Descent 3 v1.2

Descent 3 v1.2

Upgrade Descent to version 1.2.

New features for Version 1.2.0:

- Reduced network traffic in multiplayer games by not sending position packets for dedicated servers, dead players, and observers.

- Additional Pentium III enhancements: motion blur on robots and powerup sparkles.

- Under Linux, service mode (invoked with -service) now works like a true service.

- Secondary weapon fire packets are now sent relialbly.

- Added support for EAX 2.0.

- Changed the controller (joystick) code to use by default the Windows API. Version 1.0.0 used the Windows API, but 1.1.0 used DirectInput. To use DirectInput under 1.2.0, use the "-directinput" command-line option (which does the same thing as the "-alternatejoy" option.) DirectInput should be used with joysticks that don't work with the Windows API, such as the Wingman Interceptor and other multiple-hat sticks.

Fixes for Version 1.2.0:

- Fixed a minor AI path-following bug.

- Add-on table files now work correctly when pages in the add-on are dependent on other add-on pages.

- Fixed an energy center problem in Entropy games.

- Fixed a problem in CTF games picking up the flag in small rooms.

- F7 no longer crashes when pressed immediately upon joining a netgame.

- Fixed z-buffer rendering problems under OpenGL.

- Fixed an OpenGL problem caused by setting the magnification filter to an invalid setting.

- DMFC is now notified of player damage before the player is killed.

- Fixed a menu problem that showed no ship logo selected when an OAF

-format logo was selected.

- Stats are now written to PXO when a server quits.

- Fixed syncing problems in multiplayer when a guided missile is released.

- Changed the Winsock packet buffer to be 16KB.

- Removed the joystick sample-rate cap mistakenly added in version 1.1.0.
