I got it working ^^ but not in the way I was hoping to: 1) building the releases did not create a working executable for me....only building using --enable-debug=yes did...but building the debug version produced some errors I was able to get around (by commenting out the line): Error #1 - rle.c: In ...

Btw, I am never quite sure what you've done and what not when you post something. You have a nasty habit of expressing yourself very unprecise. You have renamed d2x.ini to what exactly? $HOME§/.d2x-xl, or what? sorry....it's not helping I'm the only one who is caring to post feedback right now... ...

Edit: There might be problems with the autogen.sh and configure.ac from my unified source archive. I had zipped it on my Windows machine, and now line breaks are cr/lf, where they are only lf on Linux. Don't yet know how to avoid this. The files also aren't set to executable. it's a known problem w...

The descent data needs to reside in /usr/local/share/dxl-xl. it always was in there.... edit>> I'm looking in the makefile for any type of clue...and I came up with this: sharepath = /usr/local/share/games/d2x-xl doesn't this mean that the data directory should be /usr/local/share/games/d2x-xl inst...

something is wrong with permissions in the unified sources: pinkybox d2x-xl-src # ./configure bash: ./configure: Permission denied pinkybox d2x-xl-src # chmod 777 configure to open up the permission causes this on run: pinkybox d2x-xl-src # chmod 777 configure pinkybox d2x-xl-src # ./configure : bad...

K...that fixed it...

now I'm back to everyone's favorite problem: sdlgl.c

hmmm.... :( make[3]: Entering directory `/root/d2x-xl-src/src/arch/linux' if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../arch/include -I../../include -I../../main -I./include -I ../../arch/linux/include -I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT -pipe -O2 -Wall -Wno-char-subscripts -MT ipx_mcast4.o -MD -MP -MF...

Read the installation instructions on my D2X page (bottom)! I DID!!!!! :P but you really should stop focusing on creating a universal binary....if you want to host RPM or Debian files for different distributions, then that would be your better bet. Hence why 99.9% of linux games don't have universa...

I have fixed another bug and uploaded the archive once more - try that one and see whether the exe in there is newer than yours. Btw, Descent 2 must reside in $HOME/D2 for D2X-XL currently. some good news....looks like it's showing an error message now...unfortunately something too generic to use.....

thanks for fixing the download link....but now d2x-xl won't start up...

running ./d2x-xl opens up a window, but then it immediately closes. And there are no error messages in the terminal....

I'm 18 now...and I pretty much started playing Descent when the retail came out...

so...using my college math experience, I was probably 8 or 9 when I started playing D1 (while using the invincibility cheat....if there was one thing I was afraid of at such an early age....it was dying)

YAY!!!! now for testing ^^ first...trying to extract the linux binary: pinkybox ~ # tar -xvzf d2x-xl.tgz d2x-xl gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now looks like a corrupt archive :( second....compi...

also when setting blinking lights, they look just right viewing them in dle but when i play the level, the amount of darkening and how many cubes affected is way less then what i saw in dle. I had this problem too when I use to develop with the old DMB2. It has something to do with how many light s...

my my my....everyone got their W32 linux version...don't push our luck

btw...wine doesn't work with DLE-XP

I was hoping for a picture of a sexay Linux desktop running D2X-XL in a window....that sort of thing

and I never thought I would see the day that a developer makes a mistake linking to their homepage

I would of suggested D2-tuX, but good enough

I have D2X-XL running on my Linux box now.

Next thing I have to do is implement the OS specific stuff, like UDP support, or shader programs.

any teaser screenshots??? :3

once again, I am offering to test....this gentoo system can't get any more broken

Really? :P Some update on my Linux port: A nice Linux pro has helped me to get the makefile configure utility to work, and I am in the process to fix compile errors, remove OS dependencies, etc. OpenGL code is already completely enabled and fully up to par with the W32 code. :) you are god!!! 8) wi...

I guess that's why it costed me 30 bucks on eBay (when it comes to old games, people like to put high maximum bids)

I will help you along too

I have been trying myself with modifying some of the old d2x makefiles, but I always hit a snag with compile errors because of my lack of knowing whatnots :p

in other words....bid bid bid!!!

actually....I'm watching the Definitive Pack on eBay right now...never knew Descent 1 has an expansion pack too :3 and about the redbook audio.... http://board.acmlm.org/thread.php?id=6667 - Descent II: The Infinite Abyss; or, The Definitive Collection [disc 2] (redbook audio) - Windows Media Player...

Kirby, if you need it i can dig out the boxes for them all to see what exactly they're called.

thanks....also if you're willing to sell, I'm willing to buy

now the boxed version of Vertigo would be called Descent 2: The Infinite Abyss??? with full soundtracks I assume

No, you're absolutely right. The copyright over the contents of the .hog files was never released. Parallax Software (which still exists) still owns the copyright. Funny enough, the "Descent" name was trademarked by Interplay, which no longer exists. So it might be legal to call another g...

me neither....

but I have the feeling that the game resource data in the .hog files are still copyrighted, since they were not released when source code became avaliable...

I'm probably wrong though

I read somewhere that Descent 2 : Vertigo was avaliable as a free upgrade to anyone who already bought Descent 2 http://www.gamespy.com/articles/493/493038p1.html Descent II also has an "official" expansion called The Infinite Abyss, which not only includes more action, but support for Win...

I know linux and some basic Java, but that's about it

Don't get mad...I was just hoping to test

Hello... I come here to offer becoming a guinea pig to test a d2x-w32 port for linux I have been trying to port it myself....I thought it would of been as easy as compiling it using g++, but I guess not.
