Cmdr Nova

Outlaw, where have you been? Looked for you in Indie Fourm, and in the RPG section. There's an Indie RPG if you want in. They still want more peeps, but I'm caught up in the current one (Into the Fire). I play almost every kind of game. I love RPG's, (Almost) any kind of sim, and strategy games. Oh, and FPS games are okay for me too. Faves (By Genre): Oni (just got the game; love it!) Command & Conquer: Red Alert, C&C Tiberian Sun, Starcraft The Sims, Sim City 3000 Unlimited, Rollercoaster Tycoon BC3k, BCM Demo F16: MultiRole Fighter, Wing Commander Prophecy, Tachyon: The Fringe SWAT 3: Elite Edition (aka multiplayer edition)

Mikel: We can assume it if you were in Medibay.

Sorry Foss, well I had to add this stuff in (didn't want you to die and all ), Blades said that we wouldn't wait for you, and it seems like they weren't waiting for anyone. I just got back from vacation and almost found my character dead. Well, check it and e-mail me if you still want to post anything and if anything conflicts with what you have. Damn, I screwed up. Well, MY POST ABOVE has been deleted; it has been edited (and re-posted as a quote below) to match the situation (transporting away from ship and evacuating). Lets assume my character has been transported too, along with poeple in medibay. Email me if something is wrong with my post. Oh yeah, Foss, and anyone else that was crippled or helping medibay while the SIF collapsed, then you're with us (again, i'll fix it if i'm assuming too much). (RP) (Modified Earlier Post; original has been deleted by me) quote: (Time: Before SIF Failure) 19 May, 3008 Modified LRT-15 Transport SS Vulture Nova's Quarters Klaxons began to blare as Nova was asleep in his quarters. Crap, what is it now.... "SIF Failure on All Decks!" "Deck 1 Hull Failure!" "Deck 2 Breach Detected!" "Deck 3 Integrity Failure: 2 Minutes!" What the hell? Great. I fall asleep for a bit and then something else comes along. S!@$, 18:10; I was supposed to be back to my post at 17:15. I wonder what kind of reprimand I'll get. That is, if I live long enough to get one. Heh, what a day. Nova suited up and was ready to go. He hit his commlink and contacted the bridge. "Condit . . . AS. All ha . . . abandon sh . . . rep . . . ndon ship. Th . . . is not . . . ill. . . .S. All han . . . , abandon . . ." What the hell??? Better check on Foss and the Medibay--I've got a few commrades still alive there--I have a seriously bad feeling about this. I hope I'm still gettin' paid. Medibay was probably the only room with oxygen and pressure, as it was the only room with a supply of it's own, and was located on the interior of the ship, instead of closer to the hull. "30 seconds until deck 3 total failure! 26, 25, 24, 23, 22," As the computer system intercomm counted down to absolute death, Foss was on the Commlink, trying to get someone to realize there were still people in Medibay. "This is Medibay! We have 6 people in here; repeat, 6 personnel! Hello, anyone read?" "F---, ..(static).., -ransporters ..(static)... Contact w--- oth-- sh-p ...(static)... O--r." Wonders never cease. The entire mission has been screwed, in my opinion. I just hope we can continue at half strength with whatever we have left. "So was that a good thing, or a bad thing?" Foss just stood there, thinking. "Okay, I shouldn't have asked. I heard there were like 1 or 2 ships with us, but I hope I heard right.... They said something about transporters; could they be helping us?" "........ This better be good. Damn........." "10, 9, 8, 7, 6," "Well, now we find out." Don't really want to meet my maker yet.... "Four" Suddenly a strange feeling caught Foss and Nova, as they started to panic. "Thrrrrrrrreeeeeeee..........." A hole appeared out in the corridor, and the door was getting sucked open by the vacuum of space. Explosions began to flare in the room, and then everything turned pale white.... ------- A bright light blinded Nova, and he froze, as the strange sensation took over his body in an instant. Dead. Yee haw. Wow, that wasn't so bad. Hmm.. Am I in heaven? Seconds later, he awoke, to find that he was still alive. He was standing on a deck of another Galcom ship. He could tell by the coloring and the markings on the empty cargo pods laying around. 19th May, 3008 GCV-McKendrick Cargo Bay "Whoa, that was one hell of a rush. I've never been transported before. Can we do it again?" Commander Neena Polovoski, of the McKendrick was standing in front of the group, speaking to Commander Blades. They kissed and embraced for a few seconds, while Akuma turned away. Heh, poor Akuma. Blades knows she likes him. The bastard. At least I wouldn't go playing around while someone who liked me was watching. Alive... Nova thought to himself. Foss obviously has been through transporters before, and was already checking on the rest of the injured who were actually saved. Wow. We used all this time to save those people, and now most of them died anyway. Whoa, I don't feel so good now. Nova ran off to a trash processor and started puking. Damn transporters. Ugghh..... He left for the McKendrick's Medibay for something, while Cmdr. Polovoski, and Cmdr. Blades spoke more of what to do with the rest of the mission. (/RP) Once again, remember that this is only my 6th RPG post, and I'm a newbie (check my registration date below). Come on people, tell me how I'm doing and e-mail me if something screws with anyone elses write-ps. [ 04-19-2001: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ]

Yes, they are in the demo, but remember; they aren't the Instant Action and Career Play are different. Instant Action cannot be saved, and will put you in a mission instantly. Career mode is where you run in Free Play (like in BC3k), where you just do whatever you want, but attack all enemies and such, or you can start a Campaign. Career mode can be saved, and you actually put your name, age, and other info in the game. Finally remember that the universe in the demo isn't the universe in the galaxy map (check your start menu folder). The one in the map is the one in the final game.

Wow! An entire new act! I've got to read up. I'm in North Hollywood. I'm gonna finally be home tomorrow for the RPG!

I seriously agree, but I'll be gone for a while, starting today. I'll be back on Easter Sunday to check up on the board, and will probably add some stuff after I read it (will definitely post that monday). I'm goin to Los Angeles for my Spring Break. Well see you all later. I just might come here once or twice using someone else's computer. Bye!

Hmmm. SC, I've been thinking about how you can't save the IA missions. I think you should disable "Save Game" inside the ingame menu for IA. Either that, or just make the cancel button of the Save Game screen go back to ingame instead of the main menu. I know this is easier said than done, but I think it would be a lot better when the game goes gold. ------------------ <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">Commander Alec Nova</A> (Terran/Mercenary) UCV Dark Outlaw (Modified SpaceStar Class Ship) -Independent Mercenary/Assasin for hire.

Don't worry. I've got it. I know how to get backgrounds and I already have shots of the Megaron done; top-right, bottom-left, front-center, back, a shot of it going into hyperspace, and a shot of it going out of cloak mode. Will send file, via e-mail, with the fighters you ordered, and the shuttle 3 shots. Also, the craft specs file. And, yes, these do look just like in the game (complete with backgrounds), even though it's in bcstudio. I know how to work around stuff like this, you should know. ------------------ @aol.com" TARGET=_blank>Commander Alec Nova (Terran/Mercenary) UCV Dark Outlaw (Modified SpaceStar Class Ship) -Independent Mercenary/Assasin for hire.

Well, I'll jump around 25 min ahead to 12:05 (I was at 11:40 last post). Oh yeah, I also added some of my ideas about BC technology here (medibay section, this would go under heat ingame?). See quoted section below. (RP) 12:05 hrs, 19th May, 3008 Modified LRT-15 Transport SS Vulture Meidbay (Speaking to Cmdr Foss) "Okay, I've moved around 8 people, and helped out 4 people with painkiller, antibiotic, and had 1 person that crashed and was near-death." I knew helping out here was a bad idea. "Alright. I need a break." I realized a cut on my arm (from the gun wound), opened again. "Crap, my arm... Have the Medibay computer get me some low density painkiller, and get me the Low End Med-Laser." quote:Description of Med-Laser: The Med-Laser was a device that would first scan your DNA and flash-create skin cells on demand for you, and close nearly all wounds on you, by streaming fresh skin cells and focusing a light-density laser onto the skin, speeding up the scab-to-skin process. Although it was a miraculous device, you would still have to use a higher density, and more complicated version for surgeries on viral organs, like the heart, lungs, or brain. The Vulture's HD Med-Laser was damaged. Great. This made surgery a lot harder. Since I've been a little rusty with my medical experience, I wonder if any new technologies for this have been developed recently for surgery? 5 minutes later... I got my arm healed, and went to my quarters. This was the worst F#*$*% day of my life. Foss noticed me and said, "Where you going, Nova? You know we don't have enough Med Crew here." I replied, "I need some sleep. Besides, I'm no COMmie. I ain't takin' orders from you." {Mumble}"30+ hrs nonstop at work, no sleep. Heh. Hell, I better get paid overtime and hazard pay for this (getting shot by Gams, the extra Medibay work, more other damned bad luck)...."{/Mumble} Foss didn't hear that last comment. Haha. (/RP) Well, I'll let my character sleep until someone posts to around 16:00 hrs, or a major event happens (whichever comes first). I'll probably explain my guy's past, and where he comes from in the mean time (like in dreams, and flashbacks while sleeping). I'm typing it up, and will have it up around Friday. Sorry for the hectic (and short; in my opinion) intro to my character; all will be revealed. See ya, and I can't wait until Blades' next post! ------------------ Commander Alec Nova (Terran/Mercenary) UCV Dark Outlaw (Modified SpaceStar Class Ship) -Independent Mercenary/Assasin for hire.

Well, I started my RP life as one of the crew of the S.S. Vulture. So far, I've made 2 posts. Blades said anyone (including mercs and other indies) can join at any time, but just to keep to the confines of the story. ------------------ Commander Alec Nova (Terran/Mercenary) UCV Dark Outlaw (Modified SpaceStar Class Ship) "To me, luck is useless in life; especially if you've got a bigger gun than the guy next to you."

(RP) 11:40 hrs, 19th May, 3008 Modified LRT-15 Transport S.S. Vulture Outside of Medibay I heard Foss and Jamont talking. Barely anyone had any medical experience, or training. I knew I had the experience they needed (you learn a lot being a hired Mercenary), but I didn't say anything at first. Jamont left the room, and turned to the other side of the hall, and saw someone. I thought nothing of it. He just kept going to the Cargo Bay. I think my conscience was getting the better of me, but I decided to head back into Medibay and help out, but just for a bit. "Sir, Alec Nova reporting for duty. I think you need someone who has medical skills, don't you? Well, I''ve got the skills you need." Foss replied, "Alright. First we need to move all the people with non-life threatening injuries to other rooms; it's too crowded here." "Sure."

Archiveian, I have Windows ME too. Alright. I still use System Restore , but you can take it off by using these simple steps: First off, follow this start menu trail: Start Menu->Settings->Control Panel, and click on System. Next, click on the Performance tab Go to File System. Go to the Troubleshooting Tab, and check off Disable System Restore. That should free up a lot of disk space, and to mention freeing up some memory because Win Me watches every change to the Registry and System Files. Also, have you manually changed your Swap File settings? It also helps your Hard Drive usage by making sure the Swap File doesn't change size dynamically, because it can go to over 1 gig on some drives. To change Swap File Size, follow steps 1&2 above, but click on Virtual Memory. Click on Let me specify my own V.M. settings, and then on the minimum and maximum, put the same number down. Put like 4-6 times your physical memory in those boxes (384-576 for your 96mb system), but remember to make the min and max the same. Finally, try Windows Update for some other patches and fixes -- either go to Internet Explorer (if you're not using it), and go to Tools->Windows Update(should be 2nd or 3rd option), or (if you're already running IE), Click Here, or Here. They've got updates on most Windows Drivers if yours aren't current, so thats cool, and also have patches, and bug fixes for most stuff. You only need the ones in Critical Updates (the package has all of those patches), and Device Drivers (get those all, they're updated full versions), and you should get the ones in Recommended, because they have other patches for Direct X, and a Hard Drive cache patch, and the latest version of Microsoft Virtual Machine (you don't need this; its only for Java web sites, you still should, if you use Active Desktop, or surf with IE). (update)You should also go to your manufacturer's web site, and look up your model/make for some patches. I know Packard Bell/NEC does this and so does HP. One more thing to look up is the manufacturer for your major system components (monitor, sound card, and maybe hard drive (you can look up the maker by going to the system properties box, and going to the device manager tab; head down to the bottom for a link if you don't know the site of your company), in addition to the motherboard/chipset, and the graphics)(/update) Also, I discovered the Save Game but no Restore or Load thing while playing too. Hey SC (Derek), what's up here man? It screwed me up while playing; I was at 14:10, just crusing to sell some stuff I got in a container, and then I was goin into the menu, but I accidently clicked Save, and when I clicked cancel, it brought me to the title. (update)Oh yeah, I forgot that NIC's take up memory while you're connected (at least mine slowed my computer when I used to have it connected on cable--we got rid of cable 'cause it cost too much back when I had it in Dec 99). Check for some driver updates there (manufacturer site) as well.(/update) (2nd Update) Yeah, okay. You can find patches for your part at Winfles' Driver Section. Tried the link myself; It so happens that Winfiles was taken by CNet. Umm. You click on the type of part you have, then use the OS Filter, and look at the huge list from there. Hmmm. The original Winfiles was easier to navigate than this. Sorry; best I can come up with.(/2nd Update) Well, I hope something works out. ------------------ Commander Alec Nova (Terran/Mercenary) UCV Dark Outlaw (Modified SpaceStar Class Ship) "To me, luck is useless in life; especially if you've got a bigger gun than the guy next to you."

Archiveian, Post your system specs. This might not be a graphics problem, but something else. Do you have any joysticks, multiple moniters, etc. Just give us the processor, ram, any modems or ethernet cards attached, sound cards, blah blah blah; you know. The works. Any PCI or AGP cards, and other options attatched. Also, Windows Version, and disk space would be important too. ------------------ Commander Alec Nova (Terran/Mercenary) UCV Dark Outlaw (Modified SpaceStar Class Ship) "To me, luck is useless in life; especially if you've got a bigger gun than the guy next to you."

Woo hoo! I'm finally going to write my self into the story. I'm a newbie, but I hope you like it all. I'll blend into the actual plot later. Alright, it starts when I'm just a Merc Marine on this ship, just coming back from patrol, on the Vulture, going back to my quarters, when those Gams board the ship and cause chaos. I see the Gams before the alarms go off. [rp] 11:15 hrs, 19th May, 3008 Modified LRT-15 Transport S.S. Vulture Deck 1 Damn COMmies. I was just getting used to this ship, and the crew, and then what happens? We can't leave the ship, contact anyone, or do anything that involves mostly anything outside. I mean, what's wrong with that? I've pretty much never liked Galcom, or the Insurgency for that matter too. I decided to head to my quarters for a break, and some well needed sleep; i haven't slept in over 27 hours. "Crap, I need a better job. On my way up, I was beginning to question joining this ship--but something caught my attention. "What the hell?" I muttered to myself. There were 3 Gammulan Marines down the Corridor. They weren't facing me, so at least they didn't see me. I was fully suited and was ready to attack. "Hmm... 3 vs. 1..." I thought to myself. Of course, they had their equipment too. I tossed a grenade, but it didn't do much to their advanced suits. They saw me, and started shooting. I shot back with my pistol, and I got one in the head, but I was still outnumbered, so I only had one option. I ran as hard as I could to the Command Deck (nearest room), yelling and panicing on my Commlink several times, but all of a sudden I felt a pain on my left arm, and then a weird feeling shot up my spine, as the alarms were just setting off, and I fell on the deck........... 11:38 hrs, 19th May, 3008 Modified LRT-15 Transport S.S. Vulture Medibay I woke up and asked myself, "What the hell happened?" A bit later, I was out cold again. When I awoke, my arm was okay, and so was my back. "Technology isn't as useless as I thought." The Commander Foss or something guy was just getting started about how many people were in Medibay and moving them. I didn't even sit up yet. "S% what a headache." I shook my head, and sat up. "Where the hell am I and what time is it," I asked. Somebody told me I was in Medibay and that it was already 11:40. Damn. Must've been out for a while. I stood up, and headed off to go to my quarters to check on what the hell happened while I was gone, about the Gams. "Oh, yeah. Gimme some more pain killer before I go." He doesn't realize the big ass headache I have. "Sure. ;mumble; merc scum ;/mumble;" He gave me the packs of pain killer. "I heard that!" But by then, I was out the door. Damn COMies; and Insurgents too. I knew I should have taken that fighter pilot job back at Pixan.

Okay, since this topic won't be valid any longer, CLOSE THIS THREAD. Also, I would like to end this topic off with this question (which will eventually start the episode 2 release thread): So, when can we expect the 2nd Episode Demo? Possibly 10 days +/- 3days (my best guess, since the final game is expected May 7, and we're going up to Demo Episode 6, released around the same time as the game)???? Well, E2 will have the new terrain engine, and will be based on the latest Beta build at the time of release. I forgot the career on it, but that's okay.

....except the main title song feels out of place once you are in the game (i think that the main title theme should only be on the main title). quote:That I can almost agree with.
