since i'm new what i have to say may not carry much weight. here goes anyway. 1st kb has worked very hard to make the changeover to the new server. WHICH WAS A NECESSITY! while doing so i believe he decided that after 7 years, some things needed changing and perhaps a new look. who's to say that the...

interesting. here on the east coast (if that has anything to do with it) 12-4 at 4am est it was very speedy. now at 12-5 12:15 it is still speedy.

as with so many things, "your mileage may vary" 1st if your head is seriously screwed up, you will most likely screw it up worse taking any legal/illegal drug. 2nd unless you are cautious, do some research (books, close friend's experiences, observation) and have a supplier you really can ...

it's a "parachute replacement" invention idea i'm working out some rough feasability numbers for. nasa did something similar for mars lander. perhaps they've got speed/mass/volume tables for earth gravity. i didn't look too hard but this article is specifically about the cushioned landing...

when moving between cubes and the sides within a cube, the texture tool doesn't always update as the focus changes. if the texture is the same, you can be fooled into changing the wrong light level or 1st/2nd texture. right now i have to switch the shading off/on a couple of times to make sure the h...

the main concern i have for now is if i publish a *.ham/*.hxm containing replacement robots, how could anyone use them if they have already customized some robots and have an existing *.ham/*.hxm within their *.rl2? How can the files be merged without anyone losing their current changes? i think som...

jakee308

what i'm concerned about is if SOMEONE ELSE wants to use my robot. btw what i have constructed is actually a turret that can act as a stationary camera object(diedel has implemented robots as camera triggers) or as an armed security turret. i have already made a test model and it works (just looks f...

jakee308

i thought this was about creating textures/artwork etc? no? oops i guess if somebody agrees they'll move it.

jakee308

well i've been side tracked by wanting a special robot. as soon as i get my network setup correctly, i'll be doing just that. it's thnxgiving so it'll be next wk. meanwhile i need some info on the *.hxm files.

jakee308

being new to most d2 editing, i have a lot of questions that have probably been addressed. I have not been able to find them by searching. am looking for hints on how to create see through textures for d2. whatever i do the color used in the see thru area doesn't disappear. is it a file type problem...

jakee308

oopsy, yeah the *.rl2 file is what i meant.

i'm asking "how to add custom robots when a custom robot file *.hxm already is present in the *.rl2 for the level?" is that clearer?

jakee308

maybe not place for this. let me know where would be better. ? about importing a *.hxm file into hog file. what if you already have custom robots defined then want to import a *.hxm file for a replacement robot.as i understand it the *.hxm has to be same name as hog. so can't have 2 hxm's in hog. ho...

jakee308

segments? meaning cube numbers?
Edit
if segment = cube then 272,5 + 273,6 and 308,1 + 307,3 = walls to close.

triggers =
#21 = 306,1
#20 = 274,5

jakee308

btw, this is latest and almost the last version of my intro level. the walls i am speaking of are in the "yellow" area. in 2 tunnels leading up to fan shaped cavern. there's a fan, grilles, grid type doors in this level so you can also see the blue/cyan shading. http://box.net/public/jakee...

jakee308

yep it comes and goes. reloading the level sometimes makes it work.

jakee308

if the only provider you can get charges an arm and a leg, well then you start sawing or fall asleep while downloading big files or viewing a really busy page.

jakee308

1. still wondering about some of the see-thru textures having a cyan background (believe it was white before) and having a cyan color around the see thru openings in the game. re: the grated door, the fan, the grill. the prisoner door doesn't have it.? this appeared about 2-3 versions ago. i'm prett...

me i despise windows (although xp is stablest of all so far). i LIKE the IDEA of linux but there's too many different flavors and builds and this one is compatible with that one but not that other one. first time i tried it was with a commercial version. i figured ok, they've got the bugs out and i ...

1500/384. testing comes out to 1100/120 and i'm gonna complain. price depends on what the market will bear. if there's competition the the price is usually a little lower and avgs. about the same for everyone. trouble is the fcc and congress has to f*** with things and only make it worse. in connect...

i'd rather not setup a mine with weapons to find this out:
what does the smart weapon switch do?

jakee308

it's g-house from your site.

jakee308

found my problem with cameras. the default option is cameras off.

that's why my camera wasn't working. pebcak'd again.

there's an d2x-xl question thread in this forum. things have gotten messy so try to post there for op ?'s need to be more specific. how is your auto select section setup. are you clicking change primary or the number hotkey. if you last used the gauss then switched then keyed 2 then gauss will show ...

jakee308

to avoid confusion, i'm not going to edit the prev. this is where i started. 1st the above situation was because of spaces in internal file names and something else. i got to that point because i'm experimenting with cameras i'm not getting something so i'll recap and somebody correct me. 1st pick a...

found problem loading a level from dle-xp. get "gal side type(3), type = 0 segment # = 0" warning and crash but when loaded from game menu, level is ok. posted also in dle questions as i'm not sure it's something i did. other problem: in dle textures look ok but when in d2x-xl they are ske...

jakee308

about cameras; put in a wall, added a trigger. designated a wall in another cube as target. first check mine said that this door has no cube on the other side. redid everything and check mine ok but when run i get a warning: "gal side, type (3), type = 0, segment # = 0" and game exits. (ac...

jakee308

thanks sirius; as i understand it 1. i make comp for game w static address 2. set up the port forwarding to that address got the manual for the router and it's clear enough about port forwarding. the firewall stuff is what's unclear. i don't like the windows security software firewall. would like to...

jakee308

arieligena;

i had a door show up like that. i had put the door in manually and the wall type was wrong(in walls tool) best bet is to put in doors using wall tool button for doors way over on the right. then change the 1st texture to match your wall and the 2nd texture for the type of door you want.

jakee308

TY TY yes! i like the .blx also it is quite handy. so the point was THE POINT. i was wondering if the placement of the current line/point also had anything to do with how the block showed up. sirius thanks for the diplomacy but never assume i know something. the obvious can slip right past me :) tha...

jakee308

this is itty bitty. slider for midi music; can it be a little finer. i like a very low level of music for background. yes i can adjust my volume from the desktop but then when restart d2x-xl i have to do it over as it sets the lowest a little high for me. i can live with it if other stuff is more im...

jakee308

yep still a virgin. with the equip i had i knew i had no chance. now i got equip but skills have gone bye-bye. so will get killed anyway. wtf. 8) it's only a game. :) have figured out that my isp's router is configured with nat. so i've got to make some changes. i know what i have to do to get thing...

jakee308

yes, i tried that way also. i still had problems getting the block to orient itself where i wanted it to be. while the block is highlighted in red you can move it but when you switch to the cube you want to join to, the highlight turns yellow and i don't know how to highlight the block again so i ca...

jakee308

Mr. Perfect, am going thru a similar situation as i have to setup access for a port to play. the router i have says it's reset just resets the password and user name but doesn't reset the settings.

did your reset, reset everything and you had to setup it up all over? just wondering. good luck.

jakee308

BUBBALOU; yes saw that under sticky about kali setup. this gives me some guidelines. what i'd like to know is how to troubleshoot a failure to connect. or at least to know the failure to connect was on the part of my setup. have kali but didn't work for me. i was using the default setup so that mean...

Kyouryuu: that's the same as the manual and help file that came with dmb? it seems to be and yes that's somewhat helpful as a reminder. i'm looking for how to's from anyone about using the new capabilities of d2x-xl. i'll also put anything i find out here. ferno says these type of posts should go he...

jakee308

nope, i don't have the answer. I'm hoping someone will see this and respond with some answers. 1st let me say this. i HAVE NEVER played a multiplayer game of any type over the internet. I have no clue what is involved in setting up as the server or client or how to find a game or how to set up my co...
