Heh. I threw away the Tylex sleeve, too. When I was going to log into the RegDB, I realized I hadn't written it down, and searched for it. At least I got to it and found it. If you really lost it, then you're dead (unless you can find it). Because you can't get your serial any other way. If you're trying to get away with an illegal copy, then you're also dead. Welcome aboard, Kadil.

The Episode 1 demo is based on Direct X 7, so your mileage may vary somewhat to that of the full game. Episode 2 is a lot closer (more core improvements, uses DX8), but it's still a long way from showing you the game. Try the E2 Demo. Also, that unlock code stuff was for the beta only... Which is what the demos were based on. Don't worry about those. It's gotta be something with your system. But, I'm going to take a guess, and say that the E2 Demo just might work. Nova, over and out.

LOL!

Add -w1 or -w2 to the end of the shortcut, outside of the quotes. e.g. "C:Program Files3000ADBattlecruiser MillenniumBCM.exe" -w1 The various command line parameters are listed in the Troubleshooting FAQ, at the very end of the page. Nova, over and out.

Well, I'm sorry to say that there hasn't been much RPing with any Droidan & Valkerie people around. Take a look at the appendix, it shows you the names of the highest ranking military officials for each of the Alien Nations. Either way, all races have basically the same pool of ships to choose from. It just depends on your caste. Finally, don't give up Smiley. To my knowledge, you're going to be the first person to RP as a Droidan ever. You'll be setting the standards for the future. Good luck.

Sunanta, so true. Fortunately, I doubt that this will get as far as Laracuente's first heads-up.... And PZY, you can go ask Laracuente what to expect in the next few days.... He's back on the forums finally. This is going to be a great show, folks. However short this may be, the warez subject is going to once again be one of the top topics here...... This may be interesting. Nova steps back from the thread that he knows will be too hot to handle soon... Over and out. [ 12-01-2001: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ]

You know, if it was updated November 1, then it's based on either a Press Copy, a Master Copy, or (the most likely) a bunch of plain and simple sh*t. (The thread here had quite a lengthy discussion on it earlier.) This sorta contradicts this quote: quote:And always remember: we do this just for FUN. We are against any profit or commercialisation of piracy. In fact, we BUY all our own games, as we love originals. And if you like this game, BUY it. We did! What a bunch of laughs. quote:Install Notes: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1) unrar 2) burn the .cue and .bin with CDRWin or Fireburner 3) install game 4) copy crack 5) and then play So what was that "crack" that you're supposed to install after the game installation? I mean, you don't need a CD-Key to install or play the game, until you need one of the newer patches, or multiplayer. So far this looks totally fake. Could you actually download and see the file sizes for these files (SC asked for these last time, on this thread: bcmsetup.ini datalbases.ini pte2ptedefs.ini modelsknife.3d modelstextureskitskins.bmp That should separate the lies from the actual truth. Yes, the truth is out there...... Anyway, I'd love to see someone try to get into multiplayer with a "cracked" copy. Poor fools with warez probably don't know they need the serial number to register on the DB first.

Try the advice of making a Nav point a bit farther than the target. When you come out of HJ, you usually end up around 70km away from target if you're using a Cap Ship. You're probably coming too close to the planet's gravity well (usually around less than 150km), and being pulled planetside. Oh, and Fractux, Melcar, Tac, and to everyone else this may apply to: Read this thread, log into the Reg DB with your serial number you registered with, and get a "System Profile Info" link into your sig, as per SC's instructions. Just spreading the word of warning. Nova, over and out. [ 11-30-2001: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ]

Roger that. Testing: 1, 2, 3! [Edit: And again... I left out the word "info". I'm putting it in, just in case. You know how the SC is. ] [ 11-30-2001: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ]

Heh. If you have the PAD artifact, tapping the trigger lightly works really well. But yes, the foolish enemies end up killing their own station..... "Ter/Ins Destiny destroyed by Ter/Ins Raven"...... And I was already on my way to pressing Alt-D......... If you do an attack, try to get it down as fast as you can, then wait until you're around 1500 HP of Armor, then slowly lower your IOD power using the ";" hotkey. You should be at 10% power by the time it hits 500-600, if it lasts that long. (I've had it blow up at 1300..... Their stupid fighters missed with their missiles. ) If you've got the PAD, then do what I said. It's so much easier than having to guess and see how much power you should blast it with.

I suck right now but I love it. Maybe I should paint a big bullseye on my ship cause I've got a feeling I'm going to feel a little like Custer at little bighorn once I get online with you guys. What's the fastest ship again? Hmmm let me check my binder... ooops .. oh no.. incoming... aaargh. Binder and joystick drop to floor as Cmdr. Oban's ego is shattered in another mind blowing explosion. Is it possible to be a worse commander than this Resnig guy? Bring it on gentlemen. My day will come. Well, welcome aboard, Oban. I'm sure you'll get the hang of things before multiplayer...... And no, it's not possible to be worse than Resnig. At least not to my knowledge.....

So, if I'm picking this up right, then 1 of these little meetings in December, and then we'll have another sometime later. Maybe Jan/Feb, so we can celebrate multiplayer! Alright, who's got the beer? [ 11-29-2001: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ]

Now if ATI could leak some of their supposedly existant WIP good drivers...... Well, I'm reporting in. With the 1.0.02 patch, I've had 1 lockup. That was after 3 hours of play, though, so I'm leaning towards the fact that it's because my system is a POS. (At least I save often. ) No CTD's, and the only other problem I've had is the damage fx glitch, still. But the game's solid now. Great job, SC.

Just scroll (shrink) one of the other groupings to see the rest. --- Zuul, I've just been working from what I've picked up on the forums and throughout the internet. (I don't have an NVidia.)

Don't use leaked drivers of any kind. The only NVidia drivers that are supported at the moment, are the latest official ones; 2183. If you are having problems with leaked drivers, go back to the official ones and try that before coming here.

Read the thread "Explanation of BCM saved game files" at the GBS forum. It'll show you what files are what. If SC asks you for it, then follow those instructions. [ 11-28-2001: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ]

quote:Originally posted by Sadistic: Okay.. I re-d/led the patch 3 out of the 5 times I reinstalled but it's worth another shot. You uninstalled and re-installed the game before you tried to do the patches again, right? And you did run it from the game's directory? And remember. If you uninstall the game to try to do a re-install, backup the save folder (if you have game saves you want to keep), and wipe the whole folder (that means delete the entire Battlecruiser Millennium folder) before you re-install. The patch works for me, so I have no idea what could be your holdup.

If you were in a large cap ship, the HJ Transit time is extremely slow in the beginning and end of a HJ. 5 seconds doesn't bring you very far at that speed. Try it yourself, and watch your distance from something as you start to HJ and come out of HJ in a big cap ship. Takes a while for you to get momentum (depending on how far away target is). So chances are that your exit was close enough to the planet's gravitational pull.

Yeah, I know. I already have all the upgrade-based Artifacts.... It's cool. I still have yet to go to New America, though. Bunnies beware.

Hehe, same here. You can make a Stormcarrier go to 2100+ kps(?), with proper usage of a tow, and using tacops/the command menu. And if SC did make it to deplete more energy while towing, then I'd just rotate the 4 shuttles around.......

Tell me where you're getting that stuff. I'm looking to upgrade or build a new system soon, and need to find a place with decent prices before diving in..........

The SC's current plans and status, are posted here. Over and out.
