  1. "It's not a remake!" -- Tim Burton As SC says, rubbish.
  2. For those who didn't get the joke, it was a play on what soback said about if you can do it in real life, you can do it in the game..blah blah.. quote: With what? Pea-shooter? Shuttles don't have any offensive systems, .... not even flares. Swap those crafts around, works better that way. You think I could land a BCmk3 in my backyard??! Where do you think I live, on the moon???
  3. Yeah, I just love being able to jump in my shuttle I keep in the back yard and go blast away some Gammulans, after buzzing the international Space Station in my Battlecruiser mk3.
  4. Yipe. I didn't think that about the movie at all. That's my opinion, though. Good thing there aren't that many Square-heads on these boards. Heh, if there were, you'd probably get blasted for doubting the almighty Sakaguchi.
  5. One more question, this one about OS, though not like Silk's post about OS. I'm planning to get WinXP when it's released in October, and my plan is to split the new drive into two partitions: One for Win2k Pro, and one for Win XP. Now, since these are so similar(the kernels are both based on NT stuff, though XP is more based on 2000), is this a dumb idea? My main reason for having both is the fact that XP is supposed to have MUCH better DOS support than WinME, plus it can run 95/98 programs a lot better than WinME supposedly does. Gotta have my BC3k support, ya know? [edit] I'm also thinking of a third partition for Linux, but that might be overkill...any opinion on that? [/edit] Well, any reply is appreciated. It'll be a while before I start assembling parts and software, so i'm recording any suggestions for later use. [ 07-27-2001: Message edited by: XenoZohar ]
  6. Ack! That's what I get for being impatient... I already hex edited the animation to make it the right size...oh well, I'll probably download the patch anyway to go with the game install in case I need to reinstall. Heh, though I'm not the one who had the problem, thanks for the patch, SC!
  7. Yeah, I have highspeed access covered (going to college in a few weeks). I have cable access right now, though when the EP1 and EP2 demos were released, I still had to use a dial-up. I feel your pain. I don't think I could stand to sign that kind of a contract...
  8. Though I don't know if it's an entirely GOOD thing, I'm 18, so I guess I'M the youngest. Nyah nyah.
  9. Wow, that was fast! Thanks for the suggestions! I'll be sure to check that site out. Heh, funny reference, Fendi. Thanks again, but don't stop suggesting things!
  10. I'm planning to get parts and build a custom PC centered on gaming (what else? ). If the denizens of this board who have dabbled into this kind of thing would be willing to make some suggestions on what to get (all parts, from mobo to modem, and yes, I need a modem AND NIC), it would be greatly appreciated. I know some of the basics like a GeForce 2 Ultra/MX or even a GF 3, and a AMD T-bird, but I'm wondering about things like the monitor, speakers, sound card, etc. Also a vidcard that includes Video-in/Video-out would be a plus, but not necessary. I'm willing to accept a link to a guide, but if you say PlanetHardware, I'm going to toss ya out the nearest airlock! If anyone even responds, thanks in advance!
  11. I don't know if this helps, but I checked my file sizes of the /anim directory using the DOS dir command, and they were exactly as Rico's were. I got the game from FilePlanet, and the intro movie ends abruptly in the asteroid scene after the fighters have launched with an "invalid command" error, then the games loads as per normal. Hope this helps...
  12. Time for me to stop lurking for a bit. I'm not asking for technical support, I'm just asking a humble question. I understand that this game is unsupported, so I just wanted to know if this "feature" actually is a feature, or if maybe I downloaded the game incorrectly. I've posted this here as I don't want to be banned for asking this in a whole new thread. The thread IS labled "NEWBIE HELP", after all. A curious thing happened when I was playing the free 2.09 BC3k that the SC recently released. After reading the manual, I played the game, and something hit me: I could use the HSD, the ENM was active, I could use the PAD, and I even had Fleet C&C. This was in both Free Flight and ACM, and was WITHOUT, I repeat, WITHOUT installing any cheats, and without finding the artifacts in ACM. I've retested this, and it's the same every time. I searched the forum, but could not find any specifics to this oddity. The only thing I found was that someone mentioned (I think it was the SC) that the game had to be run in debug mode to avoid checking for a CD-ROM. However, I thought that required a "/d" or something tag in the shortcut to do that, and the shortcut doesn't contain any tags. This is really confusing me, as I can't stop this from happening, and I want to play Free Flight without using the ENM and such, as the rest I can just simply not use. The other artifacts (or their abilities) aren't there, either. JAC isn't there roaming around fixing things, and the Life factor stays the same, and the fatigue factor still increases, so no Celestial orb. I can't use the RANDOM, so that's not there. The Karanian Reactor, the Tacyon shield, and the TMCD aren't there, either. So, has anyone else experienced these phenomena with the new free 2.09? Like I said, I'd like to play Free Flight without having to accept the ENM's benefits, and I'd like to be able to find the artifacts for myself in ACM, in order to get their power on my own. SC, all things considered, this is a great game, that I've still only scratched the surface of. As everyone else who reads this board, I can't wait until BC:M and GCO. I honestly wish I had known about this game back when I COULD buy it. Unfortunately, I didn't play many PC games back then, and thus didn't look for news about PC games. I'd be glad to have paid for this game, and I'll be among the first in line to get BC:M and GCO. One other question: Has any work begun on GCO, beyond the conceptual work? When are you going to release the VCF for it, eh? Keep up the good work, and thank you again for making this great game.
