Hey guys, I am playing D1 again and having such a blast with this game, now that I can play it at high res on XP. Thank God for D2x-xl! Anyway, I found a secret level already on level 10 I think. That was fun but I had to do it so many times because I could not save and did not want to lose my hostages. I did it by using the cloaking power ups to sneak up on those rotten fusion gun purple big bad boys, and then used my invulnerable power up to get past the reactor. How mad I was when I finally got through the level and could not find my way out of the reactor room with all of my hostages after my invulnerability power up pooped out! Now I am on level 17 I think and dammit, I saved the game right when I was in a big room with a lot of bad enemies. The game locks up in there and I end up not being able to play. I used the auto backup but it saved the game in the same spot so I am screwed. Well, I can play from the exit of the level before, just have to do the level over again. So where are the three secret levels in D1? I do not want to miss any. I found level 10, what are the other levels where secret levels can be found? Instructions as to how to find them would be bitching and a screencap would be awesome. I would settle for the level and general location though. Thanks. -- ~Ohmster theohmster at comcast dot net Put "messageforohmster" in message body to pass my spam filter.

The D1 demos won't play in D2X-XL though, that is kind of sad. I am in level 21 now, if you got a minute, can you tell me where the secret entrance is located? Isn't it near the red door, up in the rock celing somewhere? Thanks Moon, you rock! -- ~Ohmster theohmster at comcast dot net Put "messageforohmster" in message body to pass my spam filter.

Moon, I found your page here: http://www.art-reibert.de/moon/descent/ I can find out how to open and blow the reactor on level 21 but where is the maps to show where the secret level entrances are on Descent 1? Did you take them off or something? Can you give me a direct URL to the page? Thanks buddy. -- ~Ohmster theohmster at comcast dot net Put "messageforohmster" in message body to pass my spam filter.

Oh definitely, thanks Moon! You really do have the absolute best Descent site out there, period, for useful info and help with Descent. I finished the 2nd secret level but did not like that one too much. Too quick and way too many spawning machine gun bots. They kicked my freaking ass dude and I was so happy just to be done with it. You can turn on "Savegame in secret levels" with D2X-XL, but if you do, and then exit the mine, the next level cannot be found and D2X-XL goes into an endless loop about cannot find next level, back to the mine end sequence, cannot find level, back to the end of the mine, ad infinitum. That sucks so you really do have to get all the way through the secret level without getting killed because what good is the mine savegame if you cannot continue playing when done with the secret level? D2X-XL is freaking awesome, Moon. I got it working so freaking good, it is a shame that you cannot run it on your box. The only thing I cannot get to work is the audio files for the briefings in D1. I downloaded the extra.hog file but no matter where I put it, I get no audio briefings but the high res movies, graphics, and textures sure does rock. I can help you get it to work on your machine if you want. Follow my sig instructions to email me and I will get it to work if it can be done. I would be honored to help such a long standing Descent partner Moon. Gotta go to work now, thanks buddy. -- ~Ohmster theohmster at comcast dot net Put "messageforohmster" in message body to pass my spam filter.

It is a good idea to regularly check for program updates. They appear on an almost daily base, as I try to fix all known and reproducable bugs as quickly as possible.

Another rotten bug is the cloak and invulnarability powerups. If you get some of them in the secret level or even if you go into the secret level with some that you already had, they are gone when you exit the secret level. That really sucks because I do not do the secret levels anymore now, I really need those powerups and cannot afford to lose the ones I got. :( Will check for updates to see if that rotten bug is fixed. Matter of fact, I have not tried it with the most recent version that I have of D2X-XL, 1.9.17.0, will do a quick check to see if it is fixed now... ...OH FUCK YA IT IS FIXED!!!!!
