There are 3 or us at work who play daily during lunch on our network. We would be glad to test it thoroughly for you (Windows version).

Just for the record, og3 WILL work once this is released, right?

Posted: **Thu Mar 25, 2004 5:28 pm**

According to Valin, it will. The 1.5 patch will bump the number of custom models allowed, so conflicts such as the Mercenary/OG3 one should be a thing of the past

it rocks, it's the best MOD for D3, probably the best MOD for any game except maybe Natural Selection on HL. So, of course poeple are gonna play it. It's tons better than OG1 and OG2. I can't wait for 1.5 comes out so I can actually play it with people other than Orbital people. [zombie]Orbital is the best internet-based organization in the world.[/zombie]

Actually there was a predecessor to OG3, for Descent 2.

and don't forget OG1 for D1. I still havne't been able to beat the last race in OG1.

OG1 for D1? where'd you get that from Trix?

Posted: **Sun Mar 28, 2004 8:35 pm**

Got it from Xtremebuilder

Posted: **Tue Mar 30, 2004 6:29 am**

where do i get the mods for og mods for descent 1 and 2.

Posted: **Tue Mar 30, 2004 9:08 am**

So any news about the patch?

Posted: **Tue Mar 30, 2004 11:47 am**

I have some news!

It's in progress.

Posted: **Tue Mar 30, 2004 4:52 pm**

Maybe it would be a good idea to grant moderatorship of this forum to Kevin and lock this thread to non-moderators. Then when there's an update to this thread, we know that there's actually an update to the status of the patch.

Posted: **Tue Mar 30, 2004 5:59 pm**

DCrazy - thats the same thought I had before I read your post...

Posted: **Thu Apr 22, 2004 5:47 pm**

any news?

Posted: **Thu Apr 22, 2004 7:14 pm**

...please?...

Posted: **Thu Apr 22, 2004 7:22 pm**

Ooot?

The hat I am going to eat when D3 1.5 is released is gathering dust. I really don't want to eat all that dust as well as the hat.

*sigh*

*glances at the Dev's last post date*

At least we know it's coming / in the works.

I mean, look at Halo. Halo won't ever get the HEK (Halo Editing Kit) and the 1.05 patch at the rate M$/Bungie/Gearbox is going. Game's already on its way to a swift death and it hasn't even been a year since its PC release.

Posted: **Fri Apr 23, 2004 8:49 pm**

Actually, Gearbox is done with it. It's at MS now ... and has been for over a month ... for testing.

Gearbox has no say in it after that.

Posted: **Wed Apr 28, 2004 11:34 am**

According to Valin, it will. The 1.5 patch will bump the number of custom models allowed, so conflicts such as the Mercenary/OG3 one should be a thing of the past .

That's not all, actually. D3 1.4 has issues with paging them, and that also causes problems. Models get mixed up with others.

Thought so.

Anyone know if they need any linux testers for the new D3 1.5 patch?, i'd be more than happy to help out if it will speed things along

Posted: **Mon May 03, 2004 2:21 pm**

You guys have to realize what it's like to be a programmer.

When you bust balls all day writing code for someone for 8-10-12 hours to make some cash to feed the family, it's really, really hard to get the motivation to come home and write yet more code. A bug that would take any developer 3-4 hours to fix and test, while they are on the job might take that same person 2-3 days just to fix, since he probably can't get 3-4 consecutive hours to work on the problem during the course of the week.

That said, a 6 word post saying "Hi, I'm still playing with it." Would be a good morale boost! (hint hint)

Has anyone heard from Kevin? I have him on ICQ, but he's never online, anyone else?

Hope things are just busy for him.

Posted: **Sat May 15, 2004 4:52 am**

I really hope that the 1.5 patch will lead to more players online, cause since the beginning of this year 2004 the number of players decreased a lot.

With PXO down and Interplay closed by the state of California, is Kevin still planning on releasing the 1.5 patch?

Posted: **Mon Jun 07, 2004 8:39 pm**

whats the point? We're going to get slam-danced by a huge freeking space rock thrown at us by some ancient brown dwarf or some such.

Posted: **Mon Jun 07, 2004 9:35 pm**

LOL!!

Posted: **Tue Jun 08, 2004 5:40 am**

Lol, I've got a file og3.zip dated 6 july 2002. I guess I should check it out

Posted: **Tue Jun 08, 2004 5:11 pm**

Wow, it is wonderful to think there just might actually be a 1.5 patch. This is exciting. Maybe I will soon be able to join more maps besides Stadium and a few others.

I'm running D3 on Linux and would love to test it.

I can't believe I never came here before. I have been Descenting sence Descent 1 and will not stop any time soon!!

Hello everybody!

Posted: **Tue Jun 08, 2004 5:41 pm**

Posted: **Tue Jun 08, 2004 6:17 pm**

Now if only Kevin could drop by and give us a status report...

Posted: **Wed Jun 09, 2004 11:55 am**

Someone give the man a phone call asap.

Posted: **Tue Jul 06, 2004 7:02 pm**

...and another month rolls by.

Have retired from D3 until V1.5 is released.

Posted: **Tue Jul 06, 2004 11:54 pm**

Posted: **Wed Jul 07, 2004 6:53 pm**

1.5 is the great Pumpkin Patch... How many times are you all going to let Lucy fold your footballs? heheh. I guess I hope against hope as well but....

Posted: **Thu Jul 08, 2004 5:38 am**

Hey Kevin,

Just wondering if you could please post an update about the progress of the 1.5 patch, in particular the Mac version. And if I can ask too much, a rough release date?

I've been waiting for a mac os x version of Descent 3 for 3 years now... can u please drop us a line and let us know how the patch is coming along.

Thank you for all ur efforts u freely put into Descent 3 - the game is so much fun to play today because of what u have done/are doing.

Kiel

Posted: **Fri Jul 09, 2004 3:19 am**

Oh yeah, I'd gladly beta test it as well

Mac OS X 10.3.4
iBook G4 933Mhz
640MB RAM
ATI Radeon 9200 Mobility w/32 MB VRAM
