Hi Irontower. The latest version of The Sphere is on DMDB. Check the thread

Now that Sphere 1.6 is finished, I've started looking at DI now and gathering notes on anything that's not working right DI doesn't have nearly as many horrific problems as The Sphere did. While The Sphere was loaded with all my noob hax, DI was engineered properly and isn't afflicted with lots of b...

Diedel responded to the email I sent him, so he's aware of this. That was a couple weeks ago though, I haven't heard from him of late Oh well, as per Sirius advice, I'm uploading sphere-1.6 to DMDB and will update the links momentarily. The link to the beta should have expired by now. I found one la...

Sphere 1.6 is finished! Anyone want to beta test? Link is in the OP That's a temporary link, next step is get a more permanent one [edit] There's always something isn't there? Equipment generators in level 4 still don't want to work properly. This only affects level 4. No problems in other levels. [...

I reinstalled windows after the holidays, updating to Windows 10 Pro and shedding a lot of legacy stuff. D2X-XL is safely on a separate drive (B:) while windows is on C: so it was untouched by formatting. Well D2X-XL started doing this when trying to open it https://i.ibb.co/165b84b/dx2-error.png d2...

Thanks Sirius, I'll check that site out Sorry for continued delays. I have plans on how to fix my two aforementioned problems. I believe I can solve my transparency problem by making a new texture and I can solve my boss robot problem by reverting back to older versions before I messed with any boss...

I finished applying all the changes and fixes I intended. Overall the game is much, much fairer Right now I'm just testing testing testing. There's some issues I need help with - transparent glass loses transparency if there is another texture overlaid over it. This worked in the past. Doesn't now? ...

An i7 is definitely more powerful than the i5 I currently use. How long does it take you to pre-calc lightmaps usually, Pumo? Just asking in case its just me Update news: level 2 is a little friendlier. Significantly tweaked robot placement and/or added more cloaks and invuls where deadly robots are...

I've fixed a lot of things already. Level 1 is less of a pain. In level 1 It's safer to skirt around the red key area from the start. I no longer feel inhibited from going near that place without the plasma cannon, which is the way I wanted it to be from the beginning The guided missile puzzle can n...

Just putting this here for future reference: Instructions on the tunnel generator The start side is the "current" side, while the "other" sides denotes the end side. To have multiple start sides, just tag all sides you wish to include. The only limitation is that they have all to...

Here we are again years later. So last month I declared I'd revisit my old maps and do a lot of fixing up. This is taking a while because it's going to be the last update I'll make to these missions and I'm being very careful about quality control here ....that and it's taking me a stupid long time ...

Hi Irontower. Ooof, you had to cheat to get through it? :oops: Yea, that's an issue I'm fixing. The new version shuffles the robots of level 1 a bit and it's a bit more balanced now with the hardware you get so the nastier robots don't show up until later. Hopefully no cheating will be necessary Do ...

Not that I can see. D2X.hog and D2X.mn2 are both in the missions folder where they belong. Not duplicated in the data folder or anything. Selecting the extra Vertigo just opens up Vertigo normally. Guess it's not a big deal. There's other issues I'd like to report, like cockpit camera displays dislo...

Thanks. I plan to have it done shortly. I just have to give myself a crash course on DLE-XP. I've pretty much forgotten how it works

Welp, I don't know who else is out there on these forums these days but I thought I would drop a line anyway. So I played through The Sphere, and noted a lot of issues with it. I wrote down an entire document of gameplay problems as well as noting a few texture/trigger/data bugs. No gamebreaking bug...
