What the Duke Nukem 3D HRP has to offer: |
- EDuke32 port for Duke Nukem 3D (by TerminX and Plagman, based on JFDuke3D |
by Jonathon "JonoF" Fowler). Supports older Polymost renderer as well as |
the more advanced Polymer renderer (with advanced effects like |

Installing is easy: |
|
First make sure you have your Duke3D CD in your CD/DVD drive or an existing |
installation of the game. You can also just have the "duke3d.grp" file somewere |
on your system. |
First make sure you have your Duke3D CD in your CD/DVD drive or an existing |
installation of the game. You can also just have the "duke3d.grp" file |
somewhere on your system. |
|
Then run the installer (the file you downloaded/got from a friend or whatever) |
by double-clicking it. Then just follow the onscreen instructions. |
Then run the self-extracting archive (the file you downloaded/got from a friend |
or whatever) by double-clicking it. Then just choose any hard drive/subdir of |
your personal preference. |
|
After installation, you start the game using the shortcut in the Duke3D folder, |
desktop or start menu called "Duke3D High Resolution Pack". Starting the game |
directly will start EDuke32 without textures and models. |
After the extraction process is complete, you may copy over any existing |
"duke3d.grp" file you already have (either directly from the installation disc |
or from the folder which contains your digital copy). Be sure to overwrite the |
existing "duke3d.grp" since this one only contains the shareware episode. |
After you are done, start the game by clicking "eduke32.exe" in the Duke3D |
folder. |
You can also create a shortcut by right-clicking the file and choose |
"Send to" --> "Desktop (Create shortcut)". |
|
IMPORTANT: To see the high resolution textures and models you have to change the |
render mode to 32-bit Polymer in the "Video Settings" under "Options" |
in the game menu. Otherwise, HRP content will not work (properly)! |

|
It is recommended to run the setup utility in order to set up your video, audio |
and controls for optimum quality and gameplay experience. However, most of the |
settings can be changed with EDuke32 ingame menu as well. |
POLYMOST COMPATIBILITY OPTION: |
For players who are unable to use the advanced Polymer renderer (e.g. because |
they experience graphics issues or their graphics card simply cannot handle it), |
please deactivate (= untick) the "Polymer" checkbox in the EDuke32 launcher and |
run the game with this parameter: -hduke3d_hrp_polymost.def |
> Example: E:\Duke3D\eduke32.exe -hduke3d_hrp_polymost.def |
Alternatively, and if you want to run mods like DukePlus, using the |
Polymost Override Pack (put into the autoload folder) is the recommended way of |
running the Polymost HRP mode. A matching version of this pack should be |
available soon after any HRP release. |

know of any problems with it so they can be sorted out in future versions. Also |
notify us if we are missing any art that's been released prior to the pack's |
release date. Even though we have skipped some stuff since we simply did not |

Please also be aware of the fact that we are still missing models and textures |
because these have not been remade yet by the community. They will probably |

Please note that all HRP v5.x contents has been optimized for usage with Polymer |
renderer. This means that if you use the older Polymost renderer, you WILL |
encounter problems (HUD weapons rendered incorrectly or other display glitches). |
Polymer requirements offer advanced graphics effects but demand much better |
hardware. If you are forced to use Polymost due to having a weaker machine, |
you have to use an older HRP build, or better the Polymost Override Pack which |
should be available as of the release of this HRP version. |

If you are forced to use Polymost due to having a weaker machine, be sure to |
launch the HRP in Polymost mode (see "Installation" section for more info)! |
