Descent Development / Re: DLE has a virus?
« Last post by Matthew on April 07, 2022, 10:57:39 PM »
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?
« Last post by Sapphirus on April 06, 2022, 07:42:15 PM »
Apparently Microsoft Defender marked dle.exe as a virus that's Severe.  Is it a false positive or it became infected because...Windows 10?

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.  :-\

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

Thank you @Scyphi. Good point.  Probably best to go with video captures.
Is there a place to download demo files for D1 or D2 Rebirth you can recommend? Ie even short ones.

I personally haven't ever really recorded any demos from either game, much less anything longer than a minute, tops (and those that I did record are long gone by now), so unfortunately, I can't help you much there.

I've also never seen a demo file that runs anywhere near as long as 20 minutes done by anyone else. Not to say no one has ever done so of course (though I'm not sure the game allows a single demo to be recorded while playing over multiple levels--never tried, personally), but I'm not sure there's ever been enough interest by players to try. These days, most would use a separate screen-grabbing app to record the footage for uploading on places like YouTube rather than use D1/D2's demo-capturing system, so I'm not sure how many people are going to be able to come forward with anything like you're asking for.

I mean, if you do, great, but...don't know how likely it might be.  :(

Running DX1 and 2 Rebirth, I was looking for demos files to run within D1 and D2 Rebirth that are longer than 20 minutes to run to showcase the game. Really anything on demo file is fine, just wanted a long one to run kinda like a screen saver on a windows box. Apologies for the new user question, but the only demo files I could find were super short in length.
