Zandronum

Posting this in behalf of Espio. This is ofc, Duke Nukem, but with Better Sounds. Yes.. there was other versions, but they were all crap. So here you are. The Current Version is V3, there is V2, though V3 just updated the sounds.

Spoiler: Skin Preview (1280x1024) (Open)

And the Download Links.

DukeNukemSkinV4

DukeNukemSkinV3

DukeNukemSkinV2

Enjoy :p

UPDATE: Added updated skin; renamed it to DukeNukemSkinV4.. Hopefully Espio don't mind :p

EDIT: Updated links.

Why not post the original sprites upsized not their horrible antialiased versions...
There also seems to be random "green" pixels in places that get translated to the player color.

Well.. Tbh, I think the current sprites are just fine. I looked everywhere on my Duke3d Disk, and could not find any player sprites, so I dunno where they would be. If you can find them, that would be nice. I have the atomic Version btw.

They are in art files at tile number 5.

Hmm, Ok. Do I need to add any sort of Spaces in the skin anywhere, to allow it to be Color Changeable?

I don't know what you mean. You generally want the skin to be in green color for it to be translatable easily. Also, what I meant in my previous post was that they are in duke3d.grp, and it's art file number 5 in that package. I hope you know how to rip that, if not, use Slade3 or something.

Well, I could of sworn back in the day, that someone said in the forum that you must have little spaces in the skins somewhere, for teamcolors to work. I dunno though, I musta misread that, or not remember it right.

As for the skin, I can't seem to find it. I cracked it open with Slade 3, changed the Palette to Duke Nukem, added Duke3d.grp as the base archive, and when i go to TITLES005.art, it comes up as the stripper from e1m1's movie screen. What am I doing wrong here?

You need to skip to the later art indexes. It's at probably the 100th or something around there.

There's a problem. I only got TITLESART001-019...

SLADE handles .art files a little funny--rather than showing up as an archive full of art files, they show up only as one single image.
This makes nicking from Dook kind of difficult.

I mean Tiles005, and then you need to move 100 units or so...

XWE is epic when it comes to extracting from .art files, try it I used it many times on shadow warrior and should work fine with the other ones.

Hmm.. Ok I will see what I can do.

Well.. Seeing as I have no luck at all Extracting the Exact Sprites from the Duke3d GRP file. I'll just leave it as is... Maybe along down the road, when I'm able to do such a task, I may make a new Topic with this, as it has been littered with troubleshooting and other non-sense not related to How Awesome the skin is..

Though I do give thanks for helping, it just seems like a hell of a task for such a nub like me to do. Anyhow, I guess I have to play the "Deal W/ It" Card, till I can figure this out. I have been working on my HUD, and Xen's Old HUD.. (Taking out all the ST junk out of it, making it compatible with Zandronum, and Updating it with the stuff I added to my HUD, which is also unreleased at this time.)

If anything, I know this is a bit off topic but.. I had alot of time to think about some stuff, and the possibility of getting my net back, pretty much died out, but who knows.

I really do think the Sprites that Espio provided is good enough. The sounds are good, but perhaps.. Espio, if you do read this, perhaps you can convert some of the shitty sounding.. Sounds, to well better bitrates or whateva. Some of them are perfect, others are just.. Meh.

Well it'd be good to let me know which ones to mess with.

Well.. Some from duke3d are kinda in bad quality. I dunno, most if not all sounds.. kinda sound a bit grainy. Not sure if you can do much for em but.. It just annoys me to hear one good Sounding one, then it switches to a bad one.

And Maybe perhaps balance out the volume between all of them.. I know its a tall order but.. it helps not having to turn down my volume, or rather, blowing my speaker at the heat of the moment when one of the taunts go off heh.

Well I could do that, make them all at the same volume; to be honest that kinda annoyed me too so prolly going to do work on that for a bit.

Why don't you remove the jetpack? It's actually useless. Duke doesn't have a jetpack always

Because theese are the original duke3d sprites, he always had a jetpack on him in 3rd person.

Yeah but, you can see a jetpack on him in the first level even if he doesn't have a jetpack :O
