In addition to d2x, you need some data files to play. On un*x, these
|
|
|
|
|
files need to go into a shared data directory
|
|
|
|
|
(/usr/local/share/games/d2x by default). On Windows or DOS, they go
|
|
|
|
|
in the same directory as the d2x binary.

The base install depends on which version of the datafiles you have.
|
|
|
|
|
d2x currently supports the full version, the OEM version (Destination:

Quartzon), the PC shareware version, and the Mac shareware version.

Mission Installation
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
d2x should be able to play any missions for Descent 1 or Descent 2,
|
|
|
|
|
including the original Descent 1 mission (Descent: First Strike)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-01-06 22:42:11 +00:00
|
|
|
In order to play any add-on missions, you need to have a full set of
|
|
|
|
|
textures. That is, your base installation above must be the "Full
|
|
|
|
|
Version", the "OEM Version", or the "Mac Shareware" version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-08-23 01:52:11 +00:00
|
|
|
To install an additional mission, just place the .hog and the .msn or
|
|
|
|
|
.mn2 file into your missions directory. The missions directory can be
|
|
|
|
|
inside the system-wide data dir, or your $HOME/.d2x dir. d2x will
|
|
|
|
|
look in both places.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install the mission from Descent 1:
|
|
|
|
|
Place these files into your missions directory:
|
2002-08-08 09:26:15 +00:00
|
|
|
descent.hog
|
|
|
|
|
descent.msn (distributed with d2x)

Vertigo Installation
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vertigo consists of both game enhancements (codenamed HOARD) and an
|
|
|
|
|
additional mission. To install HOARD, place hoard.ham in your data
|
|
|
|
|
dir. To play the vertigo mission, place d2x.hog and d2x.mn2 in your
|
|
|
|
|
mission dir.

|
In unix, the filenames must be in _lower case_. It's important.
|
2003-01-06 22:42:11 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is not necessary to run the D2 setup program to extract the files
|
|
|
|
|
you need, just use unarj to extract the files from descent2.sow on the
|
|
|
|
|
cd.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you use the mac data files, and they are not auto-detected (colors
|
|
|
|
|
come out wrong), use the -macdata switch.
