I thought that no shots from anything but the player could open doors. Like in D1 lvl21 the reactor is behind doors but it doesn't open them when shooting from behind them.

That depends on whether you get there. Level 23 has the most evil room I have ever seen out of the missions made by parallax. The small room directly after the blue door.

I have no idea which ones came first but here are all the psx names for reference. Zeta aquilae 1. Petra 2. Agartha 3. Reuchlin 4. Ako S1. Sibilant station Quartzon 5. Lilofee 6. Lomonosowa 7.

Hang on... I have descent maximum on PlayStation but in the video that you (Alter-fox) linked, the doors open and close with all their frames, but on mine they only have three, which was the fully open, fully closed and half open states.

TRUEpiiiicness

I meant actually putting the music in a level. Sorry for not making this clearer.
That link is still super useful though, so thanks still.
I forgot planet descent even existed, so it's time to look through there. (And find some other interesting stuff while I'm there too.)

TRUEpiiiicness

Are there any downloads for the PlayStation version of the music in a format that is playable ingame? I've looked around but can't find anything. Maybe someone has something lying around.
I have the D1 and D2 PS discs but I don't know how to extract the music from them. Are there any tools I can use?

TRUEpiiiicness

Wow I didn't expect it to be that far deep, that's a huge weight off my shoulders. Thanks for the help.

TRUEpiiiicness

So I've finally got around to finding a fix (not really a fix, but more of a workaround) for level 17, which was to swap out all vertigo bots and convert the level to descent 2 from vertigo.
Unfortunately that doesn't work for level 18 so that's still broken.

TRUEpiiiicness

I've sent a PM. All I can say is good luck.

TRUEpiiiicness

So I decided to recap and look at the balancing of the levels in Descent: The countdown. I went in ascending order, analyzing robot appearances and formations, playtesting as well. However, when I hit level 17 the game crashed when it was loading the level. 'Prepare for descent' appears, then the ga...

Just thought I would do a quick update post. While I was playing ulterior ultima thule, I noticed that the levels got better looking along the way. I've realised that happens here too somewhat. Where the further along I get in the mission, the more modifications the levels get. For example, in level...

TRUEpiiiicness

Thank you. I've been looking for a good reason to update so this is good.

TRUEpiiiicness

How do you actually use it? When I drop the randomizer.exe over d1x-rebirth.exe the game opens but the objects are not randomised. When I open the randomizer itself, it says I am missing certain files. Apparently I'm missing: libgcc_s_seh-1.dll libstdc++-6.dll libpng16-16.dll Where can I get these f...

Whose currently decently far into this one (8+ levels)? I've finished it on hotshot difficulty. It's a fantastic mission set. Level 17 and 20 are my favourite levels by far. Is it on par with some of the other D2 greats, at least Vertigo/Lost Levels/Cererian Expedition (author's previous work) qual...

TRUEpiiiicness

Happy new year! Putting a person on mars is looking somewhat feasible at this point. Unfortunately teleportation probably won't be possible for a very long time yet. Assuming its human teleportation, you need to convert every atom of the body into data. The average human body will require ~10 undeci...

More messing with textures.
Forcefields now change colors based on the theme of the level that they are in.

I've just exported all D1 exclusive textures into a seperate folder ready to use at any time. Also, some signs and monitors are now in the mine ready to go. However there is an issue that has risen from that. Is it at all possible to add or take away frames for an animated texture? The red fatty mo...

TRUEpiiiicness

After a nice long break from modifying and making levels, (you can blame factorio for that one, the factory must grow.

) level 16 is now underway!

TRUEpiiiicness

Thats unexpectedly really simple. I thought it would be more difficult to solve.
It just goes to show how important it is to get everything right. Even down to a single letter.
Thanks for the help.

TRUEpiiiicness

To put it simply, I've converted the levels in The Countdown to vertigo and added the corresponding bots.
Unfortunately, when I go into the mines, the vertigo bots are replaced with D1 bots.
I've heard of this situation before but couldn't find any solution, hence this post.

TRUEpiiiicness

After using this information I realised I haven't spent much on my steam account. I don't know how much this is in pounds but it is currently $95.73.
Pretty much all on buying games like factorio, junk jack, and terraria and of course d1/d2.

Pretty sure I won't get to 60k though.

TRUEpiiiicness

He even says its enough to buy a house. So why didn't he save it in case he needs to buy... you know, a house?
What an idiot.

Roll 90 degrees. Now it's super vertical

You could also roll 45 degrees to get both.

The lava behind a grate or fan was common.

TRUEpiiiicness

Every single level of D1: First strike has at least one instance of the lave texture except levels 17,19,20,24,25 and 27

TRUEpiiiicness

I have found courage to mess with textures.

For level 13 and most likely onwards I've done something rather special. The D1 door lights are back with D2-like animations!

Using some music that you would use for a main menu could be good as the hub is essentially the main menu of pumo mines.

I've hit double figures now. A third of the way there!

The DMDB currently has 1337 missions on it.

Have you checked on pootermans site? (Link to it on the Dmdb.)

He looks like he is going to a boarding school.
He needs it tho.

Maybe D2X-XL can do that because it has the spinning vulcan and guass cannons.

The secondary lifter's gun can spin a small amount.

3: Descent generally doesn't like one-sided doors, or doors where the opposite side is anything other than a matching door. There is that one blue door in ironstar where its the level 1 door on one side then the level 6 door on the other side. If you open it from the side with the level 1 door, bot...

TRUEpiiiicness

Thx for the help

It's a good level. Especially for your first level.
I see that there is some experimenting with cubes. I really like the stalagmite room. (The one with the red door.)

TRUEpiiiicness

Is it possible to get this mission in a zip file? I can't do anything with the rar and this level sounds interesting.

TRUEpiiiicness

I'm going to make a non-countdown version of this since it will work as that and so people can enjoy the mines as a normal descent game.
Just as a nice bonus.
