Getting Duke Nukem 3d to work

[kleenex88h]

Hey everybody! I found a place that explains how to get Duke Nukem to work on Linux here: http://www.icculus.org/duke3d/. I get the source, but when I try to 'make' it, I get an error. Actually, anytime I use the 'make' command I get an error. I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Jeremy

First of all, you have to show us the output from the terminal or this gonna be a long guessing contest ;)

Oh, oh me first. I guess sudo apt-get install build-essentialWhat do I get if I win?

[psyBSD]

You lose, cvs version is broken.

[bugzor]

i got it compiled and installed ~3months ago after LOT OF FIXING
and it still crashed after i played ~10mins

That wasn't even the whole thing because the terminal only went back part of the way and the post length limit is 30000 characters (I had 30210), but it's not like I expect anyone to read every line of this post!

I'm starting to think this may be beyond my abilities.

Can I get the ./configure output (If it's using it).

It's not using it.

I'd try DOSbox, none of the build engine ports work for me. DOSbox may be a little slow, or not work at all, I haven't tried it yet.

I did try DOSbox, and it is slow. The draw for me to use the source is that it would then run natively on linux.

[DoktorSeven]

Whew. I got Duke3d working but it wasn't easy. JonoF has a modified build that works better.

I'll try to document the steps I took, but if I miss something, or screw up a step, I apologize... warning: long and complicated instructions follow:

Grab the build engine source here (http://jonof.edgenetwork.org/index.php?p=downloads&cat=0) (JFBuild source code 20051009 596.43 kB), and the Duke3d source here (http://jonof.edgenetwork.org/index.php?p=downloads&cat=1). Extract both from the same directory so that you have both "jfbuild_src_20051009" and "jfduke3d_src_20051009" directories in the same place.

Then link the build directory to "build" (from the directory you have both these subdirs in, do ln -s jfbuild_src_20051009 build --this is because the jfduke3dsrc expects jfbuild to be in a directory called simply "build".)

You'll need several -dev libraries (libsdl1.2-dev, I'm sure, and possibly others -- I already had several game-related development libraries installed, so I'm not sure what all it needs). In addition, you'll need the nasm assembler (sudo apt-get install nasm), and fmod...

I didn't see fmod in the repositories, so I went to the site (http://www.fmod.org/), grabbed the "FMOD 3.75 Programmers API" (fmodapi375linux.tar.gz). Extracted it and found it had to be manually installed... *grr*. After extract, cd fmodapi375linux/api then sudo cp libfmod-3.75.so /usr/lib/ and sudo cp inc/* /usr/include/, and finally sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libfmod-3.75.so /usr/lib/libfmod.so.

Next: sound patches for Build and Duke Nukem. (Yeah, I know, it's a lot.) Save this link (http://www.mephisto.ma.cx/mephisto/patches/jfbuild_src_20051009.patch) into the jfbuild_src_20051009 directory, and this link (http://www.mephisto.ma.cx/mephisto/patches/jfduke3d_src_20051009.patch) into the jfduke3d_src_20051009 directory. (These patches are from this thread (http://jonof.edgenetwork.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=580) on JonoF's messageboard.)

Now we finally start building. cd jfbuild_src_20051009 and do the patch: patch -p1 < jfbuild_src_20051009.patch. Then just type make. Any errors, look for what it's trying to find (particularly in lines saying they can't find a .h file) and install the appropriate -dev package.

When done, cd ../jfduke3d_src_20051009, patch it with patch -p1 < jfduke3d_src_20051009.patch, and type make.

*whew*. Copy over your duke3d.grp file from a Duke3d install or disk into the jfduke3d source directory where the duke3d binary now rests (duke3d.grp must be lowercase) and type ./duke3d to start the game.

It worked for me, anyway... sorry if it doesn't for you.

[Or'Enn]

This worked great for me. I at least have the game installed and able to run.
But..:
When I type ./duke3d it starts up in 320x240 (8-bpp windowed)!

Thanks for that tutorial, DoktorSeve! It's all working fine for me :) I did need to install some libraries (libsdl1.2-dev and libsdl-mixer1.2, and I think libgl1-mesa-dev as well. There may be others which I've installed in the past).


When I type ./duke3d it starts up in 320x240 (8-bpp windowed)!
That happened for me as well. However, going into the options and selecting a higher resolution seems to work fine ;)

Bah! Just wait for Duke Nukem' Forever...and ever and ever and ever and ever.......

I hear some stores allow you to pre-order the game...for when hell freezes over.

[Zaggy]

fixed the dependency, will provide ready to run duke3d without licensed files

Hey zaggy, I would like a copy of that when you get it done.

Hi Zaggy id like a copy of it too

[rutger83]

Anyone had any luck getting this to work on amd64?
Any ideas?

For getting it to work on AMD64, you should probably try this:

edit the Makefile to change the CFLAGS variable. Instead of -march=pentium, make it -march=athlon64 -m32


CFLAGS=-march=athlon64 -m32 $(debug)


The only problem is that you now have to link to several 32-bit libraries, so you'd better install them in /usr/lib32 or whereever you like. If you add the 32 bit libraries from some uncommon place, you'd better adjust the LIBS variable to make it say:


LIBS=-L/your/lib32/directory/


I have tested the compiling, that works, but I don't have time to find the libs (yet). Hope to have helped someone...

[rutger83]

Ok, I've got it working on my AMD64 dapper drake. Here's what I did:

I edited the Makefiles and adjusted these values:

CFLAGS=-march=athlon64 -m32 $(debug)
LIBS=-L/your/lib32/directory/


In the lfduke directory there is something in the LIBS variable that must be appended to the value I gave here. Then I had to search for the correct libraries. I already had a few, and I have a edgy i386 version on this pc, so I could combine those. Then before running, if you don't want to install the libs in your /usr/lib32 directory, you have to adjust your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to include your win32 libs (in terminal):


export LD_LIBRARY=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/your/lib32/directory

well have you actually tried it? does it work, what are your specs? Dapper or Edgy?

you do realize that you have to have the game installed before applying this High Resolution Pack. Again, the link is only for a resolution pack, not the game!

I'm running Edgy now and haven't tried it yet, but I did get it working in Dapper. I used the instuctions from here (http://hrp.duke4.net/wiki/doku.php?id=documentation:installing_running_the_h rp_and_ports#linux_installation). I basically only installed it, played a couple levels then went on to trying other stuff as I am new to Linux so I can't really say how stable it would be.
The HRP download comes with everything you need to run Duke except the Duke3d.grp file from the original Duke3d or Atomic Edition. It has both Eduke32 and JonoF ports.
As far as my specs, they were; Ubuntu Dapper Drake, Athlon XP 3200+, 1 gig pc3200, Ati X800Pro with ATI's proprietary FGLRX drivers (8.29.6).

[rutger83]

well have you actually tried it? does it work, what are your specs? Dapper or Edgy?

you do realize that you have to have the game installed before applying this High Resolution Pack. Again, the link is only for a resolution pack, not the game!

You are right that this is only the resolution pack, but CowzRule is right that this is a nice link. You can start JonoF's duke to use the HRP. Just start it with


./duke3d /gduke3d_xtr.zip


(where you add the name of the hrp directly after the /g). You can also add other extensions the same way, just make sure you have the packs in the right directory.


Note about the AMD64 version, I didn't get the OpenGL lib support yet, but the game runs perfectly. But the HRP doesn't work without OpenGL.

Edit:
I also have Edgy x86 here, and there the HRP works flawless! Only thing that doesn't work on linux is midi support (win-only), so no nice duke tunes, but there are worse things I guess...
My specs: Athlon64 3200+, Ati xPress200M (on board), fglrx 8.26.x, 1 GB pc3200

ok, i didn't say it was a nice link! I was merely pointing out that not the game. so are you saying that I am suppose to follow the instructions to install 3dduke from the 1 page of this thread, then do the hrp thing? Also, Cowzrule states, "The HRP download comes with everything you need to run Duke except the Duke3d.grp file from the original Duke3d or Atomic Edition." So where do I get the Duke3d.grp from????

You *cannot* run this version of Duke Nukem without having the original game! In the original game (shareware, atomic, whatever) there is a file called DUKE3D.GRP. You need that one (but make it lowercase). Further, I don't think that link has everything, I still needed the JonoF port, but maybe because I can't run x86 anyway. Anyway, I don't bother to look :), the JonoF port works fine, and it's not thát hard :).

Further, I am starting to port the JonoF port to use fmodex (next version: 4). Fmod 3.75 is only distributed binary and doesn't come (and probably never will) for x86-64 platforms. With fmodex 4.04 it will then natively run on AMD64, so we can compile DN3D on all linux versions WITH MIDI and openGL support! Before we had to do without music, but this seems like a nice project for me to work on 8). I will you know when it's done on this page.

I posted the link to the HRP pack becuase the new graphics are, imho, really cool and it might help with getting Duke running on your box.
When I installed it, it made links to run the game in the "Games" menu with links to run it with either Eduke32 or JFDuke and with or without the HRP stuff.

You get the Duke3d.grp file from the original game, either regular Duke3d or the Atomic Edition. I've read that the .grp file from the Atomic Edition is prefered.

One of the things I remember: The installer installs a file in both "/usr/share/games/eduke32/" and "/usr/share/games/jfduke3d/" called "duke3d.grp" Its type is "link to unknown". If you right click on it and select properties you'll see that it's looking for "/usr/share/games/buildengine/duke3d.grp". which the installer didn't create. You'll need to create that folder and then put your "duke3d.grp" file there.

[dannyboy79]

ok, i have to ask this question again because no one seems to be answering me. When I ask, where do you get the Duke3d.grp file, I am not asking what game it comes from, I am asking where do I get the game. More specifically, is it free?

[rutger83]

You *cannot* run this version of Duke Nukem without having the original game!


So no, it's not free. Although many people can get that file from any p2p file-sharing network, usenet or whatever, they are not allowed to. ;)

[CowzRule]

Sorry, I assumed you already had the game.

No, the game is not free and where you could buy it today I don't know.

The source code that is free is what you need to build a binary to allow you to run the game on todays computers. It still requires you to have the game and from that you only need the .grp file which has all the games data, i.e. maps, sounds, graphics, ect...

P.S. dannyboy79... I sent you a PM

[Ben Sprinkle]

Just download the regular dos version. (You can get from any pirate site, not going to post links)
Then get DosBox, find it in the repositories. Will emulate it, kind of like Wine but emulates dos.

[pay]

The Shareware version is free (as in beer) and can be downloaded from here http://www.3drealms.com/duke3d/
It contains the Duke3d.grp file.

[Ben Sprinkle]

Not the full one.

[rutger83]

For dosbox: sn't it more fun to have it running natively? Fullscreen, native opengl support, hrp, etc...

[Ben Sprinkle]

First time I saw HRP blew my mind. :)

[po0f]

DoktorSeven,

I just want to let you know that those instructions worked flawlessly for me, you should consider writing a set-by-step HOWTO and reposting it.

I can now kick *** and chew bubble gum at the same time. :)

[BrendanM]

Hey all, I just got this working and it's awesome. I was able to just install the packages available on the HRP website, and it does install the full game (both eDuke and JFDuke) minus the Duke3d.grp file. I have a couple questions though. First, I used the .grp file from the shareware version and it says stuff like "Unregistered Version" on it. Does using this shareware .grp have any impact on the actual gameplay, or does it just add a nag screen? Second, there doesn't seem to be any music in the game. Is that because midi is closed-source? Is there anything I can do to fix that?

[yarg]

Seems I am a bit late to this party.. :) I got JonoF's source to compile by following DoktorSeven's instructions. The only other dependency I needed was libsdl-mixer1.2-dev, which was quickly found in the repository. However, now there seems to be a problem with ALSA, which is preventing me from running the binary.

Any ideas on where to start? I'm running Edgy (Gnome) with 2.6.17-11-386 kernel.

Update: I should have investigated ALSA's configs a little more before posting. I commented out the line "fragment_size 4096" in the /etc/asound.conf file, and it now runs.. with sound (until I start a new game). When I start a game, sound ceases to work, and the program must be killed from the console to exit.

http://wiki.eduke32.com/stuff/

There's a Linux binary snapshot from the 14th (file upload dated the 15th). I know the guy making the port, good stuff (I do beta testing). There's also an SVN but it's not public so it's the best you can get for now ;).

www.eduke32.com info on Eduke32.

It runs Duke Nukem 3D, as well as mods and NAM/WWII GI. It also extends modding capabilities and has some graphical updates even beyond what Jonof's port has. Newer versions of the HRP are based off of Eduke32.

As of that snapshot everything should work swimmingly on Ubuntu.

[yarg]

Hmm, pre-compiled binary Segfaults for me. :(

I was able to get the latest snapshot to compile for linux though. It runs. Unfortunately, no linux sound support? The source has been out for awhile.. I'm surprised nobody's got sound working yet. The graphics are definitely smooth, and I haven't even finished getting the HRP to try yet.

[Mblackwell]

The sound is working in that precompiled snapshot. It's not in the source for various reasons. It's on the private SVN though (not that that helps you).

What are you running though so I can give a bug report to the guy making it and see if he has an idea of why it would.

[guysmiley25]

I got Duke Nukem working yay!

I was wondering if there was a nice way to install this into your system, or a way to create a nice way to install. eg a .deb package.

Where you have like duke3d in /usr/games/duke3d, etc.

Thanks

[guysmiley25]

I have found that all you need after the compile, is the duke3d binary file, and the duke3d.grp file.

So I deleted everything else, And remove all the packages/libs that I had installed during the complie. Then when I then ran duke3d, It complained about libSDL Mixer. So I installed libsdl-mixer1.2. And now all works well.

I have ever done anything like this before but I was wondering would it not be possible to have the setup laid out like this

1) Have a directory /usr/lib/games/jfduke3d
2) In this directory a script jfduke3d, and the duke3d binary
3) link (ln -s) jfduke3d to /usr/share/games/duke3d

And have the jfduke3d script be kinda like so

if [ /usr/lib/games/jfduke3d/duke.grp exist ] ; then
/usr/lib/games/duke3d
else
echo jfduke3d not configured
echo Please run as root, duke3d -setup
fi

if [ $1 == "-setup" ] ; then
Take user though putting in there CD and copy over there duke.grp file.
fi

Or something.

And then package all this into a .deb file, and make it have dependences libsdl-mixer1.2 and what ever else is required.

Would this work? as it would be a much nicer way to install.

[Mochtroid-X]

This place has .deb installers for eDuke32 and JFDuke3D, though I cannot get eDuke32 to work or JFDuke3D to run in 3D (or at a playable speed for that matter), but here it is:

http://ny00123.sitesled.com/files.html

[the_eternal_dark]

Mochtroid-X, I'm having the same problems. Sometimes it won't even start.

The high resolution pack is available too. http://hrp.duke4.net/download.php

Anyone care to give a walkthrough? Maybe we are missing something....

[Mochtroid-X]

Well, just messing around today I clicked on the jfduke3d launcher in games and, amazingly, it runs at playable speed. It still only runs in 8-bit software rendering, but I can play it though.

-edit-
I got it running in 32-bit OpenGL rendering! I noticed the .jfduke3d folder in my home folder had a log file in it for duke3d. Inside I found a line saying:

Loading libGL.so
Failed loading OpenGL driver. GL modes will be unavailable.

I searched for this file and found one in '/usr/lib/nvidia' under the filename 'libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa'. I made a link to it in my .jfduke3d folder and renamed it to libGL.so and was able to play it in 32-bit 3D and fullscreen! :guitar:

Unfortunately... ...it lags badly... ...and I have an overclocked GeForce 7950GT... :confused:

[atlanta800]

There is an ubuntu deb here (http://ny00123.sitesled.com/files.html) for JFDuke3D. You have to copy your binaries (from the CD or Windows Install) to ~/.jfduke3d/

But when I try to run it I get:
There was a problem initialising the Build engine:
Failed to load TABLES.DAT!

I searched around and found some things about renaming DUKE3D.GRP to duke3d.grp but that didn't help any. Any ideas?

EDIT: Seems like I posted too soon. The duke3d.grp and DUKE.RTS files need to go in your /usr/share/games/jfduke3d/ directory. However I still have some problems:
1) Sound works through the menu until I start a game, and then I get no sound
2) The game does not close happily it usually locks up the system (solved with a restart of X) or if it does exit, I loose control of the mouse (it just sites there, and i can't move it)
3) Most likely related to 2, any settings changes I make aren't saved when I go to reload.

Anyone have any ideas?

I only needed the duke3d.grp to get it working myself.

those are exactly my problems at the moment here. has anyone resolved this in the meantime? i think this is the most viable solution for duke3d on ubuntu right now.

[mister_k81]

If you are using EDuke32 or JFDuke, did you try installing timidity from the repositories? I'm pretty sure the game is crashing, because it's trying to play the game midi music files but can't because there's no software to play them.

[fululian]

gee, this was some genius-tip, which solved everything in two seconds. thank you very much. i am now playing duke nukem 3d atomic edition full screen at 1280 x 800, full sound, saving everything at will, and exiting correctly. let me buy you a drink next time you in berlin.

:guitar:

bye

[Mblackwell]

You should definitely be using Eduke32 instead of JFDuke if you can though, as JFDuke hasn't been updated in a long while and isn't compatible with the latest HRP, or with a lot of newer mods.

[fululian]

eduke32 wouldn't wanna work on my sys, so jfduke is the choice for me until now...but i'll try eduke32 once in a while. thanks.

another thing, since every one is talking about the "high resolution pack", i often tried to get it via http://www.edgefiles.com/files/21980.html , but this server seems to have been down for quite a while, and i cannot find anywhere else. does anyone know where to get this pack?

thanks.

[beeldings]

Have you tried the MojoSetup for Duke Nukem 3D? Download it here (http://icculus.org/mojosetup/examples/duke3d/duke3d-mojosetup-linux-x86.bin). First, change the permissions on the installer:


chmod +x duke3d-mojosetup-linux-x86.bin


Then, to execute the installer (this will install it to your home directory):


./duke3d-mojosetup-linux-x86.bin


To run the game:

cd ~/duke3d; sh duke3d-bin


You will need the original CD to install the full version, but the installer will download and set up the shareware version for you if you don't own it. The MojoSetup for Duk3D is still alpha software, so it may or may not work for you.

[fululian]

thanks i'll try this one out. which version of the duke-ports does this installer install?

and another thing - does anyone know where the up and running jfduke32 saves the screenshots? if i punch F12, it saves the screen, but i do not know where to (or what the file is named anyway). ? thanks
