Duke3DHD - HD and Widescreen in DOS Duke3D

Requirements:

• Duke3D (any v1.3 - v1.5)
• A DOS/Win9x machine, DOSBox, or similar DOS emulator

Installation:

1. Download the latest release [here]
2. Extract into your Duke3D directory. Overwrite ART files at your discretion. Your regular DUKE3D.EXE will not be overwritten.
3. Run DUKE3DHD.EXE

Removal: To run Duke3D without HD textures, simply delete/move/rename the ART files and run your regular DUKE3D.EXE

Controls: Press F11 in-game to toggle widescreen.

Resolutions: The following are supported:

• 320x200
• 640x480
• 800x600
• 1024x768 *
• 1280x1024 *

*You need to manually edit ScreenWidth and ScreenHeight in your DUKE3D.CFG to set these.

The widescreen effect is achieved by playing on a widescreen monitor and letting it stretch the signal to fill the screen.

For advanced users: you can customize the widescreen ratio by manually modifying Widescreen and WidescreenMenus in your DUKE3D.CFG, where the value is calculated using (height / width) * (320 / 0.75). Set both values to 1 to revert to the default width:height ratio of 16:9.

HD textures

All but one of the upscaled tiles come from Phredreeke's Enhanced Resource Pack.

See the README in tiles/ for more information and technical details.
