Reinstalled linux again, found the culprit. The package I installed that broke descent3 was libgl1-mesa-dev:i386. Now trying to figure out how to run descent3 even with that package installed... Also, there's no sound :/ The sound problem is pretty easy to fix: put "padsp" before "descent3" in your ...

Very weird, it suddenly doesn't work any more. Same error. No clue what I changed that broke it. However at least we know it CAN work. Hey, I'm getting the following libGL error trying to run this: lol@foldingmachine:~/Downloads/d3linux$ ./descent3 Could not load [/home/lol/Downloads/d3linux/imd.bmp ...

Negatratoron

I have no idea what happened, but I had to reinstall Linux for other reasons - and now descent3 is working. Even on the new install, I was getting that same error until I installed the libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 package, which I installed because it was required for Steam as explained here: https://wiki ...

I was on Team NuB as well. I am still alive, and hopefully will be for some time yet, though I don't play very much Descent these days.

If you run d3 windowed, you can lurk on a server and hear the beep when someone joins. I am trying this out right now, running d3 in a virtual machine. (as soon as someone joins I plan to say 'brb', close the VM, and go play d3 on the host os) (it's too bad it's so hard to run d3 with sound active ...

So I don't see space colonization as being the quick fix to mankind's problems. Right, it's not supposed to be a quick fix to mankind's problems; that's a totally different ballpark. Expanding onto other planets would just protect humanity from mindless coincidental disasters like giant rocks ...

Negatratoron

Not to pick on you too much, but if you're still playing Descent 3 in 20 years I really worry about you. Right, realistically Descent 3 is likely to be either dead or uttering its last breath in 20 years, but it's worth including anyway :) The following is one third nonsense, one third tangent, and ...

That's Right! Now we're making progress

Negatratoron

Stephen Hawking has something to say on that subject. According to him, the only way to pretty much ensure humanity's survival is to expand into other solar systems. About faster-than-light communication... I don't understand this very well (yet), but a book that I read on entanglement a few years ...

In 20 years, I'll be 37 and insanely good at Descent 3. Beyond that, I have no idea, but right now I would like to end up exploring some field of math, programming stuff, and/or doing something involving the two best languages in the world (German and Russian) (according to me) for a living. I might ...

Negatratoron

Thank you. It works now. It turned out that the card had nothing to do with it, but there were two other problems. One was that the partition table on the Linux hard drive spontaneously self-destructed. The other problem was that GRUB thought that the hard drives were hda and sda, when they were ...

Negatratoron

None of this is life-threatening, but I would like to know what's going on. The motherboard has one IDE port and there is a nonbootable PCI card that adds another two. I use Fedora Core. The Linux hard drive is IDE and the Windows hard drive is SATA. Here's the list of symptoms that may be linked in ...

Did you buy the domain? I'm trying to host a DNS server. It shouldn't be necessary to buy a domain. It doesn't work that way, domains aren't free no matter what you do.

There was a thread on here not too long ago about someone's problems with Maya under Linux. Turns out that it doesn't like Compiz/XGL, so make sure your DRI implementation is completely up to snuff and turn off any 3D composition managers before attempting it. I started that thread. I figured out ...

Negatratoron

Heh, I actually plan to have a Linux partition but I can't use Linux for everything I own, such as Photoshop CS2 and Maya and Windows is a lot more straight-forward as far as installing and running programs goes. Also, Linux requires some knowledge of Unix which I don't understand yet. Hopefully I ...

Yes, I know about GIMP. But it's TOO HARD TO USE! I don't know what kind of quality you're looking for, but you could make the image in just about any image-editing program (MS paint, for example), then simply open it in GIMP and save as an icon file. There may be other methods of converting to ...

whats wrong with ms paint? As far as I know, MS Paint does not save as icon files. I want one of Icon Edit program for make icons. I looked for that at Google but there is too many freewares. 'Cuz I don't download stupid fake freeware on my PC. Can u pick one of best icon edit? Please. Thanks. I ...

Negatratoron

I was totally correct about everything! Thank you for the help. I do appreciate it. When I was trying to get GRUB to work a long time ago (see Linux does not Boot), I messed up the boot sector of the Windows hard drive. Apparently, you can not read NTFS drives unless there is a working boot sector ...

Negatratoron

Now Linux can mount the hard drive and the Windows virtual machine can tell that the hard drive is NTFS. I would prefer to repair the hard drive instead of copying the files, reformatting, and starting over, because I have software that requires activation, and I'm not sure if it can be reactivated ...

Negatratoron

I just used TestDisk/Chkdsk, and the Windows recovery console to repair the file system, but once it's repaired, it somehow doesn't stay repaired. If I repair the boot sector and MBR either through TestDisk/Chkdsk or through the Windows recovery console, the file system is then accessible and all of ...

In that case, I will not get a new power supply, but I have learned a few things in any event. Thank you.

Negatratoron

Thank you. 650 did seem like a lot. I don't really do extreme gaming, but I do play a new one every so often. Would a switching from 300W to 420W or so make the computer faster in general? Thank you.

Negatratoron

I have never bought a power supply, and I have no idea how much power is really necessary for the computer. The hardware is as follows: Power supply: 300W with 20-pin and 4-pin power connectors, both of which are connected Mowherboard: Biostar TForce 550 with 24-pin and 4-pin power connectors Video ...

Chkdsk says, \"The type of the file system is RAW. CDKDSK is not available for RAW drives\". My Computer in Windows XP also displays the drive as being raw, but \"fdisk -l\" in Linux does say that the drive is NTFS.

Negatratoron

As explained in the topic, \"Linux does not boot\", I have Linux on a PATA hard drive. I also have an SATA hard drive with a corrupt NTFS file system. The SATA hard drive is larger than the PATA hard drive, so I can not save an image of the hard drive. I used an expired trial version of VMware ...

I just upgraded from Fedora 5 to Fedora 6, and Maya 7 does not work. I removed old XGL packages to get Beryl to work, and then reinstalled Maya.

I just found out that XGL wasn't really diasbled. When I commented the old XGL line in xorg.conf, the computer added a new one. I don't know why Maya stopped causing the computer to logout, but it's nice that it did. :) Maybe XGL running could have caused this? I believe that Fedora Core 6 uses XGL ...

Negatratoron

Thank you. It worked. I don't remember if I have already put this in \"Linux does not boot\", but it looks like there is some sort of character encoding problem. The letters around the little box in the corner, the frame numbers at the bottom of the screen, and all of the convenient HUD features ...

I use Fedora 5, and I have Maya 7 Unlimited. I usually don't use XGL as my window manager, but XGL is on the computer, so XGL keyboard shortcuts like Shift+Backspace still work. Sometimes after releasing the mouse button when selecting objects, or when grabbing a move, scale, or rotate handle, I get ...

When I set the buffers too low, the \"restarting sound server\" window freezes and I need to reboot the computer to make any further changes to the system sound. At the lowest possible setting that doesn't freeze the computer, the delay is still present, and definitely noticable. By the way, I'm ...

I didn't notice that I had to load the kernel modules. Now Descent 3 works online, with sound and everything. However, there is a delay of about one second from the time when an event happens to the time when the sound leaves the speakers, whether this event be an after burner, a fusion blast, or a ...
