I have found the code doing turn banking, and have removed this behaviour from D2X-XL for D1 missions. Very nice and very authentic. However, I like the feel of banking. Can you make it so that can be toggled for D1 missions? Should I put that in the suggestions? I have completely changed the Desce...

For the bug where I start the game and I still see my desktop, but in D2X's resolution, I think it happens every time if I have Trillian running. Curious that you're having that problem. I use Trillian all the time and never see that. Is your Trillian set to "dock" the contact list(it's a...

The D1 exit crash bug happens when you exit a mine and the exit sequence should be played. The D1 palette bug shows in completely scrambled textures.

...this is a bug I have fixed in v1.5.116 which was caused by some changes to D1 trigger handling in v1.5.114. Unfortunately, the effects of this bug are stored in save games made after it was introduced. You will have to replay that level, or the one before. Sorry. Yup, I went back a couple saved ...

Diedel, I just did Level 27 of D1 and after destroying the Boss... I could go to the exit, but that wouldn't end the game... ... so there I was with the whole thing done, I'm in the exit tunnel, Boss is dead... time is running out... and I can't leave. :cry: MD dies... Do you want my saved game? I h...

Agreed.

Too bad \"Sanford\" (the actor of the part) actaully died from a heart attack on a set ... just like all those times he faked a heart attack on that show.

To quote the FAQ that Diedel referred you to:

When I try to select the Vulcan/Spreadfire Cannon, the Gauss/Helix cannon gets selected
- Turn off 'smart weapon switch' in the gameplay options menu.

That was the 5th item in the FAQ

FAT32 doesn't journal. It'll catch up to you. No it wont. Heh, yes it will. Particularly as often as BSOD prone 98 is. Data corruption is very easy to accomplish with FAT32. NTFS is light-years ahead of FATxx. I always had to re-install 9x every six months or so due to windows rot. (if you don't kn...

I like the Letterbox (widescreen) view... but I'm finding that if that view is my default view (or last view mode used)... the D2X-XL is crashing a lot when starting a game or saved position.

If I switch to full screen view or cockpit view... no problems.

'-debug' only leads to more messages being output to the game console. It doesn't have any comparable effect to running dle-xp in a debugger. I'm betting you meant D2X-XL ;) Yes, That's probably all '-debug' is supposed to do, but here's what I'm seeing: I've seen the D1 level exit crash so much, t...

Heh... fun stuff happened! I ran d2x-xl in the MSVC Debugger, and the exit sequence was perfect! When I tried again without the debugger, it crashed again. :lol: :P :D Thanks Escorter! That gave me an idea... Diedel, I added the "-debug" command-line option to my shortcut to D2X-XL... and...

You know, in an episode of Stargate SG1 they comment that you'd think a ancient and advanced space traveling race would have come up with seat belts (this said after a crash landing).

The response?

Um, the setup program should work just fine... expecially if you run the setup program in compatability mode (right-click the setup.exe, properties, Compatability, Windows 95).
