Duke Nukem 3D Editing FAQ v1.5 Klaus Breuer |
242 | 2-8-97 | This archive is a huge editting faq for BUILD
users, for beginners and experts. There is also very little CON information. Updated:09-28-03 This archive now includes version 1.3(in text 1.2) of his faq. This version of the faq includes Klaus's last version of his encoded Museum which he later removed. Look in the rtcm download tools for a util that will uncode the Museum. (uucoddos.zip) Updated:11-21-03 I have also joinned the museum.zip( 7-5-96) into this archive since the encoded version lacks the faq "Guide to The Museum v0.2" which this archive has.

Build Tips v1.0 Matt Gallacher |
16 | 99 | I wrote this as a follow up to Jonah Bishop's FAQ
entitled mpfqdn19. He did an outstanding job and made it easier to understand, but there
is always room for improvement. That's why I wrote this. It mainly goes over mistakes and
effects left out of Jonah Bishop's FAQ. I mean, one guy can't do everything, so I thought
I'd lend a hand. This FAQ follow up does not explain in detail how to do every effect in
Duke Nukem 3D; only what was left out or misprinted. |
