new file structure for D1X-Rebirth?

Hi everyone For a matter of organisation I have the thought to change some things in the D1X-Rebirth file structure. 1) D2X-Rebirth saves it's demos as default in a subdirectory. I would like to do that for D1X-Rebirth as well 2) D1X-Rebirth can make use of HiRes Fonts and Briefing screens. I would ...

Sourcecode of D1X-1.40

Does still someone has the source of D1X-1.40? Since Rebirth is based on 1.43 I would like to see what's going wrong between those two versions. Source would make it easier. Thanks :) EDIT: The problem is solved. But if someone still has that version it would be very helpful for further comparisons.

Hm there are rumors about a OpenGL implementation withing Vista. I still don't know the details, but if it's possible I will still keep D1X- and D2X-Rebirth running on that system as far as I have enough money to get a license for the system. For Linux there will be no changes :) DXX-Rebirth always ...

Hmm simulatin keystrokes could indeed cause some problems. But unfortunately this is most likely a problem with SDL that cares about the devices.

I hope this does not cause too much trouble.

Hi Well I now hear this second time robots are more agressive than in other versions. But that's not my fault :) I know there were some AI changes in the D1 patch 1.5. And probably also the D1X coders did some other changes. In general changing AI is a thing I'm very critical about. If I'm going to ...

This basically means the following: Mouse movment as seen in DOS-Version of Descent (1 or 2). D*X only had this movment if FPS were set to ~35 FPS. Now it should be the same - no matter which FPS are set. For (singleplayer game) players there is still the possibility to set \"-mouselook\" ...

Next version that comes out will be a bugfix version.
Then I go along with the joystick stuff in D1X-R and - if someone reports me something - D2X-R.

Thanks for all that tests BUBBALOU. It would be interesting to know how your sticks currently perform in D2X-R. I would give the joystick interface a higher priority. I own many joysticks as well (mostly Saitek) but \"unfortunately\" I could not recreate most of the problems users have her...

I haven't said that I will implement your code.
But I often do learn from it.
But don't be afraid. I will not \"steal\" anything. As it looks I will solve this joystick stuff on my own if i get the chance to see what's not correct with it.

The results of that what I currently know are as follows: D1X makes trouble with random sticks. I suppose many will be caused when selecting other sticks than the normal while the game joystick selection. D2X only problems seems to be combinations with gameport and USB joysticks while two or more US...

It wouldn't be a problem to get the XL code into D2X-Rebirth. But the D1X Joystick code is a lot different.
So I need to know more precisely information - especially about how your sticks perform in d2x-rebirth.

The Joystick problem is known. It seems that D1X doesn't currently like Gameport Joysticks. I'll go for more tests in the next weeks. I wish joystick manufacturers would create a standard for these devices... can't be so complicated, works with mouses, too. The problem with the pilot data you mentio...

MIDI works on Linux for D1X-R and D2X-R from v0.40. D2X should play MIDI on AWE (using awsfxload) and MPU401 (using timidity) compatible cards. The binary of D1X is compiled for AWE support. To change this to MPU401, grab the source, change WANT_AWE to WANT_MPU in defines.mak and compile again. I've...

Unfortunately the Menu screens would just not fit because they had that stupid 3DFX logo ... But if someone wa...

Bugs - post your bugs you had here

Have you seen a bug in D1X-R or D2X-R just give me a small message.
An exact description of the bug would be very helpful.
In case it's a graphical glitch a screenshot could be handy.

Thank you

Wishlist - what do you want to see in DXX-Rebirth

Hi guys

I never thought that there would be some people really playing DXX-R. But now I want to do something for you.
What do you wish to see in D1X-R and/or D2X-R?
Just tell me :)
