I thought on insane the robot generators never stopped? Or am I thinking of D2?

Only two things got me, but they got me really good: the goggles and the reflection. My hair on my neck actually did stand up when her reflection appeared in the water.

10.5.7 normally, 10.6 when I need to test.

I know it's not hard. But it's also not convenient. On the Mac, those files belong in ~/Library/Application Support. No application should require me creating another level of folders just to contain things. D1X-Rebirth has the same problem.

I've taken a look in the code, and I haven't seen where I could patch the code to make it look where it should. If I have more time, I'll do it and submit a patch.

My objection to both D2X-XL and DXX-Rebirth is that the data files have to be put in folders that sit alongside the executable, so you wind up with a folder structure that looks like this: Descent - D1X Rebirth.app - Data The data files really belong in ~/Library/Application Support/D1X Rebirth ...

Well the installer worked but it obliterated the progress in my pilot file

I wonder if the DOS equivalent of PLREDIT32 is still around.

DCrazy

Unfortunately it doesn't, and neither does PD. Apparently D1 Definitive is unpatchable.

Man I remember spending all of 6th grade futzing around with DMB. Those were the days...

DCrazy

I'm using the Definitive Collection disks; I tried running the 1.5 patch but it failed, so I'm assuming that my version is patched to 1.5 already.

It's amazing to see people that are so hostile to the display of any support or reference to veterans that they single out supporters or veterans themselves for persecution- of any kind. It can be a rude remark- nasty expression or worse. This has nothing to do with the fact that the guy is a vet ...

DXX-Rebirth (not Revolution

) also works on my Mac. Much better than D2X-XL, but unfortunately it refuses to play the MIDI music, and it seems quite sluggish in comparison to the DOS version. (Maybe the lack of pace-setting music is what does it.)

DCrazy

Played the demo on the 360. Pretty much a yawner.

DCrazy

you know, there is D2X-Rebirth or D2X-XL to utilize. ;) I installed D2X-XL, but I couldn't just copy the game data off the CD; I had to use DOSBox to "install" D2, which was difficult because the installer didn't want to actually install anything; it just showed the Star Trek movie and quit. Once I ...

the supreme court and even the appelate courts have certain safeguards which prevent activist judges. By the way I never disagreed with that. I probably should have referred to the hierarchy more. That's why we have a series of appellate courts and, ultimately, the Supreme Court, so that judges can ...

OK, point taken but I think you broke out the semantic stick to beat him unfairly since he is also right in the context in which he offered the notion that lack of demand drove prices down. I don't think it was unfair; it seemed pretty clear to me that Spidey was referring to consumer demand for ...

A very cool demonstration, but a bit recursive, in that the smashed watch argument is creationist, not ID. At least I've never heard it from any legitimate ID scientist. So, it seems to me his straw man is a straw man. :) I pointed to the video not for its overall message but because it discusses ...

Most judges (in the circuit court) are elected, if you don't like or agree with their rulings, vote them out. I hate direct election of judges. IMO an independent judiciary cannot function properly under direct election; in that case, they function too much like another legislation: beholden to the ...

DCrazy

All of your sources agree with me. I'm not sure what you're trying to argue.

DCrazy

So what your implying is that there is no law. That is a huge and incorrect leap from what I was saying. And "if" a law current is not written to the Judges liking that he can do what ever he feels like doing, even to the point of making a new one up on the spot. No, judges are restricted to the ...

DCrazy

the point still stands it is not the judiciary's job to make law. The judiciary is well within its rights to discard, constrain, contextualize, or reinterpret laws in its jurisdiction. The biggest power the Supreme Court has is to discard unconstitutional laws, after all. There is a lot of freedom ...

Doesn't pointing at " the recession" sort of encompass credit markets drying up and the results of that drop in liquidity? After all, what is this current recession if it doesn't include those symptoms? You're missing the point. Spidey claims "Recession happened" -> "Lower demand for gasoline ...

DCrazy

When I try to explain that gas prices have come down because of the lack of demand due to the recession, they look at me like I’m from Mars. That would be because you're wrong. Because gas is a commodity, they are far more sensitive to price fluctuations in futures than they are to demand levels. ...

Again, I'm NOT a Young Earth Creationist, but I do agree that the general lack of gradual change in the fossil evidence is a difficulty in evolutionary theory. Not an insurmountable one, but I find Punctuated Equilibrium a bit weak. This is ridiculous. 1. Evolutionary theory dictates punctuated ...

last time I checked it was the legislature's job to make to law (policy) and it was a judge's job was to enforce the law (policy). This is an amazing misinterpretation of the separation of powers... the legislature writes law, the executive enforces the law, and the judiciary interprets the law ...

Krom, that is indeed the strategy I used. I got a hankering to reinstall D1 under DOSBox for some reason (probably due to the lack of Mac games :( ), but I failed to reconfigure the keyboard. No joystick, no mouse, and the default config makes it impossible to slide (seriously, toggle-to-slide ...

Well, it took me long enough, but I finally beat D1 level 7. On Trainee.

God, I suck at this game.

I have never had a credit card. Then one day I checked into a hotel, and they needed a CC to put a hold on in order to make sure I didn't run up a $7000 mini-bar tab and skip town. I gave them my check card, as it was the only thing I had. They put a $300 hold on it and wiped out my checking account ...

The meta refresh mightn't work because of how cloaking is implemented. When you say that the URL is cloaked, do you mean that *any* URL on domain2.com appears in the address bar as merely \"http://domain1.com\"? Or does the address bar show the correct relative URL, such that \"http://domain2.com ...

Sorry to see you go, SilverFJ. At least when we die we're not cognizant of the inevitable disappointment of permanent inexistence.
