- For DESCENT syntax (options), run
- D3D15 /help
-
- Descent 1.5 has better 3D effects and more controls that Descent 1.4a and
- the Descent 2 Interactive Demo. For a full list of options, run
- "DESCENT /HELP" or read the "README.TXT" file for Descent 1.5
-
- One major improvement for Descent 1.5 is a better 3D projection for each
- eye, which gives a better appearance of depth. To manually decrease or
- increase the stereoscopic depth, press [Shift-F1] or [Shift-F2] until
- you like the "look" of the game. To manually decrease or increase the
- interocular spacing (distance between the left and right eyes), press
- [Shift-F3] or [Shift-F4]. Press [Shift-F5] to restore the default
- settings.
-
- I have found that the default 3D settings are great at 320x200. At
- 640x??? modes, I prefer to press [Shift-F2] to increase the
- stereoscopic depth to about 17 or 18.
-
- To change Descent resolutions, run one of
- D3D15 -320x100
- D3D15 -320x200
- D3D15 -320x400
- D3D15 -640x400
- D3D15 -640x480
- Note that the -640x400 and -640x480 screen modes are VESA modes and
- require the VESA SuperVGA BIOS 1.2 or higher to be present (either
- available in hardware or loaded in a TSR) prior to running D3D.
- You can also decrease either the horizontal or vertical resolution by
- a factor of 2 by pressing [Shift-F6] repeatedly during game play. A great
- speed/resolution compromise is 640x200 (D3D15 -640x400 and press [Shift-F6]
- once during game play).
