A600 released a new version of xHexen and xHeretic and he also released a new game port called xDescent, a port of the PC-game Descent I/II engine.
xHexen v1.1 and xHeretic v1.1:
What's new/fixed:
- Added a wad selector (read more here)
- Added HDTV modes, thanks to Lantus. For 720p, use the default720.xbe
- Fixed the joypad sensitivity for look up/down
This is an update so you need the v1.0 version. Overwrite the default.xbe
and edit and copy the wads.cfg file if you want to use the wad selector.
xDescent v1.0:
This port is based on D2X-Rebirth and it was possible thanks to the SDLx libs by Lantus, Bradley Bell and the D2X team, zico and MD 2211
For Descent copy the following files to the folder where you installed xDescent: descent.hog, descent.pig
For Descent II: descent2.ham, descent2.hog, descent2.s11, descent2.s22, alien1.pig, alien2.pig, fire.pig, groupa.pig, ice.pig, water.pig, intro-h.mvl, other-h.mvl, robots-h.mvl
This port supports HDTV modes but it you want to use the 720p mode, you must run the default720.xbe or rename it to default.xbe
Addon levels must be copied to the missions folder.
Recorded demos are saved to the demos folder.
By default, xDescent plays the midi files located on the music folder but you can overwrite them with the music of your choice. Supported formats are: ogg, mid, xm, s3m, mod (mp3s aren't supported). These are the names of the music files: briefing.mus, credits.mus, descent.mus, game01.mus, game02.mus, game03.mus, game04.mus
Known Bugs:
- Death scene isn't displayed
- Descent II has some minor graphic glitches
- Descent has some major graphic glitches but they don't affect the gameplay
Until a new version of d2x-Rebirth SDL fixes these bugs, there is nothing I can do about them."
