watsisname,

 Speed! or Glass House. Check my D2 site, multiplayer level section for screenshots, you might tell which it was when seeing them. I'd like to know which one it was.

Ah, yes it was speed.  Very interesting level except it kept crashing.  I'll see what happens if I try playing that level and I'll post the result.  EDIT:  I tried playing it as a host and the same problem occured, except this time it CTD's almost immediately.  There isn't a debug window or error message, it simply quits.  EDIT2:  I also tried "glass house" and the same problem occurs.  I'm starting to think that the problem is due to the teleporters, but I reall don't know for sure.  :confused:
 
BTW, Ulala's level has exploded (kill limit reached) so until he restarts the game I will host my own at ip=71.126.129.146.  The level will be "fire and steel".  Hope to see you all there! :)

Curious, I have had it up and running since my last post.  Could you try using the other ip address (192.168.0.101)?  I'm still unsure of which ip the game is actually using.  (It says the second ip for host address when I host a game, but my actual ip adress is the first one).  If both ip's fail to show anything, then...  :confused:

Re: semi-sub-offitial hlp super happy descent 2 mu
There isn't anything showing up at either address for me. I think it could be some firewall related issue on your end.

I could try hosting it, although I'm not sure whether my game will be visible either. The IP is 69.138.167.250.

Re: semi-sub-offitial hlp super happy descent 2 mu
Some fun times again tonight. :D Did anyone ever manage to hit the switch behind that fan? I think a particularly lucky child missile from a smart or earthshaker may be the only way to get that, as it looks like a phoenix ball wouldn't fit.

Also, karx, I have been playing through your Warp Shockwave mission and noticed two bugs. The briefings aren't showing up since the txb's filename doesn't match up with the current version hog's filename (can be fixed by just renaming that txb file). The secret level seems to have some problem as well. It says it can't read the level file when I enter the secret teleporter in the Nautilus level. I changed the weaptest.rl2,5 in the mn2 file to weaptest.rl2,4 and it seems to fix that problem, but when it tries to load the level, it just freezes in the loading screen.

These levels are remarkable, quite unlike any of the other mission packs I have played. I never thought the D2 engine was capable of all that. Very impressive. :yes:

CP5670,

thx for the hint. I have fixed the mission and uploaded it.

In what mission is that switch behind the fan you want to hit?

Re: semi-sub-offitial hlp super happy descent 2 mu
It was the Dogfight map (the one on your site, not the official four-level pack that comes with D2). Firecrack was trying to hit something behind the fan near the omega cannon's enclave, which I'm guessing was a switch.

It's pretty easy to hit that switch. Load it up in singleplayer and practise a little. Using that map makes sense with 'fixed powerup spawn points' (gameplay options menu), as then the big missiles will always spawn in that shaft, making it somewhat risky to get them - the price for having the big artillery ... ;)

Btw, how did you like that map? I think the rooms might be a little large ...

Try Circus Maximus, it might play very well with 4 or more players.

Dogfight was actually very nice with three people, one of the better maps we've played in my opinion. The fights took place everywhere in the level rather than being concentrated in one room like in some of the other levels we played.

Wasn't that a D3 map? That name sounds vaguely familiar.
