I'm having a couple of issues with the current hosting provider and that's why I had to shut down my website temporarily, but Pumo Mines can still be downloaded directly from the server, this is the link to it: https://pumosoftware.com/files/descent/pmines_v11.7z Alternatively, you can also download ...

Ok, looking at the installation instructions of the Sickleflow and a couple of videos it seems only the ARGB part is connected via daisy-chain, while the PWM is connected through a separate splitter. So I think I will connect just the ARGB to the hub, so I can be able to control the leds of all 6 ...

Pumo

Ok, cool, I will connect the 12-pins then. Now it comes another question for this build, lol. :P The case comes with three included fans and an ARGB SATA-powered fan hub with 4 fan headers, as can be seen here: https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/cases/mid-tower/masterbox-td500-mesh/ . The three ...

Pumo

That's pretty reassuring for sure! By the way, on a side note, I found that my Aorus B760M motherboard has two CPU 12v ATX connectors, a 4-pin one labeled as ATX_12V_2X2 and a 8-pin one labeled as ATX_12V_2X4, as can be seen on the manual: https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Manual/mb_manual ...

Pumo

Ok, that's pretty cool, glad to know I'm on the right track with this build.
Thanks a lot Krom!

Pumo

Hello everyone. I'm building a new system and already bought many of the most important components. This is what I got now: Core i5 13600k, AORUS B760M Elite AX Motherboard, DeepCool AK620 CPU cooler, CoolerMaster TD500 Mesh case and an EVGA SuperNOVA 750GT PSU (it's a 750w 80 plus Gold one). I will ...

Pumo

Ok, thanks for the info, this is very useful!
It seems that if everything is OK with my Motherboard it would be a pretty good deal for her.

Pumo

Recently a client gave me an old computer of hers to fix it, but after many tests I made, it seems its motherboard is gone for good. It has a Socket AM3 Sempron CPU, if I'm not mistaken that Sempron should be a 145 (I think is the only one that was made for the AM3?). As a small favor I thought of ...

Pumo

Oh, this is pretty cool! Will give it a play after I manage to finish my current Ultima Thule playthrough.

Yeap, you can also find him like that on his Youtube channel.

Pumo

Yeah, can't say you're not right about the music on the boss levels (an option to change the music when the boss appears like in Overload would be nuts!), but couldn't change the level music either as I always felt that both songs were already an integral part of the Target : Uranus based levels (at ...

Pumo

It looks like XL wants to crash on start for me when the HAM or VHAM is enabled. (Tested by renaming things until it let me in; having either enabled causes the crash) Ok, another weird bug, will see if I can find a possible solution later as soon as get out of work. With so many D2X-XL settings it ...

Pumo

Ok, that sounds to me like a D2X-XL quirk, lol :P Just to be sure, do you mean the blue key from actual level 3/Mineral Valley level 2, or the one from level 13/Kartsal Mot. level 3? https://i.ibb.co/93JJdGC/Majha-Mining-Station-0005.jpg https://i.ibb.co/rHPxNSK/Cybernetic-Menaces-Res-Lab-0242.jpg

PUMO MINES OFFICIAL RELEASE THREAD Current Release : v1.1 (12 levels - full Mineral Valley episode, partial Kartsal Motivation episode) https://i.ibb.co/y63pSzk/pminesannounce.jpg __________________________________________________________________ Finally, after more than ten years and some highs ...

Pumo

Ok, I started to play it, I almost finished level 1.
I liked the use of the TEW robots on it, and I'm happy to see some of the D2X-XL features being used!

A shame there are way too few D2X-XL missions, it allows for a good deal of scripting and dynamic environments (at least for what D2 is).

Pumo

Hey, such good news to see a new D2X-XL mission released!
Will give it a go hopefully this weekend, always good to see there are D2X-XL projects every now and then.

Knowing your Overload levels, I'm pretty sure I will be enjoying this level set a lot.

Pumo

Well, I don't see an issue with the simple and straightforward name it already has, but at any case perhaps it could be named something like PTMC Archives or PTMC Vault (just throwing vague ideas here).

I think the main problem would be the hosting, as it wouldn't be a small site at all.

Pumo

Ok, if at any case it's needed I have many of the missions that were hosted on the DMDB on my hard drive, including the most known and some rare ones as well (i.e. the latest versions of Sapphire Wolf's missions, etc). Although most of my collection is Single-Player, I have very few Multiplayer ...

Pumo

So, I noticed that the DMDB website is completely down (it just shows a blank page).

Does somebody here knows anything about this, is Jourdan still around?

Pumo

Actually and IIRC, Polytron32 works fine on Windows 10 (I think I used it a couple of years ago).
You just need to install de Descent Manager DLL Pack for it to work, but even then, it's buggy as hell.

Pumo

Hopefully it won't be that much!

I think I won't make the stupid mistake to put the project on 'hiatus' again.

First episode is very close to be done, and just after releasing it I will immediately work on Episode 2 (exactly on level 12, where I left it off).

Pumo

It will be featured as the last level of Kartsal Motivation (that is, the second episode), as can be seen with detailed info in the blog entry on my new website.

https://pumosoft.dualcity.com.mx/who-is ... umo-mines/

Pumo

Ok, so I got some good news to share. First of all and specially after the long hiatus I had on previous years, I think that talking about all the people that has helped me in the past and now (be either with levels, 3D models or any other asset) is the least I can do until the next official release ...

Pumo

I think I still have it, must check where it is. Will send it to you as soon as I get it.

Pumo

Well, not exactly self-cleaning houses, but at least we have some cool smart home devices!

Nonetheless, happy 2020 to everyone!

Pumo

Oh, you mean Ulterior Ultima Thule?
Haven't got the time to play it yet, hopefully I can give it a go during the weekend.

It looks pretty nice!

Pumo

I have an i7 4790 with 16GB ram and a GeForce 1050 Ti.
I just have to disable Screen Space Reflections and I can run the game at 1080p 60 fps (a few drops to 50/55fps in certain levels) with everything else maxed out.

Pumo

... Sad to see that most of the GameSpy Network (including PlanetDescent, which I helped staff) died out while I was away from the community. :( PlanetDescent still lives! :D (even if not as part of GameSpy) Of course, it's not as biggest and active as it was in the past, but there are still some ...

On another post of mine on the Rebirth forums these were the ones I recommended the most: For Descent 1: Descent Vignettes - http://www.enspiar.com/dmdb/viewMission.php?id=560 Orion Nebula Project - http://www.enspiar.com/dmdb/viewMission.php?id=220 Ironblade - http://www.enspiar.com/dmdb ...

Pumo

Check your .mn2 file.
It should read 'zname = (name of your mission)' instead of 'name = (name of your mission)'.

The 'z' makes it a Vertigo-enabled mission, so D2 can read it correctly.

Pumo

I've spent a total of $424 USD on Steam (since 2011 and up to today).
But I agree with Tunnelcat, most of the money goes to computer hardware updates and stuff.

Pumo

Thanks a lot Krom!
As I always considered your opinion as a very good reference due to your experience, this really helps me to decide, so I think I will wait a bit and see if I can find a nice 27" 1440p monitor.
It would be definitely for the best.

Pumo

So I've heard from many people on many places that for Full HD/1080p, 24" is the maximum size recommended for a desktop PC monitor, as everything higher would make pixels way too noticeable, taking in account you sit pretty close to a computer monitor, unlike a TV. But how true is that? Some ...

Pumo

Oh, there's already a song for the hub! But it's pretty ambient-ish.
It's a remix of Alone. Will see if I upload it later.

Pumo

Indeed, it's pretty similar to Quake's hub!

And thanks Vision, I'm glad to know that you're enjoying some of my songs, it's very much appreciated.

Pumo

A bit of an unnecessary bump, but in case somebody is interested, I uploaded the full Mineral Valley (Pumo Mines episode 1) soundtrack album at Bandcamp: https://ramland.bandcamp.com/album/pumo-mines-episode-1-mineral-valley-ost It has both 'Plot' and 'Lonely Shafts' songs that were featured on More ...

Pumo

So here are more news about Pumo Mines. Now it will be divided in three episodes. Each episode can be accessed from an initial hub level. Each time you end an episode, you return to the hub but with locked entrances, so you'll need to exit to the main menu and start a new game to select another ...

Pumo

Ok, those are pretty good points Vision! Some of Truxgo's services are cheaper like the Cloud Servers, but we're still preparing to launch them as it's one of our new features (they can be found on truxgoservers. com/cloud-servers). However, although we're ready to go with many of the services, the ...

Pumo

Ok, will check with a voltmeter when I arrive home. Note that when the snap happened there was not any visible flashing light, spark nor smoke or anything coming out from the regulator or the stereo amp. Also, as another side note, the volume on the stereo on that time was barely beyond half, I ...

Pumo

So, I recently started to work with some nice guys on a hosting company. Thanks to a friend of mine and my 'technical' abilites I got the job! (Who would say that my IT and game modding skills I learned to make Pumo Mines would give me a job? :lol:) So, as it's part of my job, if there's no problem ...
