===Keyboard setup===
===Mouse setup===
Under '''''mouse setup''''', you will find the menu which allows you to configure which functions are assigned to which mouse buttons.  You will also find the following options:
====Sensitivity====
:'''''Sensitivity''''' is a slider which allows you to configure how sensitive the in-game mouse movement is.  Lower values equal a lower degree of mouse sensitivity, of course.
====Mouse aiming toggle====
:'''''Mouse aiming toggle''''' determines whether the mouse aim functionality in the game is toggled on or off.  Note that this option will be disabled if the 'mouse aiming type' option in player setup is set to 'held'.  Available values are '''''on''''' and '''''off'''''.
====Invert mouse aim====
:'''''Invert mouse aim''''' controls whether or not vertical mouse input is inverted in the game.  If this option is enabled, moving the mouse upwards in-game will move your view downwards and vice-versa.  Available values are '''''on''''' and '''''off'''''.
====Advanced====
=====X-axis scale=====
:'''''X-axis scale''''' is a multiplier for mouse input on the X axis.  This can be used to fine-tune the horizontal mouse sensitivity separately from the vertical mouse sensitivity.  Values range from '''''-4.00''''' to '''''3.88'''''.
=====Y-axis scale=====
:'''''Y-axis scale''''' is a multiplier for mouse input on the Y axis.  This can be used to fine-tune the vertical mouse sensitivity separately from the horizontal mouse sensitivity.  Values range from '''''-4.00''''' to '''''3.88'''''.
=====Dead zone=====
:The '''''dead zone''''' option allows you to configure the game to ignore a certain amount of mouse input.  This can be useful if you have a mouse which "twitches" and the subsequent sporadic twitching of the game view bothers you.
=====Digital axes actions=====
:'''''Digital axes actions''''' enables you to assign game functions to the so-called 'digital axes' of your mouse.  Most players will never have a need to change this.


===Joystick setup===
EDuke32 has several configuration menus full of options which allow you to adjust many aspects of the game to your preference.  The following pages will explain the various sub-menus and the settings you will find within them when you select '''''options''''' from the game's main menu.

Windows Installation

  1. Download EDuke32 and extract it to a new folder.
  2. The next step is to provide EDuke32 with the game data.
    • If you bought the game from Steam, GOG.com, or ZOOM Platform and installed it normally, copying the data yourself is not required. EDuke32 will use the Windows registry to automatically identify your installation and add the required data to its search path.
    • Otherwise, copy the files DUKE3D.GRP and DUKE.RTS from one of the following locations to the folder created in step 1. (On Windows, the GRP file may show up as a "Microsoft Program Group".)
      • Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition on ZOOM Platform: C:\ZOOM PLATFORM\Gearbox Software\Duke Nukem 3D - Atomic Edition
      • Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour on Steam: <path to Steam Library>\SteamApps\common\Duke Nukem 3D Twentieth Anniversary World Tour
      • Duke Nukem 3D (3D Realms Anthology) on Steam: <path to Steam Library>\SteamApps\common\Duke Nukem 3D\Duke Nukem 3D
      • Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition on Steam: <path to Steam Library>\SteamApps\common\Duke Nukem 3D\gameroot\classic
      • Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition on GOG.com: <Program Files>\GOG.com\Duke Nukem 3D
      • Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition CD-ROM: <CD root>\ATOMINST
      • Duke Nukem 3D CD-ROM: <CD root>\DN3DINST
      • If you have not purchased the game, the shareware demo is also supported.
  3. Optionally, see the HRP site which lists graphical and music update packs, including the High Resolution Pack.
  4. Run EDuke32! EDuke32 (eduke32.exe) will allow you to play the game, and Mapster32 (mapster32.exe) lets you create custom maps.
  5. To run any of Duke Nukem 3D's various add-ons, like Duke It Out in DC, Life's a Beach, Nuclear Winter, etc, refer to Installation Guide for Official Add-ons after following steps 1 through 3.
