DescentBB

I searched the DBB and didn't notice anything posted that answered this question; hopefully I didn't just overlook it.

I've been searching for sites that have recorded demos of Descent (1, 2, and/or 3) multiplayer games available for download and haven't found anything. I remember recorded demos being very large so I wouldn't be surprised if they've disappeared, but I thought I'd ask here before I gave up on my search.

email me and I'll send you some d1 demos of 1on1 matches I've played

Here ia a link to some D3 Demo's at PlanetDescent.

Some of the files on this page and the other may require a GameSpy account and some tinkering to get to DL and work though.

That's why All the Planet Sites Suck Ballz

The only reason PD gets some traffic is that half the files are hosted at a remote (DFiles.de) location and forums are made up of RottenTomato type hopefulls (RottenTomato got banned from PD BTW, now he is here...we want him to go back)

I mean seriously Who uploads a Demo of AceCombat vs ????

Let me give you some UNDOCUMENTED Demo controls

Multiplayer Demo : hit P to cycle through players
Singleplayer Demo : hit R to cycle through Robots, and P ONLY ONCE to return back to the player

** you have been warned **
DO NOT USE R in MULTIPLAYER ONLY Demo(unless COOP)
DO NOT USE P more than once SINGLE PLAYER Demo

We have a discussion at the moment. IsAB and me are planning / making some promo-videos at the moment. I think that you wont understand all the german text in there but who cares? There are hyperlinks to the vids - so just try if you like...

I have 17 D3 demos online I made for some people. Mostly in response to "how the hell do you fly with a mouse and only one R-axis key?"

They're all capped @ ~90fps. I want to make more, 'cause now I have a strong vid card, and I can aim better while recording. The effects aren't apparent in the demos, but it was harder to play while recording.

Bubba, the reason that PD gets traffic is because it has the largest repository of Descent files on the Internet. Just about every file is uploaded to the DF server, so you don't even need to worry about a Gamespy ID. No, our forums do not contain a lot of "Rotten Tomato" wannabees; most of the traffic in our forums is by new players asking for help. Can you imagine the same flood of noobs coming here? They'd be intimidated out of their minds by most of you . I know that I was on PD a long time before I thought of registering here, simply because of the tight-knit feeling here. PD is one of the first sites that comes up on Google when searching for "Descent 3," and we aim to be the place where new players can come to ask for help or get the files they need. I've recently written an in-depth FAQ on how to get D3 up and running and describing ways of finding games and getting into chat. It should be hosted soon at PD, and hopefully it can help out noobs when they are having trouble. While most Planet sites may indeed suck, PD tries to set a higher standard .

so who/what exactly is rottenTomato? sry, im slow

PlanetDescent is missing some important files though such as the DJ fix.

Actually, I just had that uploaded . You can find it here.

doggy?!?!?

courtesy of LordDeath here are some trichording demos and the levels you need to watch them. they are all d1.

unfortunately i long have lost all of my demos. i used to demo every IDL match i played so i could learn from my mistakes. i had gigs upon gigs. sadly all gone now

Bastard. I guess Planet Descent rules. =)

Birdseye: I sent an email, you should have it. Thanks again for the help.

And thanks to everyone else for the suggestions on where to look. I have a pretty good stock of D3 demos to dig through now.
