Welcome to HLP. Please keep all appendages within the installation at all times. Flamethrowers are located underneath all seats, however, due to the rising cost of oil, the ID / evolution debate (don't debate me on whether or not there is a debate), , and the meaning of life, the napalm has been replaced with Holy Water. Plasma rifles are located in the weapons locker, but only Admins, , or a hyper-intelligent shade of blue have access to these areas. If you meet a Shivan in the ductwork it is most likely Carl, give him your lunch and back away slowly, odds are good you'll be fine. Recommend reading includes Karajorma's Freespace FAQ for general questions, and The Freespace Wiki for specific issues and questions.

Also, watch out, Holy Water can burn, and the flamethrowers are usually out in the main HLP forum

ROTFLOL!

I have to say that so far I have found the HLP BB to be the most civilized, humorous and friendly BB I have ever visited on the internet (with the disclaimer that I have never taken part in some OT discussion here ... )

For the hardcore D1 enthusiasts who are not satisfied with having D2 bot AI in D1 levels, I recommend to try D1X-Rebirth (find it on http://www.dxx-rebirth.com). It does however not support UDP/IP network play and is not multiplayer compatible with D2X-XL (or any other D2, that is).

You ********s!! I was playing in single player mode! AND I FORGOT TO SAVE.



*ahem*

Now that that's out of the way... Time to get my Descent 1 CD.







Does my original Descent 1 CD count as a hyper intelligent shade of blue? 
But, to awnser my first question: Does Descent 1 get any multiplayer lovin? Or is it all contained within D2-XL? (Because I don't have a copy of Descent 2.  )

[Ulala]

Actually, twice in this thread now all necessary D2 files have been uploaded. You can try on the first page, I think Nuke uploaded a set, and a few pages back I uploaded a set. Just download one of the .zips we put up, install the latest D2X-XL, and you're good to go! 

[MechMantis]

Well, got it to work, and played through the first few levels of Descent II. Now all I need is a multiplayer game to pop up so I can get atomized with REAL megas.

[Mars]

So whoever's hosting, set a date and time, you might want to set it to a about a week away so that we have more than 2 people this time.

[karx11erx]

No problems with level download in a LAN, but you may want to d/l the levels ahead of playing (e.g. from my D2 site, or from PlanetDescent).

Fixed some problems with improved UDP quality.

[MechMantis]

Wait... are we using v1.6.86? The only download I can find is 1.6.92.


Are the different versions compatable with each other? Or will I have to hunt down a download for the old one?

[CP5670]

Let's all try to use the same (latest) one to minimize any compatibility issues.

We can try a game tonight, if anyone else is available. I'll leave Trillian open starting from about 4:00 GMT; send me a message over MSN or ICQ if you want to play.

By the way, what does that CD look like in the back? My D2 CD is the most scratched up CD I have that still works.

[MechMantis]

It's PRISTENE! Nary a smudge upon it's rainbowed surface!

The case has protected it well.


Oh, and I'm up for a game tonight.

[Mars]

Okay, everyone go to .92 now, it's getting rather hard to get everyone on the same version of late.

Karx, your a workaholic.

[Ulala]

*needs to update*

Also, am I way off when I think Pacific time is 8 hours earlier than CP's GMT? If not, I've already missed the game. 

[CP5670]

Actually I meant 4:00 AM GMT, or 11:00 PM EST. Let's use one of the US timezones instead; GMT is too far off from most of our local times.

It's PRISTENE! Nary a smudge upon it's rainbowed surface!

The case has protected it well.

Well, I guess D1 didn't need the CD back in the old days while the D2 one had the cool music on it, so maybe that's why mine looks bad.

[Ulala]

I totally wish my D2 CD still worked so I could have the cool music! I haven't had luck with cool old music lately, AoE2 music doesn't work either and I remember enjoying it a lot. Oh well. 

Oh, 4am.. got it. 11pm EST would be 8pm Pacific. I'll be at a family gathering then.  I'll log on after and see if you guys are still going though. 

[karx11erx]

Karx, your a workaholic.

Negative on that.

[watsisname]

Yay, another game!  I'll try to join you all tonight. 

Any specific levels that we're going to fly?

[Mars]

We should try somthing on the D2XL website. FUBAR looks good

[MechMantis]

So, who's going to be hosting? (IP+Port, please)



AArrrgh!
It says "One tracker detected"... and then proceeds to NOT SHOW THE GAME!

I need specifics!!

[Mars]

CP is port is 28342 if it hasn't changed, it starts in ~five minutes

[MechMantis]

...Oh. That was the problem. You haven't started it. (You could start it now. I wouldn't care.)

[Mars]

No, like I said, CP is hosting, he should start in now, but Trillian says he's not online. I'll try IMing him now.
