| D1X is a modification of the Descent 1 source that was released by Parallax. It's mostly compatible with Descent 1 v1.5, both in multiplayer (new features/fixes may not work with standard Descent, but d1x will still work fine using the old methods) and on the local machine. D1x combines code from both D1DJGPP and ldescent (which are both now defunct/assimilated into d1x) and adds many features of its own. D1x runs on Linux (SDL, GGI, svgalib, and GLX), DOS, and Windows (WGL, directx, and direct3d (incomplete)). In software mode, optimized renderers are available for Pentium and PPro/P2 computers, and opengl hardware acceleration is also available. Source is available through cvs as well as regular .tar.bz2 and .rar releases. |
