zicodxx d34936d775 Added own channel management to SDL_mixer sound interface since the builtin channel management of this lib cannot handle our needs; Little code cleanup
2011-05-30 02:17:45 +02:00
2d mipmapping was always on for fonts due to changed filtering code in ogl.c 2011-05-04 12:18:25 +02:00
3d Allow completely free movement in the automap. It will rotate relative to the viewer. Also fix an unused variable warning. 2011-04-10 19:57:06 +08:00
arch Added own channel management to SDL_mixer sound interface since the builtin channel management of this lib cannot handle our needs; Little code cleanup 2011-05-30 02:17:45 +02:00
d2x-rebirth.xcodeproj Check if a menu closed in a subfunction before setting it's return value, fixing crash when levels are mismatched in multiplayer; Small tidy up for Xcode project 2011-04-24 13:34:59 +08:00
debian Update for Debian packaging stuff 2011-05-05 01:31:09 +02:00
editor Like in BigEndian builds do netmisc_calc_checksum() only with expected items of segment/side struct to prevent different checksums in case these structs change; Fixed several issues when building with editor; Fixed compiler warning regarding set but unused variable 2011-05-22 19:54:47 +02:00
English.lproj Increment version to 0.56.0 for Mac OS X, marking release point 2010-09-17 11:36:46 +00:00
iff To fix Dravis's head in endgame debriefing, don't remap the colours and read compressed .bbm bitmaps properly (both my bad) 2010-09-19 13:33:22 +00:00
include Execute set_dynamic_light 60 times per second max since more would just be a waste of CPU time; When executing set_dynamic_light, process ALL lights; Instead of storing light color in objects, do it on-thy-fly but store bitmap-based color in grs_bitmap - vastly speeds up colored dynamic lights; Improved saturation for vertex lighting to make light color a bit more subtile 2011-04-12 03:02:51 +02:00
libmve On Mac OS X - no longer have to copy SDL_mixer.h to SDL framework; frameworks can now be in /Library/Frameworks; fix for obscure compile error involving u_int32_t 2010-09-02 00:07:37 +00:00

mem When running out of memory slots, do not try to print detailed info as it will only call a negative array index 2010-11-09 17:45:25 +01:00

texmap Added cv_fade_level to canvas structure to replace Gr_scanline_darkening_level; Added cv_blend_func to canvas structure to set blending; Introduced gr_settransblend to set cv_fade_level and cv_blend_func; Added function to set normal blending, additive alpha blending and additive color blending; Moved Special transparency effects from g3_draw_bitmap to render_object to set individual transparency and/or blending for each object outside of OpenGL-specific code; Added special blending for fuelcenter and force field effects as well; Removed unused LASER_HACK code; Renamed OglAlphaEffects variable of PalyerCfg to AlphaEffects as I plan to implement this kind of effects for Software renderer, too 2011-02-23 17:46:39 +01:00
ui Rename ui/window.c to ui/dialog.c to avoid confusion with arch/sdl/window.c, also rename UI_WINDOW to UI_DIALOG, rename all associated functions, constants, parameters, local variables etc too; make a window when making a UI_DIALOG (does nothing yet) 2011-01-17 22:42:18 +08:00

0. Introduction:
================

   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-Rebirth.
   I hope you enjoy the game as you did when you played it the first time.
   If you have something to say about my release, feel free to contact me at zicodxx [at] yahoo [dot] de


1. Features:
============

   DXX-Rebirth has every little feature you already may know from the DOS Version of Descent and much more.

   For example:
   * Plays Descent and Descent 2 and all their AddOns and third-party levels.
   * DXX-Rebirth runs on your favourite Operating System. We officially support Linux (and other *NIX), Mac OS (9/X) and Windows (2000, XP, Vista, 7). Still the code can be compiled on many other systems as well.
   * OpenGL provides a fast and smooth rendering - even on low-end systems.
   * Optionally you can enbale several effects like Transparency, Colored lighting, Texture Filtering, FSAA, etc.
   * Thanks to SDL, a wide palette of Joysticks are supported. Also you can use more Joysticks, buttons and axes than you can ever operate in your state of evolution.
   * If you prefer steering your Pyro with a mouse, you will not have the problem that the movement becomes slow in high game speed.
   * Joystick, Keyboard and Mouse can be used simultaneously.
   * The games can display all resolutions and aspects supported by your Monitor, including an option for VSync.
   * Besides MIDI and CD-Audio (Redbook), you can play your own custom Music from your Harddrive or a separate AddOn.
   * Both games can utilize special AddOn packs to replace or expand the original game content.
   * Multiplayer via UDP protocol provides a fast and easy-to-use LAN and Online action. This includes reliable communication causing less glitches due to lost packages.
   * Multiplayer via IPX protocol lets you play against players still using the MS-DOS version of the game.
   * The ingame Demo-recording system has been improved. Demos are less glitchy and smaller while still still being backwards-compatible to earlier versions of the games.
   * Higher game speed will not cause glitches such as unacceptable fast homing projectiles, incredible high damage caused by several collisions or Fusion cannon, etc.
   * Player files, Savegames, Demos and Missions from DOS-Versions of the games can freely be used in DXX-Rebirth and vice versa.
   * Even more ...


2. Installation:
================

   See INSTALL.txt.


3. Multiplayer:
===============

   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.


4. Legal stuff:
