  1. Hey this question is for all the Insurgents. Do you find that playing in free flight Insurgent mode using that mpak1 in mission control causes a slow down? Before I started playing as an insurgent using that add on I never experienced such a drop in frame rates. With no ships on the screen, just around Sygan starbase the frames drop to a crawl. This is with 2.09 Final(refresh) and 2.09 mpak1. I also deleted my bc3000ad folder re-installed 2.08 from the CD, applied the patch, and the mpak1 to play as an Insurgent, and it goes to a crawl. But If I play as a galcom it's smooth. Do any of you get this? ------------------ Commander Cruis.In ICV Defiance "Dare to be defiant"
  2. I came across something about engineers and off duty, but whoever it was,... was whining in the new version discussion so I didn't read it all, I was there to read about the goings on with the patch, it looked long anyway. So this thing you changed was quirky? Or there was a vote to change it? or you saw merit in what they were talking about? I'd fire anyone who's not at their post in a red alert! if I saw system engineer 1 sitting on his bum during an alert, I'd take him and drop him on Jupiter! Hey you ever contemplated implementing a button you can push to go to different alerts? Like red alert? And making all off duty personnel automatically switch to on-station? if you uploaded the refresh how come the date on 2.08 to 2.09 hasnt changed from 01/01/00 to 01/04/00 ------------------ Commander Cruis.In ICV Defiance "Dare to be defiant" [This message has been edited by Cruis.In (edited 01-04-2000).]

  4. Hey? How come you changed the Engineer thing? If all engineers are needed then they're needed. While the ship is falling apart around them, and you need everyone on duty, they're just going to sit in there quarters watching vids? Seems like an unneccessary micromanagement. ------------------ Commander Cruis.In ICV Defiance "Dare to be defiant"
  5. Hey who's Akira? I don't see his name anywhere, I thought I did one time. Yeah I think I did on the Insurgent page, but I don't think it has an up to date email address. ------------------ Commander Cruis.In ICV Defiance "Dare to be defiant"
  6. quote:you should be able to just revert back to v2.08 when I release the refresh and patch to the newer v2.09. Ok I just want to be sure, we can unpatch as normal from the currently applied 2.09 Final by renaming, unpatch.bak to .bat and then we can apply the new patch you'll upload later. Just want to make sure because I don't have much experiencing at patching, unpatching, and I'm paranoid that I'll do something to mess up how good I have bc3k set. Like if I get a random crash, I'll be thinking, it's because of all the unpatching and patching I'm doing. append: oh I noticed the big slowdown, I had emailed someone else to make sure it was not my computer.

  7. Hey gee, just because I forgot to put in my signature doesn't mean I'm ashamed..sheesh. hmm ok I'm gonna download it now, thanks. What can I do for free flight? If I shoot at Galcom ships, the red insurgent dots will turn green? DeSylva: that's what I meant. ------------------ Commander Cruis.In ICV Defiance "Dare to be defiant"
  8. ddue right now fireworks are popping outside my house. Yeah I'll add in the signature. I like the insurgents. Because I think of Galcom as the U.s Government all corrupt! And I wanna do something about it. I'm the rebel with a cause. But I'm in free flight, you can't be in an Insurgent in free flight can you? There's no choice to be one. And if there is let me know! Now for that signature a little later. Aramike, I do this in moon region. I shoot my shuttle then, dock them at Genesis manually, and repair it. Charles: I also do this ot rest my crew! And it's a trick, which I is why I shared it ehehe My first 10 million is all I want then I trade. And tell me about the insurgent thing and how to play it in free flight.

  9. So you don't have enough money to really start trading, or to start running inflated trade routes, and you need 10 million or so to get going, and you need it fast. Here's what you do. 1) Launch all your shuttles with their mining drones. You're going to drop them off at the planet of your choice, obviously one your currently at. (make sure the planet has a starstation in orbit) 2)Deploy them(the drones) as usual. 3)then dock all the shuttles except shuttle one. 4)Order shuttle 1 to halt. Then swing your BC around, and aim at it with your IOD. Fire a couple shots, make sure not to destroy it. But damage it about half way. 5) Order the shuttle to dock at the starstation around the planet. Then proceed to repair it. Now when you launch, you will see that the different repair times for each damages component, will have been added up, and will be added to the game clock just a few seconds after you launch. So the more damage the shuttle has, means a higher total repair time, which will be added to the game clock . Thus your drones will nearly be full just like that in 5 minutes. And if they've got a good haul of expensive stuff, you've got 12 million. Note: don't do this at Galcom hq. For some reason the repair time isn't added to the game clock if you do it there. Obviously has to do with whether you pay for the repairs or not. And at galcom hq repairs are free. So do it at starstation where you would have to pay for repairs.
  10. Hey one time, I entered one of those orange things. BUt by accident, the ship was on auto pilot near it or something. Anyway I entered NUllspace, and I tried flying back through to return to normal space, but it just would not go. Anyway, which fluxfield were you at? And how many ships were in this Galcom fleet? Do you remember? append: yes I know you can get otu of nullspace, I just couldn't get out at that time. [This message has been edited by Cruis.In (edited 01-01-2000).]
  11. Ok, I'm sorry about this, but I have another quick question. I just want to be sure, so as to get the most out of my graphics. Gouraud shaded textures is the highest setting for space graphics right? Or does texture mapped look better? It didn't say which is the highest setting in the manual.
  12. what?? But I've captured IDAN and all.. a strategic point. And got so many millions. and have thousands of ep. So I really have to start over, unless I want to get all sorts of errors right? And I had nearly all my scre %30 ai too. so do I delete the save games from BC? Or do I delete them manually in DOS?
  13. Hey I'm on the Commanders roster. ICV Defiance, Spectre fleet. Seems someone missed me. And I posted someway above. **I got ya Crusin, check in with Akira and see if he has a place for you to bunk....Rattler [This message has been edited by Rattler (edited 12-31-1999).]
  14. LOL, if you think that's bad, I got a story for you. But it would be deleted. Anyway down to my question, I'm posting it here so as not to start a new thread. ok I don't know how to do that QUOTE thing so I manually quote Quote 'Figures. Never use old save games with new beta versions!' If I patch to 2.09 Final when it's out. Can I use my old save games form 2.08? I have not patched to any of the candidates as yet. Just want to make sure.
  15. Unless, you have screwed around with bc3k in anyway there's no way it won't work. all the time, the problem is that because bc3k is simulated down to personel using the bathroom(exageration) anyway the problem is, you can't get away with stuff you do in other games, the game won't let you do something against it's physics(meaning if it aint realistic, it can't be done. And it's not a bug it's how it was created. I better tone it down, I'm just a newbie! [This message has been edited by Cruis.In (edited 12-29-1999).]
  16. Hey, just to let you know. I haven't had trouble deploying atv's or drones, after the first time I tried. I just use tacops, and set the waypoints from a top down view. (I dont think it could end up under the planets surface that way) And I haven't had trouble with em ever.
  17. Hey to those people who say they have to start a name game everytime they change settings, I just want to clarify. You people are actually deleting everything, and mean you can't copy away the save game to bring it back in later after you have installed the game again right?
  18. I change my memory settings around all the time, because I'm trying to find the perfect one, and see if it's the cause of certain crashes. And I reuse my old save game each time, I mean the one I'm currently playing. I'm in free flight. And I've never had to patch, unpatch, I have 2.08 out of the box. Maybe he did something wrong patch wise?
  19. Hey yeah same thing. I noticed all the memory was reading 0. Then I go in, just push ok. Instead of cancel or anything else, and bc loads as normal. Do you also have the problem where it boots you back to desktop after an hour or so?
  20. ah good! I was wondering about these things too. How come sometimes it worked like a charm and other times it decided to take a sick day. I hate if there's a bug that's indiginious to my game. Good to know others have the same thing But bad to know that they have it at all of course. append: yes not a bug, I didn't mean for this one, I mean if there is a perk in general.

  21. v2.08 Yes, and I didn't see one at first. Because the threads topic didn't properly identify it. But Somewhere I read, about switching to 2 mb of texture memory, that solved, the out of sync error. So I can exit and restart bc3k normally now without having to reboot. Now I'm hoping that I don't have the boot back to desktop, 'fault protection error' now. Would limiting glide apps to 2mb of texture memory make bc3k run slower? Like less frames?
  22. Hi, I have a Voodoo2, and the monitor goes out of sync after I play bc3k and then try to start it again. Let me explain. I start the game, and everything's fine, some T.V show comes on that I want to watch, so I exit bc3k normally, QUIT. Now after watching T.v I come back and start it again, the monitor goes out of sync. I can hear the music. And the game just keeps going, all the way to the starting menu, which is when the monitor comes back on, and it's in windows with a dialogue box saying "this program has performed illegal op." So in effect, if I play a session of bc3k, and I exit normal, I always have to reboot before I can play it again. has anyone had this trouble? Can anyone help?
