Well fortunately it turns out that it was a suggestion, after all.

I just made the OpenGL reticle lines thicker, and I will not revert that. I think it looks much better than the old OpenGL reticle with its one pixel wide lines.
Well what I see with -gl_reticle 1 or 2 enabled looks fat and ugly. The thinner version was much better.

Therefore; my suggestion ...

If I have D2X-XL set up in a folder called, for example, d:\\games\\Descent2 or c:\\d2xXL it works fine.
However, if the folder is named 'd2x-xl' and I double-click .\\d2x-xl\\d2x-xl.exe its window will pop up for a moment and then vanish.
Running it with -printlog generates a log file at (for ...

-gl_reticle 2
Tried that as well and there was no difference.

*EDIT* Ignore what I said here before about -gl_reticle being listed twice in the printlog.. that was my doing due to misuse of http://shellext.synesis.com.au/#merunprg). But I still get no reticle changes with -gl_reticle 0/1/2 though ...

did you try and apply the -gl_reticle 1 in the d2x.ini file as well?
Yeah, that was the only place I had previously messed with it. With it set as 0, 1 or even commented out I still get the same reticle. I've now tried it as a command-line parameter with no d2x.ini file... same thing.

Does the ...

I wasn't sure if this should be in Q&A or Suggestions, but here goes...

Can you please put the older OGL reticle back in as an option?

Ok just tried it again.
Try shooting the ground none stop during playback of the self destuct sequence audio.
Yep, it happens here too.

The first time I tested it all I got of the sample was "Self..."
Second time, "Self destruct se..."
Third "Self destruct sequence act..."

Seems to have ...

* Fixed: White spaces instead of the proper textures in Descent 1 missions
The white space problem is indeed fixed for me, thanks.

I still have some texture issues though. I've so far only seen it in the D1 Total Chaos level 1 map. It's a standard map that came with D1 so if someone else ...

No D1 demos with D2X-XL for the time being, sorry.

I will look into the D1 demo playback code, and if it's easy to port over, I will do it. But no promises.

That's good enough for me, thanks!

It's no great tragedy to have to use D1X-Rebirth (or whatever D1X version) to view them, but it would ...

Now try viewing the new demo you took.
When it finishes loading. It should drop back to main menu in D2x-xl. :(
EDIT: Ok found the prob.
Disable hires textures in the ini file and old demos now playback!


I've tried with and without hires textures enabled and it drops back to the main menu ...

Yep, that did the trick it does start now but still getting the vanishing reticle and white squares when aborting a game then reloading the same save game.D1 missions.

In D1 missions I too have white shapes appearing pretty much wherever there should be a weapon explosion texture. Also some wall ...

I opened the new version of d2xl,1.6.85, and unzipped it to my descent2 folder. When I double click my d2xl icon on my desktop I now get this message "The procedure entry point SDL_strlcpy could not be located in the dynamic link library SDL.dll"

It looks like the wrong versions of the SDL files ...
