Duke3D User Made Con Scripts (CON patches and small mods) - This page provides Con Editors and the Novice, Duke CONtrol reference to help learn from existing codes. Of course most of the Cons where originally designed for playing with.

Note: Reminder - Always give credit to the original authors from which you base your new cons off of.  Keep track of your additions.

Note: All players MUST have the SAME EXACT Cons, Maps, Art and Sounds etc to keep the game in sync during multi-player.

Standard Compatibility Notes:

 - To play all these control scripts you basically would need both versions of duke (1.3d/1.5), or you'll have to modify the cons yourself to get them to work correctly.

CONs: Cons from v1.3d maybe compatible with v1.4/1.5 However 1.4/1.5 cons are not compatible with 1.3d , EDuke User note:  Duke1.5 Cons are compatible.

EDuke32 Compatibility Notes:

- To play all these control scripts with EDuke32 you basically would need both versions of duke (1.3d/1.5), or you'll have to modify the cons yourself to get them to work correctly.

CONs: EDuke32 has hardcoded workarounds for most of the issues that came up when testing faulty CON files that worked with the original DOS version.

.BAT Launchers: These add-ons may need fixes like changing a .bat file (if present) to call eduke32.exe instead of duke3d.exe.

Hacked duke3d.exe:  Some add-ons provide a hacked executable or provide a patch to hack the executable to add "features" or function for the add-on to work correctly. These type of add-ons require you to manual manipulate the enhanced features of EDuke32 to restore full compatibility, such as .cons and the game menu, etc...

Note: Although some Con Sets include combined function codes, there listed within there primary category. They may contain additional coding that would normally be placed elsewhere if they where standalone.

15.1

Includes: Uncompressed CONs

One other thing, STEROIDS have an extra ability, if on steroids, and if Duke's health falls below 50, the game will attempt to keep it at 50 until the steroids run out! Still, Duke's gotta watch out for close, multiple shotgun blasts and RPG explosions!!!

Includes: Map; file full of FEMS, marines and organtics to try FEMCON out on!!!

Features:

I. Rapid-fire RPG
A. While on steroids, you can use weapon #1 to fire rpgs rapidly
B. Note: a bug here..if you run while shooting rapidly you will kill
yourself..jetpack and run instead, or walk.

II. Nitro Mines
A. While NOT using steroids, you can use weapon #1 to lay nitro
mines...but get away as soon as you do...the mines will arm in
seconds (they turn red when armed).
B. These mines will go off 1) if shot, 2) if you press spacebar, 3) if
a player gets anywhere near them. Note: pressing spacebar will
detonate a mine even if not armed so you can fire one quickly when
an opponent is hot on your tail!
C. If you HOLD the ~ key a mine will drop every few seconds

III. Holographic Camouflage
A. Duke can now become scenery objects to fool or lure your opponent.
Duck, then hit the spacebar a few times until you become the object
of your choice, there are about a dozen to choose from.
B. You can walk, run, or shoot while camouflaged, but any other action
will return you to your normal appearance.
C. The objects you can become are (in order): atomic health, rubber can,
pistol ammo, small health kit, rpg, toilet, lizard head, chair, bottle,
fire hydrant, hooker, holoduke.

Now you can play real team battles. Each player has a skin that differentiates them from the rest (there are only four different ones, so they can repeat)

Skins (Name - Player): - Duke Nukem (1 and 5) - Trooper (2 and 6) - Liztroop (3 and 7) - PigCop (4 and 8) .

Game13B.con - for Duke3d vers 1.3d
----------------------------------

The Boss2 and Boss3 are now killable without ending the game. Approx. 10 Rpg's will do the trick

If you give a Trooper, a Pigcop or a Lizman a palette of 18 he will grow approx 20% in size and take about 5 to 6 shotgun shots to kill him. He will be recognized by his gray clothing and a slight size increase.

To end an Episode or level without having to kill a BOSS you can use TILE 329 as a sprite with a palette 7. Make the sprite non blocking (blue in 2d mode)

Game15B.con - for Duke3d vers 1.4 or 1.5
----------------------------------------
Here we have the same functions as with Game13B except the other PigCop Riot Tanks (tile 1870) are now mobile. They shoot Rpg's and attack on sight.

The kit is a mod that combines MANY edited cons together to produce one Solid group of CONS. It Enhances Duke play and is leaning towards Realistic Duke Matches. Hopefully it will become a basis for "Realistic."
