Of course if that really happened, it wouldn't be so funny.

How about this one?

^^That's the colored light problem I (may or may not; I can't remember) have been talking about. Either way I noticed it. Jesus Christ, the Rear View doesn't work in some age-old custom missions! Holy crap! That's catastrophical, cataclysmical, that's actually the last sign of Armageddon coming to u...

^^ What he said.

I found out why my D2X-W32 Source code didn't compile, and fixed it. I'm currently going through the code to see if I can "fix" it; if I manage to do that, can you change the code, Diedel?

D3Hack

D3Hack, what was your problem with the cockpit? Alright, let me try to sum it up here: the original D2 (v1.2) had a special algorithm for determining the size and position of the player's viewport based on the cockpit image. The viewport would begin at the position of the leftmost and uppermost tra...

Probably right. I can be that way if I need to keep asking.

D3Hack, Du bist eine NervensÃ¤ge. ;) *Can't read German and thus assumes that he's understanding you correctly (meaning you said that the cockpit thing didn't work)* Darn. I knew I wasn't that lucky. :P :( Whenever I save my Single-Player game, it saves and then completely exits out of the game. Sh...

Just got back to playing D2, and noticed a few things: Certain explosions are rendered as transparent even though the toggle is off. Explosions almost always being at least partially overlapped by walls (Maybe you could fix this by making the shots explode at a slightly farther distance from the wal...

Uh... That should be posted in the D2X-W32 (not DLE-XP) suggestions thread.

Kyouryuu wrote:If my memory serves me correctly, I think briefing colors are actually defined by the palette used for the background image?

Yes, they are. D2 has certain preset color values, and it uses the nearest one in the palette when it encounters the tag.

D3Hack

Certain explosions (i.e. the ones when spreadfire shots hit the wall) are transparent even though "Enable Transparent Explosions" is off.

Also, a suggestion I have would be an option to disable the difficulty slider for those who would want to (such as myself

).

D3Hack

Interesting. Devil remains useful for one thing - if you can get it to work; to this day it appears to be the only level editor that lets you alter reactor shield settings. Shouldn't you be able to do that in the "Advanced Object Data" settings in DMB2? (BTW, those do NOT seem to work in ...

Hack, You're only using DLE-XP to add D2X-W32 enhancements to levels? Now that's surprising. :P Yeah, that's what I'm doing. You know, I probably should try to give DLE-XP more of a chance than I do... Although I do have a problem: zooming in only works to a certain zoom level. Beyond that it won't...

Actually, I'm adding cool D2X-W32 features to my levels as well. However, I only use DLE-XP for doing that stuff.

D3Hack

It's a sad thing that ppl stick with the same few levels they've played the last 10 years instead of trying imo exciting new game modes offered with the gameplay of D2 ... but, ahhhh, I guess I'm a voice in the desert ... :D You're not entirely a voice in the desert... I agree that it's sad that pp...

D3Hack

Diedel, if you want a 'reason' to change rear view dimensions, it sounds like the custom missions Encounter at Farpoint 2 and Obsidian both have bugs when using it... but they are still usable, and they are also a couple of the only missions ever made that DO have custom cockpits anyway. I'd consid...

D3Hack

Tell me why the heck rear view dimensions should be exactly as in D2 (if you're right, that is). It's good enough the way it is, or are you trying to play through D2:CS on insane, using the rear view only, because every other way would be too boring? No, I'm not crazy, the reason why is that it int...

D3Hack

Hack, you're so enthusiastic - why don't you get the source code and start working on it yourself? ;) Hehe... well, I would love to, but I can only program any decent level of stuff in BlitzBasic, not C++. :( I'm trying to learn some C++, though, and maybe I COULD figure something out by looking; l...

D3Hack

Alright, well... sry about that then. I try to research these things before reporting them, but lots of things seem to be escaping my notice... guess I should reaserch a little more before reporting things, eh?

D3Hack

After reading all this HUD talk, I decided to have a look at things... only unusual feature I noticed was that D2X-W32 shrinks the view in rear-view mode as well. Apparently Descent 2 1.2 doesn't... since I managed to find a set with a custom cockpit that shows pretty much the full vertical view th...

D3Hack

Hack, if you are using a cockpit view and use a transparent cockpit image, the part of the screen where the cockpit/status bar would appear will not be rendered, because the viewport for rendering the mine will be made smaller. Wait... you mean that it's SUPPOSED to be like that? :oops: Oh. Well, i...

Hack, I don't even what "HUD" (part) your screen shot is showing. Alright, please excuse my bad use of the term "HUD" for the problem. It's basically the cockpit image, not the HUD. In that screenshot, the transparent pixels below a certain vertical position in the image are bei...

Whenever you load a saved level, custom difficulty overrides the save difficulty. Yeah, well... I consider that a problem! :wink: Ohwell. Sprite problem fixed, credits and black hud problems remain. Beams on the forcefield textures have black outlines... may happen with other textures as well (I'm ...

D3Hack

It's probably late to be asking this after all the work you've done Diedel but I'm wondering if it would be at all possible to allow DLE-XP to function as DMBII did? Meaning, I'm more comfortable working with the overlay popup menu utilities and having a full screen to work with then having my view...

The difficulty slider works exactly as it should. You sure it does? Here's what happens to me: If you don't set it before loading a game, the first game you load is fine. But the ones after that aren't. Unless my hardware hates me... :? the only way to fix movie quality setting for the intro movie ...

D3Hack

When loading a saved game, the difficulty selected in "Gameplay Options" takes precedence over the difficulty stored in the saved game. Instead it should be changed to what's stored in the save game, just like it does when starting a game. Also, black pixels on sprites (such as powerups) s...

I have checked the FF toggle 3 times at least due to other players' requests, and everytime I did I found it working properly and the right way round. Hmm... odd. Now it IS supposed to prevent you from damaging eachother when unchecked, right? Maybe it has to do with the IPX code, or maybe the coop...

The latter is probably not a bug. Look for -playermessages in your d2x.ini file; if you actually want those messages, remove it. Well, yeah, uh... THAT WOULD HELP! Duh! :roll: Speaking of d2x.ini, howcome there are two instances of "-norendundancy" in the one that comes with D2X-W32? One ...
