Thanks for the input. I found a link after a couple of searches.

I'm looking for some good missions that will play in ORIGINAL and 3Dfx exe. I've downloaded a few that simply will not load and some that in fact crash 3dfx Elusions Design missions. I've done the Orion Nebula Project and Vertigo so many times I know them like the back of my hand now even after it's...

Hey Tankie. Is THIS it? Sorry, no. Color was never added to that version. DPE is a dos executable with WYSIWYG display of the colored text. it also had several backgrounds to check it against. The default changes color against different backgrounds like the color tolerance does in Kali, sorta. Most...

Does anyone have a copy of the old Player Editor tool called DPE, \"Descent Player Edit\", that Cokeman wrote? It was the best player editor even if it was DOS based. Someone enever got around to adding color to the taunt editor in plredit. DPE Beta Release 1 DPEREL1.EXE 104,407 Bytes This...

I suggest you test it yourself using an old version.

Both the W32 and the XL still have the same problem. They don't communicate well with older versions. Maybe it's sending info packets and waiting for a reply packets that just is non existant in the older versions. I don't know. Still, ships stall, you get no clang in visual hits and clang when you ...

I'm all for this D2XX project so long as it Stays Compatible with D2 3DFX, something D2X W32 seems to have disregarded to concentrate on TCP play and that D2X XL has had limited success with. I will note that 3DFX users are invariably using win9X and most D2X users are in XP, when the XP users disab...

I use D2 3dfx 90 % of the time on Kali multiplay. So far there has been some improvement when playing a with a host in D2XL but only in one on one games, invariably if a third joins the game play degrades user with D2XL exhibiting sypmtons we've all experienced in the old days similar to packet loss...

Descent2 3dfx version 1.60b is the version I was using. I have been seeing a few incidents where shield orbs remain after a another player has been killed and the w32 host has picked up thier powerups. Spew count mounts quickly and I can see and hear w-32 players picking ou spew that is invisible to...

Something bad has happened in the last issue of D2X_W32. It is no longer compatible with older cversions. I have instances of D2Xw32 not being able to see my host and when I try to join a w32 host I get messages that files do not match even when the files are uploaded from my missions directory. I t...

this is probably off topic but.. It would be nice it became customary to suffix the file names with an 'X' or some other designation when using non-standard, (New Standard?) textures in Descent2 missions. I've been trying new missions that crash my 3DFX Voodoo4 card and lock up my PC becuase of the ...

I think it's not asked to much that ppl use their brains at least a little bit when looking at the D2X-W32 options though.

But I'm just a cheer leader!

P.S. Any consensus about the use of D2X-W32-exclusive features?

I'm anxious to familiarize myself with the D2X-WIN thingies. so sure, I'm game for a few games in D2X-Win.

They tend to be a lot more advanced, thus vague and undocumented. nature to be more The situation could be improved if someone was willing to write documentation but it probably is d2x and most other gameports (doomsday for the doom engine for example) advanced/harder to understand. Plus the docume...

No Offense, Diedel, but the "Manual" on your site is a bit cryptic.. Not to fault you but everyone knows that programmers shouldn't write the manual, just the documentation. The manual, well, that's a user thing. It is helpful but I haven't been able to download it to my Descent archives f...

I have a suggestion that really has nothing to do with programming, Its more about distribution and packaging. It's this... How about a manual with some (recommended) example game setups to demonstrate the new capabilities and what effect the more esoteric toggles and switches in D2x-W32 have on the...

I used 3dfX voodoo 4500 32 megabytes in my "D-Box". I run Descent 2 and DEescent 3 in glide always on this machine. Descent(1) is really awesome looking in D1_3dfx.exe but has no mouse support. I actually think it is the best looking of all the Descent voodoos. I have run yup from Monster ...

25th sounds good to me. I haven't been able to connect on Kali this weekend (the 17th and 18th), is it me or is Kali down?

Wow. I stumbled upon this morning, having not had anything to do with Kali since i was 15. Im going to be 20 in a month and a certified teacher in 8 months...long time huh? What the hell have you guys been up to? Lothar, Merlin(new maiden cd..)..god, I read that thing about kiln's demo and I think ...

I'm left handed and have all my controls set on the number pad and edit keys on the right side of the keyboard, I mouse with my left hand. In D*X w32 the number lock (and maybe the caps lock too?) is active and every time I hit that key, either as a control or my accident it toggles my controls off....

1. I think if you looked a bit more closely at the situation and corporate America, I doubt that you would find many Christians involved. ----------------------------------------------------- 2. I know you have something stuck in your craw where Christianity is conserned, but use those smarts you ar...

Ohmygod I get it! I got it! ha ha ha! I got that one!

OH GOODY!! Happy Birthday Phaser! May your Birthday wishes come true!

Love yas!

Here is a reliable "Independant" back up server that's been around for many years and doesn't go down everytime Ilan hostong or Kali Tracker does. Wizards Castle at 206.99.178.2 If Wizards Castle doesn't show on your server list simply cancle out of the update and tracker search when you s...

I think the environmental short sightedness of our current leaders is a natural result of having Christian Fundamentalist running the country. No amount of logic or scientific evdidence is going to sway thier faith based decision making. There is no way science, logic or even the evidence of thier o...

the sonner the better. I want to know in advance so I can get out of working that weekend. It is going to be all weekend I hope, Saturday and Sunday? So, put my vote down for the weekend of the 5th.

I'm looking forward to the next revival. I'm hoping for something old and something new when it comes to levels to play. I do want to play a coop game and team flag too. I hope to get in at least one game of flag in the Glass House and a couple of guys that hang on the Descent server & Rangers h...

Here is a list of "Independant Kali Servers". While kali tracker will not show info on these because it's down, these servers are still up. They are not hosted by Kali.net or ILan. If you haven't refreshed your server list some of them my not show. You can find the servers that are current...

I do hope they leave the keyboard options as they are in D1X-1.4x One of the reasons I play Descent is the simple LH keyboard setup I use with lefthanded mouse. I'll never be able to play with a joystick, something that seems to come natural to all the guys simply eludes me. I'll be glsasd to beta t...
