To be honest, I don't really care that much about D2X-XL - I can build far cooler levels for D3. However, do you have any tips for getting the sound effects working? The setup program doesn't work without the CD; I can get the music working with the D2Demo setup, but is there any way to get sound ef...

Has anyone else found the Victorious Legion Troop Commander (stormtrooper leader from Retribution level 13) on Mercenary level 4?
Also, could someone give me a list of the D3 Retribution robots that are in Mercenary level 4 but not in any other Mercenary level? I doubt I've found them all.

Alter-Fox

I'm now also working on a fourth \"normal\" level, and a secret level. I have an idea for another secret level, but I haven't started it yet.

Alter-Fox

I have the original version. When I try to upgrade, it gives me \"error, old file not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No upgrade done since file contents do not match.\" I also can't get the sound effects to work, although the music is fine. I also have no idea where the...

I've tried to use D2X-XL, but D2 won't let me upgrade to version 1.2.

My brother and I have been trying to make levels for D2 using dle-xp. Most of the time, when we try open them in dosbox, it gives us an \"error in mission file\", or it just crashes the game. What are we doing wrong? The only exception seems to be levels made entirely of unwarped cubes.

I am currently working on another level, and I have a boss level finished. Here are some screenshots:

If you like racing games, I'd recommend TrackMania. It has a track editor that is incredibly easy to use.

I got the player start outside to work, but the outdoor area looks terrible. Nothing I can't fix though.

Thanks!

Caffeine is a natural chemical. Yes, but it's not meant to be naturally taken into our bodies (which is what Spaceboy said). Caffeine is a drug. Reliance on a drug (a drug not prescribed by a Doctor) is drug abuse. Don't agree? Tough. It's your life and body to destroy. Go right ahead. My thoughts ...

I'll try to move this onto a different tack. Well, considering that I'm only 17, I can only talk about my 'youth' youth. And I know this'll really annoy some of the people here, based on that entire debate back there, but I think Young Me would be the one giving me advice more. Simply because I rem...

And after you link the room to the external room, can you move the player out of it? EDIT: When I try to move a room around on the terrain, I can't tell if it's where I want it because it either appears way above or way below the terrain, depending on how the camera is rotated. A few days ago I trie...

I absolutely detest the taste of coffee.

Alter-Fox

Pushing the player through the walls was the first thing I tried, and when I tested the level, all I got was a \"hall of mirrors\".

Alter-Fox

If the room was a flat \"pad\", how would you get the player inside it?

Alter-Fox

How do you make a face not visible? Or could you script so that at the level start, the player is moved onto the terrain?

Alter-Fox

In D3 singleplayer levels, how would I get the player to start on the terrain. I tried moving the player out of the first room onto the terrain, but when I tested the level all I got was a \"hall of mirrors,\" as if I was outside the level.

Having a (possibly) flame war in the ethics forum is quite ironic.

Pumo has requested my midis for a campaign he's making, so you won't be using them.

Alter-Fox

It's fine if you choose not to include them. I just thought that the music wouldn't get annoying because the levels would be so small, so I composed the music around \"themes\". Besides, if you don't use them, then I could use them for my levels. But if you do decide to use them, that's fi...

Alter-Fox

I sent the music last night. Did you get it?

Alter-Fox

I have ten midis done, which sound best on 8mbgm enhanced, but sound good on just about anything. Judging from the screenshots, they'd fit in with the style of the campaign.

Alter-Fox

I already have COD. Very nice level. And yes, I did compose the music. EDIT: It might take a while to get a final version out, because I'm actually working on another level at the same time. I have the second one a little under half done, but I haven't done any scripting yet, and I'm planning to rel...

Alter-Fox

Will do, when I have time.

Alter-Fox

Okay. I've released the first version of the \"easy mode\" the one without mercenary robots, on my homepage on descentpedia. To download it, go to my homepage (AlterFox), click on file, and then click on the link to download it. (I think... thats what the instructions were at least.) EDIT:...

Alter-Fox

If I uploaded a file, ignore it. I forgot several things, including to zip it.

Unfortunately, they have affected all other missions. I repeatedly tried restarting D3, but ended up having to make two installations.

Alter-Fox

Yes, I did sign up as AlterFox. As for the merc bots, I did put the dll's in my mission, but I haven't checked out the ones in retribution yet.

It looks dark because in the screenshots, you can't see the strobe lighting. There are only two extremely dark rooms, everywhere else it's about on the same level as Reactor Gamma. The screenshots always look darker when they're pasted into paint, anyway. I would still recommend having your headligh...

I tried, but postimage keeps giving me a gateway timeout.

This isn't just any old D3 SP level... It includes robots from the Mercenary expansion. Unfortunately, the AI for the mercenary robots seems to mess up the AI of any D3 Retribution robot that wasn't in mercenary. I'd suggest you make a separate installation of D3 to play it. I also made an \"ea...

Alter-Fox

Thanks, I got it working.

COD D3 had working matcens, but it was entirely unscripted. What I really need to know first is how to create a matcen. I think that's where the problem lies, but I've tried everything I can think of.

Alter-Fox

I'm working on an SP level for D3. I've tried to make matcens, but they don't work. Could someone point me to a tutorial, or just describe how to implement matcens in D3 levels?

Alter-Fox

I still have that MIDI music I volunteered for the other campaign (the one in the topic I accidentally revived). I have ideas for more music too, and people tell me my music has a style that would be good for background music in a video game. Also, I have an interesting idea for how to implement the...

More acurrately, what would you most want to be, apart from human? I'd definetely be a genet. (For those who don't know, a genet is a catlike creature in the carnivore family vivveridae). I love the vivverids, especially genets, and I sometimes wonder if I'm not part genet, because my mentality is s...

My personal favourites:

D1 - Definitely Level 13

D2 - Midi - Level 3, Redbook - Are You Descent? and Cold Reality.

D3 Retribution - A New Strain (Level 7), Shotgun (Level 9), and Off Sides (Level 11).

D3 Mercenary - Solar Igni (Level 4) and Pink Slip (Level 5)

Alter-Fox

I have the same problem, I'm not sure how to fix it though.
