Description

Duke Nukem 3D v1.3d 'Complete Version'

Here It Is. Come Get Some!

Butt-kickin' aliens have landed in futuristic Los Angeles and humans suddenly find themselves atop the endangered species list. The odds are a million-to-one, just the way Duke likes it!

Once you see this game you can't go back to other 3D games without feeling bored. Duke Nukem 3D is so full of action, realism and unprecedented interaction that the other 3D action games seem like empty worlds sorely lacking in complexity.

Part of what separates Duke Nukem 3D from the pack is the incredible Build engine, which has been beefed up to include slopes, greatly adding to the realistic look of the environments. No longer do levels look flat. Another Build engine innovation is that anything can move in any direction, with allows for stunning environment effects, such as collapsing building that plummet into the ground, and earthquakes that shake the entire level creating chasms hundreds of feet deep, opening up to new, unexplored areas!

Features:

  • 24+ interactive, realistic, complex levels await you in the sinister streets of New Los Angeles, an orbiting space station and on the surface of the moon itself.
  • "immersive," Duke Nukem 3D delivers: With Build technology you will enter a fully interactive world of towering skyscrapers, deep canyons, murky water, functional moving vehicles and never-before-seen special effects.
  • Armed to the teeth you brandish your fully automatic sidearm, rocket launcher, remote controlled pipebombs, shrinker ray, laser trip bomb and other hi-tech weaponry designed to send the alien bastards to a messy grave.
  • Full movement control lets you sprint, jump, crawl, swim and jetpack your way through hostile environments.
  • A fully interactive, 3D level editor helps you design your own levels to play and pass around freely.
  • Multiplayer support! Duke Nukem 3D's DukeMatch(tm) feature allows for eight players to battle each other over an IPX network, or slug it out head-to-head via modem. Cooperative play is also supported.
  • Awesome and often funny speech by Duke Nukem himself.
  • SuperVGA graphics support. Requires a VESA compatible video card. Supports all major game controllers and sound cards. Game music by Bobby Prince.
  • Play it online!

Cheat Codes

  • These Cheat Codes work ONLY in Single Mode.
  • Try using the pause key before enter your code.

Most Games have 'Cheats' built in, these where typically for developers to test out there progress quickly. In the "olden" days these where never released by the publisher or developers. The only time you would have seen cheat codes is if someone discovered and revealed them.

Anyhow the following information will provide you with CODES you can use to cheat with or for mod creators to test with. Keep in mind that cheats will ruin the game for you so only use them after you have completed the game.

The following cheats are available by typing in the given codes, one character at a time. Previous versions of the game have many but not all of the cheats below.

-Cheat keys are not officially supported by 3DRealms. If you use the debug keys, 3DRealms cannot provide any support, since this alters game performance. They may make your current game session unstable. In short, using cheat keys can cause the game to malfunction or crash. Use at your own risk! However you can't damage your game permanently.



ACQUIRE CODES

DNCORNHOLIO God Mode On/Off
Warning: Being in God Mode can crash the game at certain points, depending on what you are doing. Being in God mode when you are squashed by rotating gears is one example (clipping off for 0.1 of a sec)
DNKROZ God Mode On/Off (and unlimited Jet Pack On/Off)
DNHYPER Puts Duke In Steroid Mode
DNSTUFF All Weapons, keys, and Inventory
DNWEAPONS All Weapons and Ammo *
DNITEMS All Inventory items and all Keys
DNKEYS All Keys *
DNINVENTORY All Inventory Items only

 

PLAYER-AID CODES

DNVIEW Chase View (Prints a message and goes into view mode)(or use the F7 Key)
DNSKILLx (x=0 to 3) (x=0 to 5?) Changes Difficulty of game and restarts level. 0 is no monsters.
DNMONSTERS Monsters On/Off (They will disappear as soon as they see the player)
DNSCOTTYxyy (x=Episode, yy=Level) Level Warp (default level E1L6, with no entry)*
DNSHOWMAP Updates the MAP to show entire Level
DNUNLOCK Opens all doors and Unlocks the locked doors. (vise versus)*

 

UTILITY CODES

DNCLIP Clipping Mode On/Off -Allows Duke to walk through INTERIOR Walls.
Warning: The DNCLIP code can be very dangerous. It can cause crashes or kill duke at any time. Using
automap mode appears to elevate this from ocuuring.
If you have a problem, and have used DNCLIP, restart, and do not use DNCLIP,
and see if it happens again. This was the main reason 3DRealms didn't have a DNCLIP in v1.0.
(In 1.4/1.5 this was "perfected," Maps where redone and more robust.)
 
DNDEBUG Shows Debug Information. (Upper Left corner)
Locked- ###: Leng: ##### ,Lock: ###

Locked: ID of a cache item that is locked

Leng: The length of the item

Lock: The lock count

Note: The items cached are not directly created by the Duke source.

 
DNCOORDS Shows detailed map coordinates/level information (Upper Left corner)
A: ang (angle 0-2047)
-Using the A value as a compass :
N = 0 (2048)
NW = (1794)
NE = (257)
W = (1530)
E = (513)
SW = (1280)
SE = (770)
S = (1025)

Other Coord values:
X: posx (pin point your location on the map by intersecting Y)

Y
: posy (pin point your location on the map by intersecting X)

Z: posz (altitude above and below centerline (Related to height of the map)

ZV: poszv (velocity moving up or down(Z))

OG: on_ground (indicates if dukes on a surface or not. 0 is FALSE while 1 is TRUE)

TH ?? dont know (perhaps THOLD below)

Duke1.4/1.5
AM: ammo_amount [GROW_WEAPON] (expander)

LFW: last_full_weapon (??)

SECTL: sector [cursectnum].lotag

SEED: randomseed (all 32 bits are random)

THOLD: transporter_hold (??)

 
DNRATE Shows TRUE frame rate ONLY in full screen mode. This value is also effected by the processing load on your cpu.
 

 

OTHER CODES

DNCASHMAN Spews money everywhere when you press Space.
DNBETA Displays "Pirates Suck!"
(Referring to an early pirated beta version(v1.2) of Duke Nukem 3D illegally released on the Internet some weeks before the game's legitimate release.)
DNALLEN Displays "Buy Major Stryker"
DNTODD
("dncosmo" in versions 1.0 and 1.1.)
Displays ""Register Cosmo Today!"

A) If a cheat code has a star (*) after it's description, that means it has been added new in v1.3d, or has been changed from v1.1.(Registered version only.)
old format; *DNSCOTTY xy (x=Episode, y=Level) : Level Warp, example 13 would put you in Episode 1 Level 3
(1.0) Indicates version 1.0
(1.1) Indicates version 1.1

B) The DNCOSMO cheat was removed in v1.3d, because the
keystroke conflicted with a game function. DNTODD in v1.3d
is functionally the same as DNCOSMO.

C) The DNUNLOCK cheat code does *NOT* work in shareware.
It only works in the registered version of the game.

D) You'll notice cheats are disabled on "Damn I'm Good," the most difficult skill level.  But it is possible to cheat using god mode in this skill level; this is accomplished by enabling the god cheat at a lower difficulty level, and then switching to "Damn I'm Good," either by starting a new game or with the DNSKILLx cheat.

E) "DUKE3D'S 4TH DIMENSION" is what duker's have dubbed the 'backwards world' located "inside"
mirrors. In this new "world" the monsters can move but don't seem to notice you. Everything will be backwards.
You'll also noticed when you walk through a change in shading on the floor you may get stuck. there's probably
many other unusual side effects you can find. This was tested on shareware v1.1
To try this out enter the code DNCLIP. Then find any mirror in any level and walk through it.
Warning: Being in God Mode with Clipping off can crash the game and/or produce unusual errors.

When you combine or use more than one cheat during a game session. You will notice a tendency of code conflicts. One cheat may switch off a portion of another cheat. The game will indicate that a cheat is ON, but in fact it may have been turned off or disabled by a previously activated cheat.
