Good diffusion of your level:

Imagine that you have build the level "mylevel.map", and that you want to diffuse it on the web; Start by writing the document named "MyLevel.txt" where you write your name, the name of the maps, a description and many others informations about the level.

If you have make a file of graphismes I think you have uesed the Tiles014.art or Tiles015 file; but everybody is using this files so you must place it in "MyLevel.grp", so your level will be the only to use theses graphismes; use the command:

KGROUP <all files to group> <MyLevel.grp>
Now you have all your files in one file. The problem is that now if you use MyLevel.map in the directory of Duke Nukem 3d, the game will not find the graphismes, because duke3D use DUKE3D.grp by default, so you must say it to use MyLevel.grp.
You must use this command:
Duke3d.exe -map MyLevel.map /gMLevel.grp
The game will start, but it's lazy to type this command each time; you must write the .bat file: "MyLevel.bat"
@ECHO OFF
Duke3D.exe -map MyLevel.map /gMYLevel.grp
You now have the possibility to start your level quickly.
But there is an other problem: if you use difficulty levels in your map, you must rename your level in E1L1.map; you must modify MyLevel.bat
@ECHO OFF
ECHO STARTING "MYLevel.map". VEUILLEZ PATIENTER...
RENAME E1L1.MAP E1L1.TMP
XCOPY MyLevel.map E1L1.MAP
DUKE3D.EXE /GMYLevel.grp
DEL E1L1.MAP
RENAME E1L1.TMP E1L1.MAP
ECHO Bye...
You can also try to rename your maps on E1L1.map, E1L2.map... in the .grp file. Now you must simple type this commande:
Duke3D /g MyLevel.grp
Now you must compress all this files in MyLevel.zip and send it to some webmasters of sites about Duke Nukem 3D.
