Does anyone know if this Eduke32 ( http://eduke32.com/ ) works with the GOG version of Duke Nukem 3D? It appears to want installation files from the CD in order to be installed (specifically the DN3DINST or ATOMINST folders) and I'll probably buy Duke from GOG if it does.
Thanks!

It will work for sure, using Eduke32 and the GOG version of Duke 3D myself.

I still think it's amazing I can run Duke3D in 1920x1080, and nothing looks stretched at all.
You just have to dump EDuke32 into the DN3D directory and it will automatically detect the game and do everything itself; the installation files aren't needed.

EDuke32 uses a completely new renderer--the skewing limitation the original engine suffered from no longer occurs, so it can support any given resolution (this is most obvious if you have mouselook enabled and compare it to mouselook in the DOS original).

Awesome, thanks!

The easiest way to make EDuke32 work is just to copy the DUKE3D.GRP to the EDuke32 directory, nothing else is required.
Eduke32 works on the same principle as other DOS 2.5D FPS games, that all you need is the original data file, which contains all the game data. Just grab DUKE3D.GRP and throw it into the source port's directory and you're good to go!
Of course, I like playing it in DOSBox, to retain that old "DOS" feel. But I'm weird like that.
Get the HRP it works great with EDuke and makes everything 3D with new guns :D

It's ugly as shit, though. (Gun/enemy models)

I don't think it looks that bad.
I've just downloaded Duke Nukem 3D from GOG and have tried running it theough eDuke 32 for Mac (sorry, I'm using a mac) but really can't find the .grp file referred to elsewhere. I've tried the 'show contents' option when clicking on the Duke Nukem icon but I cannot see it anywhere. I've also checked the 'show hidden files' approach but really cannot see it. Feeling a bit think now but would be grateful for any assistance.
I'll verify, just booted up D3d for the first time and listened to lots of posts about EDuke32. Works great on my older XP machine, runs in 1280x960 fullscreen and looks fantastic. Auto-detected my GOG install and has modern control scheme that is way better than the DOS version from GOG install alone. Couldn't play this game without EDuke, just adding 1 more testimonial to the list.
Actually the GOG version is advertised on EDuke's site. So it's pretty much a given.
I had out-of-sync-sound with the DOS Box version, plus some graphical glitches. I decided to try eduke32.

I had a massive headache finding that 'GRP file'. I'm no tech ninja, but I can read and follow instructions and yet still, it absolutely did not want to be found. In the end I was "pants to that" and so just created a folder for eduke32, to which I unzipped it's contents, copied the installer from GOG's DOS Box Duke Nukem 3D, whole, and threw it (pasted it) in the unzipped eduke32 folder.

Why use a scalpel when you can use a shovel!

I don't know if that was the best idea. All I know is it worked for me, and I haven't encountered any problems with it. Great game by the way!

My view: Old Beatles LP for record players; Beatles CD/MP3 or whatever for today's sound systems .../ Old CD of Duke for old PC's and monitors / eduke32 for today's setups. DOS Box Duke 3D just doesn't fit for me; wish it did, but...

No mods for me yet though. May try them out of curiosity in future...
God, this game is fun! This and Doom. GOG needs Doom.

High Resolution Polymer and Duke Plus can do wonders for Duke Nukem 3D.
