If you don't like all the \"fluff\" in XL, then turn it off. It can be done with a simple switch setting in the ini file. Have a look at the switches and commands page on the above site and try the -nostalgia or -pureD2 settings.

Bettina, your comment actually highlights a very important part of “biblical” faith
Quite clearly, "faith" (as used in the Bible) is meant to convey an EARNED TRUST rather than a BLIND TRUST.

Faith in your father would have been built up over your relationship with him, from as simple as "he ...

I corrected the name of the OOF file and loaded up level 1 of CS. The vulcan ammo surrounding the vulcan cannon looks out of proportion. The shells look too big to fit in the barrel. I would like to see them shrunk to a suitable size and maybe have more shells in the clip so that the powerup doesn't ...

A few weeks ago, fizzle RSS reader in firefox started playing up only with the link for here. The new items show for a split second and then the page goes all one colour and won't work until I reload the page.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled fizzle and also deleted and re-downloaded the active ...

Weyrman

Yes, yes, I know. The thing is I didn't know if it was a bug. I don't consider things bugs unless I am pretty sure that something is wrong, which in this case I wasn't sure, which is why I asked for an opinion.

As it is considered to be a possible bug I will now go and post a bug report.

Weyrman

I loaded the above vulcan model and the gauss cannon side by side in a room under a light so I could compare the sizes. It looked to me that the vulcan model was not being lit by the light so I added a headlight and took another look.

The room itself seemed light enough where the cannon was that ...

Weyrman

No, I didn't mean spinning, I meant round as in cylindrical as in the round bodies of the missiles. I know the current ones look pretty round but you can see all the segment seams and it just doesn't look as good (eye candy wise).

Weyrman

What is the benefits of having 3d models of things over graphics? I must admit that the new hi-res powerups are very nice to look at and as the models don't seem to do rounds very well so don't look as nice.

I have picked up that the models have less memory load and also throw shadows. Are these ...

Weyrman

Ok, I stand corrected and humbled. As the level of difficulty goes up, the robots become more aggressive in their nature. I was too used to the small ones sniping and running and recently I have upped the difficulty level and didn't realize that this was now standard behaviour, I just considered it ...

Weyrman

I have just finished level 1 of Lost Levels and I have a question concerning robot behaviour which was really noticeable in this level but I have also noticed in standard D2. Robots, particularly smaller ones seem to wizz away, often towards me, when hit with a glancing blow from primary weapons ...

Hey Diedel,

What are these SSE instructions that are causing the grief on win32 machines. What difference does using them make?

Just curious.

In reference to some of the comments above:

Many of the \"errors\" in our genetic codes are, in engineering terms, within tolerance and I would say, that while \"different\" by definition, not different enough to considered \"wrong\". Also, the fact that we get our dna half/half from our parents ...

Oh, didn't think about putting it in the tech forum,
anyways......
the new format of the ini file gets screwed up when I open it with notepad and descent doesn't read it.

Diedel, suggested Ultra Edit, which I got, but after the trial time runs out I don't want to buy it if I can use a freeware file ...

Can someone point me to a freeware text editor that will edit d2x.ini without corrupting it please.

Some thoughts of mine:

This has been a very interesting read, but referring back to the original post, the children, irrespective of age, were being taught language, and the words are either right or wrong.

I have now 4 teenage children and all their life we (my wife and I) have gently corrected ...

Great work on the thruster flames Diedel. Every change just makes it look better and better!

Hey all,

I am playing through my single player games, currently doing Encounter at Farpoint. I am on the last (5th) level. It has no robots, only 1 (seemingly) inaccessable powerup and three keys. I can get to the blue key but there is no blue door, no exit door, no hidden rooms (I've checked with ...

Diedel,

Will d2x-xl support a pc usb gamepad device?

I'm looking at ratting one to make a throttle with the pov hat under my thumb for slide controls.

Weyrman

While looking at joysticks for a young friend, I saw a flight stick-throttle combo that had amongst other things a 8-way pov switch under the thumb on the throttle. It occurred to me that that would be a great setup for slide controls!

I would like to try and create a throttle with the following ...

Weyrman

Thanks Diedel,

I've finally got to try it with .176 and it's great to have all the hi res textures back.

My teenagers are still trying to be in denial. His shows were a big part of their childhoods.

Ok Diedel,

here is the details you requested. I am posting this info here as I don't consider this a bug problem, just a \"lack of\" on my behalf.

Well, the time has finally come where the memory requirements for the ever increasing, beautiful hi-res graphics has outstripped my computer. I now have to disable hi res in order to play a decent sized level. I suppose I could remove some of the files so as to only load some of them, but which ones ...

Weyrman

Diedel,

What is a .frag file and where should it live in a multi folder scenario?

Also, what about the SDL .dll files?

Weyrman

Well, its done! I bought a dsl-g604t on ebay today for $99, I should have it by the weekend (I hope!)

Weyrman

ok what would you recommend? I can't afford to do this twice

Hey Aus,

About the modem, I am getting a Netgear DG834T adsl2+ wireless router modem for father's day, so here is hoping that it solves my problems as your upgrade did.
As far as firmware is concerned, if it can, I will, so yes I do have the latest.

Another multiplayer question

I have played a few games online with Aus-Red5.

This means that I can see the tracker and join games shown.

BUT

When I start a game, the system finds the trackers and I can get into the game, but no-one else can see it! Even if I start another instance of the game, I ...

Tempest, don't get your hopes up. This is a real first for me, more wish than ability I think, but I will give it a go!

I would like to try my hand at creating a hi-res cockpit. According to the Ctrl-Alt-Del comic definition I confess to being a real \"newb\", not to be confused with a \"noob\", at this sort of thing. :)

I have found the std cockpit graphic in the GroupA.pig file using DTX2 as suggested and I can ...

Weyrman

Just a hi-res 2d cockpit would be a nice improvement.

Is the current cockpit an image that can be extracted from somewhere? Would making a hi-res one be like making hi-res textures?

Weyrman

Well said Aus-Red!

There is no need for insults and bad mouthing.

All of us who use this need to remember that this is 95%+ one man's effort that is being SHARED with us and enjoy it with gratitude every time we play.

Make suggestions by all means, but appreciate the things that are added without ...

Diedel has mentioned that he loves this system and we know that he uses it, in fact I think he is the only one who answers it, so be patient and have good faith that each ticket is looked at and dealt with in good time.

Weyrman

I can see how this system is a great help to Diedel, being able to close off fixed issues, but I also would like to be able to see what other people are posting.

I have no idea what is possible but a way to simply show that other people are also having the same problem may help to show Diedel what ...
