High Resolution Mod
Installation instructions[5]
|
- The following instructions will allow the High Resolution Mod to be used with the Megaton Edition without being forced to use the EDuke32 source port
- Make a file with a backup copy of the original file of the game.
- Download the following files:
- Move the downloaded files to the installation folder.
- Extract the Duke Nukem 3D High Def Pack. If you moved all the files at the same time, then you should be able to extract the files without having to browse manually at the start of the extraction.
- Execute the file Setup.bat and a cmd window will open. Select the first option by simply writing "1" and pressing enter.
- The Setup.bat will install the graphical enhancements for the base game and the expansions as well. After it finishes installing for the base game and each expansion, the Eduke32 launcher will open. Close it and continue the installation. During the installation, the installer will ask you various of times for administrator permission to install its files and you are to accept the prompt each time.
- Open Setup.bat again and select option 3 to install the Steam Duke HD packs. This process may take a long time depending on your system.
- Go to
<path-to-game>\bin and delete duke3d.exe and replace it with the duke3d.exe from the backup files.
- Head to your Steam library and enter the Properties menu for Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition. Open "Set Launch Options" and write the following:
-applaunch 225140 /gduke3d_hrp.zip /hhrp.def . If this prompt does not work with your OS, try: -xATGAME.CON -gplugandpray.zip -gDUKE3D.GRP .
Although the installation is finished, if you wish, you can install the XXX rated files separately. It is recommended that no screenshots of the textures of these files are to be shown through Steam Community under the penalty of being banned. Copy the file, xxx_pack.zip which is located in <path-to-game>\bin . Paste the file in <path-to-game>\gameroot . In "Set Launch Options", alter the prompt to: -applaunch 225140 /gduke3d_hrp.zip /hhrp.def /gxxx_pack.zip . If that prompt does not work with your OS, try: -xATGAME.CON -gplugandpray.zip -gDUKE3D.GRP -gxxx_pack.zip .
