I know that DarkXL does not officially support Addons, but I have been playing some on DarkXL. There are a few bugs to be sure, but the weirdest bug, which should have a simple solution is that some GOBs do not seem to be recognized through DarkXL.

If I make a shortcut (or bat file) with DARKXL.EXE -uDARKTIDE.GOB then the game works (albeit without the correct debriefing). However, DARKXL.EXE -uARC_HAMM.GOB will not work. It just loads the first level of Dark Forces. There are others that do not seem to work either. Why is this?

I am also curious if there is a good way to get the addon dfbriefing to work right with DARKXL.

Maybe because of the underscore?

The underscore shouldn't cause an issue, but you could remove it from the file name and try it that way to be sure. Make sure to let me know the results either way.

As for briefings - there is no good way to get them working for mods right now.

Okay. Found what was happening. Because the DFBRIEFs do not work, I have to find which level was replaced. Usually it is the first level, SECRET BASE, but in the case of HUNT FOR ARC HAMMER he actually replaced the last level, so I just had to select that level to play.

Once I have tested (not thoroughly) all the addons I have I will post which ones appear to be playable for those interested.

Keep up the good work with DARKXL
