The d2x source code includes a few other programs besides Descent II itself. These are: mveplayer ========= A standalone MVE movie player. So far, it is able to play all MVE files I have been able to find. If you find one that doesn't work, please let me know. Note that the "mve" files found in the Macintosh version of Descent II are not really mve files. They appear to be some sort of quicktime-related format. To build mveplayer, configure the source tree as normal, then execute "make mveplayer" from within the libmve subdirectory. hogcreate ========= Creates a hog file from all the files in the current directory. hogextract ========== Extracts a hog file into the current directory mvlcreate ========= Creates an mvl file from all the files in the current directory. mvlextract ========== Extracts an mvl file into the current directory tex2txb ======= Converts an ascii tex (briefing) file to an "encrypted" txb file. txb2tex ======= Converts an encrypted txb file to an ascii tex file. To build the rest of the utilities, configure the source tree as normal. Then, from within the utilities subdirectory, execute "make " to build just that utility, or "make utils" to build all of them.
