!DN3D Informational Suite
This is my HTML guide pertaining to Duke Nukem 3D. It can serve either as a reference for the experienced user, or as a tutorial for people who are new to the program. I've tried to keep it as informative as possible, while still retaining simplicity for newcomers. Some of the effects described in this guide are not compatible with Duke Nukem v1.3d (nor is the included TUTORIAL.MAP). If you don't own Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition, you should probably get yourself a copy. I used to have a small "installation" section, but I've scrapped it for a few reasons. The ruling reason is because what little information it had is already included with the game.
On with it, then. If you consider yourself an expert in the field, you'll probably just want to browse through the information. If you're new and interested in learning about Build, start with the basics. If you're using Windows XP or newer (which you probably are), search the internet for JFDuke3D and EDuke32. Please note that I haven't gotten around to adding specific information for those programs yet, so virtually anything in the tutorial related to DOS should be ignored if you're using the Windows ports.
