i've used PolyTron32 to make a robot before, but i'm just wondering if these days there's a more modern robot editor (or a way to convert a model from a modern modeling package) available, since there's modern level editors like DLE-XP

Image

oh, i forgot i could buy it again online.

but man, if i had to pay money every time i lost something, i think i would just stop having things. ¯\\(ºдಠ)/¯

Image

thanks for the reply

though, upon searching, i lost the original CD and every backup i have is already 1.5 and has the same problem. all is lost. ;o;

Image

was playing Descent 1 v1.5 in DOSBox and got to level 8, where the music stopped playing. i know this has been a problem on my dad's computer when i used to play it on that, so has music ever really worked beyond level 7 all on its own or is there a way for me to fix it?

Here's a quick self-portrait I made for you in MSPAINT

Image

Even with it there, it still wants MFC71.DLL. o_O The one included was named something else and hence won't run either way; AFAIK having a DLL in the same root directory as the program itself should work as well. :( I tried renaming it once and it had some other error: \"The ordinal 1917 could not ...

Image

I can't use DLE-XP because it can't find MFC17.DLL. :oops: I searched my entire D: drive looking for it, because that used to be my previous master drive, but I couldn't find it there either, even though DLE-XP used to work on it. o_O Can someone send me a copy of the DLL or help me not have this ...

V1.5.45 doesn't keep anything in the \"recent files\" list thingy in the File menu for me

Image

Provide the option to blur textures on a higher resolution so they don't look so fakey

Image

The game crashes when I fire a missile with the right mouse button :oops: All I have changed in the d2x.ini file is -gl_reticle 0 . I think I'm using version 0.42 so I'll update and see if it works :D ^ seems to have stopped o.O Also I noticed something else that crashes it. I have an illusional ...

Image

Lightmaps I figured were going to be an easy fix; it's just that I never put colored lights in there. The problem with mouselook is that when I have both that and the joystick option unchecked I can't use my mouse at all. Would you mind explaining why that is? Or does your glorious manual cover *all ...

Image

It's not realy a bug, it's the way it plays. First I find out my non-colored-light level has colored lights all over it, but then the gameplay. I can't use my mouse normally; there's \"Mouselook\" which I remember on D3 was this realy horrible thing, and \"Use mouse like a joystick\" which, unlike ...

I HATE IT

Where can I find a list of previous versions for download, if there is one? If not I just need a zip of the version I had, and I'll try to figure out which one that was.

Image

Told me immediately that this person was from India.

How'd you figure that?

Image

Lights in the latest version of DLE-XP are doing something funky... :oops: It's making them way too dark. Here's a picture of an unshaded level with all the lights as you can see here (a D1 level): http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/5764/lightswoutshade8fw.jpg and here is what I get when I go to the ...

Image

When I load Burp 3 in the latest version of DLE-XP it crashes

I have 4 512x512 custom textures in it. They replace these:

rock184

rock356

metl140

rock155

Why can't a groupd of the exact right people cryptically meet somehow and remake the actual Descent series to look like that?

Image

I named it "realycoolthing" just as a filename for now, because it's the best MIDI I've ever made :P Clicky linky For those of you who don't know how to download, just scroll down to the bottom, click "Free", scroll down again, enter in teh big red code and click "Download" :P Don't worry, I'll get ...

/me says ":oops:"

Image

Perhapse getting Photoshop CS2 first would be best, that way you actualy have something to make good pics with to start :D Idk what a tablet is, sounds like a digital piece of paper plugged into the computer :oops: Seems more like an "Ooooo" device to me... Besides, learning to draw with a mouse ...

Image

Whats wrong with just pasting the copied screencapture to MSPaint or something and saving it as *.jpg / *.png / whatever?

Image

What are you going to use it for?

Image

Huha! :P This one was a cloud render/bumpmapped/neon edge detect: http://img429.imageshack.us/img429/5537/edgedwall4ca.jpg http://img429.imageshack.us/img429/8223/originaledge3ap.png I made another one :D I don't realy know what this is... o_O http://img472.imageshack.us/img472/2856/idk8oe.jpg

Color? Color?!? You want me to put Color in my textures?!?!?1oneone!?

I recently got The GIMP and now I can make cool stuff like this: http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/2870/bumpywall11af.jpg http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/1140/originalbumpy9fd.png http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/9255/rockwall8ii.jpg http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/4818/originalmosaic6br ...

If your importing a 256 color bitmap, you have to have the file named "empty.bmp" or it will change your transparent white into a opaque shade of light-gray. The transparent color isn't exactly white, either: HSL 254,254,254

Added smoothing groups to fix up the visor:

Hey, I'm not the best pilot in Descent but atleast I fight like a man!! No joysticks!

However I don't have D3, so that's pretty hard to judge..

Besides, I'll be getting a Saitek-X52 Flight Control System sometime

Image

Do you mean "Smooth Shaded"? Well i don't use that for one reason: MS3D Sucks at displaying in that mode :P The shading is messed up becuase it tends to consider cubes, and extrudes entirely different types of shades, and that goes for the sides of a cylender and ends of it as well, such as the body ...

Image

Well, almost all of them are necessary...I may have added a few on the right and left walls of the room where I didn't need to, meaning I could'v simply streatched them to be that far

Image

When I zoom in realy far (or simply far enough) rooms behind my POV are displayed again...Take a lookie:

(picture of view zoomed into floor of room and room being displayed over floor texture of zoomed in room)

Recreation: Zoom in.

Image

idk... http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/4844/o05hy.gif Well I'm making these models with MilkShape 3D which means there's not realy any easy way to texture this...I either have to select different faces and turn them into separate groups for texturing at different angles, or find a UV mapping ...

Image

Ok so I don't have D3, but I've made about three models of robots for it over the period of a couple months... Here's the latest model:

New room

This is the latest picy, but D2X-XL can't handle the cubecount

Image

I made a realy big fancy room in Burp 3, and dispite it's neat architexture and (i think) normal-looking size in cubic "feet", I used alot of cubes to do it (necessary due to fancy architexture) and now D2X-XL latest version can't display all my silly cubes...:( It cuts off about here: http://img272 ...

Image

Is it possible there may be, in the later future, some way of making a Descent 2 Face editor (like D3Edit)? That'd be awesome! :D And save me alot of time making these confusing constructions; not to mention the fact that Descent 2 mines will look so much cooler :D I'm mainly thinking there should ...

Image

Ever since '95

Although I guess I stopped for a while seeing as just until two years ago I didn't know D3 existed

Age? Somewhere in the double-digits

Can't remember any bloody #*^&!^ password I have there, every time I clear my history and/or cookies!!

Ok so it's my fault

ISN'T THERE SOME WAY TO GET MY PASS? I forgot it again!!
