Forum thread started by andrea.paiola on Sat, 2010-05-08 16:38

Hi all,
I have R1 Alpha 2 Pre-Release Nightly Image up and running on my Acer Aspire One.

I have downloaded Duke Nukem 3d from haikuware http://haikuware.com/directory/view-details/games/3d/duke-nukem-3d and try to run also in the console but receive this error:

ERROR: Could not initialize group file "duke3d.grp"

help me please, thanks

you need the duke3d.grp file from the original or demo copy of duke nukem added to the folder to make it work.

tried the above link and the game works.

in order to play it needs a duke3d.grp and a duke3d.cfg files, and the .CON files needs to be copied to the game directory from the /testdata directory.

it runs in fullscreen and upon exit it leaves the screen resolution on 1024x768 (minor annoyance).

I have EDuke on Ubuntu ( up and running... ), so I don't have duke3d.cfg, instead I have eduke32.cfg and eduke32_binds.cfg in /home/username/.eduke32/

I have copy the files from /testdata directory in the game dir.

I've try to rename (to duke3d.cfg) and copy (in the game dir) eduke32.cfg... but still doesn't work... same error...

thanks
