I'd play

hey Dtile, I'm standing in the middle of that one pic with the rows of computers. ^_^

Sup Griffin. Whats your contact info? I'd enjoy hearing about your latest shenanigans.

I've submitted LoveGLaDOS to a Portal mapping contest -- feel free to vote if you think it's worthy:

I used UT3 last summer for about 3 months during an internship, but I haven't struck out on my own with it yet. What kind of stuff have you been doing with it, Duper?

Hello Descent pals. I made a new Portal map and I figured there'd be some fans of the game here. Designing a Portal level is the closest feeling I've gotten to designing a Descent level and, um... it's a damn good feeling.

thanks m8

Bump.

Pre-war intelligence hearing on C-Span:

Cool game -- the gravity flips and '4D' portals are a nice change from standard FPS. It's unfortunate that there wasn't more interactivity with objects (to move an object, it seems one is forced to bump into it with one's knees). The guys who made this game (HumanHead Studios) also made Rune, which ...

Many key figures are interviewed.

I'm lookin forward to this PC videogame history lesson box.
Also, Sirian helped make Civ 4.

I think amphetamines play a role in a lot of these cases. Or maybe we just hear about the occasional peeps who happen to have a weak constitution. Or both.

Look in your D2 Missions directory, open the .mn2 file with notepad

Edward, check the mn2 (or D1 equivalent) file. Make sure it is referring to a filename with the extension included. For D2 you should have "levelname.rl2" referred to in the .mn2 file, rather than just "levelname".

I don't hate Spaz's maps, so much as I think they are overrated. The biggest problem is that there is very little application of the Y-axis. In Unreal Tournament, there is a heavy emphasis on Y-axis (technically Z-axis in their terms) in maps. If you look at most of the levels that came with it ...

thanks grendel. I did what you said but I couldn't get the slider exactly centered so it was always either on X1 or Y2, but then I changed my config so that the slider controlled throttle, and then the game stopped thinking that my slider controlled both the X1 and X2 axes. weirdness. somehow it ...

I'm having difficulty getting my 3dpro's twist to work properly in D1x. The joystick's detected, and under joystick config when I hit enter to set the twist to bank l/r, the twist is already activated it seems, cuz the "Y2" appears the moment I hit enter, and then ingame my ship is constantly ...

In my opinion, Spaz is simply the best 1on1 level designer.

I'm able to make more 3D levels (and add pretty textures and make cool designs etc.) but I generally choose not to. I do, however, try to incorporate some interesting designs, but I am and always have been a member of the Spaz school of thought: if a cool design gets in the way of gameplay, then ...

it's a chameleon raincoat

I've made a new D2 level. It's my first since I made Wyndham back in 1998 or so. It's called Feces 2 and is optimized for 2-4 players.

My friend's comp has no gameport so he can't use his SW 3D Pro. I've heard that the Saitek Cyborg 3D is a good USB joystick. Anyone recommend any others for Descent 2, or know whether the Saitek is any good (for D2)?

thanks

Hello Descent pals. I'm trying to find some opponents for D2 -- I recently got the game running. One-on-one, teamgames, FFA, it's all good. If you're up for a game (I use D2X-win32), leave me your contact info here, or talk to me on AIM (nickname: graxleeper) or email me (gracks "at" gmail "dot" com ...

D2X-win32 and DLE are badass projects. I don't know these chaps Diedel and Lehm, but I feel they deserve all the praise one can tactfully give.

Also, I'd like to extend my thanks to all the nerds on the DBB who have helped beta test the program.
