The questions are slanted IMO. My result: Economic Left/Right: 7.63 Authoritarian/Libertarian: 1.79 Guess that makes me a capitalist TTFN

All of the music in BCM is good IMO. If ye doesn't like it, then put your own mp3 music score in the (BCM install directory)soundfxmusic folder and enjoy DeD implementation to your fav jams I used a combination of Pink Floyd, Metallica, AC/DC, and other jammin' jams to enhance my BCM enjoyment TTFN

You folks might want to look at the appendix with a tad bit more in detail. Just because a cap ship has 12 turrets does not mean sqat. There are several deciding factors when one selects their CC - aside from raw firepower that is. [*] HJ Transit time [*] HJ recharge time Just to name a few A Solnar could take out any CC - all one has to do is wait for the target's HJ to complete. There is a small window of opportunity available to the cmdr that can take advantage of this MP cometh - beware TTFN [ 11-08-2001: Message edited by: Gallion ]

hehehe ... I feel your pain Joaquin Like you and the SC stated, I to get a case of the dufus when I stare at a script to long quote:Which reminds me, I may as well start working on the new GBSII docs. I will be releasing GBSII with BCStudio, PTEstudio etc. and with a lot of samples on scripting, moding etc. Yes TTFN [ 11-06-2001: Message edited by: Gallion ]

The SC pointed out one major script error and I think I found the other one Joaquin. Always place events that effect an actor in that actor's [ai] events block. There are several minor ones - mostly script organization - left that should not hamper gameplay. Since you are familiar with various programming techniques Joaquin, I am sure that you can understand the need to organize and document your script. I start with one script, the main one, that sets up the game universe and then calls other script files for each ACM TOD. This makes troubleshooting and corrections alot easier My main script: code:# SCRIPT BC3K0500.SCR # NAME Gallion # EMAIL [email protected] # WEB # DATE 12 NOV 00 # NEW OBJECTS NONE # NEW WORLD NONE # NEW SOUNDS NONE # VERSION Uses BC3K v2.09; Script v1.0 # # SCENARIO: This is an Insurgent Advanced Campaign Module. # Much of this scenario is taken from the original ACM # written by Derek Smart, Creator of BC3000AD. # # SYSTEM SCRIPT - FREE FLIGHT SCENARIO (INSURGENT) # # This script is used for the Insugent Advanced Campaign Mode. # # In this mode, the player launches from Galcom HQ in the Insurgent caste. # Script files used: BC3K0500.scr; iacmtod1.scr; iacmtod2.scr; iacmtod3.scr; # iacmtod4.scr; iacmtod5.scr; and BC3K0500.des # # #include glob_rg.scr [dynamic] #include glob_dyn.scr # [ai] #include glob_ai.scr #include glob_ag.scr # [dynamic] galaxian diplomat,,ghq,probe1.3dc,satcom [ai] # .ghq,100,100,100,100,100,100,1 face KARL.PCX start orbit blk05z^flx-11,1000,10,90,0 stop events !startup cloak on this autogen ON invincible on this mod_alliance terran,vesperon,0 mod_alliance vesperon,terran,0 mod_alliance empirian,vesperon,0 mod_alliance vesperon,empirian,0 set_career insurgent endevents # #acm_skip_enable ON #include iacmtod1.scr #include iacmtod2.scr #include iacmtod3.scr #include iacmtod4.scr #include iacmtod5.scr $ Here is an excerpt from one of my ACM TOD files; IACMTOD2.SCR: code:# INSURGENT ADVANCED CAMPAIGN MODE # INSURGENT TOD2 4/5 # ARTIFACTS: NONE # # TOD2 4/5 # [acm] CAMPAIGN MODE: TOD2 M4/5 THEATRE OF OPS: CENTRIS/ALPHA CENTAURI MISSION CLASS: STATION CAPTURE SUCCESS: CAPTURE EARTHCOM STATION SCIDHQ .

The SC added this to the mission statement way back in the BC3K v2.03 patch - I think Why? Because certain whinners were doing the BMC 'cause they couldn't figure out how to get a mission success. IOW they were to lazy to figure out, on their own, how to successfully complete a mission. Anyway, the docs that come with BC3K GBS give several good examples on how to format one's script. That is the example, along with the ACM acripts that came with BC3K, that I use when I script. Another thing to remember, as you have experienced, just because a script parses without any errors does not necessarily mean that the script will play correctly. Include the parsing error message, along with the script that causes the error the next time you're stumped. Enjoy and Welcome to My Nightmare TTFN [ 11-06-2001: Message edited by: Gallion ]
