Updated with the DTIII- Mission 1:

I can confirm that mission 2 is indeed broken. I can't disable the clone network to releas ...

That's awesome that you have documented all that. Much appreciated! I am trying to do the same when I can.

I haven't tried it, but I think that's what DOSBox's config file is supposed to be able to fix. Maybe if someone were to try it with slower CPU cycles...something akin to an old x86 machine. I have no ...

A note about the Mohc logic...

I recall members here reporting that when they ran DF on "modern" machines, his behavior was different than it was originally. Specifically, I think it was ...

That is a wonderful thing to hear. I really look forward to playing through!

Hey Lucius, those screenshots are looking tasty. Excuse my ignorance (and laziness), but when you are working on making a DF level "completable", does that mean you are acheiving that by mak ...

Great to hear from you! I look forward to more of your great work.

I was sad to find out this didn't work for me either when I played it a few weeks ago. I don't remember this being a a problem. Guess I got lucky maybe when I was testing it.

You guys on the Mac should use Boxer: http://boxer.washboardabs.net/. Its less hassle.

Oh yeah! It would be cool to see that in DarkXL.

I believe it was more of a tech/art demo really. It was really well done though. I may have it as an attachment in an old email.

Yeah.

I failed to notice that Boxer is really just a "wrapper" app for DosBox. It makes a package for each installed game so you can just double click on its icon to run the game without having to ...

Somewhere in Boxer's instructions it tells you how to play the games without the CD. I got that working quite easily and never even use the DF CD anymore. Haven't tried using Steam files, but maybe yo ...

I haven't tried DosBox, so I can't say. I just liked the whole UI of Boxer, so I went with it. Real easy to use mods as well. Only trouble is I got an out of memory error on the 1st level of DTIII. I ...

Hey guys, after running Boxer on Mac OS X, I found it super easy and fun to run Dark Forces on it, as well as using its video capture. I wanted to post some highlights of The Dark Tide series- since w ...

On a related note, I tried DTIII in Boxer on the Mac and got an out of memory error on the 1st level. Dunno how to bug hunt those things anymore...

Well, the INF that keeps track of how many clones you kill is kinda hacky, so I don't know why it screws up sometimes. Each "clone" WAX uses barrel logic, so it causes an explosion when shot ...

Thanks for the heads up! I'll go with 360.

Force "Unleased". LOL!

What's next? The Force for Sale?

Oh yeah I remember you. Also had some epic flame wars with Mattias if I recall correctly.

Barry is 27? Time flies.

Haha, well I am 37 and I hope I don't look that aged!

The thing about that original artwork is that it was altered with a 256 color palette, and as a result some details appear harsher than they ar ...

Nice work. It looks like Kyle, but he looks like he has aged about 20 years. Might want to give him a bit of a facelift and smooth out some of those more pronounced wrinkles.

I'll see if I have it on a backup disk, but its been a looooong while so no promises.

Yes, but they clearly had a lot of pixel overpaint, and I am sure a Q3 style model has very little in common visually with those used for DF. If you render out a model to a 60 pixel high image, its go ...

It's a bit surprising that no one ever really attempted a WAX of Kyle...or Jan for that matter. Its probably important to know what logic the WAX is intended to use. I suppose that one could be start ...

I forgot about that plugin. It was made at the time of version 5 I think, so no guarantee it will work with CS.

I did not know that it was for OS X. Shows how long I have been out of DF now I guess.

Yeah Parallels would be fine for that. I think the point I was trying to make was that you'll have to do it in Windows one way or the other.

Late reply.
Once in awhile some people report this as a bug. I think its one of those strange things that happen on some PCs and not others. Since DF runs at higher speeds than was intended, it often ...
