I was playing Descent 2, and in Level 5 I found this interesting sign...
(http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/5840/freespaceind2hb1.jpg)
The text is a bit blurred, but it says "Freespace Operations".
Probably just a coincidence, seeing as Descent was developed before Parallax split, and Freespace after. Just thought it a bit interesting.
-
So there was a conspiraci ! I knew it. :)))
-
Well lots of things say freespace. Like my computer. Click on it and it has 50% freespace. :P (well thats free space, but neyah)
-
I once heard someone talking about freezing peas and thought they were a Freespace fan.
Foot really wedged in throat that time.
-
Its not just a coincidence. They had Descent : Freespace planned since Decent 2 came out.
-
What do you do to make Descent 2 work??? I want to play it again so badly...
-
We noticed this too in one of our multiplayer games last summer. I posted a screenshot somewhere in the big D2 thread. I had seen the sign many times in the past, but it was before FS came out.

Is it a standalone thing or is the original disk still needed?

We really need to do those again
-
Huh?
-
Yes I believe the original install is still required for D2X-XL.
-
Google Home of the Underdogs... they have it.

You need the original files, but they were posted somewhere in that thread. I think Ulala had a link somewhere, although I don't remember which page it was on.
-
BTW, you can play your original (D1) missions in that, too... I know www <dot> old-games <dot> ru has D1 and D2, works better with www.freedownloadmanager.org 's FDM.
You can use http://google.com/translate_t , put the website into it, and select the Russian to English conversion, that works pretty good. Otherwise your kind of stuck. Although, how much are they selling Descent for? Five bucks would be okay, it's still worth that; so ten bucks for both D1 and D2, if you can find where to get it. Hint: www.ebay.com , search for descent in the sub-category "Games"

Haven't managed to find any yet.

Did you check the links in my post?

I saw that post, and all the links are dead anyway. ;)

Nothing.

D2x-XL is meant to be played under XP without DoSbox. I want to find the game first because my Vertigo Series disk 1 broke six, seven years ago.

Yeah, I must have removed it a while ago when I cleaned out all the junk on my webspace. :p

D2 is too demanding for Dosbox. You'll be lucky to get more than 5fps on even the best processors today. On the other hand, there was an official native Windows patch for D2 that works fine on XP, from what I remember. Although it still uses software rendering and is pointless now that we have D2X-XL.
-
Well I found Descent, got XL working. But I'm not sure why the high resolution textures or models work.

You mean this? http://oregonstate.edu/~cornelic/d2files.zip (http://oregonstate.edu/~cornelic/d2files.zip)
Nuke originally posted these files, I believe. I just re-hosted them. Add the latest d2x-xl to them and you should have a working Descent 2 (in theory).
:)
-
Ok, extracting that gave me the Vertigo campaign, but I still don't have high-res textures. I have the latest version.
-
Hm, I don't believe I have the high-res textures, only the most necessary game files to get the thing to run.
-
Well have you looked at the movie that advertises D2X-XL? It shows high resolution pick-up sprites. I can't find them anywhere so I'm guessing they come with XL somewhere.
-
From http://www.descent2.de/links.html :
http://novacron.koolbear.com/
Try that :)
-
I own D2 and D3. Haven't beat D3 yet..
I should get back to it sometime.
-
lol do you have all the MODs for D3?
-Pyromania, Olympia Gold, others...
Hmm... I should package 'em all together & upload 'em to FileFront or something, that way ppl wouldn't have to go searching for them.
-
You could just direct people to PlanetDescent (http://www.planetdescent.com) for all of their mod needs as well. ;)
-
No, i havent seen any Mods, nor know how to install them for D2\3. Id try em out.
-
Ok, those links gave me the high resolution textures, unfortunately Descent II crashes now.
-
Heh, go to the sourceforge bug tracker page for D2X-XL and tell'em about it... but be sure you are using the latest version. (Currently 1.9.116 on 2/8/7)
