I'm also noticing a trend now where D2x-w32 is dropping packets after the ship explodes in multiplayer against players using D2 DOS v1.2 and D2_3DFX. The powerups aren't dropping after death like they should be. On the other persons end they see nothing. I've had this happen twice today on Kali with...

Glad to be of service :mrgreen:

I've also noticed that this design trick stands out when you use colored weapon lights. When the walls turn "X" color, the parts of the wall where a light was used behind the texture stay solid and don't change as the rest of the wall would.

If you scroll up you'll notice I already posted my system specs in my first post. I'm also well aware of the performance hit, but I wasn't expecting something that drastic on something so old.

I'm just wondering why lightmapping on an old ass game like D2 takes my framerate from 60fps with AAx2, AFx2 down to 14-16fps in fairly small levels at 1024x768... It's also causing one of the lava textures not to be rendered correctly and lightmapped correctly... Hell's Gauntlet 2.0: No Lightmaps h...

Looks great so far other then being a bit sluggish on 800x600. I was running it on 1024x768 and 1152x864 sans-lightmapping. Level load delay wasn't "horrible". It was actually quite tolerable. I've seen worse...but it did load, which was good. However the effects don't stay if you adjust r...

I wasn't aware that D2x-w32 could detect what versions people were using and neuter itself accordingly until now. So it really isn't as big of a problem in the long run I guess.

Being out of the loop on this project for months I decided to download 1.4.5 last night.

So many wonderful enhancements and yes, even the midi volume slider works for ...
