1.- INSTALLING THE TC

First of all, install a new, fresh copy of Duke Nukem 3D 1.5 and EDuke to a
new directory. Installing the TC into a directory with lots of b!tch!n user
stuff will make the TC run bad or even don't run.
Then unzip the SUBURBS.ZIP to the fresh Duke directory you have just created.


2.- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

-Hardware Requirements:
For the VGA modes: A Pentium P133 with 24 Megabytes of RAM.
For the SVGA modes: A Pentium P200 with 32 Megabytes of RAM.
Kick-ass system: A Pentium II P300 with 64 Megabytes of RAM, good sound card
with ear-bleeding speakers, 19 inch monitor, and a fast hard drive.

-Software Requirements:
Duke Nukem 3D Atomic v1.5 and Enhanced Duke Nukem 3D v2.0


4.- GAMEPLAY

Suburbs TC adds some features that weren't in the original Duke Nukem 3D. To
learn how to make use of them, read this paragraph.

-Talking with people: To talk with a person, stay in front of it and press the
USE key. Take note of what most people will say, it is often very important.

-Holstering your weapon: Most people will fuck ya up if they see you with
your weapon. To holster your weapon, DO NOT press the HOLSTER key. Use the key
to select weapon #1 (knife) instead.

-Buying stuff: To buy things, first enter a shop :-). Stand in front of the
shoopkeeper and press the DUCK+USE keys to cycle through all the items that
the current shopkeeper can sell to you. When the thing you want to buy is
being displayed, just press the USE key. If you have enough money, you'll buy
the displayed item.

-Getting health from cola cans: You will find cola machines in some of the
levels of the game. If you shoot at them, they will explode (because of the
gas pressure in the cans), and lots of cans will fly over your head. If you
duck and hit the USE key in front of a can, you will drink from it, gainig
4 health points inmediately. You should shoot at the machines from a distance
if you don't want to die young...

-Climbing ladders: To climb a ladder, stay in front of it, then press and
hold the USE key until you climb all the ladder. To descend a ladder, press
and hold the CROUCH key. Note that you can not use any weapons while climbing
ladders, and you cannot climb or descend them with your back.

-Examinating corpses: Some enemies will drop their weapons when killed, but if
you register their corpses after they're dead, you can get their money. Use it
to buy things at the shops. You may also find a key or an important item in
their clothes, so examine every corpse quickly. To register a corpse, duck in
front of it and press the USE key.

-Making your gang partners follow you: In the first level of this demo, there
are some fellows that can follow you and kill some enemies for you. They are
in the warehouse which Pancho is taking care of. When you are near them, hit
the USE key and they will follow you. If you want them to stop where they
are, just press the USE key in front of them again.


4.1- ENEMIES

The enemies you will find in Suburbs TC are really bad-asses. Though you can
kill them with a few shots, they can do the same with you. So you'll have to
be more intelligent than them. Use the environment to protect yourself, make
traps with your grenades... use your noggin or you will die in a few seconds.

-GANG MEMBERS: They are not the hardest enemies on the game, but they use
to attack in groups. If they catch you, they won't let you get out alive.
They can use a whole plethora of weapons to fry yer ass.

-POLICEMEN: The standard Government forces, used to retain people on the
suburbs. Their shotgun can kill you with only one shot if you get too close,
so better kill them from a distance.

-MARINES: The elite Government forces. If a person from the suburbs gets
close to them, he will die instantly. They are equipped with heavy, ripper
machine guns. Be careful if you get close to them - they don't care if they
finish with their own lives trying to kill you. You'll se what I mean once
you get close to one. If you don't use strategies to kill them, you'll have
nothing to do.

-SNIPERS: If you are getting shoot at and you don't know who is shooting at
you, it is sure a sniper. They wear special goggles to see trough a person's
clothes, so if you are using a costume or something similar, they will know
who you are and will start shooting at you with their lethal silenced pistol.
(Note: Throwing a grenade into a sniper's hole and seeing the blood and guts
flying is one of my favorite parts of the game.)


5.- IMPROVING PERFORMANCE

If you find that the game is running too slow on your system, be sure to do
the following things before you totally erase the TC:

-Choose a lower video resolution such as 320x200 or 320x400 (if available)
-Turn off shadows in the Options Menu
-Decrease the sound quality and the number of channels in the SETUP program
-Restart the computer in MS-DOS mode
-If your system is slow, really slow... what are you doing reading this? :-)

6.- COPYRIGHT STUFF

This TC has been made by Criminal Productions. This means that you can't
make your own TCs based in this one. You may not copy any of the graphics
made by me or the team. You can copy the ripped graphics to use them in
your TCs, as long as those files were not made by me. You may not copy the
CON programming to use it in your own TCs. And you can't use the TC levels
as a base to build new ones. If you do so, remember: I know who are you.
I know where you live. Watch your back. And one day you may find your home
burning. Don't say I didn't warn you.
