I just started playing Descent again and found d2x-xl. Wow! Holy freaking crap, 1200x1600 and as fast as you can imagine! Unbelievable, considering how slow D1 was when I first played it when it first came out. Anyway, I have D2 and D1 loaded in d2x-xl and since D1 plays so freaking well, I decided to play that one first. Now the map works just fine with D2, press Tab to bring it up, but in D1, I can only get the map by pressing Alt F1 and F2 as radar windows. This is not helpful, I need the full map so that I can see it and move it around to see where I am going. D1 came on floppies and I was smart enough to back up the disks on CD and so I can still play, but I have not manual for that game, or if I did, it is long gone now. How the heck do you bring up the full automap in D1? And last question, are there any good walkthroughs around for D1 and D2? I really cannot find any. A long time ago, Moon had some kind of Descendarium page that was freaking awesome with pictures and demos to show where the secret levels are and how to beat bosses, but I cannot find Moon's site anymore. Any good maps, walkthroughs, or guides to show where the secret levels are in a pinch? I try not to use walkthroughs as that is like doing a crossword puzzle with the answer sheet in front of you, but I really do not want to miss important stuff like the secret levels. Any good sites or help out there? This rocks so freaking hard, thanks guys! Moon, if you are still around, your site was the best, will it come back? -- ~Ohmster theohmster at comcast dot net Put "messageforohmster" in message body to pass my spam filter.

I found no problems when viewing the automap in a Descent 1 mission using D2X-XL. The Descendarium has moved; find the link in my Descent site's (http://www.descent2.de) links section.

IU cannot figure it out unless mine is broken or something, hard to believe as the game runs so well... -- ~Ohmster theohmster at comcast dot net Put "messageforohmster" in message body to pass my spam filter.

Would it be possible, any way in hell possible, for you to post the way that YOU got it to work, in other words, how are you able to view the Decent 1 automap, on YOUR machine, when YOU play? -- ~Ohmster theohmster at comcast dot net Put "messageforohmster" in message body to pass my spam filter.
