for those of you able to read a bit of german, this is a link to an offical homepage of the \"bayern\" (1 state of germany) ministry of interior with some backgroung information about what and why they think there is something wrong with scientology. looks like they have them categorized a...

ugly mug contest? i am in

DigiJo

reminds me of the cargolifter project that they had a while back here in germany. they tried to build giant cargo-zeppelins for oversea containers, but unfortunately ran out of funds in dev-stage.

is Warren Spector on board? i mean, ultima underworld, system shock 1 + 2, deus ex 1, that guy knows how a game should be.

DigiJo

248 dimensions? cant map so many axis to my joystick

but to be more serious, if i recall right in theory vector-math can handle as much dimensions as you want.

DigiJo

a fly. would trichord the whole day through the living room, doing fancy stunts. then die in peace to get back into real life. hehe

you could try to post on planetdescent.com:

Aenn Seidhe Priest, the maker of pyromania is posting on the boards there every onces in a while.

btw. the last pyromania was based on d3 1.5

I recon souls do not exist. I also recon there is no god. I recon that our notion of humans having a "soul" is just our inability to admit that we are just incredibly complex automatons, like self-programming evolving computers. that probably hits the nail on the head, but the conclusion ...

DigiJo

yes its from Dark Star, one of my favourite movies too. that dialouge between sergeant pinback and bomb #20 is just classic, and i thought it fits the picture perfect!

DigiJo

Grendel: Hello, Bomb? Are you with me? Bomb #20: Of course. Grendel: Are you willing to entertain a few concepts? Bomb #20: I am always receptive to suggestions. Grendel: Fine. Think about this then. How do you know you exist? Bomb #20: Well, of course I exist. Grendel: But how do you know you exist...

i just came back from sweden, was there for a little vacation. that country is really a beauty. (ah well, and odin-beer isnt that expensive there...hehe)

DigiJo

hey killsu2, welcome back

if you are board, just switch on your notebook and make some new levels for d3

DigiJo

eeek, level 12 endboss... *must charge fusion*

speed of light is not 186000 miles per hour , its 186000 miles per SECOND. that would be 669600000 mph (in vacuum). einsteins theory only said that something with mass would need infinite energy to travel at the speed of light, and that is verifyed. mass is energy and energy is mass, you can convert...

have a look at this thread on descentforum.de: http://www.descentforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3549 ouch made a simple .x to .orf converter a while ago for blender. from the converted .orf it should be easy to get your pyro ready into d3 with supersheeps oof-editor. i havent tested this converter y...

i apologize for flipping the wrong switch when i was on vacation in tschernobyl 1986, man i thought it was the table-light, really.

psi, what level is that from the resination_movement.wmv? it looks really familiar to me. i think i have played a lot of d3-games in that one. if i recall right that one was a great level, released not so long ago but wasnt very popular to most players cause of lack of the md? well i could swear i h...

i dont like mouselook as well, for me if mouselook is enabled descent doesnt feel like \"descent\" anymore, this strange combination of an flightsim-rollercoaster-actionshooter that makes descent so fun and unique is gone. in the case of mp-competition.. loooong time ago i joined a vv serv...

DigiJo

hmm munk, maybe we can combine our orders? than KB needs to ship only 1 big paket to germany and you pass it on to me?

btw forgot to thank you KB and Grendel for the great work on this converter, that thing compares to the invention of sliced bread

DigiJo

i usually create maps around 1024x1024 or even double that size from uv-mapping, then paint it and when it looks fine, resize it in photoshop or psp to the usual 128x128 that d3 needs. makes a huge difference and is way easier to create.

DigiJo

if that doesnt sound like a good buy, what else does? put me down for 1 full unit please, kb

DigiJo

its name is POLYgone, its not triangle. -Poly, a prefix often meaning more than one or many. d3 supports polygones with up to 64 vertices, however, if a polygone has more then 32 vertices in any given mesh d3 might crash. (if i recall that right, long time ago i helped someone here from the dbb, can...

24/7/365 would cost 460 € per year, thats about 500 US$ me thinks.

38 now, got in touch with d1 shareware when i bought my first PC, a Intel 286, 16Mhz with 4?Mb ram. bought the full thing and later d2 of course. was really hooked with that robot hunting, but never got in touch with multiplayer. playing via modem was just way to expensive back in that days. then i ...

yes messenjah, the effects in metropolis_gt are the effects testi created.he was so kind to let me use them back when i made that thing. they looked so cool and needed allmost no extra resources when it comes to fps. however there was one mod with real oof-shells ejected from the vauss-barrels and d...

yes, we had a big fun game in it. it´s best hosted in ctf-mode, 10 players max, 10 pps, a respawnrate of 20 to 30 and all ships disabled except the pyrogl. the pyrogt replaces the gl in that level and its a lightbit weaker then the regular d3 ships, so if all players use the gt only its big fun and ...

ouch, there are older versions in the zip as well.. -smine_ac.oof -> active mine modell without rotation flag, no gunpoints (d3 specific) -smine_ac_gun.oof -> active mine modell, no rotation, with gunpoints -smine_ac_gun2.oof ->active mine modell with gunpoints and rotation flag (means the modell ro...

i once did a smartmine for LL-Dark and LL-Atan. they used it for a d3-singleplayer project. it contains full uv-mapped and textured powerup-modell, active-mine modell, animated textures for the homing blobs and the hud-icon. http://digijo.de/smartmine/smartmine.jpg maybe you want to use it: http://d...

DigiJo

hmm usually powerups are set in the tablegam, the value \"ammocount\" defines how many you get. for the ProxMinePowerup the value is set to zero, i guess cause of all the mine-types in d3 are robots, as the proxmine is. maybe the amount you get is hard coded in the modul generic.dll or in ...

i´d rather see things positiv, maybe core descion rocks hard, then i can wait even a year longer, doesnt matter.

the smart way to kill him is if you let your guidebot pick up the antivir powerup. (i think it was called that way) there are several hidden in L15. with that powerup your guidebot can disable the helion for a short while and killing him is like a walk in the park. if you need to use primarys, use t...

the modelling is the easier part, now go uv-map and texture that neat stuff

anyway, thats some good work tempest.

outstanding moon, the best descent singleplayer guide is back

i doubt that such a thing exists (in a good working condition, that is) d2 and d3 are just way to different for such a converter. take the portal system from d3, or cubes vs. polygones, the scripting systems, lighmaps textures etc. even if there was a converter it would be so much work to finetune t...
