No, it's D2X-XL. I know how textures work and it's NOT NovacroN's problem.

Sirius: Mainly I had just set it at lowest here to make the problem more pronounced.

D3Hack

Lol. :P :lol:
Naw, only because there's no strikethrough tag. We need one of those (hint, hint). :P

DLE-XP still crashes when loading one of my levels. :(

Upon doing further research into the duplicate mine thing, I found that it happens on any depth perception setting except \"off\". You end up ...

D3Hack

Is this supposed to happen when using hi-rez textures with texture quality at the lowest?

It also happens at any other texture quality except highest, it's just the most severe at lowest.

D3Hack

DLE-XP crashes when loading levels edited with a recent version of DLE-XP if they have custom textures. This happens on both of my recent missions. They both are D2X-XL type and have features D2X-XL features. Both have custom robots and textures. If I take away the custom textures, they load. The ...

TY for making this thread, Diedel. :)

Anyhow, here we go:
\"Texture Quality\" slider appears where it should when using \"Configure...\" from the main menu, but not when using F2 in-game (then it's nowhere to be found). Does it even do anything anyhow?
\"briefing.mid\" still plays during D2 ...

Well then, does anyone mind if I set up a temporary thread for MS Windows bug reports until the official one starts working again?

D3Hack

I just tried the D1X-R thing, and I just have one thing to say:
WHOOOOOAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

That was so cool! :shock: :D 8)

It even supports my custom robots, textures, and sounds that I have in my WIP mission! :D 8)

As far as D2 is concerned, I'm for D2X-XL (Hooray Diedel!), but for D1... D1X-R by ...

KB, I use IE7 beta 2. I can't get to anywhere in that topic but the first page no matter what.

I also tried it in FireFox... same result. :?

EDIT: OK, that's not entirely true. If I manually hit \"next\" on each page to get to the next one, I can get to page 28. After that it does the same thing ...

D3Hack

Uh, yeah, I have a question... Why can't I get to the D2X-XL MS Windows Bug Report page??? :? :x

It takes forever to load, and it gives me the first page, despite the fact that it shows as the last page. Is this a DBB bug or what is it?? :?

And can I post my bug reports here or something since I ...

D3Hack

Thanks, AUS. Teh file is huge, so I applied maximum compression. I didn't think it would cause problems like this.

D3Hack

Uh-oh... somehow I ended up double-posting and it won't let me delete this one!

D3Hack

Well, since it looks like I'll be distributing the main HOG file anyway...
Download it now!

Have fun! :D

P.S, I would've put it in a different hog file, but then it wouldn't have had the movies in it. (ie the system warp and exit sequence ones)

Also, Diedel, if you want to put this on your site ...

So... the briefing music should NOT get played during the briefing?

No. It's odd, but... no. Only that briefing hum should be played.

D3Hack

Well, yeah... maybe... :P
Actually, what could maybe be done would be a per-wall option of whether or not light can pass through it. Then maybe you could store that data in the *.lgt file... Might work. :)

Something else I just discovered (not sure if this is DLE-XP or D2X-XL's problem, but...) is ...

D3Hack

Lighting goes through walls. Yes, I consider this a bug. :P

For example, if I have a red light on one side of the door, the light will come through the door, turning things on the other side red as well.

Wait a minute... haven't you been working on this? Ohwell, you could always use more pressure ...

D3Hack

I'm hearing this strange music in D2 briefings... all the time, every time. I believe that the music is actually \"briefing.mid\" in DESCENT2.HOG, but it should never be used.

In the latest version, it takes me at least a second to accellerate to full speed, when I used to accellerate to full speed almost instantaneously.

D3Hack

Hello there, it's me again! :mrgreen:

Anyway, here are a few bugs I recently found in the latest version...

#1: I've found a few problems with menus here and there. I have the new menu style on, as well as fast menus. Here's one problem that I got by simply starting D2X, and clicking \"Configure ...

D3Hack

Yes. Really spoils the professionality (if there is such a word

) of the mission, as well as the seriousness.

D3Hack

All aforementioned problems are fixed in the latest version. Thanks Diedel!

[quote=Diedel]It would be sufficient to simply go to the screen res menu and change the screen res and then set it back to the desired value.[/quote]
Odd... I had tried that, but it only worked in windowed mode...

D3Hack

I don't have any problems with it either, and I'm using IE. I do agree that the threshold should be increased, or the behavior removed entirely. I usually find it more of a nuisance than anything else.

But... I don't post here that much, so...

D3Hack

D3Hack,

works for me. :?
Strange. You know what's stranger? I ran it in windowed mode to see if it would work, and it did. I switched back to fullscreen, and now it works fine again. WTF. :?
The problem with the screen turning black and then the colors going whacko when I tried to switch to a ...

Secret Level 1->Levels 3 and 4
Secret Level 2->Levels 5 and 8
Secret Level 3->Level 12
Secret Level 4->Level 14

Those are the only ones I can remember offhand...

D3Hack

How hard would this be to implement? You could name an *.hxm or a *.pog file the same as the *.hog instead of the *.rl2. Then if the *.rl2 had one as well it would take higher precedence. This would be nice so that you could save filespace and time by just having one *.hxm and *.pog file per mission ...

D3Hack

Pretty cool, only they could use some color.

D3Hack

changed. I once thought it would make sense that way, but found it was rather a nuisance.
That's better. Thx. :)
I can see why you would want it to be like that some times, but yeah more times than not it's just annoying.

One more thing about hi-res textures... On any given cube side or wall or ...

D3Hack

jakee, I don't understand what you're saying, but I do know this: the HXM file shouldn't match the name of the hog file, it should match the name of each level.

Custom Robots are TEH RAWK!

D3Hack

If I set a side of a cube to be a hi-res texture, then try to align it using "Reset Texture" in the texture dialouge, it is aligned as if it were a 64x64 texture, which in my case is only half the size of the actual texture. This means that it will be 2x too small. I can work around this by ...

D3Hack

How about support for (hi-res?) true-color briefing backgrounds? You could store them in *.tga files instead of *.pcx. Then it would be nice to have RGB color tags in briefings, instead of a specific index; ie "$C#FF0000", "$C#00FF00", and "$C#0000FF", which would produce red, green, and blue ...

D3Hack

NM my problem, I found a suitable workaround by setting 1st texture->water1-2 or -3, then setting second texture->water1-1. That gives the intended effect and you'd never know I had done it like that.
