=========================================================================== My English is kinda bad sometimes, especially when I'm tired... =========================================================================== Title : Needle Time (aka St Duke Hospital) Date Finished : July 30th 2005 Author : Alias Conrad Coldwood Website : http://maybe.hautetfort.com (french blog) Email Address : coldwood@caramail.com Story : You're Duke Nukem and you're running through halls and corridors to find buttons to push to... err... unlock things and stuff. So you can reach the exit. Description : It's a simple Hospital-themed map. I tried to make it detailed even if you're mainly running to halls from stairs to lifts to halls and so on. This map is kinda large so you may lose yourself (don't worry, it's not that large anyway). Levels by this Author : Wow... so many, I can't count them (and it's far too so I don't remember). I also made maps for Blood, Shadow Warrior, Quake, Half-Life, Quake3. But I never released any. Additional notes : I haven't build maps for years but I finally decided to make this one because I discovered that there was still a lot of Duke Nukem 3D fans (no really, I thought I was the last fan standing on this planet :) ). It's my first release because I keep thinking I could change or add a few things, then some other and so on… so I easily spend days to adjust a texture… then I realize "ho man, I'd never give my maps away, I would be disappointed later"… gees. Additional Credits to : 3D Realms, Ken Sileverman, JonoF, Monolith, Id Software, Bloc Party and David Bowie (c'mon, you can't spend hours without music, can you?)... Thank you for ready. =========================================================================== * Play Information * Loading : There are a few files to copy in Duke directory: _StDuke.Map -- Map file Tiles0014.Art -- Textures and Sprites Hbeat.Voc -- Hearth Beat sound Game.Con -- Content Nurse code Defs.Con -- Content Nurse reference -- Content HBeat reference User.Con -- Content HBeat code ** NOTICE ** The Con files are DUKE NUKEM 3D ATOMIC EDITION formated so it will not run with DUKE NUKEM 3D original.

If you want to use the JonoF port, then start it as usual and pick up "new game" then "User map" and then, just select "_stduke.map". ** NOTICE ** Load "fakedm.bat" to start the Fake Multiplayer mode of Duke Nukem 3D Atomic (4 players -- 1 human, 3 bots no monsters, DeathMatch mode) Single Player : Yes Cooperative : Yes Deathmatch : Yes (It was fun with Duke Atomic Bots) Difficulty Settings : Yes New Sounds : Yes (Well, one sound : hbeat.voc #398) New Music : No ('hope I'll do it one of these days) New Graphics : Yes (Yes, 50 brand new tiles, no one has been ripped from anywhere) New Demos : No (But if you record a demo, then I would be pleased to receive it) PAR Time : 6:24 (Come Get Some) Best Time : 3:45 (Damn I'm Good -- 50 kills) * Construction * Base : New level from scratch Build Time : One week Editor(s) used : Build (JonoF port) Statistics : 1024/1024 Sectors 7155/8192 Walls 1061/4096 Sprites Known Bugs : If you play with Duke Nukem 3D original, then the mirror in Clooney's office may be a little buggy (if you're watching the hall and the mirror) I could have fixed that, but I reached the maximum of sectors. =========================================================================== * Copyright / Permissions * You may distribute this map, but please, do not distribute modified versions of this level [it include map/arts/voc/txt/con].
