@Pumo Well, that did some wonders! I still have a couple of problems, but at least I can count them on one hand now: 1) Energy and shields are starting at 90 instead of 100. 2) Every time I change from one midi music to another (load a level, change levels, etc.), the music stops until I reset the m...

Simple question here, what is your favorite single player Descent (I and II) level you've ever played? The only restrictions are that it cannot be an XL exclusive level, cannot be a secret level, and must be just ONE level (so if it's from a mission give the level name or number). Three to five all ...

In 1.16.27, do the hires sounds actually have to be enabled? And if so how can I get rid of the garbled sound problem?

Which of the three was your favorite, Alter, and what difficulty were you playing HF District on?

I'd also ask about any of Grant's D2 levels (he has a lot of them, all on DMDB).

EDIT: Also looking at Scorch's Den again I forgot another one - Kessel Spice Mine. Any recollection of that one?

I hope in this older version the hi-res stuff isn't required either. I don't recall it being, and there are options to turn in off, which would make no sense if you had to have the hi-res stuff turned on.

Can you just list a few at a time as they come to mind? That would be most appreciated.

There are five maps I could ONLY get from Scorch's Den, nowhere else. Any of these ring a bell?

Dragon's Fortress
Hellfire District
Sandcrawler Petroleum Dig
Terrafrost Nitrogen Mine
Kessel Spice Mine

Well campaigns have already been covered pretty extensively in a poll, but while they're the big ticket items as far as level counts are concerned, quality can still very much come in smaller doses! So I'm creating a second, final thread for recommendations of single levels, single level series (lik...

I can't tell who was mentioning them. Every mission in the poll (in fact every mission in your list) as well as the four other ones I noted further down is available on DMDB. By the way DFW, two notes actually for your list (considering stuff up to 2004 I'm familiar with at this point): 1) I could a...

Okay I got some venue of cockpit to show, and managed to get rid of the garbled sounds. But I'm still having all sorts of problems with where stuff shows on the screen, I have no music except in the menu, and the game has weird 'pauses' when loading things/switching screens. The screen also goes bla...

This is really frustrating. I've tried installing it, but no matter what I do I get one of two bugs that render it unplayable. Either the screen will not change at all when the level loads (it'll just still show the menu), or if I manage to get a level to load, the cockpit will be completely black a...

I've been having a really hard time and getting constantly discouraged with setting up D2X-XL. Either it won't work, or it's not nearly to my liking. I thought I'd post a thread for it as a result, maybe someone can give me a bit of a tutorial as I feel that's what I need. :) Basically my set up goa...

If I'm not in the mood too much to set up XL, is the original version of Black Prophecy still good fun Alter? My problem with setting up XL is getting rid of all those extra features I don't want. I want an experience as close to the original as possible, or at least with as few modifications as nec...

Does this include Legacy of Chaos/Black Prophecy should run fine as well? Maybe Pumo could tell me for sure about the Kruel campaigns. (Or Alter, who I'd also still like thoughts on Colossus/Nefarious/Prophecy/Legacy from.)

As far as you know, does anything in my poll push the engine that close to the limit (or also the new ones I mentioned minus Nefarious Assault)?

Why does The Enemy Within run so choppy at times with DosBOX (for instance, Levels 9 and 26)?

Sirius, if I like Entropy 2 is Mandrill on par with it?

Also if you played it, what did you think of Black Prophecy and Colossus?

Thanks otherwise.

I just came up with a couple additional somewhat newer ones I wanted to ask about. Just listing them here since I can't edit the poll. Descent 1: Colossus Nefarious Assault (also, does this REQUIRE Rebirth?) Descent 2: Legacy of Chaos Black Prophecy (not the XL version, again does it need Rebirth?) ...

If I drop the skill down to Rookie, is Apocalyptic Factor good to play in single player (that is, still challenging but not insane at this skill, plus enjoyable levels in general)?

DMDB...Ouch! 3 homing missile enemies right next to each other?! Also did you put your votes in Alter (I like that so I can see a proper total count of people voting for each)?

@Alter-Fox Entropy 2, Obsidian, Mandrill, and Konflict at Karon - as Pumo highly recommended each of those - would you personally recommend them as well? Vertigo Dementia is really that hard? It's not even a new mission. It's just 8 Vertigo levels + 2 Counterstrike levels + 1 Project Mandrill level,...

First Entropy & Kryllidian Krusade? I hear the same of Hydro, probably will start it around Level 5 if I play it. There's no real use in playing Vertigo Dementia by the way. It has 11 levels, but it's just 8 Vertigo levels + 2 Counterstrike levels + 1 Project Mandrill level (the secret level) al...

Thanks Alter, that will be much appreciated!

Sorry for sending the message when it wasn't necessary.

By the way I'm especially interested in what Alter-Fox, Pumo, Sirius, and (if she's still around) DarkFlameWolf most recommend, so I'd like to request an actual post from them (simply a list is fine though). :) Looking through these forums they just seem to be some of the ones most familiar with sin...

Basically the title is exactly the question, though please don't use number of levels as a means of judgement, the emphasis is quality. Not much need to elaborate further but feel free to comment. :) ps I do have one question, because I read there was a way to do it but can't find out how: What edit...

So, I found this pretty good list from DarkFlameWolf of classic Descent I/II campaigns going through 2004: Descent 1: Orion Nebula Project Iron Star Mission Vertigo Demensia Lost Levels for D1 Descent 2: Entropy Experiment Entropy Experiment 2 Encounter at Farpoint 2: Dimensions Kryllridian Krusade ...
