Unfortunately they did NOT implement these cool functions in D3. Before you download my D3 Sol Ascent demos please read my introduction on them carefully as this version is buggy as hell which also affects the demo recording feature.
As said on my main page I haven't yet found the time to program a nifty JavaScript function which would enable you to jump to sublinks in the new generated frameset. Thus you will have to jump to the document and scroll down or use the right pulldown-menu to access the subtitle you're interested in.
A note to MAC users
My demos have been recorded on a PC but should be playable on MACs using the following method (courtesy of Morten Reippuert Knudsen):
Use Apple's free ResEdit which can be downloaded from Apple
From the file-menu choose "Get File/Folder infos"
Change the demo-files type to "BINA" and the creator to "????"
According to some MAC users this seems to work but not with all my demos. We haven't yet worked out what's the problem with those who don't run correctly so all you MAC Descenters, please mail me your experiences with converting my demos. At the moment I'm also waiting on some info from Outrage on the demo specs. If they can't help us out we might program a demo converter ourselves. If you're a programmer and interested let me know.
important note on my D3 demos
I recorded them on a limited framerate so they become significantly smaller. The backshot of which is that a replay on frame unlimited systems makes the demos almost too fast to watch. Thus I suggest you limit the FPS for demo viewing purposes, you can easily switch back to normal afterwards. To limit frame time open the D3 launcher | setup | misc | optional D3 command line switches and add -framecap 30. Sorry for the inconvenence but I guess anyone will prefer this over larger demos and extended download time.
