Overview:

This is an Amiga 68k port of Duke Nukem 3D based on an old Atari port

with some newer features from Chocolate Duke added for extra flavour.

Requirements:

1) An RTG Amiga.

2) 68060 processor or better.

3) 32 MB of RAM.

4) AHI installed and configured (see links section below).

5) Music packs for digital music playback (see links section below).

6) The Duke Nukem 3D data files (must be the full PC Atomic version!).

Configuration Options:

The tooltype 'closewb' can be used to close the Workbench.

You must specify a stack of at least 300,000.

The AHI device used will be the one setup in your AHI Prefs (unit 0).

You will need to place the PC game data files DUKE3D.GRP and DUKE.RTS

in the AmiDuke folder.

You will need to place the digital music files in the AmiDuke music folder.

Any errors *should* be written to a file called 'ERROR.TXT' in the game

directory.

To release the mouse capture in windowed mode you will need to access

the mouse menu.

Performance Considerations:

1) If you have a Blizzard you should really be using BlizKick, Apollo users

should be using RemApollo.

2) Fast File System is actually really slow, use PFS3 instead.

3) Playing OGG compressed music on a real Amiga will be very slow, try using

WAV files instead.

4) Use v4.18 of AHI as the later versions are too slow on a real Amiga.

5) Running in a window with an 8 bit screen mode will be slower.

Limitations:

1) No network or multi-player support.

2) No joystick support.
