Just stunning work, Props to you sushi!!!

novacron

Not bad my friend. I am assuming you used all of the default VST's that came with FL? One thing I would add would be some underlying effects like delay and reverb here and there.

I've been a listener of this genre of music for a while, but this release was something I should share with you guys. The first track right off the bat seemed to feel like a track straight out of the game. These are no MIDI scores though.. these are real synthesizers and sampling. Previously ...

http://novacron.koolbear.com/images/metl_pack.jpg http://novacron.sitesled.com/temp/Relived_METL_pack.zip I finally have something to release to all of you. This is my complete pack containing every 'METL' texture from Descent 2, in high resolution. I am quite pleased with this set and I hope ...

I was wondering, do you think this converter would work with the Force Feedback Pro version of the stick? If so, I'd be interested in one.

After some small improvements with the texture and the animation, I'd like to bring you fan01! Be warned! The blades have been sharpened so be sure not to cut yourself on your way out of the mine! ENJOY!

It would still be the same game. Look at what has been done already: New fx, new gfx, new models ... but still true to the original. A new engine would mainly mean perfect execution of these changes instead of some of my kludges, things like proper shadowing, nicer coronas, shader fx for water, and ...

I actually didn't even know there were more than one project that supported hi-res textures in D2...

I'll keep posting here, because it's cozy...

Nova, mind giving the transparent texture areas a black foreground? Don't you think the official D2X-XL forum is a better place to post about D2X-XL specific stuff than here? ;) Alright Diedel, I'll give in to your suggestion :) I should just post on my site Koolbear so kindly decided to host for ...

WIP shots. Trying to get back into the swing of things... bare with me. I haven't forgot.

novacron

In my honest opinion, any more heavy improvements to the graphics engine is just too much for me. It wouldn't be Descent 2 anymore and it wouldn't have the classic feel it did back when it was still around. That's one of the promises I have for myself with my project... making the textures with more ...

I am pleased to announce that after a year or so of inactivity, I will resume my progress on providing you with high resolution textures for one of the best games of all time. Hopefully within a week or so I'll have some new ones to show everyone to prove I am serious. I have no doubt you will enjoy ...

novacron

Can you give me an example of what you need?

Merry X-Mas everyone :D http://novacron.koolbear.com/downloads/Merry_XMas.zip I decided to take a short break from music, which is going well. With all the knowledge that I've had over the years in Photoshop I finally figured out how to tile seamlessly. So to try it out, I used a couple unfinished ...

Great video Diedel! I found myself getting really excited about a really outdated game... again.

I swear as soon as I finish my album I am all over my project again. hehe

novacron

Heya fellas Thanks for the input Models would definatly be cool, maybe someday 8) on another note, Ill get those smart wings drawn in abit, I do like them longer than original (it was intentional) but seeing them next to each other, they could come in abit.. I was readying the 4racks of guided and ...

I wish some 'competition' would encourage you to make some more textures, Nova ... ;) Well there is competition, and there is encouragement, but there is something else you forgot: My lack of time. What you need to do is come burn down the hospital I work at so I have no job for a couple months. Of ...

Descent Relived Sample Pack updated to 1.1. Visit http://novacron.koolbear.com for more info.

novacron

Wow man, you really have some good things going here. I like how you created a gradient for the alien panels imitating a glass refelection, makes it stand out a lot more. I am also enjoying your power ups! I just wish I had more time... Also, if you guys are willing to send me your finished ...

novacron

DizzyRox the energy powerup now is perfect! But now to another thing: DizzyRox works around NovacroN's efforts, which is ok since it would be stupid to do things twice, especially if there's that much work involved, but as NovacroN didn't release all of his textures and obviously isn't working on ...

novacron

Well hello everyone... Now you must be thinking, where the hell has Novacron been? Are the textures done? Did he die? The texturing has not been my main priority, but I have done some work on them. What I have been working on is my music.To prove it, I will share with you one of my tracks that will ...

Hey Diedel. I just downloaded your latest version (1.5.170) and it seems to lack the option to enable hires_textures yet again. I am releasing a sample pack tommorow, so when you get the chance...

novacron

Can't wait to see the final outcome of this man, looks promising

novacron

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I figured it would be better to confine myself here. The Descent Relived website has moved under the sub-domain http://novacron.koolbear.com . A BIG thanks to Koolbear for it :D Also, a news update is to be had on the site as well. You just might want to take a ...

Hello everyone. A good friend of mine has come up with an idea. He thinks I should recruit someone to work on the bot textures. I think its a good idea and would hel p move the project forward faster. The only thing is I am not sure if D2X-XL supports searching for bot textures. If it does, and if ...

I guess we will have to see.

Uh - oh, simX is still alive! :o Novacron, this is not a more or less funny "bug" post. I will be a bit more serious this time. When you started your hires texture project, you told everybody who listened that you'd pull this project through to the end. You went so far as to anncounce that you ...

Here is a post from the PD forums to someone I just would like to say thank you. I did not realize how excited everyone really was about this. I know I was when I had heard of Diedel's D2X build with support for hi-res textures. To be honest, its not so much the lack of support, as you can see this ...

I could set up a script to send you a pesky e-mail every 15 minutes, if "it helps".

I'd rather not go to that extreme if you would please. HAHA

This has REALLY been bugging me, but to you it probably isn't a big deal. My username isn't capitalized. Is there any way of editing/changing that one letter to a capital letter without creating a brand new username?

I have already included a texture quality slider in render options to allow for compressing the hi-res textures to 256x256, 128x128 or even 64x64 (although the last doesn't really make much sense). Great, that will save me a lot of time at the end when they are all finished. No having to resize ...

Hey Diedel, I saw in .49 you said you fixed the screenshot function, but did you make it work with hi-res textures? Is there a different command I use to take screenshots? I can't remember.

All you get is a bunch of PTMC coal in ur stocking Diedel!!!!

Hey all, just giving you guys a little update as to where I am. My music creation has taken over lately, and I choose to let it continue. That is the reason for inactivity in posting new textures. I plan to release a couple screens showing parts of levels completely in hi-res. I will post them on ...

Looks nice man. It's a bit too glossy imo for what the original would most likely look like, but a good interpretation!
