Kirby, the entire disk if possible. If there are movie files and they are too large, w/o the movies. :) K....but we're gonna have to get creative to send it JUST TO YOU.... if you use bittorent, I could set up a private tracker and send you the torrent file. If not, then I could split it up and upl...

Kirby

oh wait a sec....I HAVE THIS CD!!!! :O Got it as a birthday present a few years ago...couldn't play it because I was too stupid back then to know that I needed a 3dFX card

Sure...I'll give you the data....any specific parts, or do you just want an image of the whole disc?

Kirby

well just think of it as one less thing to do (adding auto-update that is

)

I'm still confused on how multi-platform implementation would be possible...maybe this link will help:

Sorry....my Gaim cut off and I couldn't log back on again :P But as I was saying earlier, I would like to keep XL-Updater seperate from your project, just because I have no experience with group coding yet (I'm only in my freshman year...sheesh ;) ) Maybe as I get more experience, then yes....but ri...

Kirby

-An UPDATE CHECKER (not sure how I will do this yet, or even if I can, but I want to try) My XL-Updater tool is already functional, and can easily be ported to Linux/MacOSX once I get the time :P Spring Break is teh coming up....I will be reorganize everything and possibly make a better GUI with Ec...

Kirby

could HUD messages appear above the inventory icons? I don't think it's critical to always have the inventory icons fully visible all the time

Kirby

Something strange with the sound in D1 Level 1...

The room where the Red key is stored....I keep on hearing the \"cloak on\" SFX, even when no robots are in sight. This does not happen in any other part of the level...just that one room :/

Kirby

am I the only one who notices that with this new 1.5.127....that firing a secondary weapon will crash the game?

also...left/right inventory placement cannot be selected

Kirby

Please post in the dedicated sticky from now on.

But while it's here, can you post some sort of screenshot?

Kirby

Dang - you scared me! I thought "oh no, not another bug report!" :mrgreen: Thx for the info. :) fine...ya want one? :P Steps to reproduce: 1) At main menu, click on Single Player Game 2) click on either starting a D1 or D2 game 3) when it asks you to input the level you want to start at, ...

Litestep is an alternative shell for Windows...kind of like KDE/Gnome for Linux

Kirby

Actually if I recall correctly the Linux version of D3 works in OSX, even though the Mac version does not, I think I have heard that anyway. Because OSX is based off of Linux in the first place. Just saw this comment... I bought the Mac version of Descent 3; is there any way I can get a copy of the...

Kirby

forgot the ammo rack :D I was able to do a font 6-8 in the icons, but you might have to use a custom font :/ also...you could put the numbers just outside of the box....maybe being able to use a size 10-12 font doing it that way :) also....maybe having some sort of color code system....for example: ...

Kirby

love the new weapon icons on the HUD now :) Some things that can improve it: 1) find a suitable size/arrangement so it can be used in cockpit view also 2) Maybe add some for the headlight, ammo rack, full map, quad laser, and afterburner pickups 3) maybe show how many missles are left right inside e...

Kirby

No offense, but do you think the netplay tracker window needs to be 40 slots long???

(This is a German term that doesn't have the original meaning anymore, so looking it up in a dictionary won't help you. It's the ultimate way of saying something is exceptionally good, cool, desirable, etc.)

I concur

(English word meaning "I agree")

Just a suggestion would be to blur that orb and probably dull the orb colors so the menu options could be read easier

Diedel wrote:Kirby,

give me a nice custom background.

what resolution should I create it in?

Kirby

I love the dimming of the weapon lights!!!!

However (lighting related), this looks fudgy to me after blowing out all the ceiling light....shed some light on this issue please!!

Kirby

I can't imagine why everybody using D2X-XL's fake D1 support. D1X-Rebirth is playable, and it's real Descent 1. I must be weird then :roll: Can you even see what you are typing? REAL D1 would be running the unmodified source code (with all the pixelated textures and 8000fps on a P4). DXX is a conti...

what don't you get??? D2X-XL was NEVER meant to be a genuine D1 port. It's built off the D2X code, damn it.

Kirby

To keep the D1 experience as authenic as possible...\"missle view\" should be always disabled in D1 missions

Took me a few months to friggin notice that

also: we really need to open up the custom background image discussion again....it is definitely not Descent 2 anymore

Kirby

any plans of creating some sort of dedicated server program???

the netplay list is dead all the time

We need more netplayers

Kirby

HELLO!!!! can I have some testers here???

request as a sticky please

Kirby

First of all...the Descent 3 source code was never released....nor will it probably never since Interplay and Outrage have disappeared off the planet.

I know, reality is hard to comprehend

oh yeah...read this:

Kirby

Why do you want to rename it to "XL"-Updater, when it's for "D2X-XL"? You can do that yourself by editing your first post, btw. I won't hinder you, though questioning decisions of mine in this forum area can have unforeseeable consequences ... :roll: (ooooh, the feeling of MOD P...

Kirby

Just released my first version (wheee!!!! ^^) Just wanna see if the bare minimum works for people at least

*look up*

also /r/ (requesting) topic renamed back to 'XL-Updater' and stickied

Kirby

Who made this into a topic???? :lol: May I also note that people may not want their d2x.ini file overwritten, specially if it has player name in it to start automatically. I don't think ANYONE wants their d2x.ini file overwritten....I will probably exclude this file from being extracted by default, ...

Kirby

I had some time to play Descent 3 under Wine.....it does work. Some noticable problems was that brightness adjustment did not work, and the mouselook was very slow even with sensitivity turned way up (I think that has something to do with the framecap....I didn't have enough brains to try the -frame...

Kirby

Kirby, d2x-xl v1.5.99 will print the version string into a file named 'd2x-xl-version.txt' in the data folder (application folder if no data folder present), when called with switch '-print_version' and will then immediately terminate. :o :o :o Thanks for bringing up the different folders D2X-XL su...

Another update on my project \"XL-Updater\" (I have such creativity :P ) Everything is pretty much done for a open beta release....got checking server version, downloading, and unzipping working...now all that's left to do is to (once again) bug Diedel for a --version switch and implement ...

Diedel wrote:Tell me how to query the mouse wheel via SDL and I'll add it.

not too sure if you already know about this:

1.2.5: Added SDL_BUTTON_WHEELUP (4) and SDL_BUTTON_WHEELDOWN (5)

basically...wheel-up = button 4, and wheel-down = button 5

Kirby

some nice before-and-after shots of a texture in the first D1 level....

notice anything different after the panel exploded?

Kirby

Just a little update: I got checking for the server's current version working (dunno how though....that part of code is extremely messy....it'll work for now, but I gotta change it if I want it to support multiple OSes :lol: ).....it checks the version in the download link now please...implement tha...

Diedel wrote:All you'd need to do is to examine d2x.html for the package file names, as they all now contain the current version number.

ooohhh....that's even better ^^

might think about putting a changelog viewer right into the GUI, but I wanna get the basics down first

Kirby

Where should the output go to: stdout? text file? stdout will do fine :) need to start thinking about how to check/download the current version that is on the servers....I got some ideas, but it might require you to do something a little(little little) extra for every release :/ Some current ideas ...

Kirby

that was teh fun :lol: while I was talking with you, I noticed a big flaw with how I created the GUI (guess it doesn't like me adding ActionListeners to static objects)...no probs though, I'll put in more than 1 hour this time :D but yeah, if you could implement that command line switch for me, that...
