Soback Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 By the way, EFC comes close to the graphics I like, very smooth and looks like those 3d cartoons do. Still not a movie quality but OOOOH MAN, can't wait to get to the expansions for BCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epsilon 5 Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 WOW! Formidable support from you guys! I'm impressed, he never took that much beating in such a small time!I wonder if he will be able to take it? I wonder even more if he will even dare to reply (I wouldn't be suprised), but if he don't, it's almost admitting to have lost... well from him anyway.

Fendi Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 He probably changed to a different alias after the verbal assaults on him. SC's right he's a waste of time...I'd have a better chance of teaching my 2 year old daughter differential equations than to reason with him.But then again what am I saying.....HIT HIM WHERE IT HURTS!!

Fendi Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 *Stares at pictures and enters dreamland*Ah can't wait to have that box and it's contents to fly through my letterbox and into my lap in the morning of the 17th. Then I will peel the outer plastic packaging very slowly and once done proceed to install the game. Then I will place the box in a safe place so my kid won't get her greasy hands on it.*wakes up from dream*Wait a second I didn't order the game with the box included.

Soback Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 A key sheet. That's great. In BC3000AD I wrote out all the keys on a piece of paper, so this key sheet will make it easier to memorize the keys and I can have it right there at a glance. Nice.

Rico Jansen Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 Even 2.9 b4 didn't solve it. But then I found this in the RAR FAQ from www.rarsoft.com: code:Q: When I download a RAR archive using Netscape Navigator or communicator, the file is corrupt, what's wrong?A: Apache HTTP server erroneously reports the RAR archive type as text/plain and as a result, Netscape Navigator/Communicator treats the file as plain text. To prevent this happening, those webmasters, who use Apache, should create .htaccess file in each directory which has RAR archives and add the following string to it: AddType application/x-rar-compressed rar If .htaccess already exists, this string should be added to the already existing file.IExplorer had no problem. 5 tga's, right?

Urza Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 Do you know where I can get one of those viewers? Oh, and a quick unrelated question that isn't worth a whole new topic: What does FTP stand for? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_wilco Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 FTP= File Transfer Protocol, a way of transfering files(duh) invented in the days of Unix.Btw, you mentioned a CGW article...well, I have a collectors item. It's an April 1994 issue of CGW, and on the cover, in big bold letters, it sayscode: In this issue: Set a course for Battlecruiser: 3000ad!Also reviewed: Frontier: Elite 2 Nomad Arctic Baron... In the actual article, it talks a little about the game, and various things in it. The reviewer made a mistake, confusing flux fields with wormholes. It also shows some screenshots,which depict BC3K, made for a 486/DX. I was 9 years old, but when I saw those screenies, and read what the game was like(despite many references to "StarFlight"), I thought,"OMG!! I have to own this game! It's awesome!!"I REALLY want that proof-of-product demo, but as SC's already told me... quote:It's in my personal collection and not for download. You can get version 1.07 at www.theunderdogs.org Oh well, doesn't matter to me much since I'll get BCM in the mail in a few weeks [ 10-01-2001: Message edited by: R_wilco ][ 10-01-2001: Message edited by: R_wilco ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Põdi Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 Love the box, shame I won't be getting one. Don't want to flatten one out and send it do you SC? . I mean with all those overseas orders, you must have a few thousand spare boxes knocking around eh?

Supreme Cmdr Posted October 1, 2001 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 Paddy, if you checked the BMT link, you will see that you can get a boxed unit. Its $5 more. If you have already placed your order, just sent them email at [email protected] and tell them. They'll just bill you the additional charge. The units aren't shipping yet, so its not late. I had them sent shrink wrapped and some boxed units.[ 10-01-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must mean that its not widely used in browsers, unlike GIF and JPG.Anyway, I have converted the files to JPEG and uploaded it as a 800K zip file. Of course, due to compression schemes, the JPEG files will be blurry - which is why I used TGA files to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fendi Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 I read the article just a few seconds ago. It's a good read but you're right the image (words) is a bit blurry but it's still readable. By the way I like the colour of your SL500.Oh yeah......who's the cute chick in the picture?

Since nobody has been billed, if you have already ordered and you want the boxed version, just send them email with your details and they will bill you at ship time. If you have already pre-ordered, Do NOT re-order or you will be billed for TWO full orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urza Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 My dad's been subscribing to CGW almost as long as they've been around, and he hasn't gotten rid of a single issue yet. (boxes in the attic) Next time I'm home, I'll have to dig up the April '94 issue and see the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
