K1n9_Duk3’s Enormous Tool (Version 0.9f BETA)

Description:

K1n9_Duk3’s Enormous Tool (also known as Duke2Edit) was the first Level Editor ever released for Duke Nukem II. As time passed, more and more features were added, so almost every aspect of the game can be changed using this editor.

In 2013, this editor was used by Interceptor Entertainment to modify some of the graphics for the iOS version of Duke Nukem II. Some of the changes were also applied to the Steam re-release of Duke Nukem II.

System requirements:

Pentium 4 processor with 1.3 GHz or better
DirectX 7 or OpenGL compatible graphics card (GeForce 2 or better)
at least 32 MB RAM
Windows XP or above

Features:

Level editor
Editor for tilesets (CZone files)
Editor for the intro animations (FLIC files)
Converter for fullscreen graphics
Editor for sprite graphics
Integrated tool for image manipulation (QuickPaint)
Converter for digitized sounds (VOC files)
Editor for PC Speaker and AdLib soundeffects
Converter for AdLib music (IMF files)

K1n9_Duk3’s Enormous Tool can read and write all file formats of Duke Nukem II. All graphics and the digitized sounds (VOC files) can be converted into modern formats and back, allowing the data to be edited using other modern tools.

Documentation:

Pressing F1 while in the level editor brings up a help text, explaining all the keyboard commands for the level editor.

As of version 0.9c BETA, the editor comes with a PDF file that explains some of the editor’s functions and some of the game’s file formats. The documentation is very incomplete. It was supposed to be updated at some time, but I don’t think that will happen any time soon.
