D2X-Rebirth is based on a late D2X-CVS Source, coded and released by Bradley Bell and his team.
|
|
|
|
|
I spend much time to improve the Sourcecode, tried to fix bugs in there and added some improvements.
|
|
|
|
|
It is the goal of DXX-Rebirth to keep these games alive and the result is a very stable version of
|
|
|
|
|
the Descent ][ port - called D2X-Rebrith.
|
|
|
|
|
I hope you enjoy the game as you did when you played it the first time.

D2X-Rebirth supports Multiplayer over (obsoleted) IPX and UDP/IP.
|
|
|
|
|
Please note that UDP/IP generally supports more features of D2X-Rebirth and uses Packet Loss Prevention while
|
|
|
|
|
IPX is mainly meant to play together with non-D2X-Rebirth games.
|
|
|
|
|
Using UDP/IP works over LAN and Internet. By default, each game communicates over UDP-Port 42424. This can be
|
|
|
|
|
changed via the menus while creating a game and manually join a game, command-line argument or D2X.INI. To
|
|
|
|
|
successfully host a game online, make sure UDP-Port 42424 (or otherwise if specified correctly) is opened on
|
|
|
|
|
your Router/Firewall. Clients do not need to open any ports.
|
|
|
|
|
The game also supports IPv6 if built in while compiling and should be backwards compatible to IPv4 builds
|
|
|
|
|
as good as possible.
