I remember him.

I remember me too.

And Annabelle, he sucked.

I don't know how to invite to the Descent discord, but most people are using the Overload one: http://discord.playoverload.com/

Hunter

Doesn't Suncho host that site? I forget.

Probably hasn't updated the chat in a while.. It still works at Descentforum.de though.

Most people are using Discord now.

Hunter

Ok, the patched version has been uploaded. Download the level again to get the changes.

Hunter

Based on feedback I've received it would seem the level is too dark. I think this is likely due to my monitors being exceedingly bright, so it didn't seem all that dark to me. I will be increasing the ambient brightness and making a few other small tweaks.

Hunter

Did you get it working?

Hunter

OK, I think I've found the problem. Download the level again and let me know what happens.

Hunter

What's your setup, video settings and D3 version? Need to isolate this issue as I haven't been to reproduce it on multiple systems, but have this reported twice now. The only consistent pattern so far has been with people that don't have the GOG version. Edit: Got it, seems to be definitely related ...

Hunter

The level is now available! Grab it at Descent 3 Sector: https://sectorgame.com/d3/downloads/?nav=display&file=880 Or at MODDB: https://www.moddb.com/mods/omens Fair warning: You may need up to 2 hours to play through the entire level, if you want to find everything! Savegames do *not* work. Cur...

Listen to your AI overlord prior to embarking

Potential series, but for now just the one (quite large) level. The mission name is Omens, level is PTMC VCF.

Hunter

Omens: PTMC Vesta Covert Facility So over the the past few weeks I've been putting together a new singleplayer (and multiplayer co-op) level for Descent 3 that will feature new enemies and weapons from OVERLOAD, re-created with permission from Revival Productions. This is something of a combination...

First look at the game here (thanks to Pudlez):

Apparently it's being re-branded as just Descent, and is no longer a prequel.

Hunter

Keg Party

I think it might be worth making sure that there isn't two people converting the same level at the same time.

Hunter

I'm refusing to listen until I've played the campaign.

That's like hearing the entire soundtrack to a movie before you've seen it. It takes you out of the moment.
Pretty awesome to hear Jerry Berlongieri again, though!

Hunter

You think they're running on fumes? There is no mention of funding, but I assumed they have an investment from Little Orbit.

Hunter

Now that's a blast from the past

Hunter

Up your efforts even faster!

Hunter

There's nothing more irritating than trying to kill fast moving tiny robots on Insane difficulty.

I love the Mercenary levels. I'll be doing a Let's Play once I've finished Vertigo

Hunter

I'm (finally) doing a play through of the campaign on Youtube. Here are the first two missions:
And these are recorded on Linux

Hunter

They are still working on it. You can get news through something called brightlocker.

Hunter

Update: Gave up on Linux version after so many hard crashes, but was able to get the game running under WINE. The CD version was a no go, only the GOG version worked. It's fine with most wine versions, but it takes a few tweaks to select the right renderer and command lines depending on your setup.

Hunter

Bitchute is looking promising. It uses P2P tech.

Hunter

True, but that was ok in D1 - it seemed out of place in D2 though when you consider giants like the sidearm or Lou guard can appear in the same level.

Hunter

Flash hulks in Vertigo (or whatever they're called) have way too much HP compared to their physical size.

Hunter

I can't get the Linux one to fire up at all. It's just a blank screen. Under WINE I've managed to get the game installed, and I can even manually launch MAIN.EXE, but the launcher seems to be messed up at the welcome to descent 3 part - without the ability to select a renderer in the launcher I can'...

Hunter

It just needs some Pyros!

Or something similar..

Hunter

GREAT!!!

Hunter

Are you gonna replace the default phpbb logo?

Hunter

Ahhhhh! I mean, Ooooo...

Hunter

100 people? Nope. 1 person viewed this. Me. The others are all bots.

Maybe you're reaching a bit with this one, but I suppose it could be a subtle in-house joke or something. Only way to know would be to ask whomever made the cinematics.

Hunter

Don't forget to use the recommended command lines and 32-bit patch for best graphical quality. Aren't you able to get D3 running on a newer system?

Hunter

FreeSpace doesn't have 6DOF movement like Descent, but the style of gameplay is quite similar. Silent Fury is just a mod for a game that wasn't really designed for it, so it pales in comparison - and naturally they are quite different in many ways. On the HUD there should be a message that says 'OPE...

Hunter

Glad you liked it! To complete the final mission follow this: ( You need to shoot down the bombers coming out of the carrier. I think you get about 5 minutes to do it, after which the station takes too much damage and explodes. You may need to collect some extra weapons for this part, from the cache...

Hunter

A fatal bug was found in the initial release which caused Silent Fury to crash on some systems (usually after loading the first level). This SHOULD be fixed now, simply download the installer again or place this hotfix in your Descent 3 folder: https://sectorgame.com/d3/downloads/files/SilentFury_ho...

Hunter

The exe is just an installer, but I'm not sure if the level would work on Linux since it relies on some of the corrections made with the 32-bit patch (and it won't run smoothly on an old setup).
Still, you could try: https://sectorgame.com/d3/downloads/fil ... ntFury.zip
