00:33:00 Devastator: your Incindia character.
00:33:13 Devastator: patriot of the magic nation or patriot of some other nation?
00:44:27 Devastator: up to you if it's one that still exists or already conquered?
00:48:09 Devastator: kk, no biggie then.
05:18:59 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:25:42 Devastator: could be better. Little down today.
05:26:10 Devastator: did finish the k-com battle.
05:26:16 Devastator: so now it's bookkeeping and then next month.
05:26:50 MidJag: Well I was thinking I could stream that game again.
05:30:53 MidJag: Actually never mind, I just died and now I'm annoyed with the game
05:30:56 Devastator: lemme play some rounds of survivor.
05:37:15 Devastator: misjudged that last nade toss.
05:37:22 Devastator: at the start, split up a bit until you get a gun.
05:37:25 Devastator: then we find each other, ok?
05:37:28 ER: me and
syv are playing a game
05:37:28 Devastator: speeds up the beginning.
05:37:43 ER: nah, game called mobius front 83
05:40:53 Devastator: did 150 damage, but got killed.
05:41:07 Devastator: nah, coulda had them, just got too brave.
05:46:48 Devastator: That's how it's done.
05:46:56 Devastator: good decision to run from those two guy, they would have murdered us.
05:47:02 Devastator: and since we both had medkits, we could take the red.
05:47:21 Devastator: a minute to cool down.
05:47:25 Devastator: did you get that last guy?
05:58:22 Devastator: knew that guy wouldn't expect us to go through the red.
05:58:40 MidJag: It seems like very few people expect us to do that
05:59:07 Devastator: it's a common blind spot.
05:59:13 Devastator: it also does very little damage near the start of the game.
05:59:21 Devastator: quite a lot later on.
05:59:32 Devastator: then maybe talk you through descent.
06:06:53 Devastator: that guy had both a PCP Peching and the autoshotty.
06:07:07 Devastator: I should have killed him, but didn't have an alt weapons because I was trying to use all the flares I found.
06:07:16 Devastator: not a great player though, I should have had him.
06:12:25 Devastator: how far have you gotten?
06:12:43 MidJag: I have downloaded DOSbox
06:13:41 Devastator: Have you extracted Descent to a folder, and do you know where it is?
06:14:28 Devastator: Can you find it for me, then?
06:14:48 MidJag: sure, so it's extreacted and in my downloads
06:15:22 Devastator: bad to have it in an overfull folder.
06:15:30 Devastator: Can you move it to one that doesn't have a lot of stuff in it?
06:17:16 MidJag: Soo, is this thing emulating an old computer essentially?
06:17:42 Devastator: Do you see a command prompt?
06:17:46 Devastator: Something with a flashing cursor?
06:17:57 Devastator: What's it say before that?
06:18:16 Devastator: Do you have the full path of wherever you put Descent open?
06:18:58 Devastator: well, you just need the folder.
06:19:04 Devastator: so find it, and click on the top menu bar.
06:19:13 Devastator: well, the top bar for the path.
06:19:26 Devastator: it should start with a letter and then read out all the folders that are between the drive and the game.
06:19:48 Devastator: with that open, enter the dos prompt, and type
06:19:49 MidJag: Can I just copy and paste it in?
06:20:20 Devastator: mount c and then the full prompt.
06:21:32 MidJag: okay. Everything is typed in
06:21:43 Devastator: mount c and then the prompt?
06:21:53 Devastator: like mount c C:\Games\Dos
06:22:16 MidJag: It says illlegal command
06:22:35 Devastator: okay, can you type it out into irc first?
06:23:07 MidJag: C:\Users\MidJa\OneDrive\Desktop\Descent
06:23:22 MidJag: Yes, I know I saved it to Desktop, I'm scum~
06:23:30 Devastator: That might actually be messing it up here.
06:23:38 Devastator: so into Z, it should read..
06:23:49 Devastator: mount c C:\Users\MidJa\OneDrive\Deskto\Descent
06:24:00 Devastator: Desktop, not desko.
06:24:20 MidJag: Wait, do I type in "mount c"
06:24:25 Devastator: that's the command.
06:24:47 Devastator: you want it to mount, the command, that folder, the argument, as drive c, the other argument.
06:24:58 Devastator: first word is the verb, all that follows is the things the verb uses.
06:26:06 MidJag: Drive C is mounted as local directory Blah blah
06:26:50 Devastator: and then hit enter.
06:27:05 Devastator: listed a bunch of files out?
06:27:15 Devastator: do you see a descent.bat among them?
06:27:33 Devastator: now type descent, and hit enter
06:28:07 Devastator: there's some more stuff to make it work properly.
06:28:22 Devastator: at the top of the dosbox window, what does it read for Cpu speed?
06:29:13 Devastator: okay, so it's on auto.
06:29:21 Devastator: might need tweaking, but might be fine just that way.
06:29:21 MidJag: How do I make the widnow bigger anyway?
06:29:35 Devastator: for exclusive fullscreen.
06:29:45 Devastator: there are window multiplication functions and such, but they're complicated.
06:29:56 MidJag: Fullscreen is fine for me
06:30:12 MidJag: Heh, it says pilot name is trent
06:30:49 Devastator: yeah, I zipped up my folder to send to you.
06:30:53 Devastator: not the original empty one.
06:30:59 Devastator: you can delete them or load my saves or whatever.
06:31:10 MidJag: Ah. No prob, just thought it was funny
06:31:12 Devastator: but if you use my pilot file, that has my controls on it..
06:31:51 MidJag: Actually. I get some options
06:31:59 Devastator: yeah, you're not stuck with them.
06:32:04 Devastator: but it starts with them.
06:32:13 MidJag: What the hell is a cyberman?
06:32:42 MidJag: Because that sounds like an awesome controller method
06:32:55 Devastator: I think that's an early VR setup.
06:34:08 Devastator: nah, just a werid joystick.
06:34:16 Devastator: the game does have VR display support.
06:37:49 Devastator: It's actually part of why it's tricky to dosbox correctly.
06:38:10 Devastator: it has a lot of stuff like attempts to properly throttle the framerate, which confuses the hell out of dosbox.
06:40:16 Devastator: I forgot to save after that bonus level clear last time.
06:41:12 MidJag: So, I got the thing to start plahing
06:44:03 MidJag: I need to rebind these controls if that's possible
06:45:06 Devastator: or are you trying to play with mine? Hah.
06:45:18 MidJag: how the hell do you play like this
06:46:01 MidJag: My normal human hands don't turn in those impposible directions to both move and strafe at the same time~
06:47:03 MidJag: And are you supposed to like bob up and down?
06:56:02 MidJag: Huh, could you play this with like an xbox controller??
06:58:34 Devastator: one hand on the left side.
06:58:36 Devastator: one hand on the right side.
06:59:13 MidJag: I guess my keyboards different from yours.
06:59:20 MidJag: Since it's a laptop vs desktop
07:02:57 Devastator: keys probably smaller.
07:03:00 Devastator: I do have small hands.
07:03:06 Devastator: certainly no Boxing Gloves McGee.
07:03:16 Devastator: wouldn't mine hearing your attempts..
07:05:52 MidJag: Tuesday. too tired to learn a new game tonight
07:13:03 Devastator: ugh, had half of a good run through B1.
07:14:21 Devastator: did the exit after the yellow key absolutely perfectly.
07:14:46 Devastator: got killed three times in the small bonus room by the fusion hulks.
07:14:59 Devastator: two from the ones in the reactor room, one from the one behind you upon entrance.
07:16:45 Devastator: Died like 3 times in the red key room, too.
07:16:56 Devastator: I'd like any run where I have no more than 3 deaths.
07:17:37 Devastator: still, though, with the number of points you get, six deaths is basically neutral.
07:20:43 Devastator: Callisto is basically a lavel where they put everything in secrets.
07:20:50 Devastator: the level after B1.
07:26:52 MidJag: oh yeah, how do you rescue the miners?
07:27:47 Devastator: you run into a miner.
07:27:52 Devastator: miner gets picked up.
07:27:57 Devastator: and then you don't die before exiting the mind.
07:28:15 MidJag: Ah, how do you open the miner doors in that case
07:30:40 MidJag: Can you hurt the miners behind the door when your shooting it? With like the laser if it goes through the holes?
07:31:43 Devastator: they're just sprites, you can't hurt them.
