Also, the mission folder doesn't seem to work. Is there a file that needs to be in the main dir? Perhaps i moved it.

Check your ini to see if it's specified.

D1X or D2X mission folder?
In D1X the -missiondir command overrides the default directory.

oops! sry, i ment d1x. ah, i think it'd diabled in th e ini file then. (duh) It was kinda wierd too. I could see the games in the list, but the game would CTD without hanging when i tired to play any of the levels.

Thanks guys.

Hm I will do small changes on this thing however (mostly because of D2X) ... I will take a look to this bug then.

Not a bug, but more along the lines of a feature request. The ability to do direct tcp/ip gaming like in w32. Nothing fancy, just a display of your ip and port when you are at the screen to host your game and the ability for others to connect to you using your IP address. If you can do that, that would be great!

Also, I tired rebirth in Vista, and the axis mappings for the mouse aren't being detected correctly. When I try to do up/down, it detects it correctly, but when I map side to side it still maps it to up and down. Granted Vista is new and im not using this OS exclusively so its not a big deal for me but its just an FYI.

Okay. What you want is already in D1X. The UDP/IP feature should do that. It's not already implemented to D2X and currently I doubt I will have enough time to do it in a near future...
Actually I tried to play with that code some days ago, but currently no go.

I also can't say so much about the axis mapping on Vista. I still have no copy and I also haven't planned to buy a license ... too much money for a program I basically do not need.
But let's see if I can find something out about this.

I found that when I take screenshots, they come out all black. I see nothing. Load 'em into photoshop and change the levels - nothing. Pure blackness.

And, when I'm in a game, and press ESC or F2 or try to bring up any of the menus, nothing shows up and the screen starts displaying this halo effect. This only happens on my laptop.

How are you trying to take screenshots? Printscreen? Check your video drivers. If that doesn't help, try using fraps.

I use the \"printscreen\" buttons. What's 'fraps'? And my video drivers are fine.



n/m I found it that works.

In version .50, when playing multiplayer udp/ip in a standard level of descent 1 whichever it might be, the song only loops once, and doesn't loop for the rest of the game. I don't know if its a bug or whatnot, but i found it troublesome, i like the music (apart from the changed windows midi fonts). I played from level 2 through 8 or so, and in every level same deal.

New version has been out since Feb.
Try updating to version .51 and see what happens.

In version .51 of D2X, the game crashes whenever I want to use the automap in Secret Level 3. It only does this here, as far as I've noticed. Any thoughts on the issue?

Was there an error message, or did it dump to windows? What INI settings do you have enabled? (d2x.ini, open with notepad)

The bug within secret levels is known.

And it's also fixed already. We are currently in Closed Alpha Testing phase and now we are moving to Beta next week. I am just not sure if this will be a Closed or Open Beta test.

Anyways I think the new version will be out in the first week of may.

Yes, there's only been a dump right to Windows. But if it's fixed, then I'll be sure to check out the update in a few weeks.

Tried the D2 level \"Creeper\" by Hellfire and none of the custom textures worked. o_0

Oh.. new version .52

Oh I built a homer with custom textures? I'll check that out.

EDIT:
I re-uploaded the windows package for D2X-Rebirth-0.52 which has that Texture loading bug fixed. Please just download it again, replace the EXE file and it won't happen anymore....
Sorry again.

dude! thanks!

one other small thing. Perhaps this is my vid card.

When the image of the bots begins in the briefing, they get a momentary flash of what reminds me of solarization. ... like in photography. It doesn't last, just a flash and then it disappears.

You mean the D2 robot briefings? If yes, that is currently related to the Redrawing menus.
I will see if I can adjust that a little bit in the future.

REally??? cool!

and yes, its the D2 briefings.

But just to get this straight:

When a robot displays you see it in the first moment in another color (I mostly see a blue scheme). Then it displays correctly, right?
Or is this constantly broken for you? This should just be a thing of some milliseconds.

It's just a quick flash. Mostly yellows and reds. Then it displays normally. When it goes to the next bot in the briefing, the same thing happens.

Mhm yes this is the same thing I noticed, too. Didn't find this too hard, but I will fix it again.

yes I have quick green flash in D2 video intro and brief next bot in quick blue flash...

I downloaded D2X-Rebirth ver. 0.52 recently. The game runs very beautifully, but I did notice a few issues. I happened to notice that the sounds in the intro and ending movies aren't fully in synch. The sound is about a split second behind the video. Best way to tell this is when the MD presses the Warp Drive Jump button. I'm not sure if the other movies are the same way or not. Second, if someone ever decided to view the credits it will close the program whether they fully view it or exit it early. Third, I do also get that alternate color flash during the robot briefings and in certain movies. Also during the briefings, the text plays out in the first screen, but the rest of the screens will give all the text at once. It's like pressing 'Enter' twice. Otherwise, the game runs with no problems so far.

Just one little bug for your heads up that I noticed in version 0.52. Right before the main movie loads and again before the game selection menu comes up, the screen flashes white for a second. It used to flash a black screen during these transition periods.

Not a killer, I just noticed the change. Probably my old TNT2 graphics card.

yup, I posted that like 4 posts ago.

Oops! Read before write. Bummer. Keep up the good work Zico.
