dxx-rebirth-0.60pl20220929p0 – 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.

The shareware/demo data can be downloaded from here:

https://www.dxx-rebirth.com/game-content/

If using the GOG.com version of Descent I, you must extract the files
from setup_descent_1.4a_(16596).exe using the innoextract package.

The files will be in a directory named app. You must move the contents
of this directory to a directory named ~/.d1x-rebirth/Data

The eaisest way to do this is to follow these steps:
$ mkdir -p ~/.d1x-rebirth/Data
$ cp -R app/* ~/.d1x-rebirth/Data

You can then delete everything extracted from the exe.

If you own the GOG.com version of Descent II, follow the above steps
with the setup_descent_2_1.1_(16596).exe file and using
~/.d2x-rebirth/Data as the directory name.

Music
=====

The MIDI soundtrack requires the package timidity to be installed.

Add-Ons
=======

Add-ons with high resolution images, new soundtracks, and German
briefings are available including installation instructions at:
