I can't play any tc mods by jfduke3d port. I need some help!! :cry:
Eg.: I have the tc mod "incubation" and i put all the files(incubate.con,ingame.con and incubate.grp)into jfduke3d folder.
I run the prompt of DOS and type: C:\JFDUKE3D\duke3d.exe /gincubate.grp /xingame.con The game run, but don't with incubate episode, only the four plutonium episode!!
What's Wrong?

I have no idea what could be wrong...
with my installation almost every modpack (TC) works fine. But I have made my own structure of re-building the original packs before playing them. (this should not affect compatibility, because all of them work under DOS and Windows)
Perhaps you could try the same: (hope I remember the steps correctly)
1. Extract all files of the original group of your modpack/TC
2. Then edit the >Include< lines in the .con's to avoid reincluding - so quote them out!
3. Determine which confile is which in the original game/group. Rename all present confiles from the mod to Game.con/User.con/Defs.con
4. Rebuild the group with the changed files
To insert those groups, follow these steps:
1. Edit the executable of the game to say "DUKE.CON" at the 2nd match when searching "GAME.CON"
2. Edit the original Duke3d.grp file's CON's as described before: Remove all include-lines
3. Create a new file in the install dir: DUKE.CON
include DEFS.CON
include USER.CON
include GAME.CON
(as far as I remember my own file)
4. Delete/Backup (if present) the three original cons from your install directory. They would else override the group's con's...
Now you can simply launch every pack from one file by typing:
duke3d /g<modpack>.grp
@JonoF:
Do you think it would be possible to insert such a trick in JFDuke, so that you can choose from the external Setup which file to use as GAME.CON (should be duke.con in this case)?
:idea: ... Greetz,

Thanks, now it's working :D

Incubation TC is somewhat more of a nuisance for simple directory packaging. The reason being the INCUBATN.CON file that gets included by INGAME.CON. If you put everything into a subdirectory, INCUBATN.CON won't be found. I ended up just unpacking the GRP file they distribute and repacking it with the CON files and the text files. Then it's possible to run the game with "/gincubatn.grp /xingame.con".
One of the additions I have planned for the game is the capability to use a directory as like a GRP file, and then some additional extras for making mods simpler to launch.
