Ive been away from duke3d for a fair few years, especially after getting a winXP system. I was stunned to find out recently about the release of the source code and the new ports. I've downloaded jfduke and jfbuild as they seem to be most reccomended. Im very happy :D its great to be able to play duke again, and the new features like the 3d pig cop are very cool. But, i have encountered some problems which are frustrating me. Trawling through docs and forum searches has turned up nothing yet. I can only hope somebody here will have mercy and help me out :( ...
Firstly, I noticed in jf build that trying to copy sectors between maps (alt-highlighting sector then loading next map) causes it to crash. Is this a common problem, and any way around this?
Also, although i have custom graphics working in-game (using .def file), it would be very useful to see them in build itself (editart has never worked for me). Is it possible to see custom artwork in jf build (something i can change in the cfg file)? if not then is there any other version of build out there that allows this?
With no idea of the history of the jfduke and other projects, and generally being a noob, im a bit bewildered and lost. Id be very grateful if anyone could help me out with my problems above^^^ :cry:
In any case, as a duke3d player since the old days (not that im any good at multiplayer :lol: ) i just think its so cool theres still a community that is making new progress 8) . Id be another one to agree that fancy graphics is one thing, but style is better, and duke is one of those games that has yet to be surpassed IMO.
Thanks for any help...

Heh.

Common problem. Unknown cause.
Also, although i have custom graphics working in-game (using .def file), it would be very useful to see them in build itself (editart has never worked for me).

Change the bpp to 16 or 32. You really should have chosen the proper display mode on first startup when it asked you, but oh well...
