I was wondering if anybody has gotten round to finishing DF in DarkXL 9 yet, or if it even possible.
The reason I ask is that I want to test out AoNS and DTIV with the new bloom and dynamic lighting but because I have only gotten as far as Talay I cannot test these levels as they replace Jabship. Has anybody gotten that far yet, and if so would they be interested in sending me a copy of their savefile?

Try darkxl -x on a command line. It'll unlock all the levels.

Would there happen to be a no-clipping command line or maybe a godmode command line?

No real noclip, but there are these two debug cheats:

Hit F to levitate up.
Hit G to pass through adjoins which normally do not let you pass through.

I gave the latest build a go on a fresh install of XP SP3 plus OpenAL and DirectX and all I get is a black screen and music. Running in Boot Camp 3.1 on a Mac mini Core Duo hooked to a 1360x768 LCD TV.

Well you know OpenAL is working. Smile

Did you run the DirectX Web Installer recently? DX9 runtimes got an update this month.

I might have to give that a test to see if the new build works on my windows partition as well. I haven't loaded XP in a couple months to see if the build works or not.

I know for sure it runs on my laptop though, and I think I may just move all my windows related actions to my laptop completely from here on out.

Try turning off bloom. If you cannot see the options dialog, then run with the "-safe" option.

Not to turn this into my personal bug thread, but since it's the same issue...

With 9.0.2 I still get a black screen but now it's in a window, and I still get music. -nosound gives me the black screen without music. -safe doesn't change anything I can see.

What GPU are you using again? Is there a log file and is there anything interesting inside? Have you updated your drivers?

Intel GMA 950:

Chipset Model: GMA 950
Type: GPU
Bus: Built-In
VRAM (Total): 64 MB of Shared System Memory
Vendor: Intel (0x8086)
Device ID: 0x27a2
Revision ID: 0x0003

I was using the drivers bundled with Apple Boot Camp 3.0. There was a newer GPU driver available via the Intel Driver Update Utility and I installed it.

The log file says LoadShader Failed:

Ok, thanks Magic_Al. I think there's a problem with the shader 1.x pipeline that I plan to fix, that's probably what's going on.

I appreciate you patiently working with on this Smile
