So what format are they in? The original from Outrage or converted to avi or something so one could watch them on a standalone which would be cool.

Old but interesting Jason Leighton interview concerning D3

I know the Mike Kulas interview has already been referenced here but what about this one over at Gamasutra ? Quite an interesting read which among other things might explain why the D3 demo system is that buggy or some things on the HUD can be repositioned and others not. I'm still annoyed by the pl...

IIRC the # of levels you have completed is saved to your pilot file so there's no need to use the moreclang cheat. Also, you can play D2 under XP easily by using D2X-Rebirth.

You must be talking of High Velocity Weapons Research which can be entered after finishing level 12. I've got some info on that on my page which also has my old speedrun demo (that I finally dug up from some of my backups) in which I'm rushing through this level in no time. Check it out.

Like said on my level 24 page you can get 5 of them in this level which is enough to finish the boss bot on any skill level. So you do not necessarily need those from secret level 6 however, I've just tested it and my demo runs fine under D2X-Rebirth 0.53 Win.

I stand by my statement from sometime ago: I'd wish for ANYONE releasing enhanced versions of any Descent to include a switch that would make the game run with it's original settings/stats/values from the final patches, 1.5a, 1.2, 1.4. Thanks!

From my tests with D1XR D1 fusion is 31/blob so a full hit steals 62 HPs. Diedel, can you confirm this by checking the 'tables' in D1? Thx.

How did you check it with Rebirth? I've checked it for D2 with Descent Manager's Haxmedit which shows the D2 Fusion blobs at a strength of 30 on all skill levels.

Level 4 has only one reactor which leaves you 375 seconds to clean out the level on trainee which given it's design might still be not enough.

In secret level 6 it makes sense cause every time you destroy any of the several reactors you get additional time to explore the level and collect goodies. In secret level 5 destryoing the reactor opens a grate that will let you access some goodies including an Earthshaker. However, using a stupid G...

Easiest way is to use the Vulcan to shoot through the grates before the reactor is blown.

This is one of the few levels where the designers forgot to remove some...
