|
|
(anybody with a cooler domain want to host? or CNAME it?)
|
|
|
|
Linux:
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
Required tools:
|
|
* GCC 2.95
|
|
* SDL 1.0 or higher
|
|
(get it from http://www.devolution.com/~slouken/projects/SDL/)
|
|
* NASM 0.98 (OPTIONAL but RECOMMENDED, not sure, try your linux distribution)
|
|
* A thread safe X server.
|
|
* Make, sed, etc...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Build instructions:
|
|
Install all of the components above. Next, from the d2x directory:
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
(./configure --help will show you the available options)
|
|
For OpenGL support, try configuring with --with-opengl. Your mileage may vary
|
|
(but basically, you need an accelerated Mesa sitting somewhere where d2x can
|
|
see it)... The OpenGL support isn't perfect, but it works...
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
Hopefully d2x will build. Do not be concerned about warnings, they are fairly
|
|
unimportant.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Known bugs/issues:
|
|
* Serial support doesn't work. (UDP and IPX networking does)
|
|
* Movies (unlikely ever to be supported)
|
|
* Sound glitches (due to stuff I haven't implemented)
|
|
* The mouse support is at the same level as it was in d1x (as in, it
|
|
kind of works)
|
|
* Something went screwy with the control config system, it kinda got "d1xed"...
|
|
* OpenGL leaks memory like it is going out of fashion. It leaked about
|
|
64meg in a few minutes for me. I need to debug this =)
|
|
|
|
|
|
MS-DOS:
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Required tools:
|
|
* DJGPP v2
|
|
The following DJGPP packages are ALL REQUIRED (newer versions are ok)!
|
|
v2/
|
|
djdev203.zip
|
|
v2gnu/
|
|
bnu281b.zip gcc2952b.zip mak3781b.zip bsh1147b.zip sed302b.zip
|
|
m4-14b.zip acnf213b.zip gwk304b.zip txt20b.zip grep22b.zip dif272b.zip
|
|
So many packages are needed to support the autoconf build system that d2x
|
|
uses. (Sorry! =)
|
|
* NASM v0.98 or better is REQUIRED
|
|
|
|
|
|
Build instructions:
|
|
Install all of the djgpp packages above. Make sure that DJGPP is properly
|
|
configure (see the DJGPP docs for more information).
|
|
Make a copy of bash.exe in your djgpp bin/ directory. Call it "sh.exe". This
|
|
step is VERY IMPORTANT (otherwise all the scripts will fail).
|
|
|
|
Now, run the following from the d2x directory:
|
|
djgpp.bat
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
Hopefully things will work out and the package will build correctly for you.
|
|
|
|
Known bugs/issues:
|
|
* Serial and network support missing.
|
|
* Sound support missing.
|
|
* Movie support missing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reporting bugs/feedback:
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to report bugs and give feedback:
|
|
1) Get on the descent-source mailing list by sending an email to
|
|
majordomo@warpcore.org with the body as: "subscribe descent-source
|
|
<your email address>". Discussions about the source code in general
|
|
are available here, and is the main list that d2x and d1x, a similar
|
|
project for descent 1 is discussed on. Patches and questions can be
|
|
posted there, as well.
|
|
|
|
2) Send feedback directly to me, bradleyb@u.washington.edu. I'll try
|
|
to get back to you ASAP, depending on real-life concerns =)

Message from Matt Toschlog & Mike Kulas:
|
|
|
|
Descent fans:
|
|
|
|
Here, finally, is the source for Descent II. We've been so busy with
|
|
Descent 3, Mercenary, FreeSpace, FreeSpace 2, and several other
|
|
projects that we haven't given much thought to this old code. But we
|
|
know that many of you are eager to get it, so here you go.
|
|
|
|
We were amazed and impressed at the cool things people did with
|
|
the Descent source we released a few years ago. It touches us
|
|
deeply how devoted some people are to the Descent series, and we
|
|
look forward to seeing what people can do with this Descent II
|
|
source.

About the Source Code:
|
|
|
|
Included is almost all the source code to Descent 2, ver. 1.2. We removed
|
|
all code to which we did not own the copyright. This mainly involved low-
|
|
level sound and modem code and the movie code.
|
|
|
|
The Descent Network has agreed to provide a list of mirror locations where
|
|
this code can be downloaded. The location is:
|
|
|
|
http://www.descent2.com/ddn/sources/descent2
|
|
|
|
The following tools were used in the development of Descent:
|
|
Watcom C/C++, version 9.5
|
|
Microsoft Macro Assembler, version 6.1x
|
|
Opus Make, version 6.01
|
|
|
|
Have fun with the code!

As Packaged the code currently will not compile. Some code had to be removed
|
|
to release it, therefore you will get some missing file errors when building.
|
|
|
|
Much of this code is very close to the Descent 1 source code. Many people have
|
|
put effort into porting that code, so if you are interested in porting D2, you
|
|
should be able to take advantage of some of that work.
