GTA2 source code click here to sign the partition!
There is allot of ways to play this game online!
So lets get started.
The xDuke way is recommended by me since it feels smooth and fps is fast and much to the original gameplay.
http://vision.gel.ulaval.ca/~klein/duke3d/
Download xDuke from that site or click here to download.
You need the game discs so you can copy the duke3d.grp file to were you extracted xDuke.
The GRP file contains all the data sound, characters. You need at least one version of the GRP file mostly all use Atomic 1.5.
You can also download the shareware GRP file but I would definately use the full version Atomic 1.5.
Controls can be set up inside the game menu.
Then all you need to find players to play and join games is Dukesterx and you can download it below,
DukesterX-Full.zip
The 2 following ports should be open on your router as below
8501 (dukesterx) and 23513 (duke nukem). And should not be closed.
Click on the 2 links below to check your port status
https://www.grc.com/x/portprobe=8501
https://www.grc.com/x/portprobe=23513
For example host your game room on port 8501 then check if port says open on links above.
And soon you will be able to play on
X-Jet Gaming Network - To be announced
The X-Jet Gaming Network is in progress project.
It's being programmed in C# and the aim is to make it like Kali with a lobby system for each game that brings community together with a load of other features.
The Dukesterx application was designed to setup Duke Nukem 3D
multiplayer games with ease. It allows players to
connect to a host, then each will have the ability to play Duke Matches or Co-op play on the Duke Nukem Win32 ports
by Rancidmeat and JonoF for multiplayer or single player games. The application has been designed to have the look and feel of Online Gaming
Technologies Internet Commit application (IC), now will work with Windows XP!
, please make sure that your Duke Nukem port is set up properly on your system. This application will not alter any Duke Nukem settings.
For setting up xDuke in this you set up xDuke path in the Rancidmeat path.
You may also want to check Find on each use
Also you might want this also after you have installed Dukesterx you can install this
DukesterX.Hacked.Self_Extract.exe
Description
DUKESTERX , hacked edition.
***Recommended***
Once DukesterX is installed PLEASE CREATE a file called "null.txt" in your xDuke directory. You can create it with the Note Pad for instance. Write the text you want in it. This file will be checked by DukesterX, instead of checking the damn con files. Con files are **NOT** needed and should be deleted from xDuke directory. If not deleted, xDuke will use them instead of using the GRP internal con files. This often lead to Out of Synch issues. Please note this version is 100% compliant with the official DukesterX. Enjoy your network games! This version was hacked to support xDuke, the most played port for online games.
Once you have it installed then you can certainly check it out in single player and set your configuration keys inside the game!
If you need help on how to open ports you could find out how by finding your hardware here but note that you need to open differant port numbers as this is for GTA 2.
If you have problems with multiplayer check the DukesterX’s Forums support page on how to play netgames.
You may need to configure your firewall to forward some ports.

xDuke Game Protector v0.3
By Mack and Replica |
xDuke Game Protector v0.3 by Mack and Replica
xDuke Game Protector has the best anticheat system ever made for xDuke, well at least I like to think so!
This is not the games network we are working on this is a mini xDuke launcher.
In a first attempt to ever make xDuke a more secure place is not an easy task.
It is designed for use with max 2 players, more might be supported in updates.
It is used mainly for 1 vs 1 Dukematch games only at the moment.
It protects anyone from the coop hack K mode in a Dukematch game and can disable other cheats from working while playing such as some brightners but limited not many brighters will be disabled in this version we mostly concentrated on coop view.
It doesn't modify any files but it does crc check your xDuke exe and replace it if it fails the check with original xDuke exe and creates its own cfg.txt like what Dukesterx does to use with the xDuke.
Anyone that even trys to use coop view in the game it will stop and you will be alerted even if not a Dukematch game so I recommend only using this for Dukematch games!
There may be other detections for other known cheats but that's to come with further updates and mostly concentrating on the worst cheats that people mostly complain about.
Brighters are not completely disabled in this version but at least there will be a way to disable it per game if I decide to implement it in future versions such as defaultvisability is easy to disable.
Current detections
Coop view - stops people from seeing you in a Dukematch game *Alerts*
Common brightner modifications are disabled so they won't work in game *No alert*
Other features
Ready button, game cannot be launched untill the other player is ready!
More
Cheaters will stay well away from this and may make excuses not to use it at all costs!
2 players willing to use this to play each other can prove that they are not using K.
Or even just for a safer gameplay not worrying as much when playing someone that you don't trust as much or just want to see if they can play as good as they have before what ever reasons.
*Use for a safer 1 vs 1 game experience*
No guarantees that xDuke will ever be a cheat free zone but I am working hard on this project with Mack for a more secure way to play xDuke than ever before.
However this is working good and we test it allot and continue to update it as best as we can when we have time.
The 2 following ports should be open on your router as below
8501 default (Game launcher) and 23513 (duke nukem). And should not be closed.

| xDuke Demo Loader (Beta) by Poda |
The xDuke Demo Loader makes watching demos easy. Just double-click and you're off. This will work on 1.5 DOS demos, 1.3D xDuke demos, and 1.5 xDuke demos. It assumes you have both the standard 1.3D grp and the standard 1.5 grp.

| xDuke 19.7.1 Demo Recorder v1.0 Beta 2 by Replica |
This records your game in xDuke 19.7.1. Still in Beta testing and you can indeed download and try it out made by me!
I'll be releasing Beta 3 soon or final 1.0.
|
|
|
Checks if a demo is for DOS Duke3D 1.3D, DOS Duke3D 1.5, or xDuke. |
|
| xDuke 19.7.1 binary only |
A free Duke Nukem 3D port for Win32 and more. Main site |
|
|
This can repair demos that don't play. As sometimes if your game crashes like into a wall this sometimes will fix this for you.
A program I made a long time ago that will only fix demo if it doesn't start up when the time has not been written and is 0 seconds playtime this will fix that prob |
|
|
This tool can remove cameras on any of your maps you play.
Now you can play demos back on your own maps that you recorded without these annoying zoom out camera views just like the No-Cam maps can. |
|
|
This will remove all the echos from a specified map. This is useful
for avoiding crashing bugs on certain sound cards in stages like L.A. Rumble
and Red Light District. It basically replaces the music effectors with a lotag
>= 1000 with a blank sprite this problem was only in the dos version of Duke. |
|
|
This tool can check a map to see if it is for Duke3d Atomic. |
|
|
This can record demos for Kali.
Now you can watch back your favourite games.
*Note* this is only for Kali.
This can make recording easier when you are host or join a game. Quite handy for tournaments. |
|
| New crosshairs |
You can now add your own crosshairs if you are tired of that boring crosshair for Duke.
This will work in multiplayer as well if you want to change the look of your crosshair. |

Duke Nukem 3D Dos Demos
DEMOS 1.3D DOS
To play these demos they won't work on Xduke as Xduke only works with 1.5 Atomic demos, extract files into your duke folder and overwrite
demo1.dmo file.
After it plays demo1.dmo it goes onto demo2.dmo.
And then just run duke3d and instead of it playing the normal demo
it is replaced. Press esc and watch and to switch between players press your
coop view button.
00000800: Cyberia vs. c-eAGLE, 13.03.2000,
E1L1 (18:11, c-eAGLE won)
c-eAGLE comments
In past Cyberia was one of the most feared opponents in Hollywood Holocaust,
his homemap. Even in March 2000, when he didn´t train duke as much as
before, he killed me 13 times while I killed him 19 times. Just the first
frag of mine was a somehow too fast...
I should also note that it is worth watching these demos since there of good players and even though you think you know how they play you just won't allways understand if you havn't been in the game yourself playing these players! There is not many good players left that still play today
like those players, examples are of Dorkz~Hollywood I ever only got to play
him 3 times in old days when internet was very expensive and modem games were
too.
FDF clan was the best german duker clan in the world at the time, So these players are
the big ones that I am talking about here and today I still havn't seen any
players that play like them!

No cam maps for all registered levels.
You won't need nocam maps for xDuke as it's not required.
***Note*** that if you accidently play GRP for example 1.5 with 1.3d no cam maps your game will go out of sync and you just need to replace it with 1.5 no cam maps or remove these maps when playing multiplayer though there is no need to as long as you have the right versions for your GRP you are using.
nocams for 1.3d
nocams for 1.5
Copying these maps to your original duke3d directory will get rid of these
annoying cams when you play back a demo it won't zoom out when there is a
camera.
And you can still play multiplayer games as normal.
Other ways to play this game multiplayer *Not allways simple ways*
Windows 9*
Kali (Games
network) People sometimes can play Dos Duke on XP here latest reports and I have
got it to work but not that smooth on XP however due to new technology and operating systems it is becomming even harder every day. Your best bet is if you can install Windows 98 SE I recommend then go play Poda there
Ic (Internet Commit Driver) - You might have problems with this as it's old.
Kahn 1.3 - Not sure if this even works well anymore.
Zonelan (Free games place) Duke seems to be not playable here anymore as I am aware of.
Total Entertainment Network was also shutdown along time ago.
Windows XP etc
Rancidmeat (W32 Duke)
xDuke the easiest way to play and closest to original Duke http://www.gel.ulaval.ca/~klein/duke3d/
Dukesterx (Multiplayer config tool) Site - Recommended to use with xDuke can also be used with Jonof.
JonoF's Duke Nukem
