Re: [p5glove] Re: DBTS P5 Version

It seems there is a new community-made version (a patch really) of DBTS just released yesterday or so, fixing a lot of issues and adding DirectX9 support to the old game.
http://www.megamods.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=64

It doesn't seem to work with the P5 version though - it works but there is no P5 support.

Well, good news... it works for me!

Here's what I did:
0) set up P5 glove as per the manufacturers instructions. Then installed
official driver v2.0
1) copy the contents of the DBTS CD to C:\DIE
2) copy the contents of the LFL CD to C:\DIE
3) copy the patch files EXCLUDING the DATA and MOVES folders to c:\DIE
4) run either "windie.exe" or "dbts.exe"
5) select Options->Control->P5 Arcade

I don't know if excluding the folders makes a difference, but I thought
I'd start small...

The only in-game test I've tried was a quick Arena match with the glove
fingers as sword moves. It was a quick victory, so I'd call the test a
success!

System:
Dell Dimension2350
Celeron 1.8GHz
1GB RAM
EVGA nVidia 6200 PCI (Driver v182.5)
WinXP SP2
DirectX 9.0C

The only snag I've run into is that if I turn off the P5 I sometimes
lose the LeftMouseButton functionality on both my PS2 and USB mouse.
(Actually the LMB causes the window to lose focus!) This isn't related
to DBTS though, as it did this before I installed it. Perhaps something
to do with the P5's USB handling? I can often regain LMB function by
briefly turning on the P5. Weird...

Any way, thanks for passing on the patch!

Roid, I used to play Die by the Sword (the original, not the expansion) quite a lot with my friends. The multiplayer was great party fun once we all got used...
