Original Game Data
==================

In order to play this game you need original game data.
Unless you have original Descent 2 CD (or shareware episode) you can get
DRM-free version of Descent 2 from Good Old Games (GOG.com):

    https://www.gog.com/en/game/descent_2

The package game-data-packager(6) supports Descent 2 to create convenience,
easy installable data packages and should also be able to update the data
automatically to the latest version.

For example, you can create your game data package with:
   game-data-packager -i descent2 <path/to/gog.com_installer>


Or you can do a manual installation, and extract game data files using
"innoextract (>= 1.3)" utility.
The following files will need to be placed to "~/.d2x-rebirth":
    ALIEN1.PIG
    ALIEN2.PIG
    DESCENT2.HAM
    DESCENT2.HOG
    DESCENT2.S11
    DESCENT2.S22
    FIRE.PIG
    GROUPA.PIG
    ICE.PIG
    INTRO-H.MVL
    OTHER-H.MVL
    ROBOTS-H.MVL
    WATER.PIG

Optional multiplayer missions can be copied (from MISSIONS folder) to
"~/.d2x-rebirth/missions":
    d2-2plyr.hog
    d2-2plyr.mn2
    d2chaos.hog
    d2chaos.mn2

With the PC version, these files - except the Movies (*.mvl) - are
archived in the file 'descent2.sow' on the Descent2 CD-Rom.
'descent2.sow' is an ARJ-archive and can be extracted with `arj`
utility.
