- What's new in Duke Nukem 3D v1.3D?
- ==================================
- * Why version 1.3D and not 1.2? There was a minor leak of version 1.2, so
- we bumped the version number. V1.2 is NOT official and if you have it,
- delete it, it's illegal, and get v1.3D.
- * The major addition to v1.3D is that the full version of the game is done as
- well.
- * X,Y axis sensitivity controls for mouse (in SETUP)
- * TEN (Total Entertainment Network) support from SETUP. NOTE: Go to
- http://www.ten.net for more details on when Duke Nukem 3D will be there.
- * New load screen art.
- * Ability to record demos from the OPTIONS menu (single or multiplay game)
- NOTE: In multiplay, the "master" has to select DEMO ON.
- * Some new voice sayings.
- * F5 - Change Music. Shift-F5 to select song.
- * Multiplay changes:
- - Respawning items markers. These markers default to ON and can be turned
- on or off. They mark where items will respawn once gotten. If the
- Nuke symbol marker is red, an item is 15-30 seconds away, Yellow means
- 7-15 seconds and Green means 0-7 seconds (Stick around!). Experienced
- players might want to play with or without these, but they do add a new
- element of gameplay and help out new players by showing them where the
- items are.
- - Inclusion of DukeMatch-NOSPAWN Mode. In this mode, nothing respawns
- except the inventory items. No more running for the next health atom
- as they will be gone once grabbed. Also, no more hoarding rocket ammo
- and the like. The resources are scarce and this mode is a more true
- test of skill, as once you get down to a pistol, things get hairy.
- - Co-Op works like NOSPAWN mode. The weapons stay around, so 8 players
- can all get the Rocket launcher and not have to wait for something. The
- Co-Op rules work just like NOSPAWN mode where only the inventory items
- respawn. Also, you get to keep what you have collected from level to
- level.
- - More DukeMatch screams and yells. The more severe the damage, the more
- extreme the sound.
- - Messages in modem mode work now. They do not overlap each other anymore.
- - You can type messages with the game paused. D'oh! We forgot about that!
- - Mouse turning speed made more like v1.0 where quick 180 flicks are
- easy to do. Another goof on our part.
- - Better start points on E1L1. No more unfair roof starts.
- * Inventory items like Steroids and HoloDuke now deplete is you are looking
- into a monitor.
- * Should sound a little better. We changed the sound mixing and you should
- get less "crackle" and "pops" from your speakers.
- * Smoke trails for rockets.
- * Probably some more little things we forgot about.
