This was originally conceived in 2003 as an updated
version of StarCraft, basically StarCraft with semi-3D
level constructs, and the ability to "jump" into the
body of a unit and take command. This was developed to
the point of a proof-of-concept Alpha and then abandoned.

Installation:

Extract over an Atomic installation of Duke Nukem 3D.
All that's truly required is probably DUKE3D.GRP.
Run EDUKE32.EXE and change your video mode to the
desired setting, and then simply try one of the test maps:

BGHUNT01.MAP - Basic test map.

Test.map    \___ Same map but with larger amounts of units.
Test002.map /


The key list as it is present in the CFG is as follows:

  8
4 5 6   keypad keys:  Movement

  3     keypad key :  Mapped to USE. Used to SELECT units or MOVE/ATTACK depending on context.
  0     keypad key :  Mapped to JUMP. Used to float up or leave JUMP mode.
  .     keypad key :  Mapped to CROUCH. Used to float down or leave JUMP mode.

  D                :  Mapped to INVENTORY LEFT. Used to DESELECT units.
  M                :  Mapped to USE MEDKIT. Used to MOVE units.
  A                :  Mapped to USE STEROIDS. Used to ATTACK other units.
  J                :  Mapped to INVENTORY RIGHT. Used to JUMP into units.

LEFT MOUSE BUTTON  :  Mapped to FIRE. Used to TOGGLE unit selection or attack in JUMP mode.
RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON :  Mapped to USE. Used to SELECT units or MOVE/ATTACK depending on context.


Holding the RIGHT and LEFT MOUSE BUTTONs will allow you to select units rapidly.
Pressing USE right next to a unit will toggle selection.
M and A are toggle keys.

To JUMP into a unit simply put the cursor over the unit you want to enter and press J.
You may also press J away from any units and then click on the desired unit.
Once you are inside a unit you may run around and shoot enemies.
Press keypad 0 (the jump key) or J to exit JUMP mode.


Anything else is up to you. There may be bugs but
it generally works for its intended purpose.
I apologize for the messiness of the code, as it
will probably make it useless to anyone trying to
learn much from it without a lot of studying.
