Revision as of 15:59, 25 March 2015
This guide is intended to help users install the officially released add-ons to Duke Nukem 3D. Unlike other mods, they are unique in the facts that they were officially endorsed by 3D Realms (making them canon) and they were (and are) for sale.
Disclaimer: This guide assumes you have legally acquired a legitimate copy (or demo) of the add-on you wish to install, from eBay, etc.
Do not ask where you can acquire these add-ons illegally.
Before proceeding, ensure you have downloaded the latest EDuke32 and installed Duke Nukem 3D by copying the DUKE3D.GRP and DUKE.RTS files to your EDuke32 directory.
Add-on Guides
Duke it out in D.C.
a.k.a. Duke D.C., DukeDC, D.C., DC, DDC
- Install the base game.
- The next step is to provide EDuke32 with the add-on data.
- If you bought the game from Steam (as Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition), 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 one of the following files to your EDuke32 folder. (On Windows, GRP files may be labeled "Microsoft Program Group".)
- Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition on Steam: <path to Steam Library>\SteamApps\common\Duke Nukem 3D\gameroot\addons\dc\dukedc.grp.

Duke Caribbean: Life's A Beach
a.k.a. Duke Vacation: Life's a Beach, Duke Caribbean Vacation, LAB, DCLAB
- Install the base game.
- The next step is to provide EDuke32 with the add-on data.
- If you bought the game from Steam (as Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition), 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 one of the following files to your EDuke32 folder. (On Windows, GRP files may be labeled "Microsoft Program Group".)
- Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition on Steam: <path to Steam Library>\SteamApps\common\Duke Nukem 3D\gameroot\addons\vacation\vacation.grp.
