Dropping markers and running through markers has the wrong sound effect associated with it. It currently plays the missile launch sound instead of the original beep-beep sound.

Regards.
I vouch for that! Actually, noticed this with earlier version of D2XL.

Help!

I can't explain what happened. Yesterday I installed the newest 1.6.52 and started up D2. The in-game configurations were all changed and I was getting like 1 FPS! I re-configured the game and re-installed all files that are in my DATA folder and ROOT folder of descent. Now with good FPS, I do not ...

Re: Thief Bot config switch for D2

I did a search in the D2X forum and found no such suggestions: for D2, add a switch config setting to have thief bot in game (value of 1) or no thief bot in the game (value of zero). Would this be too much work Diedel? Thanks, Yogi Isn't that like "cheating"? :P Scared of him are ya?? :lol: Thief ...

No 3-D robots in briefings

Even with the latest 1.6.21 (and previous version), I don't see any robots during the briefings for D2 Vertigo. Same issue with the nomovie switch removed.

Oh, and it is my hope that all of you find joy in the true meaning of Easter, the resurrection of Jesus the Lord! Happy Easter!

1.6.18 - sound and texture issues

In D2 Vertigo levels I note that the lava textures and door animations are flashing (like a fuzzy TV screen). Also, when firing my lasers, the sounds are real choppy (?)

Anyone else having these issues?

Door Animation and 1.6.15

Sorry if this bug has already been mentioned here. Using 1.6.15 and Novacron's hi-res textures, I see corrupt animation next to each door (looks like a fuzzy TV screen) in D2 Vertigo level 12. I have already sent JPG and savegame level to Diedel.

I too notice the bug in the 3D map mode: I see only the green dots for the prisoners! I also notice some performance hits with this version - i.e more stutters when using hi-res textures. Some textures are missing or don't look right. There is one level in D1 (I'm trying to remember which level ...

Hi Res textures

I too am having problem getting D2X to recognize the hi res textures. I placed Novacron's textures into a folder called \"textures.\" The exact location is H:\\Descent_D2X-XL\\textures.

Diedel, could you please specify the exact syntax needed for the hires_texture switch command?

Using version .64 and Descent 2 level 13, I am getting CTD whenever I change secondary weapons, specifically number 6 (concussion and ?). Also, key 7 toggles my Homing and Burn (?) and key 8 toggles Flash and bomb (?)

Bomb selection function mapped to energy-shield converter

Hello Diedel!

I note the following bug in D2 and using 1.5.149: pressing a key for bomb selection also activates the energy-to-shield conversion (when you can use that conversion, of course)

thanks,

Diedel,

Within the D2X ini file, do you allow spaces between switch commands? I want to \"organize\" my ini file so that I can locate items faster - :)
