- ==================================================================
- Title :The State Prison - T.S.P. for v1.4
- Author :Risto Uibo 15 yo. From Estonia.
- E-mail :espadon@torn.eol.ee
- Web Page :Not yet
-
- Description : Well, aliens came for a revenge and threw Duke into State Prison,
- he has to get outta there. JUST READ ABOUT IT WHEN YOU RUN ESCAPE.BAT
- IF THIS FILE, FOR SOME REASON, SHOULD CORRUPT YOUR DUKE NUKEM 3D,
- THEN I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT. I MADE THIS LEVEL TOTALLY SAFE
- AND IF IT SCREWS UP, THEN YOU HAVEN'T USED THE BATCH FILE CORRECTLY.
- DO NOT CLOSE THE WINDOW MANUALLY AFTER THE GAME, IF YOU DO SO, THE
- OLD FILES MAY NOT BE RESTORED AND YOU MAY NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO.
- *** If this happens, just try to run the game with the batch file
- again, and then after you exit the game, wait until the program
- closes the window automatically. ******
-
-
- Additional Credits to: Lot of people, thanks to who I learned interesting stuff about Build.
- Without them I probably wouldn't still know that Build has to be in
- Duke directory to work properly!! But special thanks to 3DRealms, who
- made this great game and to Ken Silverman for Build Editor.
-
- What you should of gotten with Escape.zip : Escape.map (the level)
- Escape.txt (this file)
- Escape.bat (the batch file)
- Tsphints.txt (a help file)
- User.esc (the replacement file)
- Prev021b.pcx ("Mission" preview)
- ======================================================================
- * Play information *
- Episode and level :Escape.map replaces Hollywood Holocaust (you know, E1L1).
- It's my first Duke level.
- Single player :Of course!! Duke works alone.
- Dukematch/Co-op :Nah, didn't have the time. I had to finish this map quickly
- (Read below, why). Sorry, Dukematchers!!
- Difficulty Settings :Yeah!! That's one thing that makes the playing interesting.
- You can try your skills on four different difficulties.
-
- ======================================================================
- * Construction *
-
- Base :I don't like modifying other maps, it's a new level from scratch
- Editors used :Build only
- known bugs :There shouldn't be any, but if you notice something, mail me.
- New sounds :No
- New graphics :No
- New music :Nope
- New anything :Well, a new level.. The Escape and user.con
-
- Where to get this .map file: Well, congratulations, I think you have it!!
- =========================================================================
- Other: Start with Escape.bat only!!!
- You may make some changes to the map, modify it,
- modify the user.esc file if you wish, but you may not
- upload this zipfile as your own made.
-
- Comments:
-
- I didn't make it a Multiplayer level, because I came up with a new idea for
- Duke and I had to finish this fast. I'm working on this idea right now, it'll be
- a new episode and more..
- This is a pretty hard map, actually it depends on your skill level.
- I recently discovered something new. Did anybody of you knew that items can
- be skill-leveled, too? The same way as for enemies- with lotags! I used this
- on my map.
- **** I STRONGLY RECCOMMEND YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT TSPHINTS.TXT, BUT NOT BEFORE YOUR
- FIRST TRY TO GET THROUGH THIS LEVEL. DON'T USE CHEAT CODES, PLAY FAIR. ****
- By the way, my programming skills are not so good, so the game will run even
- then when you don't have user.esc, then without changes. If you really don't
- have user.esc, please try to get it somewhere.
- *** THIS VERSION DOES NOT WORK WITH THE v1.3 of DUKE.
- A VERSION FOR THE v1.3 IS ALSO AVAILABLE, IT'S
- NAMED TSP13v13.zip. THE FIRST TWO NUMBERS OF THE
- FILE ARE THE ZIPFILE'S VERSION NUMBERS, LIKE THIS
- VERSION IS 1.3 AND THE v13 SHOWS WHAT VERSION OF THE
- GAME IS THE FILE FOR. THIS IS FOR THE ATOMIC EDITION
- FOR DUKE ( v1.4) SO THIS FILE IS NAMED TSP13v14.zip.
- HOWEVER, I DON' T GUARANTEE THAT THIS VERSION WILL
- WORK WITH THE 1.5, I ONLY ASSUME THAT. IT' S BECAUSE
- I HAVE v1.4 AND I DON'T KNOW HOW IT WILL WORK WITH
- THE LATEST VERSION. ******
-
- **** GUYS WHO HAVE v1.5 OF DUKE NUKEM 3D, GIVE ME A MAIL
- AND LET ME KNOW, HOW THE MAP WORKS ON THE VERSION. *****

- THE USER LEVEL SEQUEL FOR DUKE NUKEM 3D:
- " DUKE NUKEM RETURNS - FULL NUCLEAR PACK "
-
- DUKE HAS NUKED THE QUEEN - BABY, AND WELL, NOW HE'S READY FOR
- A LONG REST IN LAS VEGAS...
- "WELL I HOPE THAT NO FREAKIN' ALIEN SPECIES WON'T ATTACK EATRH
- ANYMORE, AT LEAST NOT IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, COZ I WANT TO HAVE
- A GOOD REST. NO MORE ALIENS!"
-
- THAT'S WHAT DUKE THINKS......
-
- TOO BAD, BUT THREE DAYS AFTER DUKE'S RECENT DEFEAT AND DUKE'S
- ESCAPE FROM THE ALIEN PRISON ON EARTH, THE IMPROPABLE MISSION FACILITY,
- WHICH HAS BEEN QUICKLY RESTORED, CALLS DUKE AGAIN.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------
- " WHAT'S UP?" ASKED DUKE, WHEN HE WALKED INTO THE IMF HEADQUARTERS.
- " DUKE, WE SEEM TO HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM..." STARTED THE CHIEF OF IMF.
- " NO THANKS.. I HAD ENOUGH." SAID DUKE RIGHT AWAY." NOW I'M GOING TO
- LAS VEGAS, FEELS LIKE GAMBLING..."
- " LISTEN, DUKE. THIS IS SERIOUS.." SAID THE CHIEF AND ASKED DUKE TO
- HAVE A SEAT.
- " IT'S SERIOUS? I'M SURE IT IS...." THINKS DUKE AND ASKS:" WELL,
- WHAT IS IT THEN? "
- " TODAY AT NIGHT, 3:41 AM, WE GOT A CALL FROM FLORIDA.. IT WAS A
- STRANGE VOICE ON THE PHONE, WE'RE NOT SURE IF IT WAS HUMAN'S. HE
- SAID THAT THEY HAVE TAKEN OVER THE ENTIRE FLORIDA STATE AND HE WANTS
- REVENGE... YOU DESTROYED THE ARMY SENT TO EARTH HERE, BUT NOW WE'RE
- UP AGAINST THE ARMY OF THE ALIEN HOMEWORLD.. THEY WANT TO GET YOU,
- DUKE, I'M SORRY, BUT WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO SEND YOU THERE. YOU
- ARE THE ONLY EXPERT IN THE WORLD, WHO IS TRAINED FOR FIGHTING AGAINST
- ALIEN ATTACK FORCES."
- " DAMN, I HATE WHEN THIS HAPPENS!! WHY CAN'T THOSE ALIENS HAVE A
- BREAK FOR A MONTH OR TWO?" DUKE SHAKES HIS HEAD. "IDIOTS....!!......
- ALRIGHT.. WHAT ABOUT SUPPLIES?"
- " SORRY, DUKE, BUT THE LABORATORY HAS JUST BEGUN TO WORK ON NEW
- WEAPONS AND THIS IS NOT READY UNTIL SOMETIMES NEXT MONTH..."
- " WHAT ELSE.... OKAY, I GUESS I JUST GOTTA BELIEVE IN MY GOOD OLD
- RPG AND DEVASTATOR BABY..."
- AND DUKE WENT TO FLORIDA.... BUT WHEN HE GOT THERE, IT SEEMED THAT
- THE L.A WAS ALREADY UNDER THE ALIEN CONTROL, ALSO NEW YORK AND A FEW
- MORE BIGGER CITIES...
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- THAT'S THE START OF DUKE'S NEXT PARTY IN FLORIDA....
-
- So watch for the "Duke Nukem Returns" mission and check
- out these previews I've added. Featuring the Troopers
- assault army boss and the Super Pigcop Tank. These are
- only a little part of the new action, what will come in
- DNR. In October or November, 1997, I will release a preview
- edition of DNR, so all you cool Duke fans out there
- can enjoy the taste of what will come in DUKE NUKEM
- RETURNS: FULL NUCLEAR PACK. Right now I am working
- on the .con files and adding art. The preview edition
- will be fro split files, and also one single file. The
- size of the unzipped files altogether will approximately
- be 3 or 4 MB, maybe more. But the full pack of DNR will
- be at least twice as bigger.
- -------------------------------------------------------
- ANYBODY, WHO KNOWS .CON HACKING, OR KNOWS HOW TO USE BUILD
- EDITOR OR EDITART AND IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN MY PROJECT,
- I COULD USE SOME HELP, SO THAT DNR WILL BE READY FASTER.
- MAIL ME AND TELL ME ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP ME.
- --------------------------------------------------------
- PLEASE, NO BULLSHIT! TAKE THIS THING SERIOUSLY!
- ---------------------------------------------------------
- MY QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE TO ALL OF YOU:
-
- If you want to answer to my questions, mail me, because
- there really are a few things I would like to find out,
- coz there are some things in the game that I can't figu-
- re out.
-
- 1.How to make totally new tiles for Duke Nukem 3D? I have
- the Ken Silverman's art format text file, but I don't get
- it. What do I have to do? Make a special program for that,
- or something?
-
- 2.The Editart is definetly not a good editor for Duke. When
- I try to import a tile from some .pcx, then sometimes the
- tile gets all mixed up and gets really ugly. What should
- I do????
-
- 3.How to define the palettes for my own art? Like how to
- define what kind of color will be changed when I change
- the palette number? I would like that, but I can't figure
- out, how...
-
- 4.What's wrong with the sound stuff in Duke? In one file,
- there is said that Duke may have up to 450 sounds
- and currently there are somewhat 397 slots used, but
- in another file, there is written that Duke may have
- up to 400 sound definitions. WHat does that mean?
-
- No more questions! Just try to answer them, if you can
- and I'll appreciate it. So, wait for the ultimate
- mission - "DUKE NUKEM RETURNS"
