Re: Lots of maps...

There are archives of older maps on https://sectorgame.com/descentfiles/

Go to missions and there are downloads for all of the D1/D2 maps stored there. Keep in mind it doesn't include any of the new maps added to DXMA.

Re: Descent 3 Linux Files

Yeah but the problem is he didn't finish it - the game is buggy as heck, the biggest one being that savegames don't work properly (or at all!) and multiplayer is a no-go.

And you don't need the disc version, just get D3 from Steam and it runs on Linux automatically.

Omens: Resurgence out now for D3 singleplayer

The latest level in the Omens series is available now. Although I have tested the level multiple times (in both singleplayer and multiplayer) I cannot guarantee it is bug free. But I did learn a few tricks from the first project, so hopefully it will go a bit smoother this time around. As with all h...

Re: What graphics cards are y'all using?

RX570. Pretty mid range but seems to run the game nicely. Was using an old GTX 750ti when it came out, that was only capable of low detail settings but amazingly had 60 FPS most of the time.

Re: WOW, I'm going to play D3 again

To be fair, you can't just jump into a game in Overload either and expect a matchup. Even Overload has barely a fraction of the activity that D3 had back in the day. Everyone organizes on Discord these days and that works pretty well most evenings it would seem. All that being said, D3 is suffering ...

Re: Almost all of the Descent "community" is a hive of toxic roaches

Tokyo Banana is a kind of soft candy. It's like a spongecake with a creamy banana filling. Very tasty. So no Overload for you Neo? Discord is pretty active, a lot of old players lurking... not so many from D3 (a lot of D1/D2ers). It's not exactly like the unfiltered PXO days, but it's the best thing...

Re: The Descent Underground Debacle

I've play tested the singleplayer campaign and it's not too bad looking. But yes, the art direction differs from Overload.

D:U also has more engine capabilities than Overload, and of course many more multiplayer modes and features (until OLMod can catch up that is).

It's been a lot of fun, I've played it through a few of times and done a handful of multiplayer games. Unfortunately due to my location I can't join MP games often as the ping is high and lag in Overload seems to impact playability considerably more than D3.

Re: Napalm Rocket D3 Why do the toasters not have it?

The Dragon boss on 12 level has a blackshark-napalm rocket combo, but it only shoots them out of its ass.

Also I expect they weren't included that much due to the impact on system performance.

Also no D2 bot had the player Omega cannon. Only those Omega blobs, which were also pretty effective. I think they homed in a little like the EMD in D3?

Re: Why did they drop the Helix and phoenix from D3

You can however experience using the Helix and Phoenix in D3 by installing Pyromania. I think it works with the main campaign. But yeah, you'll probably find they aren't as useful as you imagine in D3 due to the large size of the levels and the geometry.
