This has everything to do with the fact that the hires textures are in an uncompressed format (TGA)...

Try throwing away the animated missile sprites and use the 3d models instead where possible. That should shorten loading times a bit.

finally got to some more testing :)

1.6.15 - no lightmaps

corrupted animated textures, bad lights

lightmaps
Still crashes... i'm certain that it's something with the dynamic lights. It crashes when i shoot flares.
it stops crashing ...

Ok,

with lightmaps:
dynamic lights have no visible effect
crash after 1-5 seconds ( may depend on number of dynamic lights - like when i shoot a flare and it crashes )

without lightmaps:
colored lights look funny ( like in Pumo's screenshots )

Log

1.6.13 still crashing...
reverting to 1.6.6 - that's the last version that worked for me without problems

1.6.12
* static level lights and hires textures seem OK... i don't get any strange colors
* walls show almost no reaction to dynamic lights ( like flares, lasers and stuff ). I could only see the yellow flare flickering.
* i get a nasty crash 5 seconds after starting a new game...

Fatal signal ...

1.6.11:
The base textures are lit only by dynamic lights, overlay (second) textures are lit normally.

The lights are pretty dark too - i had to use like 20 flares to actually see the base textures.

I'm for adding the mp3/ogg support too.

A weird texture bug i encountered after playing the first few D1 missions. I have hires textures enabled ( and they don't work).

Also there is no smoke. Even with the new command-line settings.

I also get no smoke trails...

Some robot textures and midi music are used instead of the original D2 ones after playing 'Project:Mandrill ...

Nice, i'll make a czech translation

Thief, guidebot and these phoenix-shooting bot (and maybe others) textures are replaced.

How to reproduce (158):
1. play Project:Mandrill or other mission with custom bots
2. exit to menu
3. play normal D2

I have no savegames for the first one...
For the second one, first load 'Glitch', then 'BBB'.

also i actually used ctrl-F1,ctrl-F2 with the first one... sorry for misleading you about the mini screens :(

EDIT:
151:
I've been playing with ctrl-F1&F2 a bit more.

Shouldn't the lasers in D1 be different? I noticed while playing d1x, that they use different models. For example in D1, laser lvl3 is blue and in d2x-d1 it's almost white.

Hi,
I got this while trying to toggle the small screens ( radar, rearview ) in d1.
First the screen went completely black for about a second and then this texture got changed.

I tried to play with 'render entire mine', but the crashes didn't go away and walls are still not transparent. Also the cameras behave strangely...

Hi,
good work with the lights, now they are much better. :)

bug>
?,136,137 (i didn't check older versions) :
Playing d2x levels ( Glass House, Speed, ...?) results in random CTDs.
Also some of the walls that should be transparent aren't (like the big green ones in Glass House).
Normal D2 levels ...

... continuing from suggestions thread as this doesn't belong there.

Yes, I know how additive light works, but when total_darkness (0,0,0) + red laser (1,0,0) = total_darkness (0,0,0), something isn't right. Just look at the screenshots.
And light_from_laser_impact (0.25,0.25,0.25) + red_laser (1 ...

I'm not saying you lied to me and if it sounds like i did, it wasn't my intent.
Maybe it's shaders, maybe it's something else.
I'm looking at the code right now, but it will take some time to learn how it all works.
Anyway
version 133,
use light maps, enable colored light + colored weapon light ...

Hi,
back to the lights!

I've made a pitch black test level with no lights and did some test with lasers.

If you really used additive lighting, the white lights should remain white.

Hi, not a bug of D2X-XL this time, but the javascript on your d2x version history is broken.

Well, i looked at the code and it surely does use additive lights, it just doesn't look like it does ingame. i'm puzzled
i'll try messing with the code some more tomorrow

Pumo:
to clarify things a bit, d2x now uses multiplicative lighting for weapons.
It shouldn't be hard to make it additive, so d2x 'light' behaves more like the real word light. ( try shooting in very dark tunnels - no light at all)

Hi, seems like the decloak sounds play around all lava in d1.
Like here:

(2. level i think)

a little bug with v.1.5.121 - things like flares and markers don't animate anymore (at least on my computer).

hi guys...
I think both mouselook and non-mouselook are bugged.

Non-mouselook:
slower than keyboard
you can't aim straight
Mouselook:
there is no maximum speed for looking around which makes your ship spin like crazy when u move the mouse a bit more

Diedel, it would be ideal, if you remove the old ...

1. click D2X-XL in sidemenu
2. scroll down
3. download (there are several links there, choose depending on your OS)

Diedel,

I discovered this on Descent 1 level 26

Hi,

only a small glitch this time

After finishing the 'Phobos Encounter' mission, credit screen fades to white and the text leaves 'trails' that show non-faded credits screen.

106, happened in D1 lvl2
It was possible to fly through solid walls, parts of the level disappeared
http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/9195/1060hk.th.jpg

Here's the spot where it's easy to replicate. Just fly forward and u should end up in 'nowhere'.
http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/2310/bspot1ne ...

It's bugged even in D2 missions
Lightmaps are applied to individual triangles on irregular walls in the new version, not the whole wall.

103:

robots, weapon shots, flares and pyro getting stuck in mid-air, strange problems with game speed ( always max )
Edit: this got better after making a new profile
103,maybe 104(I didn't check):

Random crashes during D1 exit sequence.
103+104:

Lightmaps are broken. See the screenshots ...
