We've been so busy with Descent 3, Mercenary, FreeSpace, FreeSpace 2, and several other projects that we haven't given much thought to this old code. But we know that many of you are eager to get it, so here you go. We were amazed and impressed at the cool things people did with the Descent source we released a few years ago. It touches us deeply how devoted some people are to the Descent series, and we look forward to seeing what people can do with this Descent II source. Matt Toschlog Mike Kulas Outrage Entertainment Volition, Inc. ============================================ About the Source Code: Included is almost all the source code to Descent 2, ver. 1.2. We removed all code to which we did not own the copyright. This mainly involved low- level sound and modem code and the movie code. The Descent Network has agreed to provide a list of mirror locations where this code can be downloaded. The location is: http://www.descent2.com/ddn/sources/descent2 The following tools were used in the development of Descent: Watcom C/C++, version 9.5 Microsoft Macro Assembler, version 6.1x Opus Make, version 6.01 Have fun with the code! Parallax Software Corporation 12/14/1999 As Packaged the code currently will not compile. Some code had to be removed to release it, therefore you will get some missing file errors when building. Much of this code is very close to the Descent 1 source code. Many people have put effort into porting that code, so if you are interested in porting D2, you should be able to take advantage of some of that work.
