 |
|
DXX Rebirth in der Version 0.04 is out *wave*
-----English News Begin-----
2005/10/28
- D1X-Rebirth v0.04 RELEASED!
Features: fixed slow robots in the briefing / fixed exit-door in the briefing / better mouse control
For more information see Changelog (now included in every release)
- D2X-Rebirth v0.04 RELEASED!
Features: fixed crashes in the menu, automap and in secret levels / better mouse control
For more information see Changelog (now included in every release)
- Now I'm very proud to introduce you the newest DXX-Rebirth member:
Maystorm - aka Alexander 'Sascha' Henkel
As myself he lives here in germany. Since v0.03 is released he spend restless hours with the ports to find every little bug and helped me out to solve them as fast as possible. Further I want to thank him for creative ideas and his assistance with the D1X-Source. Welcome to the team, Maystorm!
- If v0.04 is going well and without new bugs I plan to implement some new features to the two ports. This includes a working cockpit for D1X in every resolution available. If this works this feature will be added to D2X as well.
Further I think about to increase the number of maximum extra levels D1X and D2X are able to hold. But since I'm note sure why this isn't working after all it will take some time.

-----English News End-----
I Begin with Beta Testing of D1X on the Weekend.
-----German News Begin-----
[img:b2316758c5]http://www.dxx-rebirth.de/img/logo.png[/img:b2316758c5]
Pünktlich zum 1-monatigen Bestehen des Projektes ist nun Version 0.04 Der Descent 1 und 2 Ports - D1X und D2X - verfügbar und bereit zum Download!
Erfreulicherweise war das Feedback auf das initial Release größer als erwartet, was mich motivierte und mir (wohl deswegen) half, die nächste Version innerhalb eines Monats zustande zu bringen. Dies ist zum großen Teil meinem besten BETA-Tester Maystorm zu verdanken.
Das Projekt gewinnt langsam Form und da ich annehme, dass in einem Programm nur eine endliche Anzahl von Fehlern existieren kann, nimmt das Projekt (welches bereits 'größer' wurde als ich erwartet habe) langsam Formen an. So sind alle derzeit bekannten, größeren Bugs beseitigt.
Zudem steht nun für alle, die sich am Projekt beteiligen wollen der aktuelle Sourcecode bereit.
Die Neuerungen in der v0.04 sind folgende:
D1X-Rebirth
* Verbessertes Mouse Movement
* Beseitigung der Grafikfehler im Intro
* Überarbeitung der Funkion zum Speichern und Laden eines Spielstandes
D2X-Rebirth
* Verbessertes Mouse Movement
* Beseitigung diverser Bugs, welche des Spiel gelegentlich in Menüs, Automap und Secret Levels zum Absturz brachten
* Überarbeitung der Command-Line Optionen
Für diese Version möchte ich im speziellen Rafer und hehejo danken, welche hier im Unixboard IRC channel tatkräftig dazu beigetragen, dass diese Version nun endlich fertig ist.
Zudem geht großen Dank an avaurus, der den Webspace sowie die Domain für der Projektseite zur Verfügung stellt.
Und obwohl die v0.04 gerade erst online gegeangen ist, sind die Arbeiten für die nächste Version bereits in vollem Gange.
Und es gibt noch eine Menge zutun. Geplant sind unter anderem:
* Anzahl der maximal möglichen Extra Levels von ca. 150 bzw 250 auch 5000 erhöhen
* Überarbeiten des Cockpit Codes um selbiges in jeder Auflösung zu nutzen
* Überarbeiten des Quellcodes
* Erstellen einer umfangreichen Dokumentaton für den Quellcode
Dies sind sehr umfangreiche und komplexe Themen, welche mich abermals zur Mithilfe aufrufen lassen.
Daher wird die Realisierung dieser Features - mit meinen momentanen Möglichkeiten - noch einige Zeit auf sich warten lassen (Bugs haben jedoch weiterhin Vorrang).
Habt ihr also C-Erfahrung und wollt dem Projekt helfen, so besucht die Contribute Sektion der Projektseite und nehmt Kontakt mit mir auf. Patches, Anregungen, Vorschläge, Kritik und natürlich ein wenig Lob sind immer gerne gesehen.
Ich wünsche euch viel Spass beim zocken der Version 0.04.
euer Zico

Here are some ebuilds for that classic game, Descent, to take over from the ageing d1x and d2x ports by Icculus.
Below is an ebuild for d2x-xl, a Descent 2 engine which is better for joystick play, with coloured lighting and hi-res textures - version history, command-line options, main forum, Linux support thread, SourceForge. This game has frequent releases. It can use the free demo data.
Edit: The d2x-xl ebuild has moved to bugzilla
Below are 2 ebuilds for DXX-Rebirth, which is better for keyboard play (due to the movement speed being faithful to the original game).
Edit: The d2x-rebirth ebuild has moved to bugzilla
Edit: The d1x-rebirth ebuild has moved to bugzilla
Ebuilds for Descent 3 (including its free demo) are also available

| As long as you have the data files, e.g. /usr/share/games/d2x/descent2.hog, I believe it will be OK. |

There is a Mac version of D2X-XL available, that should work with the Mac D2 data except with the movies.

Woot! It's nice to see the dev here  You're doing a fantastic job, it's difficult for me to even keep up with the version releases
Suggestions for further improvement:Fix keyboard gaming to be normal (original) speed
Write to only a directory such as ~/.d2x-xl
Enable midi, as in d1x-rebirth (probably best done via timidity)
Keep a version history (e.g. Sourceforge), rather than a redirection to the latest version (which breaks Gentoo's versioning) |

|

This is with a reasonably up-to-date Gentoo installation: | Code: | arch/ogl/libarch_ogl.a(fbuffer.o): In function `ogl_fbuffer_avail':

fbuffer.c:(.text+0x37c): undefined reference to `glBindFramebufferEXT'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status |
I can see these are from /usr/include/GL/glext.h. However, I can't find these symbols in /usr/lib/lib*GL* (or any library under /usr/lib, for that matter). What am I missing?
EDIT: I did not have opengl in my USE flags. This may have been the problem; I'm rebuilding and trying again.
EDIT 2: Re-emerging xorg-x11 with opengl added to USE flags did not help (and emerge --newuse doesn't show anything that looks likely to affect the problem). |

Can you emerge and play d2x from portage (with its opengl USE flag)? Are you using my ebuild?
I've just updated my ebuild to work with d2x-xl-1.5.76.
Edit: There is mention of an fbuffer error here.

I am using your ebuild, although if you've just changed it I'll have to grab it again. I cannot do it right now as I am at work, though; I'll try later.
Same thing happens with a manual build, though. |

Paul,
I am not aware of a speed problem with keyboard usage on Linux.
I am currently working on integrating Midi via SDL_mixer, which will also allow to play mp3 and ogg vorbis (which I will add playlist support for, once the midi stuff works). The sound format of D2(X(-XL)) is hmp though, which is similar to midi, but isn't midi, so I first need to write a conversion function (code available already). Expect something next week.
I have already registered a project at SF, and there is a (privately run) source repository allowing anonymous read access. See http://www.descent2.de/d2x-install.html for details.
d2x-xl will now read switches from /usr/local/share/d2x-xl/config/d2x.ini or /usr/local/share/d2x-xl/d2x.ini or from from ~/d2x.ini, searching for the file in that order and only processing the first occurance.
It is generally a good idea to read through the pages listed in the readme.txt coming with d2x-xl.
Grant,
Re the missing symbols: You should have OpenGL 2.0 installed on your machine. If you don't, you can try to get the function pointers using SDL_GetProcAddress, like in the Windows version. There's some code enclosed in #ifdef _WIN32 ... #endif you'd need to enable on your machine then. On my Linux distro (openSUSE 10.0), I am getting duplicate symbols if I do it that way, because these functions actually are officially available in OpenGL 2.0.
I'd prefer to continue technical D2X-XL discussions on the Descent BB though. If you need further help with this, mind contacting me there?

Midi music works in d{1,2}x-rebirth, with a decent AWE32 (Soundblaster) or MPU401-capable midi soundcard

That's awesome, everything works fine for me 
The only problem I had was the mouse sensitivity which was too low, but the solution to this can be

... and I have mightily improved Descent 1 support ... and added a few nifty new features (like a complete on-HUD weapon and equipment overview in the form of small icons).

Hi all !
I love Descent too I used to play it when i was young (10 years old in 1997-1998), but never played it since there (and i lost the cd).
Now I want to play it again on my Gentoo, so i'll try your ebuilds. Thanks for all
The only problem is to get the cds again (but i'll find it ^^) |

Hey,
just wanted to let you know that v1.6.47 is available now, supporting rendered movies and briefing audios for Descent 1. Get the files via my Descent site's download page.
