Explore Duke Nukem 3D USER.CON parameters to modify swearing, camera destructibility, health, ammo, and more.
Walkthrough
- 1SWEARFREQUENCY (032): Adjust this value to control how often Duke swears. Lower it to reduce swearing.
- 2CAMERADESTRUCTABLE (034): Set to 'yes' to enable the destruction of in-game cameras. Destroyed cameras cause monitors to display static, offering a strategic advantage.
- 3FREEZERHURTOWNER (035): Toggles whether you take damage when a freezer burst ricochets off a wall and hits you.
- 4MAXPLAYERHEALTH (037): Changes Duke's maximum health.
- 5MAXPLAYERATOMICHEALTH (049): Determines the health bonus limit from atomic health pickups before health stops increasing.
- 6STARTARMORHEALTH (051): Sets the amount of armor Duke starts with (defaults to 0).
- 7FROZENQUICKKICKDIST (055): Defines the maximum distance from which you can kick a frozen enemy.
- 8Ammo Capacity (059-068): These values set the maximum ammunition you can carry for various weapons, including Pipebombs (HANDBOMB), Expanders (GROW), and Devastators (DEVISTATOR).
- 9TRIPBOMBLASERMODE (069): Customize the visibility of trip mine lasers with four modes: 0 (always visible), 1 (translucent), 2 (invisible without goggles), and 3 (totally invisible).
- 10QSIZE (079): Increase this value to its maximum (1024) on higher-end systems to allow for more objects cluttering levels.
- 11BLIMPRESPAWNTIME (087): Controls the respawn (be brought back to life at a checkpoint after death) rate of the Blimp in the stadium. A smaller value means quicker respawns, allowing for more item drops when combined with QSIZE.
- 12NUMFREEZEBOUNCES (089): Sets how many times the Freezer's burst bounces before dissipating. Increasing this (up to 255) makes the Freezer more effective for traps.
- 13RUNNINGSPEED (092): Modifies Duke's running speed. Increasing it too much can lead to instant death from touching the movement button due to collisions with walls.
- 14GRAVITATIONALCONSTANT (093): Lower this value to jump higher and move slower, simulating lower gravity. Increase it to fall faster.
Tips
- Combine a low BLIMPRESPAWNTIME with a high QSIZE for an abundance of items in the stadium.
- Setting TRIPBOMBLASERMODE to 2 or 3 can make DukeMatches significantly more interesting by making trip mines invisible.
- Be cautious when increasing RUNNINGSPEED, as it can make movement hazardous.
- Lowering GRAVITATIONALCONSTANT can make Duke feel like he's on the moon.
