Mhm yes this is the same thing I noticed, too. Didn't find this too hard, but I will fix it again.

zico

But just to get this straight:

When a robot displays you see it in the first moment in another color (I mostly see a blue scheme). Then it displays correctly, right?
Or is this constantly broken for you? This should just be a thing of some milliseconds.

zico

You mean the D2 robot briefings? If yes, that is currently related to the Redrawing menus.
I will see if I can adjust that a little bit in the future.

zico

Oh I built a homer with custom textures? I'll check that out.

EDIT:
I re-uploaded the windows package for D2X-Rebirth-0.52 which has that Texture loading bug fixed. Please just download it again, replace the EXE file and it won't happen anymore....
Sorry again.

zico

I needed to remove them since they caused several bugs in Demo playback (secondary weapons displayed in Primary box) and weapon cycling. Probably some day I will re-implement this, but this won't work with the current code, so I need to rewrite some parts of the code and I don't want to break compab...

New version, new page. DXX-Rebirth is back again! Main features of this version are: * Redrawing Menus * Persistent Debris feature (optional) - Debris stay around one minute and float around * Code improvements for 64Bit systems * Big improvements and fixes on Demo system * Full SCons support for So...

zico

Well I just won't promise which features I will still add... currently for me there ar emore important questions... savon HDD usage for Demos, making Fast Forward/Backward suitable for all FPS settings and legth of demos so you can jump to all parts without searching for hours... It's also easy to i...

zico

No it's not really hard...
I am however reworking the Demo system (upcoming version will have some fixes) and I will spend much more time for this code... let's see what will come out then.

The odds of life existing on a single given planet are still very low, even if it has water/atmosphere. For sure. But I won't give up the hope. For me it's too egoistic to think we are the only one lifeforms in - at least - our galaxy. When we can say 0.000001% of star systems in our galaxy MAY (if...

Probably for us, but not for possibly native lifeforms living there. Too often we thing in "earth-standards".

I'm not an expert, but I think if there's an atmoshpere, life will find it's way.

zico

They should make the Descent and Descent ][ data files Freeware. That would be a first step.

zico

The bug within secret levels is known.

And it's also fixed already. We are currently in Closed Alpha Testing phase and now we are moving to Beta next week. I am just not sure if this will be a Closed or Open Beta test.

Anyways I think the new version will be out in the first week of may.

zico

Hm I guess the movies would probably playbetter, if you use the Lowres Movies. If you have copied them to the D2X-Directory as well, you can activate them by the INI switch -lowresmovies. We always work on constant improvements of the performance. But still I doubt these improvements may help on you...

zico

GL_Scissoring is currently used to smooth the weapon boxes in the D2 cockpit.
It's normally no big deal, but old cards can suffer with these operations.

So probably you can improve in-game performance by setting it to 0

zico

Syntax for this option is:
-hud 1
-hud 2
or
-hud 3
(sure, hud 1-3 look same in cockpit and Statusbar, differs in Full-Screen mode)

If you have low FPS while playing try to set INI option
-gl_scissor_ok 0
This *may* improve the ingame performance a little bit.

zico

Next Version of D1X/D2X-Rebirth has fixed this bug. This behaviour you notice is related to high FPS.The higher the FPS, the better the homers do turn. Next version will have this fixed (optional to turn it off again as well).

zico

Look into the INI file. There's nice stuff in there.

The switch you are looking for is -gl_trilinear.

zico

I love the lifter

Was always my fav

zico

The next version contains a new joystick mapping layout for both D1X and D2X-Rebirth.

http://www.dxx-rebirth.de/blog/zico/joylayout.jpg

Also the \"Weapon keys\" (which includes weapon cycling for D1X) can be mapped to joystick (buttons or hat) as well.

What does everyone think about the idea of registered users being able to post "comments" about each level?

A very nice idea as I think. Developers could get great feedback this way.

zico

Zico, ummm, bad contrast is ok because everybody does it? You are having your jester's hat on today, don't you? I think I have an idea for a signature: "Swarm intelligence is only good if someone in the swarm actually thinks ..." Calm down boy. :) It was a friendly hint how to work around...

zico

For me the fonts are OK. Nevertheless they are dark, but I have this problem on many sites. But That is because I use a very low contrast setting on my TFT.
I correct this with my browser by selecting a larger default-font.

zico

I hope you will also bring up your great singleplayer missions. I LOVE THEM

zico

Agreed.

I also noticed some broken screenshots... but as it seems they are fixed now ^^

So besides the font I have nothing to complain

Very good job.

P.S. one thing probably:
\"DXX Rebirth
The next generation of D2X.\" --> AND D1X

- and for Linux as well

zico

Since I want to ensure the quality of the next release of DXX-Rebrith, I am here with a special call. I am currently rewriting the Menu part of both Descent games. This includes some special OpenGL drawing I am still pretty new to this special area. Nevertheless, the menus are very complex For this ...

zico

This looks like a very cool project.

Please keep up the good work. I am excited to see the results. I want to link it then.

zico

Okay. What you want is already in D1X. The UDP/IP feature should do that. It's not already implemented to D2X and currently I doubt I will have enough time to do it in a near future... Actually I tried to play with that code some days ago, but currently no go. I also can't say so much about the axis...

zico

Okay.... I am not attacking Zico, and even less every turn. okay... I will not go much deeper... My mother always said \"if you can't say something nice, don't say anything\". But to finish this already... You want credit? THANK YOU Not for code, but for flaming the whole DXX area.

zico

Yeah you can NOT make GPL code commercial.

But the GPL CAN'T say which codes you can \"convert to GPL\" (if this is possible however). There you would need to ask Parallax.

EDIT:
This is what I know. I could be wrong. Do what you want. I guess PARALLAX will not complain anymore

zico

AFAIK you can't change the license of a code that easy. Even if you rewrite wide parts of that code it's still a problem.

Also see SCO vs. Linux.

But sure you can put those additions to GPL.

zico

No problem about crossposting, copy/paste is easy: a) this code comes from D2X: http://cvs.icculus.org/cvs/d2x/main/laser.c?r1=1.10&r2=1.11 b) however it's not working correctly/ is broken so do not have any fear it'll be removed soon. c) the license of your engine is NOT GPL and DOES allow you ...

zico

Valve... Steam... sounds like I will miss that game on Linux. :/

zico

Hm I will do small changes on this thing however (mostly because of D2X) ... I will take a look to this bug then.

zico

D1X or D2X mission folder?
In D1X the -missiondir command overrides the default directory.

zico

D1X-/D2X-Rebirth have both fixed the missile turning rates. Also mouse movement or the turn rate overall is FPS independent.

zico

Setting -maxfps 30 for D1X?
Why is that?

zico

Hello everybody. Toady it's finally time for a new version of DXX-Rebirth. It is mostly a Bugfix version. The only real new features are transparency effects for OpenGL and a new file structure that contains seperate directories for demos, HiRes data, missions and screenshots. Also the joystick code...

zico

This is known... It's already fixed and if nothing goes wrong there will be a new version VERY soon

zico

I also have experienced a problem with screen flashes as a powerup is picked up. I realise that that is an original part of the game but I'm not sure that the degree of the flash is normal. If I run over several powerups at one time my screen is obscured almost to the point of being hit with a coup...

zico

I increased the max. value for levels in a very early stage of DXX.
Reading my Changelog I increased it to 5000 missions.
