I snipe.

How to set up XL to best match DOS? It's been a little while... I'm not sure if you can change the points mid-screen thing. In "Misc" (I believe?) settings, you may be able to fix both of these things after setting "Expert Mode" to full then going on a wild goose chase all over t...

LightWolf

I mainly use Rebirth, but that's simply because I have for a while. Before that, I was a big D2X-XL user. I still use XL sometimes. It really depends on what you are trying to do. I'd recommend trying a few levels of First/Counterstrike in both (and toying around with XL's options) and deciding base...

Apocalyptic factor

DFW's D1 conversions of D2 missions are pretty good.

LightWolf

Anyone know of any other good [non-LOTW] D1 missions or especially good single levels to try? Eris Rebellion is pretty OK. It's not the best mission in terms of quality, but it definitely beats 99% of LOTW. If I had one complaint, however, it's that it lacks a boss. Back to LOTW, Deep Jovian Mine i...

LightWolf

I played Cicero. That was one of the few gems.

LightWolf

You probably are being too self-conscious about it. Convert the levels to narrative format as well as change some things to avoid copyright infringement and you could probably sell the thing

LightWolf

Demon Bridge is fairly innovative.

Quick note: Beware the multitude of corrupted levels. There are also a few bad .MSN files - you just need a good idea of how to use Notepad (or equivalent) to fix these though.

LightWolf

It doesn't have to be done in one sitting, however memorizing the "D2" section (and some of the "D1" section) is easier that way. If you're going to split the level up, I'd recommend tackling each section in one sitting. Unless you are rather good at memorizing levels. The most t...

LightWolf

Yes I did - It's really good if you have a block of time.

And Obsidian is definitely still a quality mission.

LightWolf

Like too many ideas of how to handle a fight? Or is it the author cramming too many ideas into a level that you mean? I was getting too many ideas for my own levels/non-Descent things :lol: I haven't had the pleasure of trying Apocalyptic Factor, but you've been so horrendously vague in your answer...

LightWolf

TEW is a part of the DFW missions. As to whether Obsidian is better depends on what you are referring to. I'd say that they are on par geometrically - while AF is much more complex, each one is of high quality within its detail level. If that makes sense, which it probably doesn't. If you're talking...

LightWolf

You did exactly what would have fixed what I was referring to, so it must not be that.

LightWolf

Too many ideas for this and that - usually at least a few of which are not related to what's happening

LightWolf

Post #1: It can be buggy at times, but it is. Just make sure to zoom out after a bulk select so you can deselect the stuff that was selected from behind the camera. -------------------------------------------------- Post #2: It is actually possible to take your custom sounds and mod them with D2X-XL...

LightWolf

It was more of an idea overload than a problem with Apocalyptic Factor

LightWolf

I know that level has a door bug with the red door - that may be related. Normally using DLE to check for errors will auto-fix the issue. The issue in question may or may not be the same one that I'm referring though.

LightWolf

All of DFW's missions. I also like Obsidian and Enemy Vignette.

LightWolf

You should give the Lou Guard guided missiles

As for D2X-XL, all it should take in theory is creating a folder in the exe-directory/mods folder called descent2 and copying the .HAM folder in there. If that doesn't work, put the .HAM in a mods/HOG-name-of-the-mission-you-want-to-play folder.

LightWolf

Descent Single Player is better for these kinds of things, while Descent Level Spotlight is more for showcasing levels.

LightWolf

I can't quite help with voice acting at the moment sadly

I can test though

LightWolf

Almost impossible and impossible are two different concepts...
...and I got too bored to tell with Apocalyptic Factor.

LightWolf

The entire Descent series was taken off of GOG a few years back due to legal crap with Interplay.

LightWolf

Sirius and Darkhorse did an independent venture for AF. Ellusion is/was a megagroup of people. Sirius and Darkhorse did level design, but I don't think that many of the graphics or robots were theirs IIRC. Sirius and Darkhorse also didn't seem to have a part in EAF2 - though I could be wrong.

LightWolf

Every time I launch it, it plays the cutscene, then I get a "Cannot open file merc1.d3l" (or something like that) error. I bought the game from GOG, but I don't have the installer anymore.

LightWolf

I have the first one, but the DMDB version (I think?) wasn't complete. The final level was just a string of rooms.

EAF2 was Ellusion's first mission, so that's why it's under their name. Keep in mind that this was back in the '90s

LightWolf

I was actually thinking of D2L4 as Falls of Truth

LightWolf

Let's see... An American civilian talks to a Russian civilian about a way to defeat a political opponent. Granted that may not be the ideal approach, but talking to a Russian non-government-related lawyer is about as legal as talking to a Russian McDonald's employee. May I also point out that Trump ...

LightWolf

I can't wait!

Ohm is actually a unit of measurement for electrical resistance! Reactor Reactor, got it :P ------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't feel like double-posting, so I'm gonna put some stuff here. I was listening to some of the music from D1, and I have decided that D1 ...

LightWolf

Honestly, they were great. Except for winding up sub-30 shields quite quickly after barely any progress on level 2 in one GELD mission :P (it was one of the Iron series) Random quasi-related thing: Ellusion did EAF2. I have a copy of EAF1, however it's an incomplete copy. Anyone have the complete ve...

LightWolf

There is actually a disadvantage on insane: IIRC Level 6's have a slower firing rate.

LightWolf

I actually have four slots (though the fourth came after I switched to using Google Drive). Also, some of those comments are only relevant to years ago (copying namely). IIRC I took all plagiaristic submissions off of DMDB.

LightWolf

Noticed that Reactor Yoga has a stretched black texture if you enter the red door on the right.

LightWolf

DMB2 had support for customizing robots - just not the models. Solrazor probably used that.

24 normals + 6 secrets = 30 levels

Plutonian Shores Demo
(Speaking from however long in the future) Plutonian Shores full version

LightWolf

Glad you agree with yourself

LightWolf

I didn't make Plutonian Shores, nor do I claim any part of it. IIRC Naphtha made it.
If you wanna know about my project, look for Substance.
