Monstrosity

Here's a cover piece I've done of D1 level 19. Even if you didn't like the original, give this a try. It has quite a different feel!

D2 System themes

I've composed a theme music for each system in Descent 2. The music is in mp3 format and I have a playlist included.

Download D2 System Themes.zip

Track 1 is a cover peice of D1 level 19. Even so, it's very good.

You have to click the link, then download from one of the mirror sites.

I've got it, but I still have a major issue. Which .exe file do I point d3edit to? There are quite a few.

Tiris is a planet in the Beta-Ceti system, fictional obviously, but I've heard that system was also the setting for D2 Vertigo.

Interesting fact - Beta Ceti and Zeta Aquilae are real star systems, but the planets in there in Descent were made up.

Just as an aside - There is something really interesting with some mercenary robots - specifically the Black Stormtrooper and the Creeper. They're each made of two pieces, which automatically attach - no scripting required! Also, the Creepers do wierd things with lighting. btw - I found another site...

I'm using Internet Explorer. I think my browser actually has some bugs, because it gives me errors when I try to access some sites, including that one.

I don't know exactly which browser, but I know there is some sort of security which stops me from playing multiplayer. If it helps, our service provider is Shaw Canada.

I'm trying to get the virtual compiler. When I tried to get to the site mentioned in the d3sdk, my browser couldn't access it. Also, my mom would kill me if I was emailed by someone I had never met, and my family only has one computer and one email adress. Maybe someone could upload the compiler so ...

After a few tries, I got the Merc bots working. I used Hogview32 to extract the five AIgame.dll files from the mercenary mn3 file, put them in my mission, and the AI worked. I still haven't had a chance to get the mission scripted - I can't find a compiler because my browser couldn't open the site p...

I might be able to do something along the line of Midi music, I have three really good compositions sitting on my midi piano, and an idea for another one, but I can't record them into Acid Music Studio without problems. If I could get some help with that, I could do the other one. All three of them ...

Silly Question

I've just been wondering... Has anyone else used the mercenary robots in D3 SP missions? I've seen the welders in Mission At Saturn, but I would like to get some levels with other robots from mercenary. Sorry, I meant that I got the mercenary robots to work, but I have no compiler for the scripts I ...

Mercenary Robots

If I extract the AIGame dll and str files from the mercenary hog file, and then put them into an mn3 file where the levels have robots from the mercenary campaign, will the robots do anything? When I tried it without that file, they just stood still, but I'm not sure that putting the dll and str fil...

Purpose of the Class 2 Supervisor Robot

No, it doesn't make other robots any smarter. Instead, it shows them where you are, especially in level 21 of D1, where it opens a secret door containing a red hulk. If it can't do this, then it usually drops valuable powerups, or sometimes robots, like in level 25. The purpose of the class 2 superv...

Level 16 - Omega Defense Spawn

I was watching my brother play D2 a while ago. He was up against the Limefrost Spiral boss in level 16, and, as usual the boss utterly annihilated him (we didn't know we had to use matter weapons at that time.) The wierd thing came after his ship was destroyed. An Omega Defense spawn came into the m...

I've never completed any of the official campaigns on any difficulty level, and I keep trying (on trainee. Any time I try anything higher I'm completely slaughtered within the first few rooms.)

I warped to the final level of Descent as soon as I got it installed for the second time. Before that, I had reached level 7 at trainee and couldn't defeat the boss (it killed me about 2 seconds into the battle each time I tried). Needless to say, on level 27, at trainee, the farthest I've gone is t...

I can't listen to them right now; I'm at school, but, in my opinion, the D1 and D2 MIDI's are awesome, so I look forward to hearing them when I get home.

Can't get D2X-XL working

I just downloaded d2x-xl, and the game works fine until I select a profile. When I select a profile, it crashes. Any help would be deeply appreciated.
