...you confuse the us government with its people... ...has long been a tyrant. But not for its citizens and for citizens of other countries... I think this applies to every single country in the world. Usually, governments everywhere sucks very badly, but people can be actually very nice. A governm...

It's always nice to see some love for Descent every now and then, so kudos to Gamespot for that!

Pumo

Whatever if makes you feel best. Yeah, I know it's a bit hard to get used to the DBB (that's why I kept away from it during some time) but in the end, you realize it's not as bad as it seems (except on Ethics & Commetary, there is hell for sure, I tell you!). It can be very funny at times on her...

Pumo

Lol, ok then, good to know.
I would miss the amusement you bring sometimes to this forums (although I must admit your 'humor' is a bit on the weird side sometimes

, but I got used to it and learnt to enjoy it

)

Pumo

Oh, I thought so because I saw a new 'Isaac Two' user and on his original profile there's no 'Last visited' record at all.

Pumo

So, as I see on his profile, is Isaac banned for real??

It's because of this silly mocking (that I see pretty harmless) or there's other reason??

Pumo

Lol, I think (and I hope I'm not wrong) they are just mocking around, so just let them be.

Pumo

Well, it's actually... kind of... funny... TBH...

Please Sapphire, don't kill me! lol

Pumo

Actually, Naphtha made some MP levels for D1 that uses some imported D2 textures on them.

Pumo

Another thing I wanted to mention here and was wondering if you've noticed--- there's a texture in counterstrike that appears nowhere in DLE's pallet. Its the white ceiling in the beginning of level 19. It looks exactly like the texture called "rock346" (which is in DLE) but with all the ...

Pumo

Supposedly and theoretically you can help us Mexicans (as a form of protest) by sharing the #ContraElSilencioMX hashtag, to fight against the new telecommunications law that the government here wants to impose us, to take away or freedom and our rights. Check out the video, if you're interested, and...

Pumo

My HDDs are at 36°/38°, so it seems everything is OK.

Thanks once more for your help Krom, your posts are always very enlightening!

Pumo

Well, it's not pointing towards the cpu fan, but it is basically at the same height level. The CPU has the stock Intel cooler with its fan, blowing towards the CPU (as far as I can tell). From a top view of the case, air is flowing like this: Rear fan | | CPU | ---> | \/ 2 DVD Writers & HDDs. Th...

Pumo

OK, in the end I got a GTX 650 for my Core i3 computer. I decided to buy a new fan for the read side of the case, I put it as intake to mantain the interior of the case cool. Is that a good idea, or it should be better to use it as exhaust? Is a simple case, just has a rear fan slot (no front or top...

Pumo

OK, thanks a lot for clarifying that!

So it's time to go out and buy that card.

Pumo

OK, I do have this question: I'm planning to buy a GeForce 750 or 750 ti for my computer. I see on its requirements that it requires PCI-E 3.0, but I use a Sandy Bridge processor, so although my Motherboard supports 3.0 I can only use 2.0. I know it's possible to use this 3.0 card on my 2.0 PCI-E sl...

Pumo

But Sirius never said anything, it was sigma.

Sirius has not even posted on this topic.

Pumo

Definitely, all Obsidian levels are pretty enjoyable. Just the very layout of the levels, all made by Sirius and Darkhorse worths the play.

Pumo

Well, like Alter said, I'm also some of the few that seems to actually enjoy Brimspark without feeling any kind fatigue, even if they are consecutive and big, but what can I say? I'm a fan of volcanoes, be it in videogames or in real-life. ;) Maybe the only thing I would complain of, is that of the ...

Pumo

Well, I don't play by using an specific strategy and usually don't have to use saves at all, except on very hard missions (Ironblade, sometimes Vignettes, TEW, etc.) where I prefer to save usually after getting a Yellow key and before entering a Red door (just in case there's some nasty surprise), b...

Pumo

In that case, you may not like some of my Pumo Mines levels that much as they are a 'bit' long. :P http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee156/Digipumo/Pumo%20Mines/th_Lvl4Overview_zpsf225dc86.jpg http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee156/Digipumo/Pumo%20Mines/th_PML5-MapWIP5_zps8d607f1a.jpg http://i235...

Pumo

If your plan is simply changing texturing of robots, you're doin' it the hard way. :P If you are just modifying weapons, AI and textures (not replacing the actual model of the robot) you can do it all from RbotEdit, without using Haxmedit at all. Haxmedit may be only needed if you're planning to rep...

Pumo

Right now it comes to my mind as some of my favorite levels, D1 level 9, D2 level 11 and Vertigo levels 3 & 4. Note I love volcanoes and fire themed ones are some of my favorites. :mrgreen: Although being a mars level, D1L9 shouldn't really be a fire level, but whatever. :roll: Will think about ...

Pumo

You can download the Descent Manager Robot Construction Kit (that's where HAXMEDIT32 is included) at my website:
http://pumosoft.3d-get.de/documents/destuff.html

There I have many Descent tools up and running, ready for download.

Pumo

OK, lemme see... The 64-bit version is located on the x64 subfolder of your D2X-XL installation. To use it, just copy all data from that folder to your main XL folder, and run d2x-xl-x64.exe. But, TBH, last time I used it it crashed on my side. I always use the standard d2x-xl.exe, I find it to be m...

Pumo

Yeah, I forgot to mention Anthology, and is a really great mission, but it requires some patience to finish it. It's the hugest level you will find up to this day. It's a work from Sirius, so quality is asured. ;) I played a bit of Belial, but didn't manage to hook me to keep playing it, so I feel t...

Pumo

You're putting it pretty hard, as choosing just one level is not an easy task with so many missions available.

I might be able to say my favorite level of each official (Parallax-made) Descent mission, and maybe a favorite from fanmade missions.

Pumo

Well, if you ask for XL recommendations, would you be mad if I specially recommend my own mission, Pumo Mines Kartsal Motivation 3-level demo? :mrgreen: But seriously, there are some GREAT XL missions out there. Of those I would specially recommend Boling Point, Dimensional Intersect and The Sphere....

Pumo

I will give you a quick reply with a couple of single-level missions that always came to my mind as I like them very much: Kritical Mass Testing Labs (from Kruel) - superb level design, very similar gameplay and quality to that of Konflict at Karon levels. Macron Station (from Solrazor/Kyoryuu) -It ...

Pumo

Just for the record, the latest XL version is a bit flawed and has the bugs you are describing Megadescent. The author of D2X-XL is aware of those bugs, but he says they may be related to the Occulus Rift code and right now he doesn't has one to test and debug the issues, so we may have to wait. But...

Pumo

Kruel campaigns will run perfectly on the original engine. In fact, I played those missions for the first time back on the old-school days, way before the creations of the XL or Rebirth ports. You will only have issues with a few recent missions, starting since the ones made around 2008, like Enemy ...

Pumo

Because they push the old engine to the limit, using very complex achiteture on big rooms (like the main central chamber on Level 26).
The original engine was not so optimized to render such complex stuff obviously, as on the old days of Descent a Pentium was the most you could aspire.

Pumo

I think Black Prophecy, Colossus and Legacy of Chaos may run fine on DOSBox, as they doesn't has any element that would break the old engine, IIRC. Not sure about Nefarious Assault, TBH. And of all those missions on the new list, Legacy of Chaos is the best and is a must, although it is not part of ...

Pumo

Well, for me it's a bit hard to decide between D1 and Vertigo. The only thing I'm sure is that of the three options, D2 is the least nice. And I'm not saying D2 it's not any good as campaign, I like it very much, but I feel D1 and Vertigo are way much better executed and designed. In overall mission...

Pumo

Well, of the options you had on the Poll, I voted for Entropy Exp. 2, Konflict at Karon, Obsidian & Project Mandrill. I saw you mentioned Phobos Encounter on your post but didn't put it on the poll, but for the record, I would have also voted for that one. :) Now on D1, my favorite is Orion Nebu...

Yeah, I read about this just today on FB. I got once the opportunity to chat with him on Facebook, and he was a nice guy, as well as on the Rebirth forums. He was making his Descent Corruption mod, and I was so excited about his work. I admired pretty much what he did to the Descent engine with it. ...

Because it's a non-commercial project, as for now is a community based project intended to be released for free.
It's much like any fan-made mission for D1/D2/D3.

Pumo

That's precisely how I use DTX & DTX2, within XP Mode.

Pumo

Well, I don't like Multiplayer that much and I'm still in love of Descent 1 & 2 because of Single-Player up to this date, so Vision has a point.
In fact Descent is such a good game that be for the MP or for the SP, it remains alive because of how badass it is on both sides!
