Here's the full setup guide to get playing with us. It's important that all versions match, so follow this precisely.
Make sure you have the .grp from Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition 1.5. Any other version will not work.
Then get eDuke32 from http://www.eduke32.com/downloads
Specifically, http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/eduke32/eduke32-1.4.0_beta_2.exe
Install to a directory without spaces, and with less than 8 characters (game dir and parent dirs). Use C:\Games\eDuke32 for example.
Run the Setup, try the different graphics modes until you get one that runs well. I can only run 8bpp for some reason, but it looks fine anyway.
Make sure to set your binds ingame before you jump into a multi game.
Now, get Dukonnector from http://duke3d.vachu.com/files.html
Specifically, http://duke3d.vachu.com/dukon0.8.1.zip
It needs the .Net Framework 2.0, so make sure you install that first, or 3.0 through Microsoft Update.
Now, drop the two Dukonnector files in your Duke game directory, and run Dukonnector.exe from there. This will automatically setup all the variables for loading Duke and make things much more fail-proof.
Connect to the Master Server without registering if you're lazy, register if you aren't.
Now go to Settings, change your Nick Name. Next, go to connection, and test your ports. If they fail, mess around with any software or hardware firewalls and get your ports forwarded.
Once all that's set, join us in one of the more obvious rooms, and click Check with Host to be sure your .grp and eDuke .exe match.
If so, everything should work.
Hopefully once we get everyone sorted we can have regular free for alls.
