This mod aims to bring the duke nukem 3d universe to the doom engine, with enhancements taking inspiration/resources from mods like Dukeplus and others. Based on the mod "Duke Nukem 3D Weapons & Aliens v6" from Don Ramon.
Main features:
Main DN3D enemies (including firefly, boss sentrys, king cobra, etc).
All DN3D weapons, plus manual reloading, double pistols, double barrel shotgun, secondary fires for the freezethrower and incinerator, and other tweaks & special effects to the weapons in general.
New weapon: Lameduke's Plasma Cannon (including secondary fire)
DN3D inventory items (including automatic boots and working scuba gear if the map has water).
Dukeplus like gore, knockback, portable medkit, effects, etc.
Headshots (can be disabled).
Extra gore effects (can be disabled).
Dukebots instead of Holoduke (can be toggled), and the holoduke actually distracts monsters.
DN3D like monster movement (they can move faster if further away and can also move backwards at close range).
Compatible with PixelWAD's DN3D texture replacement mod (link below in recommended mods).
Version 1.06 released (credits and full changelog inside the mod). Update 2020.10.07: quick fix update to solve a crash. Update 2020.10.17: quick fix update to solve huge lag on slaughter maps. Update 2020.10.26: quick fix update to solve another crash. Download (Moddb)
Cool video by Mr. Icarus showcasing the mod. It's from an older version though, most of the issues mentioned are resolved, plus there's tons of new stuff.

FAQ:
Spoiler:
Why not use Don Ramon's v10 mod as a base? Because while v10 is awesome, it felt like a different fork to the duke nukem universe. V6 is very vanilla (to duke nukem 3d) which was perfect for me. I did "borrow" some stuff too from v10 like the double barrel shotgun, some effects/sprites and coding inspiration.
Why not just play regular Duke Nukem 3d? Yes of course, I've already played through the game and it's addons/mods, this just gives me other advantages: - Better engine for coop. - Tons of maps/megawads already made for doom, and even more maps with level generators (like Obaddon). - Plus it was a cool project to learn decorate/zscript (I'm probably breaking many coding rules, though).

1. the place of these little nuclear medicine kits and nuclear pieces of armor you could put pipe bombs and laser tripbombs 2. Duke of sin not completely made texture pack and it needs to be done 3. Local repainted gray armor in blue I do not really like; I prefer the option option from Don Ramon's
Incredible! That was the thing I was looking for! Also I tried DonRamon's version, but it differs from classic game too much and I prefer "old" Duke voice instead of "updated" one. Not to mention Duke talks in Ramon's mod too often.
Your version sticks to classic and is way more balanced. Do you plan to add Duke's jumping sprites and some extra things like pink/purple/green screen effects? https://eduke32.com/images/shots/duke3d_3.jpg
Sorry for my bad English.

I have seen a Duke Nukem mod for Doom, like with the weapons, items, one liners, stuff like that all in the mod. Not sure if it is still updated though
In my previous post I mentioned that this mod lacks jumping sprites and special screen effects but completely forgot to mention several things: MrRamon's version has unique startup. Can you add animated stuff like this?
I did not know about the other versions, I assumed there were because the leap from 6 to 10 is kinda big, but I just supposed it wasn't public or something. About the 3d gore, it was like that in a previous dukeplus version, which I kinda liked. I guess I can add a toggle or something.

I understand I am asking too much. I just want to clarify some things.
Don't worry, I'm open for suggestions. - Jumpíng sprites: I don't know if the engine supports it. I know you can specify crouching sprites, I'll have to check that out. I don't recall seeing different sprites for jumping in duke3d's grp, but I probably just missed them. - Pink/purple/green screen effect: Help me out here, in which cases does it change colors? - Animated intro: sure I can look into that if it can be done and is similar to duke's intro and intermission screen. But don ramon's intro with the bar is specific to his mod and don't think I'll be using that one.

1. The problem with that approach is that there'll be lots of pipe boms and tripbombs, and it'll break balance because in doom's engine you kind of need that extra help with health and armor. 2. There's some textures which are not replaced or could be improved, I'll rather wait some more for the original author to finish it, before diving into that. 3. I had to make it blue to differentiate it from the heavy armor, since duke 3d only has one kind of armor, but it would break balance that way.
You can disable headshot system. Maybe that's the case. I am really happy now that enemies are no longer annoying hitscanners because you cannot escape enemy AI prediction appart from the hit/miss ratio generated by the enemy.

i think all enemies are bullet sponges from the original game .. but this is too low ... is there a way to find a midle ground?
I've tested with how many shotgun shots the enemies die in duke and they are kinda similar (also the health values are based on the duke wiki). What you may be experiencing is some of your bullets are hitting the head hitboxes, which deal extra damage and they die faster. You can try turning off the headshots (in options) to see if it improves.

1. Doing more under the atmosphere of the Duke Nukem 3D 2. There are no questions for this answer. 3. It seems to me that the place of blue could be made by a brighter gray
the original duke nukem 3d monsters were too bullet spongey .... this mod is way better HOWEVER can you try to balance it again because they die far too easy... i dont want them to be as hard an spongey as original duke nukem 3d but somewhere in the middle , my biggest issue is with the pig cops
also are the enemy sprites a bit smaller then usual?
