ooohh novacro---------n!

The natives are getting restless!!!!

Is that the sounds of drums in the air?

Weyrman

May I also note that people may not want their d2x.ini file overwritten, specially if it has player name in it to start automatically.

Maybe check the date of the unpacking ini file against the existing one and if newer, display both so new ini lines can be copied across. (Or something like that)

Weyrman

This is one of those unimportant cosmetic fixes

In multiplayer -> join via tracker the default screen says UDP (where there was the number string error a little while ago), but when you change ports (pgup/pgdown) it changes to IPX.

Not a big deal I know, but hey!?

here
on my home computer no thumbnails, anywhere else, all thumbnails

go figure!!

edit: I worked it out. ZoneAlarm firewall was blocking the pictures from being shown

Weyrman

Hey guys, my v1.5 will not show me the little thumbnail pictures that are supposed to be there when you add a pic to a post. It's just this machine as the one behind me (literally) shows them fine.

Anyone have any ideas as to what is happening?

Just grabbed 1.5.79 and it knows of no pilots and no save games. The first screen I get is the select pilot window with new pilot highlighted and no names shown. I entered my pilot name, but there were no savegames to be found! :( :( :( going back to 1.5.78 for the moment :) ......... Yep! all games...

v 1.5.75 I was playing coop multiplayer on my home network (as no-one else here is up to my level) and found that I could not direct the other player back to me using the automap as their dot did not move on the map as they did. The little radar maps both show dynamic movement as the automap used to...

This may actually be a bug but I consider it too trivial to actually post it in the bug thread. I notice with a lot of different levels that the hostages have often sunk into the floor almost up to their knees. It's just one of those narky things that looks odd. It may also just be bad positioning b...

Weyrman

also, in addition to the above, the menu option exit square now appears, but in the top left of the total screen, rather than the top left of the menu box frame.

The mouse select of game to restore also doesn't work. Have to use arrow keys to select game

Weyrman

There are many instances where the map shows e.g. a straight section of standard tunnel that you pass through and then fly through a trigger which removes walls from the tunnel behind you, opening pockets filled with robots or powerups. These "walls" showed on the map as standard sides, wh...

Weyrman

Yes, I have the Vertigo series and I assume that i have everything in the right folders Chaos.hog and .msn in data folder and vertigo mission shows up under single.

One small thing, the pre-game munus are missing the mouse-click exit boxes that used to be there.

Weyrman

Not sure if this is a level bug or d2x bug.

Playing BELIAL secret level off level 16 I have got this error message that then shuts down the game.

I have noticed this myself and have found that if you change the socket (page up/down) it reverts to the word IPX

I am currently playing a great mission that is spoiled for me by all the spelling mistakes in the briefings. I find it spoils the professionalism of the mission, no matter how good it is. Yes, I know I'm a spelling nazi, but it REALLY BUGS me! I have a copy of dle-xp and hamm97, but where do I find ...

win 1.5.61 (single)(plutonium mission) I have found that the brightness starts off fine, but if I die, when it respawns, the brightness seems to be at minimum and the slider doesn't seem to work. With or without the gamma toggle set. I also find that the map changes to red lines with the close areas...

Win 1.5.44 plays Wonderfully!! just one small thing, all the savegames on the load game screen show 1-1-1970 10:00 AM for the date stamp.

All I need is to be able to play multiplayer and all will be great!

Edit: Got MULTIPLAYER to WORK!!!!!!!!!

Weyrman

I have downloaded what should be 1.5.41 twice today, once before work and once after and I get 1.5.40. Could you please look into this.

Weyrman

1.5.40 Win on xp Texture Error = Fixed Compressed automap and incorrct res = Fixed Primary weapon cannot be set to any other than weapon 1. Started with laser that upgraded and had it auto select super laser when I got one but would not go to gauss cannon when I got it. Buttons can be set in options...

1.5.36 Game now loads but level and automap problems remain unchanged as notated above

Weyrman

Hi, I have just downloaded 1.5.35 Win. On starting, the screen goes to black as if starting and then flicks back to the desktop within a second or 2. All other versions load as normal. The last three versions have had the automap condensed to the left half of the screen and runs at a different resol...

Weyrman

OK sorry for not making myself clear. In dle, everything looks fine, walls show where they are supposed to be, 2 back to back xxs. When I then test run the mine in d2x, the walls are in place on screen but do not show up on the automap. Wherever I have xxs, the map has nothing, there is no wireframe...

Weyrman

I'm sorry but that is no help at all. Which preference dialog where?

Weyrman

I am using 1.5.15 and any wall I put in does not show on the automap. I have created an octagonal room with with pockets containing robots closed with walls and triggered elsewhere. In the automap, the walls show as hollow spaces, but the pockets don't show, giving away that there is something behin...

Weyrman

Good Luck!

I assume that both computers in your last comment were on the same side of the firewall/router/modem, ie on an internal network. I can get that too quite well and have good games with my sons, but I can't get OUT of the internal network!

But keep trying, one of us may crack it yet!

I actually get the Creation Science magazine and notice that each article notes the author's qualifications and often issuing university, often list employment history and any comments about any published ducument is meticulously footnoted for your own cross referencing.

Natural Selection is the paring down of existing variables until only the optimum variables for the given situation are left .

Or is it what we consider to be the truth?

To carry on a bit from Stingray's comments, no matter how much you want to debate, where you stand on an issue like ID or Evolution depends on your beliefs. ID, by its very nature, points to a creator designer, ie God. Little green men or spores from space arguements are invalid as they rely on evol...

Bug: I notice that in the latest version (don't know about other ones) the 7 and 9 keys on the editor tool bar work opposite to the 7 and 9 keyboard numpad keys.

If I just haven't found the fast way yet, please be gentle as I'm just starting out. The editor allows you to set the absolute xyz position of each of the four points of the current side.

I have in mind to try my hand at a level involving robots that start cloaked and inactive and change to visible and active via you flying through a cube trigger. The point being that they appear without a visible source. ie no new open walls shown on automap or hidden areas that would show on full m...

Hey Sirius, what are the issues you are referring to?

Actually, even a 1 on 1 udp/ip game would be nice!
