Using shader programs in Descent 1/2 is possible, but not with the Rebirth code base.

A better approach would be to add an entirely new renderer as well as a modern physics and networking library. Again, you'd need a better code base than Rebirth though.

Ferno,

I remember well when you talked with the Core Decision people, always saying \"we\" and \"us\" until told that there is no \"we\" for you ... seeing that really removed all doubt I had about the driving force within you. You are begging to be \"somebody\", to have say somewhere, but oh pity ...

Diedel

The way you have been behaving towards me you better shut up and start with yourself.

I haven't changed. You simply never revealed how low you actually are before. If you think you can call me an idiot in my own forum, you are as stupid as you are anti-social. If you knew to behave like a man - and ...

It's amazing how you still have the cheek to teach me about being polite after what you have been saying here.

It says enough about you that you started to throw hissy fits simply after being told to stop it in the D2X-XL forum.

You are just a joke in your narcissist self admiration. You really ...

You can register in the D2X-XL forum (if you haven't done so already) and ask your questions there plus seek help for getting D2X-XL to run on your system, or post a support request in the D2X-XL project on Sourceforge.net (free registration required).

With high corona quality, D2X-XL can slow to a crawl on certain hardware (ATI). There is a reason to that: D2X-XL tries to do some \"DX 10 soft particle\" style blending of the coronas with geometry in front of them using a shader program. In order to accomplish that, after having rendered the ...

Untill I see the release date of a demo, I'm not going to believe it. Would it be nice? Yes. Will it happen? Probably not. If you really want a new Descent game, learn C++ and head on over to the Open Descent Foundation's web site and help our work.
Helping with D2X-XL would be more promising. It ...

Sirius, The screen shots appear darker than the in-game impression, trust me. Above that in multiplayer people usually use bright player ships, so they will actually stand out better.

The second level is the most beautiful for me - though the others are good too - it looks plain gorgeous is a fight ...

Diedel

not sure why you went through some trouble to change them to D2-XL only levels, because I've made some changes to my six levels including lighting issues, item balance and yes that fuel center issue you brought up in level 3. I've fixed that in my own way. So I'm not exactly sure why you are making ...

Unreal has a glow filter, D2X-XL coronas are hacked, pseudo-volumetric lights. Simple glow is not what I wanted to go for. Actually full, per pixel volumetric light is what I want (but not with that engine).

As Wolfie wrote, here coronas are completely out of whack. That's not why I am saying the ...

The point is not whether the company would lose money or not, don't you get that? The point is that these people are using stuff they haven't paid for! They are just thieves, period.

And apart from that I don't believe them. To me they are just dang liars trying to justify what cannot be justified ...

Diedel

If someone pirates a game and never buys it doesn't mean the company loses money. Most people who pirate would not buy the game to start with so they aren't losing money.
For one that's a stupid argument, sorry, and then I doubt it's even true. Many people steal it because they get away with it ...

It was said that a sudden gust of wind hit the Airbus and pushed the left wing down. Well, you may argue that unexperienced pilots need to learn to handle such situations irl. Anybody in for being their lab rat?

You question the numbers? Read this article .

Now tell me all those pirates only steal software because its evil copy protection schemes doesn't allow it to work properly on their flawlessy setup machines. Tell me that many PC gamers are not an ungrateful, lawless pack of thieves.

If I look at the fact that about 2/1000 of all D2X-XL users have bothered to donate something to the project, to give something back for what they have freely received, and let it be just 5 bucks, I think he has a point. Human nature never was in a good state.

Diedel

Is it correct that you have been using standard lighting for your screenshots, and have turned colored lighting off? And have you been using the old or the new render path?

Edit: My main point of criticism is that the levels are way too bright for my taste - almost like every light would be fully ...

I don't know your corona settings, but if you don't already try high quality and low or lowest intensity.

The vserver seems to crash frequently. Nothing special I'd be using it for that might explain it. I have rebooted it three times already.

Site and forum are fully available again. There was a brief down time (about an hour maybe) probably caused by technical problems of the provider.

The last forum backup is from feb 9, so a few posts and registrations are lost; nothing wild though.

So come on over, (re-) register if necessary and ...

When you are referring to OOF Tool Diedel, are you referring to OOF Editor, or 3dsgen/MaxOOFUtility?

If you are referring to OOF Editor, then there is absolutely no change done to the model. The model can simply have special points, weapons batteries, and animation added.

If you are referring to ...

A face normal is a line perpendicular to a face (polygon).

Diedel

Oh yeah, the worklog doesn't yet mention the $bullets submodel (2 faces, 4 vertices like the gunpoints, normal must point towards the ejection direction of bullet casings). Put it slightly inside the model of a gun ejecting bullet cases.

Diedel

Use the face normals. D2X-XL can also determine it using the model's orientation matrix.

Actually this entire discussion is bullcrap sown by an envious troll trying to spread some FUD.

This has taken up enough of my attention now. MB's Pyro stands for itself and is a great addition to D2X-XL.

People who don't like it can stick with other Descent versions' grainy graphics, 2D sprites ...

Eagle has gotten due credit on my Descent site. You should just take your time to read my worklog. But basically it is still a more detailled model of the original (movie) Pyro, and MB's creation has evolved into something of its own right.
