DF-21 Forums

Been popping by occasionally hoping to keep abreast of new developments. Continually hoping Sheepshaver will someday fix the half-speed problem with DF but have a PM 9500 to run DF on otherwise :-/

Don't forget code to make the floor mines render the correct fme down the road Wink

Those bright yellow lights kinda give them away in the dark.

The most fun to be had is crouching and aiming up all the way...when you land the deathblow they fly way up in the air. Yay Razz

Wow that was quick! Latest bugs I'm seeing are: I think the falling yell starts about a half second after you go off a cliff (should silence when you hit the ground Very Happy

Good to see work moving along =D I haven't used DXL in a while so I'm not sure what's been covered already. Some observations I have while playing Anoat for a little bit: I can't use more than two ...

Apparently it's a PS3 problem. Read somewhere that people with the old 60gb PS3 had it run fine, but it doesn't work on my 40gb. The 60gb had the most complete emulation for the old systems, so that ...

wow i wish my manuals weren't all beat up...i still have that huge box and the jewel case with the cd. then again i still have my dad's working quadra 700 to play it on Very Happy

Been playing a little more, found some bugs in Anoat with 9.01:

Still DosBox... lame Razz

Seems like the DarkXL editor would be a good way to bring interest back to the Open Project. Would be a good test ground for new mapping features that DarkXL will be able to handle.

Yeah VMWare Fusion and evidently other non-Mac versions can't handle 8-bit color in Windows 95/98. Which is annoying because I wanted to use the old Windows for old stuff that likes Windows 95/98. T ...

Forgot about that minor detail with hardware and 16-bit. VMWare only runs DirectX in Vista and XP so I'll stick to booting in Windows for now...at least until VMWare fixes their 8 bit color bug.

Just a quick question... does anyone know if DF2 keeps a configuration file anywhere so I can tell it to use 16bit color before loading? VMWare doesn't play nicely with 8 bit color in Windows 98, whi ...

Here's hoping Apple's new buddy-buddy relationship with nVidia results in some better OGL drivers down the road... peformance under OS X vs. Win XP right now isn't even close on my frankenmac. Makes ...

In the DF days I was right hand on the arrow keys left on control/z/x/c. Now it's left hand on the arrow keys and num 0/. with right hand on the mouse. Here here to arrow keys.

I agree with the above, and see 2D editing being useful for quickly laying out a map, such as general area and room boundaries. It'd be like the sketcher in 3D cad apps. Just basic things can be set ...

It's also cruel that us Mac guys don't have a DF equivalent of AlephOne... but DarkXL works Very Happy

Looks like zapping the .cfg file cleared it up, thanks.

Has anyone had trouble setting key commands? When I first opened the program I had no trouble, but now when I click each command to set it jumps to Ins and I can't reset the command to anything else.

Tres cool

Odd bug... when I click a key command to set it, it changes to INS. The command doesn't stay highlighted when I release the mouse, just sets to INS soon as I click it.

Oh cool, OC. I'm from Huntington Beach although now I've been up in Berkeley/Oakland last 5 years...

Modern Photoshop/Illustrator didn't seem to like the old PICT from the briefing graphics template in the old Mac DF Briefing Kit, but thanks to *drumroll* Canvas 5 I saved a clean new PICT and have an ...

Quick question on laser blasts, are there any plans to make the strength of laser blasts weaken with distance? The farther they travel they drop to 9 damage then 8 damage... possibly more beyond that ...

Hah the 8 character pathnames are the issue, along with the LFD and the no weapons.gob in the DOS game. It's working now so thanks for the suggestions Very Happy
