What is "Duke CTF conversion" ? 2. Installation / Starting a new game 3. Gamplay changes 4. Level descriptions 5. Credits 6. Filenames 7. Other stuff ========================================= 1. WHAT IS "Duke CTF" ? ========================================= For a long time hardcore Dukers have been begging for a capture the flag style conversion for Duke Nukem 3d, the duke tag level in version 1.4 was a capture the flag style game but it was too difficult for most level builders to create levels for it due to the complexity of the gameplay. Many times attempts have been made to create a worthy CTF conversion yet all have failed, up until now. Duke CTF features: * Fast and exciting gameplay. * Teamplay and team colours. * Dukematch backwards compatability. * Four CTF enhanced levels plus two never seen before CTF levels. * Online support. * Level creating faq. * Weapons remain unchanged for original badass fragging. ===================================== 2. INSTALLATION / STARTING A NEW GAME ===================================== 1) Copy the file Dukectf.zip to your \Duke3d directory 2) Unzip the file Dukectf.zip 3) Run Dukectf.bat 4) After you have installed the conversion,'SETUP' to play dukematch CTF. All players must have Duke CTF installed in order to play the game. NOTE : All levels in version 1 are in episode 2 however they will not work in single player 7) After some intense CTF play mail me at Mighty7@hotmail.com to tell me what you think. Also feel free to build some levels and send them to me so I can put them on the site ( please DO NOT change any con hacks or artwork ). ======================== 4. GAMEPLAY DESCRIPTION ======================== There are a few changes made to the normal gameplay of Duke; === CTF === The boots in the inventory are replaced by a blue flag and the steroids are replaced by the red flag. Players of either team ( blue or red ) can pick up either flag but they can also drop it. To drop the blue flag use weapon 1 ( kick ) this automatically drops the flag. To drop the red flag you must press 'R' on the keyboard. When a player has a flag you can instantly know by looking as a marker appears just above their head. A blue marker (like a mini flag) a player with the blue flag. Red marker for a player with the red flag and both markers for a player with both flags. If a player is killed he/she will automatically drop any flags he/she is carrying. Also when a player is frozen by the freeze thrower he/she will drop the flags he/she was carrying. Once a flag is dropped it will be transparent for about 1 second, during this time it is not possible to collect the flag. After that it will become fully visible and it will then be possible to collect the flag again. When you have a flag you must return to your base and hit the spacebar( or the door opening key ) when you are in front of the black screen. This will take away the flag and a sound will be heard all over the map ( Duke saying game over and a crowd cheering ) indicating that one team has won. ======== Teamplay ======== This can be used in both normal deathmatches and CTF games. It is pretty simple, just hold the duck key usually 'Z' and tap the spacebar ( or the door opening key ). This changes the color of the pants that your player is wearing. This distinguishes which team you are on but unfortunately must be done every time your player is respawned. NOTE: The spacebar must be tapped or the color will flicker and you may not get it changed to the right color. ======================= 4. LEVELS ( EPISODE 2 ) ======================= 1.

Pick up the other team's flag and drop it down some huge pit. Always remember, other players know when you have a flag. Don't try and drop a flag when shrunk, it will squish you. Exchange flags with other players on your team, give them to a good one to hold for a while. Decide teams on chat beforehand to avoid confusion. Go to my website.
