Re your comment "I'm fed up with D2x-XL coding...": I think it clear that you're also passionate about D2X-XL and take pride and pleasure in your accomplishments. I think if you take a break from the coding, you'll find the feeling of being "fed up" goes away. All of the members ...

I have a segmentation fault on an amd64 machine, so I am temporarily removing the d2x-xl installation packages pending a fix.

Update to d2x-xl-base v5:
d2x-xl-base should now automatically remove the unneeded packages d2x-xl-demo, d2x-xl-midi, and d2x-xl-sdl (these have been merged into d2x-xl-base). This should correct d2x-xl-base refusing to install because it contains files provided by the demo, midi, and sdl packages.

Important: If you have installed any of the following d2x-xl Debian/Ubuntu packages, they must be removed before updating any packages. (Their contents have been merged into d2x-xl-base):

d2x-xl-demo
d2x-xl-midi
d2x-xl-sdl

Update to d2x-xl version 1.15.336.
Merged SDL, midi, and demo levels packages into d2x-xl-base. Filesize is now 66.5 MB (who would play this game without music?)
Is there any interest here in RPM installation packages?

Removed check for openGL libraries from wrapper script (fixes problem on Linux Mint 12)

* Corrected typo in d2x-xl-sdl package version number, which prevented installation.
* Updated d2x-xl executable to v1.15.333

Update:
Fixed generation of extra menu entry.
Fixed package numbering policy to comply with convention.
(No update to executable.)

I've been having trouble with d2x-xl not restoring my pre-game graphics resolution after I quit the game, and I'd like to know if other Linux users have this problem. karx (via bug report ticket) says it works for him. I think maybe all nvidia cards are affected. I have a nvidia geforce 9400 with th...

I'd also be interested in knowing whether or not the d2x.ham is needed. I tried this Vertigo download (no d2x.ham) and it appears to play fine, but there might be something I'm missing.

The Debian/Ubuntu binary installation packages have been updated to version 1.15.322, for both amd53 and i386 architectures. For information on how to install these packages, visit the link in my signature.

d2x-xl Debian/Ubuntu demo packages have been updated to v1.15.313. This is untested on i386, but it should be fine. I compiled the i386 version on my VPS, where I cannot test it since there is no GUI. The other packages are updated to v1.15.313. Let me know if there are any difficulties on any Debia...

PS
I just checked and find that the demo levels are working with v1.15.312. Great! I'll have to update the demo package, which still has v1.15.177

Hi Karx, I built the new amd64 and i386 d2x-xl Debian/Ubuntu packages today, the executable updated to 1.15.312 and 1.15.313 and the data file to v295. You can of course host your own copies of these if you want, but it is far easier for Debian/Ubuntu users to add my Debian repository to their repos...

It's time for me to compile updated versions of my D2X-XL Debian/Ubuntu package. I'll be compiling v1.15.312. I am very glad to see that a preformance-affecting issue was found and fixed in version v1.15.300. I'm anxious to try the new version with my less-than-optimum hardware. I noticed on the ver...
