nice!

Behind one of the grates is a 20x20 wall, open this wall and there is a control panel you need to break. That's just one of them. Many of the secrets in this level are like this - you need to break panels that are hidden behind walls hidden behind grates/forcefields. They're almost impossible to fin...

That was awesome, too bad they took the original link down. I'll host it again if I can find some space...

Im using Windows XP and I never was able to get the high-res textures to work.

ServU FTP is an excellent choice. It has many options, but is easy enough to set up a very simple and effective FTP site for yourself. We use it professionally on all of our servers here at work.

Our cat is extremely vocal and plays fetch with us. But only with this one little stuffed toy cat. He meows like crazy when we bring it out.

Sniper

Create a new directory and install DXX into that directory. Then copy over the appropriate files from your D2 Vertigo directory over to the new directory. Read the readme that came with DXX it tells you how to do it.

So you mean you want to see the rating for each level without actually clicking on the level to view the details screen?

If you're making them out of wood, I think they deserve to be finished off with a good sanding and paint. You can do it!

Sniper

In Photoshop, go to: Window > Channels This will bring up your channels pallete and you should see red green blue etc. Click the \"Create a new channel\" button. This will make a new channel and stick you into channel editing mode. Create a greysclae bumpmap here. You can copy and paste wh...

The fit and finish isn't all that great; but you do have the skills to physically build it with it's geometry/etc. It looks like the medium you're using isn't too good. Find a medium that you're comfortable with and can make look really nice, and you will go far! Suggestion: You said you used wood? ...

Sniper

That looks really awesome. I really like the angle on those intake fans!

Sniper

OK GUYS! It's back up! I'm so sorry - again. I'll make up for it with new features

Sniper

I am so sorry guys. It is within my control, normally, but not for the past week - I am on vacation and do not have access to the server. I made preparations so that the server wouldn't go down, but I think there was some storms, and the server is off. It will resume this Sunday (3-25)

Sniper

And don't forget about the new DMDB:
http://www.enspiar.com/dmdb/

Check it in there and you can keep it up to date!

Can't hit ok. The game crashes.

Sniper

I think people are just frustrated that this game is being advertised here on the BB as a real game, as a professionally made game, and with all the bells and whistles a typical game has. You know, like Half-Life, or Quake, or heck even Descent. I'm not saying it isn't any of these things; I'm the l...

UPDATE:

Registered users to can now jump right to the edit mission screen from the home page by simply clicking on a mission that's theirs. Also added the option to enter notes for the mission when adding a mission.

Sniper

Level notes are available, but were difficult to find. If they could somehow be added when the level is uploaded it would be preferable. (In fact some way to edit your own missions without going through Account Info would be great too.) I can add level notes to the add mission page no problem. Also...

Sniper

Sniper, you need not chase down a pilot to look at their graphic in D3 on their ship. Just hit F7 and hit page up/down and highlight their name in the list it will show tight there in the players list Yes, this is exactly what I am referring to. I think this is the best way to do it. BUT to NOT sho...

As opposed to the current rating system? You need to login to see the rating system. Only registered members can rate the missions.

Sniper

UPDATE: I've changed the password box to a real password box, by request. I figured people probably aren't scrambling to look over your shoulder to hack into your DMDB account, but if you're at work - it could be a problem. FEATURE REQUEST: What does everyone think about the idea of registered users...

Sniper

So far you have constantly been saying "no no no" and then silently doing it anyway. :) I am making adjustments when people give me constructive criticism in a calm human manner. I don't make changes immediately based upon one's personal wishes. This has held true for anyone on this threa...

Sniper

Aux, didn't know that this applied to his levels too.

Sniper

Diedel, Provisions have been made so that virtually anyone can upload a level with a screenshot. You can use gif, jpg or png. If you like the DMDB, and want to offer suggestions please do so. But please leave your insults as to everyone elses lower superiority and intelligence at the door - no one w...

Nice. LOL

Diedel, I got this when I tried playing your boiling point mission:

It's ok, then don't. I didn't build the DMDB for you. I built it for everyone. And if the majority of people have problems saving 640x480 files at 120kb or less I will change this.

Sniper

Diedel, As requested. Here's how you properly do file conversion: Your original file (162.5KB): http://www.enspiar.com/images/fileExample/lor.gif My conversion to .gif (119.48KB): http://www.enspiar.com/images/fileExample/exmaple.gif My conversion to .png (119.33KB): http://www.enspiar.com/images/fi...

Sniper

How so? Thats only an issue for those using internet explorer trying to view a png with transparency . If you're worried about people being able to utilize the PNG format, thats not an issue either. Even MS Paint can save to PNG. Its basically JPEG without the ugliness. btw Diedel, recheck the site...

Sniper

Diedel, you know where to send it. My emails on the profile page at the DMDB.

UPDATE:
I've changed the requirement for screenshots:

They MUST be 640x480
They MUST be less than 120KB
They MUST be .gif or .png format

Sniper

I have decreased color depth to 256 bit colors, i.e. 8 bits/pixel. Going deeper will make them look awful. Some images still have slightly over 120 KB, some even 140 KB. You're not doing it right then. Send me the image and I'll do it for you. Btw, your site didn't say the images have to be 640x480...

Sniper

Sniper, I couldn't upload 512x384 sized gifs, which I had to do to satisfy the size limit imposed by your uploader. You either need to relax the dimensions or size restrictions (or even better, allow jpg). Also, standard text is hard to read. I mean, c'mon: Light gray on dark gray? Better make it c...

Sniper

Diedel, I added your link to my links page - sorry for overlooking your Web site. .zip only for now, but .rar will come soon! Yes, you can edit/delete your mission. You can edit your screenshot and mission.zip (or .rar in the future ;)) I also added the .gif ONLY tag on the add mission page. This wa...

Sniper

Koolbear, just so you and everyone else is aware of this..the DMDB is updated on a per-developer basis. This means that only the developers of the mission can upload their missions. This is how the DMDB differs from any current Mission \"archive\" like the PD.com one. So for instance, I co...

I used Vista last year when it was available to those who have MSDN accounts. It worked OK except for a few Web development issues (IIS etc). I'm going to wait several years (like any other Windows OS) for the dust to settle and then use vista.

Sniper

Dude. That angled box room is so simple, yet so awesome looking. Very cool!

Sniper

It looks very similar, but wider and flatter?

Sniper

Uhmm... yeah it looks good but I think you need to check up on the readability of some parts. http://www.enspiar.com/dmdb/members.php Can barely spot that there are column headings on my monitor, and it's fairly bright. Suggest a lighter font. I kept the column headings dark, almost unreadable beca...
