Strap on your back!

Heh, I learned how to 3x chord by watching one of your demos.

Is there a way I can view outstanding tickets? I want to make sure the bug I'm reporting hasn't been reported before. I'm trying not to be negative, buy my initial impression is that this ticketing system is: 1. Ugly. 2. Devoid of features. 3. Not very useful. Perhaps I'm just not giving it enough ...

I haven't seen d2x-xl disconnect players in large IPX games. I often play in > 4 player games on Kali. I can't speak for UDP/IP games however.

Under 1.5.149 it appears that it's trying to display all the pilot names on the left side of the screen instead of 4-8 appearing on the right side as is usual. I noticed this in an 8 player kegparty game on Kali just now. On the bright side the new control-F7 feature does appear to work for pings ...

D1x also shows loss percentages next to the ping times... A very handy feature IMHO.

Under 1.5.137 I am unable to configure the sensivity of individual joystick axes when I uncheck \"sync joystick axes\". None of the changes I make to the axes seem to stick.

Using 1.5.127 I find that the multiplayer settings for \"auto balance teams\" and the previous mission you selected are not remembered.

Does anyone know if D2X-XL works with the shareware d2 datafiles? Having a freely distributable D2X-XL distribution would bring the game to a larger audience. Tracking down the orignal game files can be a bit of a challenge.

Just wanted to chime in here and say that there are a growing number of people who play on D2 multiplayer on Kali using D2X-XL, myself included. I can tell d2x-xl clients because they show the \"TYPING...\" text above their ship when they hit F8. I was in a 4 player game recently where EVERYONE was ...

Would it be possible to get d2x-xl d1 compatability working to such a degree that you could play D1 multiplayer games against opponents who are using D1X?

It'd be handy if d2x-xl would remember your multiplayer setup options from session to session. Some things like pps and short packets can be configured in the ini file or from on the command line, but I find myself always having to check \"industructable lights\" and setting difficulty to \"insane ...

spud, I tried this, no problems here. Can't tell what's going wrong for you. I am not saying there is no bug, it's just that unfortunately I cannot fix it if I don't run into it in the debugger. Sorry Diedel, I forgot one key detail, this bug only happens with "menustyle 0" set in in the d2x.ini ...

With .72 I do:

multiplayer -> start ipx network game -> pick a level -> crash to dos

Get a copy of Kali, connect to the ->Descent<- server, ask around, somebody will give you a zip/rar file with everything you need.

When I start a single player game with 1.5.55 everything looks fine, but if I start a multiplayer (ipx) game with 1.5.55 every color from the HUD to the mine, to the powerups is incorrect. It's like the color palette is all wrong.

In D1x there is this great feature where you can hit control-f7 during multiplayer to see ping and loss figures next to each player name at the bottom. Very handy.

How does the 'zoom' feature work? I have a key bound to it, I have "smooth zoom" selected in gameplay options, but I have no idea how it actually supposed to work.

Here is another bug I discovered while messing around with the weapon hotkeys feature.

Arrow down to weapon 0 (the bottom), and then hit your down arrow key one more time. Instead of taking you back to the top d2x-xl crashes.

I too have experienced the problem where you are unable to switch weapons during multiplayer. Here is how I've been able to reproduce this problem under windows xp, version 1.5.47. Create a new player multiplayer -> start ipx -> pick a level -> start f2 -> controls -> weapon hotkeys -> assign weapon ...

In 1.5.47 (windows) the -pps switch setting does not work for me. I've tried it both in the d2x.ini file as well as on the command line. No dice, always stuck on 10pps.

Yo Vander! Glad to see you're still kickin' around the DBB. I thought of you recently as I was taking a relaxing break inside your chillout room in PULLING TEETH. We've had some huge games in there recently. Some hella fun 3 on 3 team games. There are maybe 10-15 people or so who regularly still ...

D2 is not dead. Just this weekend I must have racked up at least 600 kills against people on Kali. I managed to play several 100+ kill games with Avatar. The people on Kali who actively play D2 multiplayer are badass however, so check your ego at the door.

Right on Emerald, glad to see you got D2x-w32 and Kali working. Because there are so few playes on Kali these days who actually *play* D1 or D2 it usually necessary to chat up a game ahead of time. Here is a list of pilot nicknames on Kali who like to play D2: {DWL}Vinyl <-- Toe, the gauss whore ...

I too am always up for a d2x-w32 udp game, especially when the Kali tracker is down (like it is now) and it's harder to get a game on Kali than usual.

Another request for finer granularity on the deadzone slider....

I tried using -gl_16bittextures, I assume that's the option you're thinking of. No dice I'm afraid. I'll keep trying stuff. Also, I ran into another d2x-w32 player on Kali who had 'fast respawn' enabled. The nasty side effect of this features is still present -- when you kill them you don't see any ...

It is my goal to have d2x-w32 run at the same resolution and color depth as my windows desktop. I want to do this to avoid video mode switching when alt+tabbing in between d2x-w32 and windows. My current windows resolution is 1152x864 16 bit color depth. I set D2X to run at 1152x864. I still get ...

bug repot:

I'm using .52. I want the 'widescreen' (looks cool and has best fps) view so I hit f3 a few times to select it. When I die and respawn it switches to full cockpit mode.

This is an old argument. Spaz made a lot of levels. Some boxy and 2D, yet quite suitable for bad network conditions and mind games. Some of his levels have amazing 3D dogfighting areas. I've played Manes, Muses, and Maia recently with mostly broadband peeps, and the 3D dogfights have been intense ...

spud

I forgot about Kali's 'fast join' feature. With it on you don't learn the state of the powerups when you join, you get the level default amounts and positions. This means every time somebody joines a new set of powerups are introduced into the mine for all the remaining players. You can also drop ...

There is no feature where your spew will spawn at your spawn point. UJC had 'fast respawn' checked, Bubba called it. Often mines become really cluttered with powerups, especially in big multiplayer games where people are comming and going all the time. It gets to the point where it becomes ...

spud

My friend UJC has the spawn/spew problem, we're both running 1.4.48. When I kill UJC he sees his spew at his death point, I see his spew near where he spawns. We've messed with the gameplay options "fixed powerups spawnpoints" and "always spawn missles" or something like that, but to no effect.

spud

I saw somebody use the feature where you can have your powerups spew at your start point. I thought it was a bug at first. Is it supposed to be a fairness feature? I'm running 1.4.47 and I turned on the "fixed powerup spawn points" gameplay option and sure enough, my powerups were with me when I ...

Anybody know the IP address of the ->Descent<- server? I can't talk to the tracker, so I'm unable to browse the server list...

thanks,

Wow, that looks great Diedel, any chance us testers could play around in that level?

D2x-w32 crashes if run under Windows98. I realize Windows98 isn't NT based, but doesn't it support the w32 api? Should you be able to run it under windows98?
