ALIEN WORLD ORDER EXTRACTION SCRIPT
FOR DUKE NUKEM 3D: WORLD TOUR
By NightFright
=====================================
Version: 1.54 / Oct 26, 2023
================================================================================================
A B O U T
================================================================================================
This script allows you to play the new episode from "Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour"
with Raze and duke3d.grp from the Atomic Edition (or World Tour). You will end up with a
standalone version of the game (in the form of an addon) which works without requiring the
Steam installation of "World Tour".
Features:
---------
> "Alien World Order" maps
> World Tour CONs, including the Firefly enemy, Incinerator boss and new minibosses
> 8-bit parallax skies + skyboxes (ep.5 only)
> Lee Jackson's OGG music (ep.5 only)
> New Duke voice acting (ep.5 only)
> Not included: Maps/music/Duketalk for ep.1-4, ep.1-4 skyboxes, dev commentaries, normalmaps
================================================================================================
R E Q U I R E M E N T S
================================================================================================
> Windows Vista or newer (to be able to use robocopy command)
> Existing Steam installation of "Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour"
> Raze v1.0.2 (or newer)

1) Unpack this zipfile (worldorder_raze.zip) into your Raze installation folder, then
launch worldorder.bat.
2) Choose your Steam (source) and Raze (target) directories. You can either enter the paths
manually or use defaults (Steam: reads registry, Raze: current dir) by pressing "Enter".
3) You will be given two [Y]es/[N]o choices now:
a) Choose whether you want to copy over duke3d.grp from World Tour and convert it to
Atomic Edition (recommended if you don't own Atomic Edition). There might be a UAC
popup during this process which you need to confirm.
In case you have duke3d.grp from Atomic, be sure to copy it to the "data" subdir.
b) Choose whether you want to patch the original "Prima Arena" map (E5L8) to make
some sections accessible which were cut from the original release. There might be
a UAC popup during this process which you need to confirm.
The original map will be saved as E5L8B.map in case you want to revert manually later.
4) You can (and should) uninstall World Tour on Steam at this point. Also the script
file itself (worldorder.bat) is no longer needed.
5) Launch Raze (raze.exe). In the selection menu, choose "Alien World Order (worldorder)".
