The games/dxx-rebirth port

dxx-rebirth-0.60pl20260412 – source port of Descent, a 6-degrees-of-freedom shooter (cvsweb github mirror)

Description

DXX-Rebirth is a Source Port of the Descent and Descent 2 Engines,
offering OpenGL graphics and effects, advanced Multiplayer, many
improvements and new features.

Do you like getting disoriented flying through narrow corridors while
getting fired at from 6 degrees of freedom? Enjoy looking at confusing
maps that look like yarn after your cats played with it? Love blowing up
reactors that shoot red balls at you, only to get lost trying to find
the exit afterwards and getting blown up with the entire mine? If this
sounds fun to you, you have probably played Descent 1 or 2.

Installation of the Game Data
=============================

dxx-rebirth requires the original game files from Descent I and/or
Descent II to work properly.  These can come from an original CD or from
GOG.com, including the shareware versions.

Game data from GOG.com can be extracted with unzip(1) (Linux versions),
or innoextract(1) (Windows versions). Both unzip(1) and innoextract are
available in packages. Then move the contents of the directory that
contains DESCENT.HOG to ~/.d1x-rebirth/Data, or the directory containing
DESCENT2.HOG to ~/.d2x-rebirth/Data.

For example:
$ mkdir -p ~/.d1x-rebirth/Data
$ cp -R app/* ~/.d1x-rebirth/Data

Music
=====

The MIDI soundtrack requires the package timidity to be installed.
