Well.. actually I was not so... motivated to fix those cheats, but if that's all that keeps you from playing I'll fix it...
It's good you report it, I was not aware of this problem.

Normally Rebirth is fully KALI compatible but I made a mistake in Version checking. 0.55.1 is on it's way (ETA 1 week).

Also on www.dxx-rebirth.com you'll find a link to an IRC chat which basically serves the same purposes as KALI - with the exception that it's free.

Hmm come tot hink of it by the fact users could upload other authors missions: Is there somethign like - at least - a filename-check which would prevent redundant uploads of the same mission by different users? (caused by mistake for example) I guess this would be another thing to look for to *autom...

zico

Maybe we could implement those \"golden missions\" if you can submit missions with fields a la: \"submitter: NAME\" (which would be the account name of the user uploading the mission) \"author: LUKE SCHNEIDER\" (the name of the original author - must be entered be the u...

Just released Cubes Unlimited for DXX-Rebirth website. With this database I won't need it anymore.

zico

Btw. (just to clarify - as we speak about the cockpit problems) as the Images by Gold Leader show another Reticle is not a problem of TEW or such. It's just an option in rebirth. The TEW reticle also works.

zico

Hey, if you get to the half, it will still be the largest levelset I've seen besides the original one.

And that would still be very awesome.

All of them. It appears particularly badly when a door opens or closes in view, and when more than one enemy is on screen. If you use dxxx and view any of the demos on my system, it stutters noticeably - and it's not framerate. The same effect is noticed during gameplay. I am using the latest drive...

I am not sure if it's related to the chipsets itself or more the drivers. However it's not in my hand. I strictly use general OpenGL code without any NVidia or ATI specific hacks or instructions. I'd say - grab 10 bucks and buy a GeForce 3 or something like that. This should run DXX like butter. Oth...

First of all, we from the DXX-Rebirth team wish all of you a merry Christmas and a Happy new year! As a special gift we finally have v0.55 ready. The most important changes are: * Reworked Physics acting on fixed values to ensure similar collisions on various FPS-settings including more accurate Col...

zico

The 0.54 release definetly includes all needed DLL files (just checked). And those need to stay in the same directory as the d1x-rebirth-gl.EXE file is.

zico

D1X-Rebirth bases on D1X-1.43 - the livna package release of Fedora Core. D2X-Rebirth bases on the most recent D2X snapshot. Both now pretty evolved and forked away from the original code bases. These both programs just pretty evolved. To install properly there should be a README.txt in each package...

zico

Hmmm it's hard to nail down definete moments, bit lemme think... The hardest moment(s): - The MOST hard moment of course level 25 boss room. In the end I rushed into, provoked the matcens, and took down the Kalkis from the yellow/blue connection-tunnels until they stopped spawning. - Second hardest ...

zico

I noted down the location of the levels at the end of the credits. :) I think that should do it to get a real chance finding them. After all I can say TEW was much fun. Sure I needed to debug and keep my eyes open for potential bugs in the engine... and some happened... often because TEW levels *str...

zico

First of all: Thanks for the hints for the Yellow Key :) Now I've finally beaten it. I can only say the levels kept a nice structure - one I liked it. From level 21 ... the game got VERY cruel. Masses of bots and never a quit minute. Level 23 just cost be 3 lives just because I *tried* to rush into ...

zico

Okay here is my half-way resume about THE ENEMY WITHIN. I am currently stuck at level 16... and I just cannot find the Yellow key. Anyone? :) Sorry if I do not talk about each level seperately. I just talk about what comes to my mind. But so far I am impressed that each level actually kept the descr...

Actuaslly this whole system EA just uses is really sad, right. Howeve rit's just a pure consequence of the system you (not me :)) all used for years. When you normally \"buy\" a software, you do not buy, you just \"buy the license to use it\". EA is doing nothing else than to mak...

zico

(as a linux user) what makes crossover superior to wine? Actually nothing. On the contrary. Maybe it has some more success running programs now, but as Linux user you should just stay away from binary programs if you can. If you update your system somehow, binary programs will be the first (measure...

zico

Also it doesn't help in the least that the Cell is not compatible with x86 so it can't run any useful operating systems or applications outside of an emulator which is ridiculously slow on any platform. Linux runs on Cell with no problems... where we are back to server again... well.. guess that's ...

zico

Then tell him exactly that. If he won't listen to what you actually concerns (which is better than just trying to spoil his fanboy-behaviour) then he might never listen. If he ACTUALLY thinks like: \"buying PS3s instead of quad-core PCs for usage as servers\" he does not really know anythi...

zico

Ah besides some small obstacles you can always expect with such moves, all went fine.

A bit handwork is always needed, but in case I have overseen something, do not hesitate to inform me if anything does not run smooth.

zico

Hey folks and admins. Long story short: Due massive problems ... DXX-Rebirth moved. So http://www.dxx-rebirth.de is outdated (only holds redirect as long as it's still there). The new URL to the DXX-Rebirth project now is: http://www.dxx-rebirth.com Please update your bookmarks as I do not know how ...

zico

DFW I see no reason why you should explain yourself. You released a big levelset which beats the original game campain. Fact. You made it for challenged players. Fact. Players will always whine. Same will many players enjoy it. You can never please anyone, but those you cannot are always the loudest...

zico

Time I have to play this set ... As the worst player alive - if I can beat it on TRAINEE, it's okay I think. :D However no matter the critics, I am so proud we finally get some kind of AddOn set besides Vertigo - even for FREE. :) And as for the critics... I may whine about it as well (I bet I do), ...

zico

Thanks Kyouryuu - you are exactly expressing my feelings. If anyone, the thanks shoudl really go to: Sekmu for making D1X out of the D1 code and Bradley Bell for making D2X out of the D2 code They made the first steps. DXX would never have been possible without their work. Also: the COMMUNITY - YOU ...

zico

Yes, that is a point... maybe they smell money since they know there are chances again to play the games on modern PCs... For me it's a VERY disappointing action... Making money with a product far older than 10 years ... Look at it like this: which would you prefer, that Descent 1 and 2 are still o...

zico

I recall 0.53 had a possible memory problem with the thief, but that should be gone in 0.54.

zico

You should get music if you compile Rebirth with sdlmixer=1 and install Timidity and a good soundfont as well.

Howeve rI think we go a bit off topic here so if anyone has specific Rebirth problems, please use the designated forum. Thanks.

zico

I will run this levelset within he next days to see what's all wrong with Rebirth.

Nothing should take Rebirth down. Even if a level is totally corrupt, Rebirth should display an error (it doesn't but I want to have it like that). Since I this levelset has been tested, it's mostly a Rebirth bug.

zico

Looks GREAT! Pardon me for being an idiot, but could you post a little more detail on installing it? Got D2, got the exe, and then... thanks hehe, me too. I feel like an idiot. I extracted the mission files to /usr/share/games/d2x (where the rest of the d2 data files are) but can't figure out how t...

zico

My hope: Let them finally release D1 and D2 data files as FREEWARE. I do not really cared about anything beyond D2... Seeing as they just started selling them again at gog.com. I doubt very much they'd turn around and give it away for free. Yes, that is a point... maybe they smell money since they ...

zico

Thx for the hint.

zico

I'll offer it in different formats if possible. For Linux users it will be lzma which is way smaller than closed-rar.

No matter. I'll host it, soon and send DFW the links to spread.

zico

Hey tunnelcat. Yeah I guess using AF settings on your card would not currently make a difference, but I would try to support ir if possible in further releases. For the VSync question I would definetly recommend using it. The homing missiles are - for example - not bound to FPS anymore so it doesn't...

zico

If DFW allows me I would like to mirror a ZIP-Version of the LEvelset for all those who use non-Windows systems to play it. I take care about the webspace and also would provide a Download link with all credits on my page.

zico

Congratulations for a great release.

I would love to play it... if DFW would provide it in a non-EXE format, for those who do not play on Windows. :/

zico

Could be more critical in other versions where you cannot save items for later use, right? Possibly unplayable difficult? I can't say - I even suck at ROOKIE

zico

I need to re-check that. If you face such a level, can you PM me the name of it? I would be interesed in the structure.... I know a homer once could not hit me... I was surprised when I heard the locking sound all the time but no impact...
