 Whew, I was scared when I wasn't able to receive the confirmation email since my old email is gone.  Anywho, before that endeavor, I changed my name to just Sapphirus

Descent Development / Re: DLE has a virus?
« Last post by Sapphirus on April 08, 2022, 10:45:02 AM »
I have the latest version for almost 2 years on my hard drive before when I migrated my SSDs to my new (and current) rig (since last October).  Anyways, thanks for the answers.  It's definitely a false positive and not downloaded outside of sourceforge or the d2x-xl site

Yes, where did you get it from, and was it recently downloaded? Because if it was a recent download, it's possible the site you downloaded it from was likewise infected and slipped in malware with the download (though these days, most anti-virus systems are good at alerting such things).

If not though, and you've had the file on the computer for awhile now, then yes, it's almost certainly a false positive.

I highly doubt it's anything but a false positive. It's so old any malicious code it did have would've been found a decade ago. Where'd you get it from?

Descent Development / DLE has a virus?

Apparently Microsoft Defender marked dle.exe as a virus that's Severe.  Is it a false positive or it became infected because...Windows 10?

Mess Hall / Re: Request for Descent 1 or 2 Demo files longer than 20 minutes

That demo was just the built-in D2 Counterstrike mission.
I also have a demo for D1 First Strike, but it only goes to level 23 for now.

@Arnie this is absolutely brilliant! Thank you for making this.  Thank you for your sharing.  You are top of your game!  Quick question, what maps are being played in this demo?  Would you have any have other demos to share (any length) as well?  These are great.  Much appreciated.

I have a demo for my (not so skilled) D2 trainee run, about 4.5 hours

Not at present, unfortunately. I believe PD used to have a couple hidden away somewhere, but they're not accessible anymore.

In fact, now that I'm looking around at a few of the other Descent-centric places that I know of, it seems like very few still do anymore--it really does seem like it's just not a thing with the community anymore.  :-\

Mess Hall / Optimal joystick mapping? Here is mine, any suggestions? New Rebirth X1 X2 user.
« Last post by Dosgamer on March 27, 2022, 04:32:14 PM »
Wanted to reach out to the community for optimal controller joystick mapping in Descent Rebirth DX1 and DX2 on a Windows 10 Box.  I am using an Xbox controller.  Please see attached and below.  I have googled some of the below question and did not see any recent information; so apologies if I missed some of the below answers.


1) Had a question on the Axes Section of Joystick Setup.  May I what the correct setting should be of that section?
2) What do I need to set the joystick deadzone to the bottom option in the controller settings?
3) My setup is attached.  May I ask what I am missing or should be changed ?  Or what have others found to be better Xbox controller mapping?
4) Anyone have a diagram of the Xbox Controller button names in rebirth and a what buttons on the joystick they map to?  Or at least the workflow / naming convention of button names on the Xbox controller to button names within Rebirth?

Left stick:
Vertical   =Move forwards/backwards
Horizontal   =Slide Left/Right


Right stick:
Vertical    =Turn up/down
Horizontal    =Turn left/right
Press right stick =flares


R/L Triggers (select inverted) = banking
LB = Fire Secondary weapon (missiles)
RB = Fire Primary weapon

Y = Change Primary weapon
X = Change Secondary weapon
A = Slide up
B = Slide down
