Re: semi-sub-offitial hlp super happy descent 2 multiplayer action!
The port is 28342, I don't no if there's going to be a game up tonight or not, whatsisname is the only person currently able to host, so it sort of hinges on his schedule.

Well, if you host a game, you should use 28342.  But when joining, you can typically use "0" to indicate that you don't care what port you play on.

I have a game up on the tracker right now, hosting with the Mac version after (I think) fixing the bug that was causing Mac hosting to not work.  Can someone try and join?  Do note that, currently, in order to see my game, you SHOULD put "28342" in the client port field when trying to join my game.  Mars said he could see it, but couldn't join.  I'm using Hydrolysis Plant from descent2.de (use the side menu to go to the Level Spotlight section) -- you should get that mission before attempting to join my game.  If you see a "?" preceding the level name for my game on the tracker, you haven't installed Hydrolysis Plant correctly.

Ok guys, game will be up in a minute, starting on "Neptune" as our mission. :)  I should be able to host for about an hour.

It's not working too well tonight anyway. We have run into quite a few problems.

Cobra, I'm going to a Counterstrike (shareware D2) level.  Try joining again.

Cobra, try this: create a folder called "missions" at the same level as your folder called "data" and your d2x-xl application.  Any maps that you download from descent2.de (they should include a .hog file and a .mn2 file) should go in this missions folder.

I'm not sure what happened last night. It seemed to lag heavily for me whenever I entered a room with another player. Oh well. Hopefully we'll have better luck next time.

Can't see your game.  A guy from the DescentBB may be hosting a game, too, and I know that most people can see his game -- so check for that, and maybe we can all play.

EDIT: The game is up, you need to get Gigadeath 2 at http://www.dfiles.de/download/d2/missions/gigadth2.zip
EDIT2: Now Styx: http://www.descent2.de/missions/styx.zip

Oh, heh.  You might try taking the missions out of the missions folder, then, and putting them in the same folder as the d2x-xl application.  Although it would probably be easier to create a data folder and dump everything (except for the dll files and the d2x-xl application) in there.

missions must reside in the missions folder, or a subfolder of it.
