Great video! The exact list of objects that can only exist once per level: - collapsible floor - level exit door - robo hand terminal - bridge (activated by robo hand) - keycard reader - Dr. Proton video call terminal - Dr. Proton - snake tech bot - reactor - jump boots - grappling hooks - robo hand - key card For other objects, there's a hardcoded limit, which is usually 100, but only 20 for gun upgrades and health molecules, 15 for keys, and 6 for DUKE letters.

I've places many more than 15 red keys on a map, to give a similar gameplay to Mario where treasure is floating. Keys are the only thing that I can think of that float, so thousands of keys it is.

Peder Jungck is the guy behind the original Secret Agent, also from Apogee - he's still around, and I'm sure it'd be possible to contact him, if there's any information he might have sitting around about that program which would be useful.

This is truly groundbreaking to see. I just hope someone will be able to release a source port to give this game quality of life improvements, like with Duke Nukem 2's Rigel Engine.

Oh god the mirrored floor thing. So, fun fact, it's a bug in how it doesn't clear all of the back buffer properly after you've died. So if you never die, it'll show black. And there's multiple vanilla levels where it can be triggered! I talked to the programmer of the DN1 remake, and they confirmed it's fixed there, at least.

Oh hey, that's me 🙂 Yes, it's fixed in the remaster. The main issue is that the mirror effect routine unconditionally copies 30 rows of pixels, without checking if enough rows are available on screen

Xenophage? Realms of Chaos? I await with baited breath. Cool video, I remember playing "Duke's Next Adventure", a mod for the shareware episode that was on a shareware shovelware CD I had back in 1995/96. I'm pretty sure it was hex-edited, and it was my first experience with actually installing a mod for a game.

Oh yeah! A new Duke 1 level in 2024! Isn't that great? Also, I would make levels, if there weren't such limitations. The last was Stargunner, so the next game should be either Xenophage, Realms of Chaos or Death Rally. But DRally.exe and Xenophage were already reviewed, so Realms of Chaos it is!

Commander Keen 4/5/6 Level Editing Mod corner next? I remember myself briefly playing around with a DOS editor for the Goodbye Galaxy CK games called TED5, but have never produced let alone released anything playable. I'd be very interested in seeing this on a future ADG Mod video. :)

Random request that's probably unfulfillable short of undertaking a big project yourself - featuring level editing for Bart vs. The Space Mutants. A few QoL changes like those found in the one romhack I've come across, plus some more forgiving level design, and I think a lot of fun, nostalgic stuff could be made.
@Pixelmusement
@Pixelmusement Ай бұрын
There comes a point where modding an existing game becomes more trouble than just building something new. With Bart vs. The Space Mutants in particular, that game's levels weren't really built to be modified and have a massive number of hard-coded elements, thus if you wanted to make something which was "better" it would be easier and faster to just make something new. :P

I remember using one of the first DN1 level editors by David Bollinger. ANSI/ASCII characters represented items/enemies/walls.....And you could only use the keyboard (PGUP/PGDN for category switch, arrows to move cursor, space to place...).

Somewhat pointless just as an exporter for the moment, but if you can get it going the other way as an IMPORTER that's not just curious for me but probably for EVERYONE with an interest in DN1 editing, at which point you may want to get in touch with the people at moddingwiki.shikadi.net/ to contribute the tools you create! :o

@@Pixelmusement I'm not really up on editing wikis and I don't really want to get too involved in another community, but I've made it a bit nicer to use and added 2 more of the game's graphics formats (seems to be all?) for conversion in both directions. I see on there some other tool already supports it though? Although I think I already left a comment about where to get it but maybe i forgot to post it or it got automodded or intentionally deleted. If you're interested i guess it's up to you, otherwise, I'm probably not going to bother any further.

Comments with links are either auto-deleted if the link is HTTP, not HTTPS, they will also be auto-deleted if they're executable in any way, otherwise they go into a "Held for Review" buffer for me to verify first and then either allow or delete manually. At the very least you should make what you've created available, let the appropriate person/people know, and then just go from there. As for the tool you mentioned which seems to do it, that's the one I tried which does NOT. (It's either been mislabeled or once did work but no longer does.)

It was fun to play through the custom level, thank you! There is one bug where you can get "out of bounds" of the level (I guess, actually, just too close to the edge as you explained) and have weird graphical glitching. Was that intentional?
@Pixelmusement
@Pixelmusement Ай бұрын
No... In fact, that shouldn't be possible, but I will admit, I didn't test teleporters enough to know how the camera responds to them so I'm going to guess that's where the glitch is? I'll go test it myself and if that's the case it's an easy enough fix: Just move the teleporter. :B

(3:11) I can't get it to run. - I got DOSBOX running and mounted to my editor folder, and like you, the game files are "..\" relative to the DN1MOD folder. But no matter what, I get the error that BACK0.DN? cannot be found, and I have all 3 episodes in the game folder.
@Pixelmusement
@Pixelmusement 9 күн бұрын
WHERE you run it from is important. For "..\" to work the editor has to actually be run while the current directory goes back to the parent directory with the game files. So in your case, make sure you're actually in the DN1MOD directory when you run DN1MOD and so long as the parent directory has the game files you should be good. If you continue to have problems then make sure you haven't installed your DOS games into special folders like "Program Files" or "Desktop" as you may be running into Windows permission issues.
@Pixelmusement
@Pixelmusement 9 күн бұрын
The other problem you may be faced with is that if you're running DN1MOD as a separate program through a DOSBox frontend, it may only be mounting the DN1MOD directory and not the parent directory where Duke Nukem is installed. If the DN1MOD directory is being made the root then any actual parents of it won't technically exist as far as the emulation is concerned!

I didn't want to go over all of them because there's a lot of exceptions, but the general rule of thumb is active tiles take their background from whatever tile is to the left. When in doubt, place an active tile on the world just as it is, then try to place background tiles around it and watch for when the background of the active tile changes; then you'll know for certain which direction it takes its background from!
