DXX Retro

Latest versions

This experimental release is for D1X-Retro only.

Coop
- Don't respawn robots in coop.
Demos
- Fix rewind bug where rewinding through a frame with multiple damage sources would show damage and energy incorrectly.
Mac
- Switch from XCode to scons for building. Note: message box tech is disabled for now, crashes will only display to the terminal or the log. To see them, run Descent from Terminal using the command ./d1x-retro-1.4.X6.app/Contents/MacOS/d1x-rebirth
Observer
- Don't lock to player 1's view while observing in coop.
- Observers no longer disconnected when other observers connect or disconnect.
- Observers no longer see themselves connect as an unpatched client when someone else connects to the game.
- Observers will now be properly told that they can't observe a game that hasn't yet started.
- You can now observe players directly in first and third person view. Use Ctrl+1 through Ctrl+8 to observe players 1 through 8. Use Ctrl+9 and Ctrol+0 to cycle back and forth through the connected players and free observing. Use Ctrl+- for first person view and Ctrl+= for third person view.
- Added the above options to the multiplayer F1 help menu, and streamlined the menu to only display relevent commands.
- Documented the /noobs command (kick all observers) in the F1 help menu.
- Shields and shield changes are now visible to observers.
