<GeorgB3DR> DN:  Plut PAK/Atomic need the CD to run.  Sorry, but it's a piracy 
issue.  Besides, nearly all games do that these days anyway
<ChrisH> Don't leave while I'm gone George, or I'll be forced to break something.
<Ha|GoD> george:i havent seen the plutonium pak
<pailhead> Good idea George :)

<GeorgB3DR> DOL;  Yes, we will do that
<JWolf> I recieved mail from 3D Realms, today.
<GeorgB3DR> DN: Yes...
<JWolf> It was an order form for Atomic Edition, and Plutonium Pak...

<GeorgB3DR> No crossbow
<D_Nukem> George: What are the three firing modes for the Guardian Head?
<aeon_flux> Man.. I want to play duke
<Ha|GoD> Has the pltonium pak been released?

<aeon_flux> I don't have Kali, or Ten.
<yemp> is there a cheat while in multi-player that allows you to see what hte other 
person is doing.. i know there is but dont know what it is
<aeon_flux> hehe
<aeon_flux> Loser calls, thus, you. :P
<Ha|GoD> Has the pltonium pak been released?
<Ha|GoD> Has the pltonium pak been released?
<aeon_flux> hehe :)
<JWolf> yemp: No.
<JWolf> There is no cheats for multi-play.
<Ha|GoD> where u live aeon?
<Ha|GoD> and i would wipe the floor with u
<Ha|GoD> Has the pltonium pak been released?
<Ha|GoD> Has the pltonium pak been released?
<JWolf> It is still shipping, Ha|GoD.
<yemp> JWolf: there is but I dont know what it is..
<aeon_flux> No you wouldn't
<aeon_flux> why does it matter, it's all 10cents a min.
<JWolf> Be patient.
<D_Nukem> George: Is Rail Gun one or two words?   I'd like to get the official 
names for each weapon.
<JWolf> hehehe Sprint...
<GeorgB3DR> DN:  2 words?
<yemp> jwolf: there is 2.. that one.. my friend did it to me.. but he will not tell 
me how to do it
<GeorgB3DR> Hold...I have some Plut PAK news......
<D_Nukem> George: Rail Gun or Railgun :)
<aeon_flux> I'm on a p200 pro w/32 megs ram, 17" monitor and diamond stealth 3d 
4meg vid card..
<aeon_flux> so it's not slow.
<GeorgB3DR> DN:  We're calling it Rail Gun.  What's proper?  I have no idea
<D_Nukem> George: With SOS, what is the limit to the number of sectors set over

<AlfredE> why, if it isn't the famous George B!
<D_Nukem> George: Any story for SW yet?
<GeorgB3DR> Plut PAK news....
*** aeon_flux (rban@ip39.salisbury.dmv.com) has left #duke3d
<GeorgB3DR> GT told us that PLUT PAK was shipping to stores last Friday and 
today,Monday.  That measn you should see it by wed-friday
<pailhead> George: are the Wi95 themes still included in the Pak?
<GeorgB3DR> We will start shipping Plut PAK cd's on Friday.  The initial ones, then 
the bulk a few days later.
<GeorgB3DR> Most pre orders for Plut PAK shoudl be shipped this weekend.
<GeorgB3DR> Pail:  Yes
<GeorgB3DR> DN:  Not really :) Something is forming though.  
<GeorgB3DR> I just confirmed that we are getting some Plut cd's on Wed/thurs.   We 
will ship them all on Fri-Sat until we run out.  The balance of cd's will be 
here early next week.
<AlfredE> I thought they were already being shipped... was I misinformed?
*** Nvass (~Daemon@portB30.Generation.NET) has joined #duke3d
<GeorgB3DR> I get lagged?
<D_Nukem> George: I have a suggestion...  Games like Duke3D have so many add on 
.map files that one collects, making the directory the game is in very full and 
messy.  How about adding a /maps  sub dir for maps and add on files in future 
games?
<Nvass> hey george

<Legion> seeeaann
<seanshawn> leh: u wanka
<JWolf> George:  I'm not sure if you know this, but will we be able to use the new 
art in our own levels from plutonium pak?
<GeorgB3DR> Alfred:  Yes.  We have been wating on GT for the cd's, but most 
per-orders will ship by this weekedn.
<seanshawn> leh: u didnt tell me georgypoo was here!
<Nvass> when is shadow warrior coming out anyways?
<GeorgB3DR> DN:  That feature is in Plut Pak, v1..  Can make a map dir and have 
infinite maps in them
GeorgB3DR PING reply: 56 secs
<GeorgB3DR> Done....next....
<yemp> any good sites that have multiplayer hints and tips ??
<seanshawn> george: u should've done a flashy win95 duke launcher in plu pak :)
<GeorgB3DR> JW:  Yes, there is no difference in technology.
<AlfredE> D_N:that's a good idea, I second the motion
<GeorgB3DR> Nv:  Early 1997
<Nvass> ok kewl
<D_Nukem> George: Do SW or Blood have a sound card auto-detect option in them - or 
are you sticking to the same old setup program?
<GeorgB3DR> DN:  Same old setup for now....
<GeorgB3DR> I cannot wait to swicth sound routines with the next generation of 
games 
<D_Nukem> George: That means starting with Prey?
<DOLey> how easy will it be to convert Duke maps to SW and blood maps
<GeorgB3DR> The current ones need some help
<GeorgB3DR> DN:  Prey and the next Duke game...
<GeorgB3DR> DOL:  Pretty easy.  The tag systems are different though, meaning 
doors will not work etc...
<D_Nukem> George: What company made Stargunner? I cannot find a name anywhere.
<GeorgB3DR> I told the teams to use the same tag system, but NOOOOO....they wanted 
to be different
<DOLey> ok
<GeorgB3DR> DN: The team didn't have a company name.  Just an Apogee label game.
<AlfredE> George: Has there been any work on Duke part 4?
<yemp> any good sites that have multiplayer hints and tips ??
<GeorgB3DR> Alfred: Some r&D and some story concepts etc.  We will begin for real 
on Jan 1st.
<seanshawn> george: how large are the plu pak levels? suitable for 2 player dmatch 
?
<GeorgB3DR> You guys wanna see jetpack, holoduke, steroids in the next Duke, as 
well as new stuff?
<GeorgB3DR> Sean:  Yes, the Plut PAK is geared for the best 2 player on the 
planet.
<GeorgB3DR> There are 3-4 HUGE levels though
<DOLey> steroids weren't that usefull
<seanshawn> george: cooleo :)
<D_Nukem> George told me that Stargunner would be released in 2 more weeks, and it 
ended up being 2 days.  Now I think that's a first, having a game come out 
before it's said to be. :)
<AlfredE> George: I dunno about the steroids... I've yet to use them well
<GeorgB3DR> Duke Burger is one of the best levels....ever

*** Remy (Cham@Cust124.Max20.Atlanta.GA.MS.UU.NET) has joined #duke3d
<Remy> hi!!!
<GeorgB3DR> Alfred:  They counter shrinking and allow quick escapes.  Very useful
<AlfredE> yeah, I guess, but... =+]
<GeorgB3DR> The point is, do you want signiture items like Jetpcak, roids, 
holoduke in the nest Duke?  Id' think so.
<DOLey> I just never had a chance to found them great
<seanshawn> steroids are something i forget about too often..
<D_Nukem> George: What should be the general name of the monsters in SW be? In 
Duke they were Aliens, in SW they are...
<pailhead> George: can I make one suggestion with the next Duke?  Please keep the 
Devastator!!!!  I love that weapon!
<AlfredE> George: as opposed to what? generic armor, etc?
<seanshawn> [pail: devastator? ugh.. sucks,,
<Nvass> george: well uhmm making a new duke3d i don't think that would be worth 
it...
<GeorgB3DR> DN: Mutants?  Genetically altered humans
<DOLey> how about beer cans and some Keenish humor as well
<Nvass> it's a great game but you get bored of any game's second part
<pailhead> sean: I disagree... but that 
<pailhead> sean: but that's me :)
<GeorgB3DR> Alfred:  No, still have other new items, we just wanna carry some of 
the cool stuff over to the next game too
<seanshawn> pail: devastator is too slow, and does too little damage..
<AlfredE> George: got it
<seanshawn> shotgun rocks my world

<AlfredE> sean: You old Doomer... =+]  Learn to adjust to bigger and better 
firepower!  ;-}
<seanshawn> alfred: shotgun is hands down best weapon in duke, if you have a good 
aim..

an rpg..

<seanshawn> shotgun is almost instant...
<Nvass> george:what engine will it have ?? PREY ENGINE?? hehe :)
<seanshawn> geroge: back me up.. shotgun rocks.. right ?
<D_Nukem> I see that the Apogee Web site has another Prey page listed on the 
links, and another DR page.  Marc's Prey page and GT's DR site.
*** Remy has quit IRC (Ping timeout for Remy[Cust124.Max20.Atlanta.GA.MS.UU.NET])
<GeorgB3DR> Here's some items we're throwing around for Shadow Warrior...
<AlfredE> sean: true, but I much rather the explosion of blood associated with the 
dev than the puny falling down that comes from a good shotgun blast
<GeorgB3DR> 1) Calltrops (amsll spikes for ground).  You drop them around you and 
people take damage when they walk over them
<CoolGuy> George, When is sw shareware gonna be released?
<CoolGuy> any plans?
<seanshawn> alred: yeh.. but againts a decent player you dont get any kinda 
explosion cos they just get outta teh way :)
<GeorgB3DR> 2) Flash Bomb. You set it off and it blinds nearby opponents for 5 
seconds or so.  Really cool in DeathMatch
<GeorgB3DR> Cool:  Early 1997
* yemp wants to know if there is a webpage that has some good hints and tips for 
multiplayer
<GeorgB3DR> Hi Matt...
<AlfredE> sean: the trick is to play bad players. thats what I do
<GeorgB3DR> Nv:  Maybe, not sure yet...
<seanshawn> alfred: muahhaha
<GeorgB3DR> Sean:  Shotgun is the best
<seanshawn> w00p
<DOLey> the trick is to have a LAN so you can play big fast net games
<seanshawn> george: u know it baby
<MattCake> Shotgun is easily the best weapon
*** Apes (tmitch@i1-144.islandnet.com) has joined #duke3d
<Apes> Hey everyone
<MattCake> Best damage at relative range than any other weap
<DOLey> the Shotgun is cliche at this point, but I agree it still is a cool weapon
<GeorgB3DR> Alfred:  Yup, I'm a rocket launcher guy myself.  Love to see the 
torso's fly.
<AlfredE> now waitaminnut! I was winning the shotgun arguement a second ago
<CoolGuy> George, What happened with the 3drealms.com online bbs?
<MattCake> I ONLY use shotgun
<AlfredE> George: amen, brotha
<pailhead> Ahhh.. shotgun is getting toooo old.. we need something new and 
inspiring :)
<GeorgB3DR> Cool:  too much trouble...When we swicthed sites, the web bbs could no 
longer be
<CoolGuy> George, So u made it a cool website all together?
*** Nvass is now known as N|away
<DOLey> we need a crap shooter so we can shoot the shit
<DOLey> :)
*** Apes (tmitch@i1-144.islandnet.com) has left #duke3d
<GeorgB3DR> Cool:  Pretty much
<DOLey> that would be cool in Death match
<AlfredE> DOL: So they die of revulsion? neat trick!
<GeorgB3DR> Any comments on the proposed Shadow Warrior items?
<CoolGuy> George, Can u add a maps section to download from 3drealms.com for 
duke3d maps, and maps for other gamez in future?
<Remi__> what for playing duke3d by internet
<GeorgB3DR> Cool:  Joe is looking into it now.
<CoolGuy> ok
<D_Nukem> George: On the Dopefish page I noticed that Dopefish was planned to be 
in Duke3D to replace sharks, but sharks were removed from the game.  But they 
are in the game... Why no Dopefish?
<Remi__> what for playing duke3d by internet
<Remi__> anwser me
<MattCake> George - The mine (spikes) idea sounds good, I just did a proximity 
mine patch for Duke tho
<CoolGuy> George, Will SW or Blood have any gas masks or Poison suits?
<GeorgB3DR> Cool:  Shadow Warrior might
<CoolGuy> George, Will Prey have any subway's?
<MattCake> Any chance of some ROTT style DM games - gun tag was especially amusing 
<g>
<GeorgB3DR> Cool:  Dunno yet...
<Remi__> what for playing duke3d by internet
<GeorgB3DR> DN: Got tired of promoting dopefish :)
<DOLey> Remi looks like only with Kali
<AlfredE> George: you might have answered this before, but it's troubled me: What 
was the plan with the "Organtic" sprite from Duke3d?
<CoolGuy> George, Any plans for even cooler games after prey, or i thinkin too 
ahead into future?
* yemp wants to know if there is a webpage that has some good hints and tips for 
multiplayer
<GeorgB3DR> Cool:  too far, but you can count on cool games :)

<MattCake> Get a quicker pooter <g>
<Yogii> I just got Duke3d today.  Can someone please tell me some codes or cheats?
