I've been dying to see the primary weapon powerups remade ever since this whole hi-rez project started...

I give a party at our house - we're 9 people and it's gonna be fun. at midnight we'll be on a nearby hill watching the fireworks of the town

I don't use a mousepad at all, I don't need it
I'd only use one if the surface I use the mouse on would make the mouse move erratically

Could it be that you changed something in the movie playback since 1.8.9? I didn't find anything regarding this in the version history though... I'm just asking coz on my Desktop PC (P4@2.7GHZ, 768MB RAM, GF4 Ti4200) using v1.8.9 the movies look ok, but they play slow as hell and on my Laptop (Centr...

sorry, I suppose I can't help very much here as I don't know anything about OpenGL programming - I'm just starting to get the hang of some modeling things

Neumaennl

have you tried DOSBox? D1 runs quite well in it and you have no sound issues and can use the original D1 in all its 320x200 glory

Neumaennl

well, recalculating the normals outside is absolutely no problem in any 3D program, but unless you have a different model from the ones available at the Descent Network it's a major PITA to fix the faces thingy, I've already looked at them and the meshes are horrible. You'd be better off remodeling ...

Neumaennl

it's in the manual - you have to use the command for enabling one of the 3D Helmets/glasses - I don't remember which one, though - could be VFX-1

Neumaennl

I use Kanotix coz it's the distribution with the best Hardware support, it's easy to install, it has very good support via IRC and it's Debian based and updated frequently

Neumaennl

nice! now you got at least something out of your work - 1000$ cash + prizes worth 400$ is not bad

Neumaennl

The problem is that you need 3 fingers to control all 6 axes, so if you want to use the 2 buttons simultaneously (as required by Descent, for example) you'd have to use all 5 fingers of your hand which I imagine would feel quite awkward and would reuire quite a lot of practising.

It sounds like McAffee thinks the Copy Protection Software is a Trojan and therefore blocks it. And Homeworld thinks Copy Protection doesn't work, so I block myself.
So just try to let that SecuROM thingy pass McAffee and see what happens.

Is the rigging of the hand such a big problem? I would imagine getting the torso, legs and all the other things rigged is much more difficult.
I've only been playing with blender so far, though and it was stuff way less complex than the things you do.

Neumaennl

whenever I think it can't get better you come with an update and show me it can
this is one of the most awesome things I've ever seen

Neumaennl

this guy makes an art of flying a pyro - he's trichording all the time, except when shooting at something and he knows the level by heart

I bet he could maneuver through the level blind, just orientating by the sounds

he's awesome

Neumaennl

I really wouldn't do this with the hooves - IMO it ways looking way better before

Neumaennl

you could set the project homepage of D2X-XL on Sourceforge to descent2.de/d2x.html at the moment it points to d2x-xl.sourceforge.net but there's only an empty directory you don't even have to build a page that does the referring to descent2.de - you can directly set the homepage to descent2.de at t...

Neumaennl

WOW - this is so absolutely amazing! dunno what else to say - gotta go find my jaw - I dropped it when I saw this

Neumaennl

IIRC the SourceForge BugTracker System supports all the requested features
it's looking ugly, but that's something I think most people can live with

Neumaennl

We are not really tired of you personally - it's just that your English is really not that good and that makes it hard for us to understand what you want to tell/ask us.

Neumaennl

that's the evidence: the badboys get all the goodgirls

Neumaennl

nice idea! I especially like that you can see all the commercials and intros and endings - something that was not that easily accessible on the net until now - thanx alot!

Neumaennl

this is soo kewl!

me and my dancing partner after winning a dancing contest on July 29th, 2006

she has a boyfriend who is a good friend of mine for 2 years now

Neumaennl

suggestion: make the suggestion thread sticky - it's sometimes hard to find - especially since the forum search doesn't work (properly)

Neumaennl

Read the manual - it's not a bug, it's a feature
just uncheck the right checkbox and you'll be able to select the weapons

Neumaennl

why that? I got no problems under XP, SuSE and Knoppix

Neumaennl

you have to enter a username and a password for the internet connection somewhere if you have a dsl modem - if I had a router I would not have this problem and the Internet would work under Linux without much hassle btw: Knoppix is great as Live DVD but the installer sucks - well, I guess I'll just ...

Neumaennl

I just tried Kubuntu and I have to say that I was very surprised - negatively. You may call me stupid, but I was not even able to configure my DSL connection - I only found a Modem wizard. And how did they get the DVD full? There are so few applications available out of the box. I found that SuSE su...

Neumaennl

damn, that looks nice!

Neumaennl

they must have practised quite some time for this...

I was in the German Army for 9 months and when we were on \"Biwak\" (training in the field) we had MREs, too, but they actually tasted better than some of the meals we got in the cantine of our barracks

OK, at the risk of annoying Diedel I'll throw in the PNG suggestion once more - PNG allows 8 bit Alpha channel just like TGA and features lossless compression - you can also have a paletted image just like GIF, but the palette is not limited to 256 colors for images that large with that many colors ...

Gravis Phoenix - 4 axes and 24 Buttons - one can be configured as Switch button, so you have 46 Actions in total - the best Joystick I know - never found anything better.

Neumaennl

finally managed to find that goddamned switch to be able to get to the red key and finish the level - it looks absolutely amazing is there a way to get to the area beneath the reactor room? oh and the red door is only transparent when the opening/closing animation is played when it is closed it is o...

There are some messages in the log file saying shader cannot be compiled, but that's always been the case and I've been able to play just fine with the highest quality settings. I did not change anything on my system.
I want to be able play again - is there anything I can do?

Neumaennl

with v1.6.115 it crashes even earlier (while still showing the progress bar) here are the last 10 lines of the log file: File 'd1fs-xh.ham-l.mvl' not found File '.d1fs-xh.ham-l.mvl' not found File 'd1fs-xl.ham-l.mvl' not found File '.d1fs-xl.ham-l.mvl' not found Destroying camera objects Destroying ...
