My multiplayer games die if Hoard.Ham is absent.

Is Hoard.Ham required for multiplayer to work?

d2x-xl 1.9.151 is producing an error that it cannot load cambot.hxm, and it is producing errors when multiplayer games are started that hoard.ham is missing. How do I get these files?

The way you are distributing D2X-XL makes it so I can't even build it anymore. Its got all kinds of Control Line feed errors. Please, can I get you to do thinghs the way you did before?

I still can't get Descent I working. I have a listing of that directry. chaos.hog chaos.msn comdelux.hog comdelux.msn corr11.hog corr11.msn d1_14a.exe d1_15.exe d1x042ogl* d2_1x_to_12.exe d2demo.ham d2demo.hog d2demo.pig d2xdir.txt d2x.ini d2x-xl.hog default.plr demonbrg.hog demonbrg.msn descent2.ad...

Currently, D2X-XL Crashes with a segfault if the ~/.d2x-xl directory doesn't exist. Most Linux applications create User's configuration directory by simply making the .d2x-xl directory. and copying a configuration file template from /usr/share/d2x-xl/config. It won't prompt the user to do this, it j...

I will send you a Fedora Version of the D2X-XL SPEC File. It should be simplistic enough that Suse will build it. I hope. The thing is, there is still a few matters to attend to with the fact that User's configuration files are not created by default upon initialization.

I've found the offending line. I can do this one of two ways, include it as a patch in my SPEC File, or send it upstream to you. By the way, You made a critical mistake of adding a -1 at the end of the version ID For SDL, 1.2.10-1 is the RPM Revision ID For Suse. 1.2.10 is the actual version of SDL....

The autoconf script attempts to detect that SDL 1.2.10 is installed, and when it sees that SDL 1.2.8 is installed, fails. Terminates the script, and refuses to build. Also, creation of d2x-xl should be automatic upon the detection that it does not exist. The user should not have to hand create these...

I'm sure that you could tell Tar to recursively tar up *.c. What syntax are you using right now?

Your architecture could be x86 or x86_64 in that case. i586 is also known as classic Pentium Architecture. (Pentium I was called Intel Processor 80586, the architecture changed slightly with i686, also known as Pentium II. I am still unable to play Descent II demo and see my laser fire, and I still ...

You should include the name of the architecture in yolur binary distribution. (i586) in this case. Source distributions should not have a 'src' in them.

Your latest version of D2X Does not build. It requires SDL 1.2.10, my distro only allows for 1.2.8 Package Interdependant Linux Distros cannot upgrade critical libraries. It would disrupt other applications that use them. (In this case SDL.) It would be like putting libraries from 98SE into 98A. The...

Joystick(s) and mouse are 2.6 seconds
Keyboard is 4 seconds

For a full rotation of the ship.

I have tried a Gravis Flight Stick (A rather standard but old device) wiht the same result. turning is far to fast.

I use a PSX2 Adapter called a \"Wind Spirt\" Connected to a USB Port. I will be sending you stack traces for my Descent I Crashes via E-mail.

Is there a way to configure D2X to use 720x480 resolution (An NTSC TV)

And, Joystick controlls under D2X-XL are WAY too hypersensetive and changing the setting in options does not effect it under Linux.

The bad things is, I get multiple build warnings. I am not a C++ or C coder so its not something I know how to fix. This is not something someone else can do. Only you know your code.

Also;

to create a bz2 archive, run tar with cjvf parameters.

Can you meet me on the FreeNode IRC Network (irc.freenode.net) #mandriva Look for Zombie It sounds like you got shafted by a bad distributor. Linux is not Homogeneous like Windows is. I'd be happy to assist you. But one thing to keep in mind is that many distributors have many differing opinions of ...

I wanted to give some pointers for packaging D2X-XL that are problems I run into. First of all, you might as well stop distributing D2X-XL's \"Linux x86-32 executable\". It doesn't work on most Linux distributions out there. On mine, I got Broken pipe issues and Segmentation faults. Its al...

I can post a file list, or the RPM Specfile I use t build d2x-xl.

Something I forgot. The best way to get Midi support written into D2X-XL is to get it to pipe midi data to \"Timidity\". Most computer sound chipsets do not have real MPU-401 or FM chips at all, and emulate this hardware with drivers in Windows. The best solution for this is to write a Tim...

I am trying to get d2x-xl pushed into contribs for Mandriva, I've encountered a few bugs. - I have Descent 2 Demo Data, v 1.0, and Descent 1 First Strike v.1.4 - Descent 1 data causes a segmentation violation, Its data is in the same directory as the descent 2 data. I cannot play the full version of...
