High Quality Music and Sound packs are only supported for "Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition" and Duke It Out In D.C. addon.
High Resolution Pack in not supported by Duke Xtreme addon, NAM, WWII GI, The Christmas Project mod, Nuclear Showdown mod, Alien Versus Predator TC, Clear the Coast (SP map), Vacation Cove Episode and WGRealms Episode.
High Quality Music packs are also available for "Duke: Nuclear Winter" and "Duke Caribbean: Life's A Beach".
There are also three alternate music packs for "Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition", the Duke Nukem 3D OST, Mac and PSX Music Packs.
A minor FAQ:
Q: I have the latest OpenAL32 and DirectX, but EDuke32 keep crashing at startup. Why?
A: Do you have DEP (Data Execution Prevention) disabled? You should.
Go to Windows System Properties --> Advanced --> Performance Options --> Data Execution Prevention --> Turn on DEP for essential Windows Programs and services only.
Q: I'm using SD_Duke mod, but I see white dots/boxes when I shoot the enemies, instead of blood.
A: Hires Texture Quality should be set to max, else you will have such visual problems.
Go to EDuke32 Options --> Video Setup --> More Settings --> Hires Texture Quality (set it to max)
You can also try to enable Anisotropic Filtering (2x-16x) for improved image quality.
A minor tip:
Right click on "Duke.Nukem.3D.Atomic.Edition.High.Resolution.v7.4-MasterFaster.part1.rar", keep pressing right mouse button, and drag and drop it to root C: , then choose "Extract Here".
This will solve your problems to unrar it.
Additional Notes:
As I already wrote above, to play a game you have to start it by running it's
corresponding Play...............bat file. I explained it already what are the names
of the games/addons/mods and what are the names of their Play...............bat files
respectively.
Now you would ask: What game can I play? I say: All !!! But you can start with the
"Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition" with SD_Duke mod as this is the original game, that
has the High Resolution Pack, High Quality Music and extra blood/gore effects.
What is the best game/addon/mod ? There isn't. It is a matter of taste! You may like
equally playing "Duke Nukem: Weapon of Mass Destruction" mod and also "Naferia's Reign:
Invasion of the Dark Mistress" mod. It's up to you. Play all of them and/or choose the
one that suites you.
What about the keys? Can you tell me the default keys?
The default keys are:
W --> Forward
S --> Backward
A --> Move left
D --> Move right
Q --> Left kick
E --> Use/open
[ and ] --> Move left/right through inventory
Enter --> Use the specific inventory item
Space --> Jump
Left Ctrl --> Crouch
Left Mouse Button --> Shoot
When you are killed, hit E to restart level. Better use the mouse to look around.
The mods like DukePlus, Nuclear Showdown, "Duke Nukem: Arena", "Duke Nukem: Weapon of
Mass Destruction" and "Naferia's Reign: Invasion of the Dark Mistress" have additional
key configuration for their enhanced features. I suggest you to read their doc/htm/txt
files for help. It is recommended to reconfigure their additional key binds for their
special functions. Also each mod will use its own configuration files, thus conflicts
with other mods will be avoided.
Also, if you encounter visual or gameplay problems while switching through the various
games/mods, you can try to delete their configuration files and/or "texcache" folder.
In some cases you have to configure again their key binds for their special menus and
features.
