#1 What's wrong?

Uh. Well... There is no padding on the right side of the score window. Sometimes there is and sometimes it looks like it does on that screenshot.

Here are two more bugs.

This minor bug I've had since I got D2X-XL but failed to report it (Around the .150's). Sometimes the window is fine, and sometimes it's collapsed on the right side like shown on the image below.

And this one started either ...

What's with the new version of D2X-XL including a player file?

Also... double check your text for the 2 sliders... one of them (particle size, i think) has "large" for both, the highest and 2nd highest notch.

Smoke works fine for me in single-player.

Another bug for .166

The first mission I load after booting up D2X-XL seems to work fine, then these error messages occur after attempting to load any other missions except the official ones.

Bug for .166

#1) The first missile launch in a new game (Doesn't matter which game) doesn't show a smoke trail.

#2) Odd colored font in briefings. (This happened in the previous version as well)

RatoN,

your level is good and solid work. It might however be a little on the large side, and personally I'd prefer it to be somewhat darker. ;)
Haha... Suncho said the same thing, but I guess I perfer well lit levels.

Regarding the size, I personally thought it was a little on the small side ...

1.5.159

I was playing a quick game of Descent II coop with a friend and disabling friendly fire only effected him. I couldn't harm him, but he was able to harm me. (He was the server host)

Also occasionally there were robots he saw that I couldn't. And when detonating the reactor, only one of us ...

I just finished this anarchy level for Descent 2 called Thanatos I figure I'd share.

1a) press escape to get back to main menu

Oh, yeah I do press escape and choose load game.

RatoN,

cannot reproduce. Please tell me the steps to reproduce it in more detail.

Problem still persists in v1.5.156 so here are the following two steps that I use to recreate it.

1) Goto "Join Netgame" (Shouldn't matter which one).
2) Load Game (Doesn't matter for which game).

If I don't goto ...

Was using D2X-XL, sorry (Understand I haven't been in the Descent loop for sometime).

The other version being just running the descent2.exe, assuming D2X-XL didn't overwrite any files to skew the results.

D2X-XL revealed the seam more noticably than regular Descent 2, but it's still there in both ...

1.5.154

I know I'm driving you in circles with these bugs, but here is another one I'm able to recreate. When I goto look for netgames games (Doesn't matter which one), back out and load a game, I don't have any control over the ship and upon firing my missile, I recieved these series of ingame ...

Oh, interesting. Expert or not though, that's a mistake anyone can make.

Thanks for bringing that option to my attention.

When opening a map with DLE-XP, the \"Delete\" button is a little close to the \"Okay\" button, and I finally accidently hit it, deleting my map (Thank god I had a backup). My suggestion is that it asks if you're sure you want to delete the selected file.

Bug Report 1.5.151

Under any of the join netgame screens, the text is misaligned.

I'm relatively newb when it comes to Descent level making in DLE/DMB, so I'm hoping someone can help me out with this. There are seams in the textures caused by the second textures wraping by one pixel. Example shown on link below:

I remember this rumor flying around awhile ago. Even had a listing at IMDB.

Hmmmm... Interesting. I wonder why Interplay didn't make a Descent movie. Does anyone have more detailed information on this apparent Descent movie?
Can't tell you. Back then I was more keen on the idea, but the ...

1.5.149

I can no longer move after loading a saved game. The ship doesn't hover or anything. All I can do is shoot.

Bug for 1.5.148


When I go into the tracker netgame server browser where you look for games, and I put the window out of focus (Not necessarily minimized, because I run windowed mode), D2X stops responding when I click back.

EDIT: New information surfaces. This time the game stopped responding ...

I have a suggestion

Descent 1 and 2 missions share the same .hog file type. If you have a Descent 1 and 2 mission with the same file name, they can conflict, so my suggestion is a seperate folder for Descent 1 missions.

1.5.146:

Still can't load Descent 2: Counterstrike. I'll try messing around with it.

I can see trackers now! Yay! Daily Suncho games at 4:00pm CST are back on for tomorrow. =)
Yeah, I still have the same problem.

Also I still get Descent 1 mission crashes. Next time it happens, I'll try to pin ...

Bug for 1.5.145

Loading Vertigo on works on \"Start New Single Player Game\" now, but broke Descent 2: Counterstrike in return. Can't restore the saved games either.

I don't know if this was mentioned in the 53 page thread, nor do I know if this is a bug

But the game doesn't auto pause when I hit escape, or goto the options menu. Figured I'd put that out there since it's a little weird to me.

Diedel wrote:RatoN,

which program do you execute to play descent? What is its name?

Raptor,

patient.

Not sure what you mean. I'm using D2X-XL, so d2x-xl.exe.

Regarding the crashes I was getting (Which happens kind of often), I got the crash report, but I wasn't sure how to copy it down (Or if it would be any help). It said it included this following xml file it put in a temp folder.

http://mortalvision.dyndns.org/e80e_appcompat.xml

Does that say ...

I need to know where D2X-XL crashes when playing D1 missions. A savegame from short before a crash occurs would be very helpful.
For me it seems to be random. The first crash occured immediately after hitting the exit. I played the same level to recreate it, and it crashed short of, while just ...
