Sirius: You have a very good memory and yes that is the version of D2x that I am still using and with no problems.

Duper: The version that I use is not glitchy at all and has worked fine for me for several years. This version does not need a high end system.

BUBBALOU: \"How generous you are, you ...

Tigeron

Thank you all for posting a reply so fast.

when I read the post that mentioned the Vertigo disk,
I remembered the installation procedure I used.

I used the original D2 disk and during installation I accidentally selected the Verge drivers. I went back and deleted the D2 directory and installed ...

Tigeron

I installed D2 on a friends computer and found the D2 menu text unreadable. It seems like the first character of each line is repeated like so:

For Trainee: TTTTTTTTTTT
For Rookie: RRRRRRRRRR

and etc. This happens on all D2 menu screens. The text is also skewed very much to the left and in between ...

Tigeron

Your poll only let me vote one time.
I voted for D1 then tried to vote for D2
and only get the results page. So I think
that might be a reason that you have a
high percentage for D1 results. Maybe I
should go look for the cookie that appears
to be planted in my computer!!

I only played D1 ...

Diedel:

Tested version 1.3.30
In a Hoard game with Fast Respawn enabled there is no spew left where the palyer died. The spew appears where the player respawns but that player cannot see the spew or the orb. Other players in the game can see the spew and orb.

I saw orbs that disappeared as if ...

Vesion 1.3.27

Unable to edit macros in a multiplayer game.
Pressing shift+F9 results in a message prompt and the sending of the message instead.

Tigeron

Diedel:

Made a new player file and that seemed to take care of the percentage problem in ver 1.3.27. Thank you again

Tigeron

Diedel:

Just tried ver 1.3.27

The effiency calculations are still messed up.
Numbers are increasing as before.

Tigeron

Diedel:

Sorry about this report....but you almost got it right (Smile).

In version 1.3.24 and 1.3.25 the percentage that is calculated from kills and deaths is not correct.

Player #1 = 2 kills
Player #2 = 1 kill

Player #1 = 202%
Player #2 = 100%

Tigeron

Diedel:

In version 1.3.23 when selecting a Hoard game the resulting game is a Team Hoard game. All else seems to work OK.

Tigeron

Diedel:
Should have stated that the number of kills displayed for each player in a multiplayer game stays at 0 (zereo) in version 1.3.22.

Tigeron

Diedel:

Version 1.3.22

Cannot select and keep setting to have weapons auto select.

In multiplayer games I have no kill scores on the screen.

All else seems to function correctly.

Diedel:

Friendly fire:

In single player you can enable and disable the option with no problem. With the box checked you can inflict damage upon yourself. It would seem that this box works backwards. Unchecked should disable it and checked should enable it.

In multiplayer you can always inflict ...

Version 1.3.8:

Hoard works great now....thank you.
When I am killed the screen has a red tinge to it until I pick up a power-up.

Zapp:
make a new player file.
In the ini file, Rem out ";" full screen until you make your player file.
Make sure the player file named in the ini file is also Remed out ...

No Hoard:

Tried playing Hoard last night and no goal nor any green orbs. That was with version 1.3.2

Went back to ver 1.1.46 and Hoard was working.

Tested the following versions with a single player.
Tried successive versions of what I had and it seems that the last working version for Hoard is 1 ...

Tigeron

Just tried ver 1.2.8

FPS went from 50 to 33.

Cannot increase fps by lowering resolution anymore,
(800 X 600 is still 33 fps).

When I engage 3D video stereo fps drops another 14 frames. Use to only drop 2 or 3 fps.

No Radar in single player.

In the first graticule there is no text, has a green ...

bad bug in 1.2.6 and 1.2.7

at times when you drop a load (4) bombs, the first and second bomb can at times be smart mines.

This appears to happen only in multiplayer mode. Could not get it to happen in single player mode.

this has happened with two different levels...your tomb level and ...

Tigeron

If I understand correctly then an old player file should not show up your new addition (Zoom) for example. But I do see your additions. Maybe since the player file is used on say an older version without the addition that was there prevents the file from working on the older version...That makes ...

Tigeron

Just tried out 1.2.5 in multiplayer.

I get the error that the map is not the same version.
it did let me into the game but then kicked me back out.

before when I received this error I could not get into the game at all, which would be correct if the maps were not the same.

Still using 1.1.46

Tigeron

Diedel:

One thing I have noticed regarding player files
It seems if you use your player file on a newer version of D2X-W32 then what you are currently using, you have problems if you try to use it on the previous vesion.

Example:
you are running on say version 1.1.43 then you run the same player ...

Tigeron

Multiplayer mode through kali:

With version 1.2.0 I nor others could not enter a game. The error was that the map version is not the same as the other players in the game.

Tried 1.2.3 last night.
I could enter a game but then would be kicked out of the game.

The changes that were made to prevent ...

Tigeron

AAHHH......15-0, 20-1...why that is normal when I play a 1 on 1. And no, I am not the 15 or the 20. Just because I cant get the kills up does not mean the other is cheating. I fly pretty good but just can't shoot worth a darn...It takes a pilot to be good a both to get your score up.

I was in a ...

Tigeron

Thank you Diedel:

I had run a comparrision with the regualar win95.exe of d2 and it would give me small flashes but never completely washed out the screen like when getting hit with a flash missile. I am looking forward to your update.

What would be real nice is an audio cue when your shields or ...

Tigeron

It seems that when I pick up several power-ups in quick succession (5 or 6) the screen washes out like a flash missile. I am blinded for several seconds. Had not noticed this problem before.

Is it possible to limit the amount of saturation so we are not blinded?

Tigeron

Diedel:
Version 1.1.41

Hoard Damage:
The ping problem that you fixed seems to also have fixed the problem with Hoard Mode. Tested version 1.1.41 and damage can now be inflicted and taken. Great job.

Player file:
I used an old player file (Pre 1.1.39), actually much older, and it works just fine ...

Tigeron

Diedel:

I seem to have a problem with version 1.1.39 exe.
99% of the time I cannot select the player and have the game start. Made a new player file with the same results. Several hundered bytes seem to get added to the size of the player file.

Using an old fresh player file that was used on ...

Tigeron

Diedel:

I have been more than happy to help. If I can do
anything specific just let me know.

Just made a test of the ping problem. It works
both ways now..Had to use win95 version of D2 on my laptop for the test. Can't seem to even get my laptop into the game with d2x so will have to wait for the ...

press F8 then type in:

ping:xxx

where xxx is players name or first letter of their name.

no space between the ":" and their name

ping:tigeron

I made another edit to the previous reply (hubs & routers)

Tigeron

Just a suggestion Diedel:

Maybe your service provider offers free dial up accounts or lacking that, maybe get a free or trial dial up account to use for testing. That is assuming you have more than one computer. That is the way I do my testing through Kali. I cannot move around very well with my ...

Tigeron

In Hoard Mode you are unable to kill or inflict any damage to your oponent.

Anarchy and Flag seem to work normally.

Tested through Kali.

Tigeron

In an earlier post (this thread above) I had a problem with rehosting a game on a socket other than 0 after playing a game. The problem was solved by me installing the Vertigo series. Yes I had thought that I installed it but I had not. So everyone....be sure to install yours.

Tigeron

This version (1.1.28.0) would bounce me back out of a game and back to the socket that was displaying the game
that i tried to join through Kali. Never actually made it into the game.

Also I tried hosting a flag game through kali and was bounced back to the menu instead of the game starting. in ...

Tigeron

I was doing my testing through Kali. Maybe that is somehow making a difference. I am running XP pro. also.

Tigeron

I did some more testing a few minutes ago.
1. if you select say socket -3.
2. play game.
3. exit game then start new game.
4. under the More Options menu select another socket
other than what is shown, ie. -4, 2, etc.
5. Back up one menu then select More Options again.
6. reselect your original ...

Tigeron

Diedel:
Yes I guess right and left views would be a cheat.

Better leave that out then as we don't need any of that.

One thing I have noticed and this seems to be a left over from Bradley Bells version is that if you select a socket other than 0; play the game, exit the game and start a new one ...

Tigeron

What I think would be a great addition is to have a window on the right and left side of the screen so you could see in those directions without turn to look. you should be able to resize the windows and maybe repostion them also.

Tigeron

It works great now Diedel.
And a big thank you to you.

Tigeron

Downloaded the latest version, 1.1.17.0

I would assume that the problem is with the server as it occurrs during IPX Net Game Option Setup.

Still cannot select a negative socket (-3) when setting up options for a IPX Network game. I don't have a web page or I would post screen shots. I do not see ...
