Here are some instructions regarding how to get as many Build games working properly with Raze as possible.
PREPARATIONS:
In your Raze folder, create the following subdirectories (names can be different, but these fit best IMO):
- blood (this is where Blood and its associated files will go)
- data (for all other games)
CD MUSIC:
Download the following zipfiles and extract them into the designated Raze subdirs.
- Blood: blood_music.zip (92 MB) --> "blood"
- Exhumed: exhumed_music.zip (75 MB) --> "data"
- Redneck Rampage/Route 66: redneck_music.zip (59 MB) --> "data"
- Redneck Rampage: Rides Again: rides_music.zip (36 MB) --> "data"
- Shadow Warrior: shadow_music.zip (65 MB) --> "data"
Blood:
- Copy all Blood files ("movies" subdir, blood.ini, *.rff, *.art, *.dat) into "blood"
- Intro movies (optional): Move gti.smk and logo.smk from "blood/movies" to "blood"
- CD music (optional): "CD Emulation" in sound settings must be turned on (game restart required)
- Cryptic Passage: Zip all files (movies/cryptic.smk, movies/cryptic.wav, cp*.map, cpart07.ar_, cpart15.ar_, cryptic.ini) to cryptic.zip and place it in "blood"
- Death Wish: Zip all relevant mod files (movies dir, deathwish.ini, dw*.map) to deathwish.zip and drag it onto raze.exe, with Blood selected as main game
Duke Nukem 3D:
- Atomic: Copy duke3d.grp into "data"
- World Tour: Existing Steam installation will be automatically detected. Otherwise copy the entire folder named "Duke Nukem 3D Twentieth Anniversary World Tour" from steamapps/common within your Steam installation dir to your Raze folder (you may rename it afterwards to e.g. "worldtour" and delete a few files if you like). Another option would be to turn the WT episode into a standalone mod
- Addons: Copy dukedc.grp, nwinter.grp, vacation.grp into "data"
- Duke It Out In D.C. Music Pack v2.0 (optional): Load dukedc_midi.pk3 (attached to this post) while playing the addon (can also be autoloaded via ini).
- Duke!Zone II: Download fixed release (v2.04 or newer), then copy dukezone2.grp + EITHER dukezone2.grpinfo (Atomic) OR dukezone2_wt.grpinfo (World Tour) into "data". Addon will appear at the bottom of Raze selection menu on startup. When using original release, copy duke!zon.grp, dz-game.con, dz-user.con and dz-defs.con into "data".
Exhumed:
Copy book.mov, demo.vcr and stuff.dat into "data"
NAM:
Copy nam.con and nam.grp into "data"
Redneck Rampage:
- Copy redneck.grp into "data"
- Route 66: Zip all relevant files to route66.zip (see details here) and place it in the same subdir
- Rides Again: Rename redneck.grp to rides.grp, then copy rides.grp and redint.mve into the same subdir
Shadow Warrior:
- Copy sw.grp into "data"
- Addons: Also copy td.grp/twindrag.grp and wt.grp/wantdest.grp into that subdir
WW2 GI:
- Copy ww2gi.con and ww2gi.grp into "data"
- Platoon Leader: Also copy platoonl.dat and platoonl.def into that subdir
