Fun new 'mode' for D1 levels...

Post by D3Phoenix »

I had been wondering why D2X needs those little .256 files sitting around in the main folder, and so I decided to find out.

I moved all of them to another folder so that D2X couldn't find them, and then I started playing around.

Guess what? I guess that they have a lot to do with D1 rendering, because everything worked normally until i got into D1: First strike. The effect is very interesting. Try it and see for yourself -- you might need to turn on a radar MFD... *hint hint*...

I'd love to see somebody beat Descent 1 like this :P lol. The scary thing is that I can get through level 1 just fine, since I have so thoroughly memorized the layout 8)
