well i also like duke3d, and i hope to see a finished duke done quick one day. btw, i had to update my win98 to 2000(i hate winxp for many radical reasons) due to some work, and duke3d hangs up sometimes, so i m also going to try some sourceports.
Wow, fraps works perfectly with Duke3D. It's by far the easiest way to capture demos with sound, plus you could record levels where you start out with more than the base equipment. I was able to record 640x480 30 fps no problem.
(edit) Nevermind, it appears you're already doing so. I guess you're already planning on using a version that gets the sound, too.
Well, I'm using Fraps 1.9 : it doesn't record sound, but it's free. Fraps 2.x.x is shareware. And I have other stuff to buy. So I will try to record the sound using a sound recorder.
Can you send me a demo to see if it works on my Duke port ?
I used the 20040629 version, with a August (or September ? I can't remember) bug fix to record my first level run, because 20041013 wasn't out !
Of course I will change to the last version... and lost the compatibility with my old demos, I think. The best would be to have all versions installed on the computer
May you download the 20040629 version on http://www.edgefiles.com/dirs/776.html and try to watch a demo ? Admiral_Bob's demos might work, they are older.
Rightio, sounds good. =) Hey, while I'm here, I couldn't tell from that avi file of yours, but did you notice that strafe running like in the Doom Done Quick runs will make you run significantly faster?
Hmm, I have re-installed XP and Duke3D, and I found that on my computer I need just two versions of JonoF's : 20040629 and 20041013. I indicate which version must be used.
Some of these use bugs, which however are part of the engine and can be recreated if you know how they work. I talked about it with Radix, and it's fine.
On a different note, we should not allow dieing, even after activating the level end button. It stops timing, and I don't think having to randomly be shot down by an enemy just as you activate the nuke button is what defines skill.
