Patch Tools

DN13PAT - Duke 3D v 1.3d TC Patch
Ben Smit
190 This program enables Duke3d version 1.3 users to design their Total Conversion's and Addons so as to include:
-new Episode
-Skill names.
-Some of the more popular Cheat codes can also be changed to whatever you like.
(never before done, until now...Some features similar to what the Atomic edition has in its cons)

 

TooL13 v1
nyk
1.08M A DUKE NUKEM 3D v1.3D total conversion installation util.
Tool13 will modify duke3d.exe using an ini file for instructions.
Some variables that can be changed;
-con rename
-grp rename
-episode rename
-skill rename
-Global sound change
-uses script input
Similar to Dn13pat util above by Ben Smit, but better.

 

Duke 3d 1.3d Global snd modifier
nyk
11 -modifies the three global snds in duke3d.exe

Sounds 9, 14, & 17 are built in global sounds. (rpg explode, pipe explode, & laser trip explode) So you can replace those sounds to have your own global sounds. The problem is, when an RPG explodes the sound is activated internally. To have exclusive control over a global sound you need to change the flags in the exe. (or at least that's the only way I have found) In duke3d.exe I found a 9, 14 & 17 that when changed, the new sounds are global. The d3dg.exe will modify those numbers in duke3d.exe.

base# is 0-253, it and the next 2 sequential numbers are used.
Normal Restores the standard numbers.
Status Look only.
# is 0-255, Manual setup
 
EXEPatch v1.20
Photon Man
30.7 Universal file patcher (designed for executables) Used to patch BUILD Game EXE's, you must know where to patch of course.

Other Misc Patches - These are generally patches that are not directly related to updating the game.

pk_duke3d_sfx
Compiled by perkristian
7.10M hi-res Duke Nukem 3D sounds. I've "only" found 55 sounds, so it's far from a complete pack. Still though; it's fun to listen to better versions of these classic sounds, like "mice3", "glass" and of course "squish" :-P
 
Duke-It-Out-In-D.C. Patch v1.01
dukedcp.exe

Converting Build v1.3 to v1.4
Ben Smit
11 If you already have Build vers 1.4 you can still use Bpatch to patch your Build so to execute in any directory you wish. The same goes for - if you only have Duke v1.3. I guess this patch allows build 1.3 to be used with 1.4 maps aswell. Note: This is not 100% conversion(read enclosed text)

Sound Blaster MPU401 Fix v1.00
Creative Labs, Inc.
10 Adds support for Creative's MPU401 port to several programs which currently support Roland's MPU401 cards but fail to work with the Sound Blaster 16. If you have a Wave Blaster or an external MIDI module that you wish to use but your computer locks when you select Sound Blaster Pro digitized sound and MT32 or General MIDI music then this utility should fix the problem.
