Diedel I really was upset when I wrote the last post - I apologise for that. But I want to explain why I was upset and what my problem is: 1) I appreciate what you are doing - it's great that we still can play D2 on our machines and I'm greatful for that! 2) If you don't want to do something, say so...

Diedel Are you afraid of adding something that really could improve gameplay? Is it just the eye candy stuff that interest you? As long as you didn't play my levels in multiplayer you can't really judge my levels, can you? As I wrote they are not everyone's taste and I'm sorry if you can't see and a...

Ok, Diedel wanted that I show some of my levels and here they are :) . http://mypage.bluewin.ch/snytek/descent/d2/d2_levels.htm I know, they are not everyone's taste but give them a chance :wink: . Most of them are very symmetric and are designed for Anarchy and CTF. I've made some notes about the g...

Sirius, resetting the players weapon at level start is exactly what I was thinking :wink: . I didn't want to push Diedel in a specific direction :P . What do you mean by 'complete solution', Diedel? Cheers SnyTek PS: Diedel - you won't be able to make a DLE-XP user out of me, but I'll see which leve...

I'm not sure if this already came up or is already implemented and I missed it: If I design my levels I seriously think about the weapon load. Too much weapons and the level is crap. Or the wrong weapons and the level is unplayable (e.g. too many smart mines or shakers). The problem I have is, that ...

Kyouryuu, did you have a look at the application itself or do you probably have the source code? With that you certainly could say if Pog files are supported or not...

Well, I'm sure DLE-XP it's a useful tool but I didn't use it for ages - and I won't start now just for building one or two levels. Well, if I want to benefit from the new things I'll need to use it. But that's not the case at the moment. I solved my problems otherwise -> used a texture which I could...

Because I've build about 50 levels years ago and just know how to use Devil .

I once tried dle-xp and went crazy cause I even couldn't manipulate a point an the desired direction (I like precise levels ).

Hi Devilers I'm currently making a level with Devil and I'd like to use some custom textures (well, that's pretty obvious as I already asked a question about that :P ). Does anyone know if Devil can handle POG files? I have created a POG file using DTX2 and the file works if I put it in the HOG file...

Thank you two! @Sirius DTX2 - yes, that tool should be on my D2 Tools Disk. I'll check that later. I already tried to get some information about the textures on descent2.de but couldn't find anything. So I'll stick with the old format; isn't really a problem. @Kyouryuu Will download the package. Tex...

Hi developers It has been a long time since I've created my last D2 level. Now I have a new one in the pipeline :) Question 1: I would like to use custom textures for this new level. Is there probably a collection of textures for D2 somewhere a level builder could use? Question 2: What tool do I nee...

Sorry guys, it works :). With the latest version of D2X and Multicast UDP/IP connection it runs as expected. We tried this latest version with Windows 2000 Server - obviously D2X has some problems with this system. Further tests with 'normal' workstation OS were successfull :D . So I'm looking forwa...

Hi Descenters, We were not able to run D2x (vers. 0.2.5 - file:d2x-cvs-20031107_mingw.zip) in multiplayer-LAN, we couldn't see the created game to join. We also tried it with UDP/IP and IPX (We are in the same subnet). We tried it with an XP SP1 and a Win2K SP4 machine. The network is running with n...

I don't want to use this UDP implementation. My problem is, that it doesn't work with IPX!

On my Win2000 installtion I have installed the protocol "NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS-compatible transport protocol". In my opinion this shoud be enough. Do I need the "NWLink NetBIOS"?

Has no one ever tried D2X over LAN? I can't believe that I'm the only one with this connection problem...

The IPX protocoll is installed on both computers, so I don't understand why it doesn't work.
I'd like to get it to work over LAN, internet isn't that important for me. I've just tried the TCP mode because the IPX didn't work...

Hey folks! I would like to play D2 with my friends again, but it seems that there are some problems to solve first... I have downloaded and installed Version 0.2.5 of D2X and everything works - appart from the network :(. I'm using Windows 2000, I have patched D2 to the version 1.2, installed the Wi...
