I love the details...

By any chance is your mother board chips set made by VIA. Soundblaster cards and VIA dont mix too well. Although saying that, I have both the VIA chip set and the same sound card that you have with windows XP, and so far its stable. Win ME, Win 98 both caused my PC to crash at random though, as well as those nasty cracking noises I get from time to time (it went away with winXP)

To see how many months I can play the game with out getting killed, and basicly take over the whole universe

I know what you mean about the headaches LOL The only way to take away the flicker is to have a monitor with a refresh rate of 100Hz, then its not noticable, but it still strains your eyes a bit. Have you noticed how after you have used them for about 3 hours that you walk around the house noticing that everything is in 3D Yeah I did when I first got them. It was funny driving the car after I had used them all night

Ive done Ju-jitsu for about 7 1/2 years before I switched to Ninjitsu. Personaly I prefer Ninjitsu. Trained with the Bujinkan Dojo also, but I dont think its the same one since I did it in england before I moved here to the USA. It was the BBD (Bujinkan Brian Dojo) lead by Brian Mcarfe (i think I spelt his name wrong). I trained with 5 diffrent instructors back then, traveling around the UK. I learnt more in 2 years of Ninjitsu than I did in 7 years ju-jitsu, so I highly recomend it if you dont mind the pain involved. [ 03-08-2002, 19:24: Message edited by: Roberto ]

Looks like CompUSA have a special on Renagade at the moment. They are knocking 20 bucks off the game, and have it for sale at $30. Not bad huh? Man if i had enough space on my hard drive, I would by it myself

Doesnt that radiate your crew when you stay cloaked for so long??? It should do.

He probably doesnt post very often, which I know I didnt do for a long time after joining. These days I tend to post more than I used to. Man I know I wish I had been picked for the beta team I remember signing up for it, and checking each hour to see if I had been accepted LOL

Sure, no rush. I hear ya when you talk about doing docs though LOL Thats one thing I try to avoid doing at work because all I want to do is get the rest of my work finished and tested before my customers start crying out for their software. Ah the joys of development *sigh*

It sounds more like a 'system' problem than a problem with the game. When posting messages about certain problems and CTDs, please try and reproduce the problem in a "reliable" way before posting about it so that others can reproduce your steps and trace the problem. Thanks...

Personaly, I like Black Ice, now that they have pached up the problem with Windows XP. Its simple, effective, and Ive had no problems yet with it! Well other than the random crashes before the patch came out.

Hmm well 27.42 is working well for me. Fixed a lot of problems with various software (Combat mission being the main one for me with windows XP). I havent had a crash since I started using them, but I still dont see the transparent structures in BCM, which I am hoping that it will be fixed by nvidia soon! But altogether, I personaly prefer this version for both game playing and developing software.

This is the reason why I always look forward to new patches! Great news!! I wonder how it will look with that new feature. Cant wait to see a screen shot of how it will improve the existing stations (hint hint).

I tried a few things, including what was asked. Atempt No 1 Did the steps to the letter and CTD, as mentioned by other above. Atempt No 2 (variation) Didnt launch CC in to space, left it where it was and set the shuttle off to retreve the drones by zooming in to the drones area, and setting the waypoints, sending marines to the shuttles, then launched them. Same CTD after drones were picked up, and the shuttles started to RTB. Atempt No 3 (another variation) This time, I set the waypoints close to the ship, so they didnt travel very far. This DIDNT cause a CTD. Not sure why. Maybe because they didnt venture out of the area, where the ship starts in. Not sure if this helps at all, but I hope it does.

Makes sense though since stations should have their own defences.uhm, stations have defenses. They're called missiles and turrets. Sorry, I meant that they should have extra defences, not just their own. I should have worded that a little better.

Great. Actualy, I havent done any scripting for BC3K in a long long time, only because at the time, my PC was running too slow (its upgraded now). Im really looking forward to trying my hand on the new GBS-II, just to see what ideas I can come up with for BCM. It will be a very nice change from the scripting Im doing at the moment. Cant wait to see it SC

Do scripts have to be defined as missions, or can a script be left running in the background as you roam, so that it is triggered to do something under certain events. Just a few examples... 1.. You write a script to make Galcom launch a ship as a escort when your badly dammaged, so it comes to your aid. Yes. e.g. code:.galcomhq events !damaged player 50 launch military,sunflash,2,escort player broadcast "Sending a pair of Sunflash escorts" endevents 2.. When you aquire a certain artifact, it upsets one of the other races and causes them to turn against you because you have stolen their tech. You can, but it would be complicated. Especially since there is no direct method of detecting the player's cargo contents via a script. You'd have to script a an object (cargopod, ship etc) to have the item. Then use a trigger to determine if the player collects that item. At which point you can then use the MOD_ALLIANCE to set the alliance matrix e.g. say it was a Vesperon pod containing the item, this command would make the Terrans and Vesperons extremely hostile toward each other. e.g. code:mod_alliance terran,vesperon,0 mod_alliance vesperon,terran,0 3.. Entering restriced areas will cause you to be hunted down (ships are launched to intercept you, or spawned from another location). If you know how to actually write a script, you should know the answer to this one. Just a few ideas I had.. [ 02-14-2002, 18:14: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

I agree with most of the posts here when they say that the stations were too easy to destroy. So Im quite pleased about the changes the SC has made. Cant wait to try the new patch out!

If you read various parts of this board, you will notice that you WONT get tech support unless your System profile is in your SIG. If your unsure what I am talking about, then Click here to jump to a forum topic explaining how to do it. This goes for both of you guys. Thanks....

Is GBS II just for space objects? or can you script objects on the planet too? For example, use it to place/create a marine on the ground and make him run a circle... I know that GBS I didnt allow this, which was my main reason for asking, after I saw the comment above regarding the creation of a 'away mission'.

A couple of questions spring to mind... 1.. Your doing it from a saved game, so I am assuming that when you reinstalled, you were still using the same saved game right? 2.. Did you try it from a fresh new game?
