I was a little busy today, but we could try tomorrow night if anyone else is available.

[Mars]

define : today

July the 15^th or 16^th?

[CP5670]

heh, by tomorrow night I meant the 16th, looks like it was already past 12:00 here when I made that post.

Edited: Unfortunately it turns out I won't be able to host tonight, but Monday night is still a possibility.

I wish I were able to host a stable (never, ever crashes) dedicated server. I'll try to get on tonight, but it'll be like 8pm Pacific time, so I dunno if you guys will still be on then. I'll check though.

@watsisname: We played some Canasta and Pinnocle (sp?). I'm a big fan of Spades myself. Texas hold 'em is fun, but I tend to lose... a lot. 

[CP5670]

It may be a few days before I can play again, as my internet connection is quite messed up at the moment and has been sporadically going up and down since our last game. It's time to complain to Comcast again...

[watsisname]

I guess I'll start up a game now, so try to join if you can.
Ulala:  Hmm, I've never played either of those card games.  I'll have to look into them.
CP:  Hope your connection problems get fixed soon.

Edit:  Ok, this isn't good.  My antivirus keeps b****ing at me about a PUP, and I can't get it fixed/deleted/quarantined.  I'll post back when (if) I resolve this problem.
Edit2:  Ok, got it fixed.  Nasty little bugger called "adware virtumundo"   Thankfully I have made it quite dead.

[Ulala]

Is it still up? (10:30pm Pacific)

[watsisname]

Sorry about last night... I unintentionally fell asleep at the computer while doing a virus scan, and woke up with the worst neck cramp ever.
Anyways, we could try again tonight or something if you'd like.  Just let me know when you're free again.

When I do a Virus scan, I either get me a coffee and something to do, or I go to bed.

A guy from the DescentBB named sushi.h.a has built an absolutely awesome recreation of Descent 1:First Strike Level 1, and has inspired me to try rebuilding the first level of D1:First Strike after his example. Ofc, the D2 engine doesn't allow for such glory as the UT2K4 engine does, but I like the challenge - and his architecture is so great, I just want to have it in D2X-XL.

The level is available as download on my Descent site, single player level area.

Get d2x-xl v1.6.109 (or above) and use -gl_alttexmerge 1. If running out of memory, decrease texture quality in the advanced render options menu. Use Novacron's and DizzyRox' hires textures for the best visuals.

[CP5670]

Whoa. That actually looks more like D3, especially in the second picture. I'll definitely have to try this out.

On a side note, my internet connection seems to be more stable now and I should be able to play this weekend. Tonight would work if anyone else is available.

[karx11erx]

Get the hires textures from novacron.koolbear.com and dizzyrox.koolbear.com.

[karx11erx]

A zip file with only the hires textures required for LOR is available as download now; find the link on the singleplayer missions page of my Descent 2 site.

Hey guys, I'm back from a short vacation at the beach, so I'll be able to play again.  Is Monday night good for anybody?
And holy carp @ the pimped out D1 level.  That's truely awesome!  *downloads*

[Mars]

The link on your website seems to be FUBAR

[karx11erx]

Which link? To the level?

[Mars]

To the textures.

[CP5670]

Monday sounds good. See you then.

[karx11erx]

Texture link fixed.
