Installing SDL, SDL_mixer and D2X-XL on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X
Installing addon data (hires textures, hires sounds, hires models, etc.)
Developer information (source repository access, Eclipse/CTD and Subclipse installation)
Requirements
You will need the full Descent 2 game data and a 3d accelerator
graphics card in order to run D2X-XL.
It will also work with the Descent 2 shareware/demo data, although not
perfectly, but it will not work with the Descent 1 demo data.
Caveats
In order to get access to all features of D2X-XL and ensure flawless operation of the program, using the folder structure as
outlined in the Descent installation chapter is mandatory.
It is also a good idea to make a clean install of Descent 1 and Descent
2,
and move the files their proper folders as described in the Descent
installation chapter. It is important not to have duplicate files in
different folders. Files not listed in the Descent installation chapter
can be safely deleted, or compose optional addon data.
