In the Windows XP build of D2X-R Beta 2, every time I run a coop game, I hit start and get a black screen while everyone else enters the level. They get the message that the host left the game and are kicked out. Then I am allowed into the level.

I have gotten consistent results across every mission I've tried. This isn't limited to game starts either - this happens at the start of every level.

I have the CD audio tracks in .flac format.  How do I put them inside a .dxa file so that Descent 2 plays the CD audio?  Do the .flac files themselves have to follow a specific naming convention? (like Quake 1's CD audio in the sourceport Quakespasm goes in quakespasm/ID1/music/track02.flac, track03.flac, etc.)

Chrome (and likely other browsers) are now marking the site as Not Secure.

Is there a way to run unit tests? I haven't found it yet. I feel like I must be missing something obvious but reading over the installation notes I don't see anything about test suites or test vectors.

Mainly I'm asking because I'm loving playing D2 in this awesome port, it is so beautiful and the gameplay feel is so authentic, but the crashes are pretty disheartening.

This is just a heads-up note that commit ccc2a288f180e826bda2c91bf382b242ce0e1c99 was a breaking change that ends up with a compile failure in font.cpp on MacOS X (Xcode 7.3.1). 

I'm playing the Apocalyptic factor mission downloaded from the

DMDB: http://www.enspiar.com/dmdb/viewMission.php?id=418

This mission is supposed to have a long briefing, but it doesn't play, it goes straight into the game.

Also the boss in level 3 doesn't move. It's supposed to be a diamond clawing boss that chases and claws the player.

Briefings and the boss works in 0.58. But not in 0.60.

Hey! I opened port 42424 so I could host. When I do, it all works fine until the other person joins. Then I get this error:



Any tips? I have no idea what is meant by "too many blown bitmaps". "Blown bitmaps" only has like 4 results on Google lol

I have asked this a few years ago, but I thought now might be a good time to try this again.

How hard would it be to implement AO for the tunnels?

Hey all, first post on this amazing community.

So I was giving compiling on Mac OS a go and immediately ran into trouble. Loaded the project into Xcode but "Product->Build" gives me an error "C++ linker does not work with blank $LIBS". I'm wondering if this is a normal and known error with some common fix for the project or if my build environment is fubar.

Back story; my 5-yr old (too young?) loves playing Descent 2 with me, and he wants me to change one of the missiles so that instead of damage, upon impact the robot becomes "silkwing" or "imagespace". Well, as a developer dad, of course I find the source code and get to work. But I'm stuck at Step 0.

Here's the full stack.

As soon as feature freeze wears off, I'd like to see this implemented.
The idea is that you can manage DXAs from a menu rather than having to rename/use a batch file on/cut-paste DXAs to enable/disable them.
