Welll, i just learned that the topic was actually duplicated. the same topic registers in both forums. any new posts also show up in both.

jakee308

well I assumed that since the forum Descent Development seemed to be for d3edit and d3 bug reports and the posts seemed to be all about d3 that a d2 editing topic wouldn't fit. i did neglect to label it descent 2 level editing questions (i corrected that oversight) however by putting it in the only ...

similar to the above happened to me. edit: this happens to me with dle. 1. if you chose a high depth perception level in prefs. the map will be zoomed way out. 2. if you have a low render level set then only parts of the mine will be visible at one time. this can be useful to get rid of cubes blocki...

ah, thanks Sirius. i was in over my head anyway.

well, since i do have the definitive collection, i could sell the d2 vertigo edition legally without losing MY ability to play. That didn't contain the most up to date exec. i think i don't know if the levels changed or not. have to ask around here. i would have to think about it. (hey it's now a co...

DCrazy are you certain that parallax software still exists? they're not at pxsoftware.com there's a parallax software at parallaxsoft.com but that doesn't look like them. matt toschlog at outrage not found = no website for outrage. i have emailed mike kulas at volition for help. if he provides a lea...

this brings up a point about what are the current legalities concerning descent 2 ownership. anyone know who currently has legal ownership of the game? would be willing to at least inquire as to how/whether a re-issue could be done. anyone with any info, let me know here. edit: they release the code...

thanks Aus-RED-5 me, i don't care what level i.q. anyone has. if they've an idea or a question or if they know where the answer is, that will contribute either way. yes it can be tricky to put in words what you mean to say as there is no "tone of voice" for input as to attitude. smilies he...

jakee308

ok. i was really suggesting that the reference for the bank is different from the left/right up/down. doesn't the pitch up/down use the up/start orientation of the mine as a reference also? maybe there's a different function for those values? obviously using a name that doesn't suggest what it does....

jakee308

a lot of folks seem to think i should google for all my questions. i guess they are annoyed by questions they've already found and want that i should get the answers the way they got them. that's ok. personally if i'm conversing with someone and they say something i don't understand, i don't run off...

jakee308

well i'm too deep now to stop. vectors are angles to a reference no?. the bank would be relative to the starting/up position of the mine. so i'm not sure it would be a vector. wouldn't it be a degree value?
1-360 or 0-359 or +/-(0-180)

jakee308

i recognize ip=internet protocol but what is udp?

which is better kali or setting up the address yourself.
NOOB ??? = what is kali? and where do you get it?

jakee308

ah, the orientation values are merged together in someway and stored as one? it would be time consuming but could you change one value at a time to see what affects what? is that the code you posted above? i'm not looking to acquire knowledge of dle programming. sometimes a unsullied and uninformed ...

jakee308

having NEVER played any game over the internet, i can recognize the words folks use when they talk about starting a game but have no clue what they're talking about. Is there somewhere a detailed description of how to configure one's system (computer, router, game config) to enable one to access a m...

jakee308

i am stepping way out of my level of knowledge here to comment and am probably asking a stupid question.

since the game saves your spatial orientation in a file shouldn't those save routines reveal how/what/where the data is stored?

please excuse me if this was a totally stupid thought.

jakee308

thanks for the explanation. good way to show it to as it makes it easier to see what you mean. i think i understand now (my head is starting to hurt though) :) HOWEVER i still would like a way to jump to any number page i wanted. btw if anyone wants to know why i would want to see old topics, it is ...

jakee308

that means i'd have to know the url page number. i mean the page number. example: say a topic has 90 pages. you have "1,2,3,4 ..... 87,88,89,90 next" as choices. to reach say 50 you start with clicking 4 then click next for 46 times to get to 50. i would like to type in a number and jump t...

thanks hattrick. just want to get back to playing/editing descent. 3 yrs since last edited. (why bother if you can't play) 1 yr since my dos/win98 machine choked. so i've been seriously starved of graphical input. plus now that i got a connection and hardware to match i want to see how i can do up a...

jakee308

Of course these may be pipe dreams as there are limits with php as to what can be done. if possible i'd like to be able to type a page number in a box and go directly to a spot in the middle of a list of topics. the way it is now you have to click through every page. Don't get me wrong i ain't compl...

The internet i'm fairly familiar with. I have the google tool bar in my i.e. v6 browser.

That's very cool indeed. I understand the Mountain Lion is endangered in most locations - so it's great to hear they are still prowling about in semi-rural areas. IIRC, they almost never, ever attack humans. Is that correct? Its rare that they do. Most shy away from any human contact. Its the ones ...

I would like to aid any new users or visitors by setting down some of the questions I had and if I know the answer to that question, I w...
