[quote name='Blackout']I'm a PC noob. How do you install the High Res mod for the GOG download?[/QUOTE]
I just did it and it was a little confusing reading about how to do it but it is actually simple:
Install the game from GOG, it will end up in a folder called
Duke Nukem 3D
Download eduke32 from
here, and extract the files into a folder named
eduke32_latest
Go to the game installation folder (the one from GOG named
Duke Nukem 3D) and copy/paste
TWO files: the file "DUKE.RTS" and the file "DUKE" (the "DUKE" file is about 43MB and is likely labeled a "Microsoft Program Group" type of file) into the folder
eduke32_latest
Download the high res pack from
here , it is a big file (about 708MB). When you open it, it will extract its contents into a folder named
Duke3D
Open the high res pack folder
Duke3D, and move the folder named
autoload into the folder
eduke32_latest
That's it!
To play, open the file called eduke32 (it has a blue nuclear symbol, and you can find it in the
eduke32_latest folder or a shortcut to it is on your desktop).
Do NOT use the Duke Nukem 3D shortcut created by the GOG installation.
Once the eduke32 program is running, you can change your resolution, check the box that says Polymer, and
make sure you check the box that says Enable "autoload" folder, and also select "autoload" from the drop down box under Custom game content directory.
Now you have mouse control and fancy graphics!
