They are 3D models, but DAMNED UGLY. The models consist of cubes instead of polys.

Can I play Vertigo with D2X-XL? I copy everithyng from the "Vertigo" folder to D2 folder (the setup program can't run on XP...), but nothing happens. In the "Missions" folder, there are two new mission files: PANIC.HOG and PANIC.MN2. Are they the Vertigo missions?

Oh nevermind. I restarted the level, got some fire weapons, and toasted Hellion! :D

Man, the end movie is cool! And Wingnut is a hero.
But what happened to the girl on Red Acropolis?

Oh, sorry! I mean the colored weapon lights...

When I shoot, looks like the lights are disappearing expect the weapon's dinamic light.

The lightmaps and the static colored lights are great!

Hmmm... Adding OGG/MP3 system. Using Lyris's and DJ RedLight's remixes instead of MIDIs would be fantastic.

Ohhh. I feel bad. God, I love the D1/D2 MIDI music.

Let's forget about MP3/OGG...

But I think the colored lightning need some fine-tune.

The source documentation says the audio and modem stuff commented out, and they succesfully compiled with Watcom 10 and Opus Make before they release it (without sound and network, of course).

The DOS4GW stuff included with Open Watcom.

And Descent 1 doesn't use the MVE lib.

It's possible to compile the original Descent source code with Open Watcom without that "Opus Make"?

It would be great if the game pauses when you open a menu ingame, like the old D2X-XL with old menu style.
It's annoying the robots kill me during I configure something ingame, or I give orders to Wingnut.

I loaded a game, but this bug comes when I simply start a new game. And I discovered it in the D2 Automap, too.

And a D2 bug I discovered about 10 minutes ago: if Wingnut stucks in a key-locked door, and I press ESC, he jumps far away from the door.
