=== D2X-XL ===
D2X-XL was initially spawned from the D2X project as a Windows-specific development branch, fixing all of the issues D2X still had and adding a lot of new features, such as the ability to play Descent missions in Descent 2. This branch was originally titled D2X-W32 but was ported to Linux and Mac OS X later on, and renamed to D2X-XL to reflect both the broader scope and greatly enhanced feature set of the project.

''D2X-XL'' is the most advanced and feature-rich user-enhanced version of ''Descent'' to date, offering many features like colored lighting, smoke, real-time shadowing, new weapon effects, support for improved textures and 3D models and new game modes that enhance the single-player experience and give new twists to multi-player games. As most ports, it retains full compatibility with the original game and can be switched in appearance between a graphically updated version, and the original look and feel of ''Descent''.

If you read this Diedel, shame on you.

There is really really nothing to be added to that.

As far as MB is concerned: Your lack of understanding (to put it politely) is amazing, so I will do some more thinking for you. The point is not that you attacked MB because he supported D2X-XL (although actually that was your primary reason, admit it or not), the point is that you attacked him as long as he seemed to be for D2X-XL, and treated him as friend as soon as he seemed to turn against D2X-XL (or me).

Are you really so stupid that you are still trying to deny the obvious here? I'll put it simple: You're not smart enough for me. Don't even try. You'll lose.

I cannot ban you by IP, only by user name. You explicitly are banned from the forum though. Should you reappear there under another user name and I find out, I will seek to sue you for it, as it is illegal. We have a law firm where I live that is specialized on internet law and the like, and I have a premium legal protection insurance. If it gets that far, that firm will also deal with you for your insults you posted here (I have a printout). You have my word for it that it will happen.

Rebirth has its place and its justification, no objections here. It's everybody's personal decision which version to use, or to use both.

It is easy to see through your praises though. You were so enthusiastic about D2X-XL, it was oh so wonderful for you ... until you insulted me, twice, and got totally upset when told to apologize (which is something that should be a matter of fact to every normally socialized human being). Now you are trying to nitpick at D2X-XL, and praise Rebirth instead. Oh yeah. Oh boy. 31 years old, huh?

It says so much about you that you didn't want to apologize. I did at similar occasions. Well that's what distinguishes the men from the boys. Maybe you'll learn it some day.

D2X-XL (Diedle Edit)

This branch was originally titled D2X-W32 but was ported to Linux and Mac OS X later on, and renamed to D2X-XL to reflect both the broader scope and greatly enhanced feature set of the project.

D2X-XL is the most advanced and feature-rich user-enhanced version of Descent to date, and offers many features like colored lighting, smoke, real-time shadowing, new weapon effects and new game modes that enhance the single-player experience and give new twists to multi-player games. As most ports, it retains full compatibility with the original game and can be switched in appearance between a graphically updated version, and the original look and feel of Descent.

Controversy (Diedle Edit)

D2X-XL, unlike other modified versions of Descent, grants the user the ability to change some settings in a way that can affect and change online gameplay. There has been an ongoing discussion among Descent online players whether or not these settings give a player the ability to gain an unfair advantage when playing against others in a multiplayer setting. As such features are under full control of the game host and are completely disabled if the game host does not use D2X-XL to avoid any imbalances in multiplayer matches, there is however little grounds left for such concerns.

DXX-Rebirth (Diedle Edit)

Another Descent 1/2 source port called DXX-Rebirth has sprung up recently. It differs from D2X-XL insofar as its main goal is not to enhance the original game, but to simply recreate the original Descent 2 look and feel for modern operating systems, based on D1X and D2X. Development is currently in progress and is encompassing work on a software renderer, allowing to port it to hardware like game consoles, which do not offer OpenGL support.

DXX-Rebirth

DXX-Rebirth is a Source Port of the Descent & Descent II Engines and provides classical Gameplay combined with OpenGL graphics and effects, it's main goal is not to change the original game, but to simply recreate the original Descent feel for modern operating systems based on D1X and D2X. Development is currently in progress and is encompassing work on a software renderer, allowing to port it to hardware like game consoles, which do not offer OpenGL support. DXX-Rebirth is available for Linux, Mac (D2) and Windows.

D2X-XL

A Windows-specific development offers many additional features like colored lighting, smoke, real-time shadowing, new weapon effects and new game modes that enhance the single-player experience and give new twists to multi-player games. As with most ports, it can retain full compatibility with the original game when configured to do so and can be switched in appearance between a graphically updated version, and the original look and feel of Descent. It does however grants the host the ability to change some settings in a way that does affect online game play which is only available to D2X-XL users in-game.

You are a failure. Just look at the way you are behaving. Well, enough of that. You're not worth the time.

@B:

I could mark the Rebirth chapter as ad too, but I am not gonna hurt Zico for you misled ways and character.

You: \"Corona rendering is so simple, don't tell me it slows d2x-xl down\"
Me: \"d2x-xl does this and that when rendering coronas, did you know that? If I say there's more to it, it is\"
You: \"People who behave like crazy idiots on our forum are treated like this and that, but I am 31, I'll give you another chance\" (clearly telling me I am an idiot)
Me: \"You don't call me an idiot here. Apologize publicly or you'll be gone\"
You: \"You are a freakin psychopath (I didn't read on)\"
Me: Ban
You: You are a Nazi etc. blah blah

Well, you just live by getting attention. I smell some serious educational mistakes in your raising up by your parents (or parent ...).

STFU, boy.
