Delete the Duke3d.cfg and setup.dat files.
Then run setup.exe.

That should get rid of it.

help ... My darling lifetime partner has dictated that the behaviour of the
bad guys and the good guys is not appropriate. So, she has activated the
parental lock. If anyone has some hints on how to de-activate please advise
as quickly as possible as I considering filling for divorce on Monday.

Thankyou
Vaughn

Well you could just re-install it, but I noticed that you have an
Australian return email address. A re-installation probably won't
work because the Aussie version (at your government's insistence) has
the parental lock permanently turned on. I suggest you divorce your
politicians in the next election. As to your wife, well, that's up to
you. Blame her if you like, but Down Under the game comes out of the
box with the lock locked on.

Regardless, there is a way to hack the files to disable the parental
lock in the Aussie version. I suggest you back up any important Duke
files you have before you use it, just in case you mess up. Or keep
the CD handy.

Fix for the Australian censored version:

1. backup the original duke3d.exe incase of a mistake
eg. copy duke3d.exe duke3d.bak

2. Rename duke3d.exe to duke3d.bin
eg. ren duke3d.exe duke3d.bin

3. Run debug program from DOS
eg. debug duke3d.bin

3a. Enter these commands
-E 200 58
-E 210 58
-W
-Q

4. Rename duke3d.bin back to duke3d.exe
eg. ren duke3d.bin duke3d.exe

5. Type edit duke3d.cfg
Look for the line that says
Environment = " "
and change it to
Environment = "" (ie.remove the space between talk marks)
Look for the line that says
Out = 1
Change it to
Out = 0 (thats a numeric zero)

Save the file, exit back to DOS and run duke3d

(The Aussie fix was copied from a post by the ever-helpful Vanth).

I believe you put the game.con or user.con file in your editor, and use
your programing knowledge to re-write it.

Yes, you can re-install the game, and then make your OWN
parental-lock code, so she can't mess around with it anymore, OR, you can
torture the code she used out of her.

if the crack has worked and parental lock is accessible (with password )
delete duke3d.cfg and runsetup after that type in edit duke3d.cfg and
remove everthing between the " " o.k.

Using a text editor (ie. wordpad notepad dos-edit) search for the word
Environment in the Duke3d.cfg file.
You should find a line:
Environment = "PASSWORD"
(where PASSWORD is the password your beloved partener put in the game
for you.)

Hope it helps,

Actually, an easier way to do it without deleting anything is to edit the
duke3d.cfg file and scroll down until you see the word
Environment="[password]".
That way, you'll know what the password is and you can always put it back
if whoever put the adult mode checks it.
