Now now Chris, don't worry, we're just gonna take you to the place all the other people go when they question Insurgent One.. *fumbles with the airlock controls, only to notice a hanging sign above saying "Occupied"* Damn! Oh well, a little kissing time with Mr. Reactor will make ya feel better... ------------------ Parias ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at HardNews "I took this job because I just really love to blow sh*t up!"

If Lum is among the crew, you'll need at LEAST 1,000 Vagrants to keep me a good distance away.. ------------------ Parias ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at HardNews "I took this job because I just really love to blow sh*t up!"

Well, assuming that by some freak chance I WAS offered the job (yea right), I'd have to decline.. living on a hunk of rock isn't my idea of paradise ------------------ Parias ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at HardNews "I took this job because I just really love to blow sh*t up!"

Seabass, I noticed this is your first post.. are you running the latest version? ------------------ Parias ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at HardNews "I took this job because I just really love to blow sh*t up!"

Well think about it. When you overclock, you're exceeding the natural specs of your hardware, and when that happens, all sorts of unpredictable crap can happen. And this isn't just a matter of BC3k, almost _ALL_ of the tech support for games out there will tell you to stop overclocking first thing if you're having problems. Think of it as hacking into the code of the game to get a few more FPS. It might work, it might not, but you sure as hell aren't gonna get any support for it ------------------ Parias ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at HardNews "I took this job because I just really love to blow sh*t up!"

...huh? ------------------ Parias ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at HardNews "I took this job because I just really love to blow sh*t up!"

Gerry, I'm going to explain this as calmly as possible. Writing in all-caps is the same as screaming when you're typing over the internet. It's pretty rude, and uncalled for. If you're not intending to come across as screaming, then I suggest not typing in all caps in your next post. quote:I WAS TOLD TO SHUT OFF CAPS LOCK, I DID BUT I STILL GET A MISSION FALIURE. Oh man, I'm not going to touch that one with a 10 foot pole. I'd probably break down laughing. Actually, since I'm in a good mood, I guess I'll try. When you were told to turn off caps, the guy meant to do it WHEN YOU POSTED. As I said above, typing in all caps is the same as screaming. So please, take a chill-pill, calm down, and then maybe we'll help you out. ------------------ Parias ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at HardNews "I took this job because I just really love to blow sh*t up!"

Well, I DO still have a post that I spent 2 hours working on sitting on my HD waiting to be posted.. *shrugs* If you're up to it, then I'll follow suit. ------------------ Parias ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at HardNews "I took this job because I just really love to blow sh*t up!"

Might I inquire as to just what he should edit it to? I don't mean to adopt a bi*chy attitude or anything, but we've pretty much planned out our whole storyline based on what we've got from the start, and I can't think of any way that we could change it without compromising the point to writing this in the first place. Our whole point was, as I said above, mixing-n-matching universes to see how it'd work out. Every writer's dream (or at least mine anyways, who else out there has wanted to see Star-Trek meets Star-Wars, or Freespace 2 meets Bc3k, for example?). Also, from the posts above, and the fact that this never got any real negative responses 'till now, we both thought it would be AOK to go ahead with this, and as thus I spent a good couple of hours just a short time ago preparing my reply, only to come onto the forums and see your post. Really, I don't mean to sound negative or anything, but could there have been a way for you to tell us before we got started? We were pretty clear on what we were going to do in our above posts. Thanks, and once again I don't mean to sound negative, I guess I'm just a bit disappointed at the moment. ------------------ Parias ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at www.tacticalplanet.com "I took this job because I love to blow sh*t up!"

This is probably a good time to explain the character I'll be introducing as well. So if you have any comments, speak now, or forever hold your peace... or something. Thanks to Parias' interesting.. er.. "background".. I'll be taking control of a female character named Cygni. She has green hair (that earns her some unwanted stares), has some good combat experience and a "Don't screw with me or I'll cap you in the head" attitude (minor exaggeration), and has just recently joined up with the Insurgency (as recently as could be expected with her still having command of her own ship, she's just completed the training and whatnot and has begun command of her own battlecruiser). We're planning on having her as Maxwell's first contact with the Insurgency, although if someone else wants that honor, speak up and I'll have the two meet at another point. Oh and as I said, she has a "Don't screw with me" attitude, but don't worry, I'll keep the swearing within acceptable levels So if nobody else has any comments on this.. I guess we'll get started! ------------------ Parias ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at www.tacticalplanet.com "I took this job because I love to blow sh*t up!"

Alright, I've been discussing with Rob on what we're gonna put down, and here's where I have a few questions for you guys. Basically we will be introducing a character and a ship from a different time period. The storyline will deal with a time-traveller and his ship, The Glory. Now here's where our question lies.. would it be ok to introduce this sort of thing? Note that we're planning on nuking the ship at an early point of the story, and it won't have any exotic tech on-board that would interfere with the BC3k universe, aside from a time-travel device, which is the main reason we're probably gonna nuke the ship. So are you guys ok with the mix-n-match universe thing here? As I said, we'll only be introducing one character from another time and one ship which we'll make vanish early on. Just wanted to run this past you guys before we started and got flamed to death by stick-waving RP'ers And this probably won't be from any universe you've heard of, it's a completely fictional one that the guy created on his own. So don't expect us to shove the Enterprise in there or something ------------------ Parias ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at www.tacticalplanet.com "I took this job because I love to blow sh*t up!"

Hell no, we're just planning on introducing a couple of new characters and setting up our own little storyline. So it's cool with everyone else then? I guess we'll get started! Rob will start us off, I'll go tell him now. ------------------ Parias ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at www.tacticalplanet.com "I took this job because I love to blow sh*t up!"

Just to let everyone know, I've talked with Robert about this over ICQ before-hand, and since we're both pretty green to the RP areas (although I'm busy reading through "Preemptive Strike" as I speak) I told him to make this post to confirm it was alright, since I can clearly remember the way a few of my past threads went So if you've got any tips or comments before we get started, post em here. We're planning on going pretty deep, even if it's just the two of us posting, and hopefully we'll be able to create something you guys will enjoy reading (I've gone over some of his other material, it's good stuff, and I myself am working on a bunch of RP threads on an anime fan-forum). ------------------ Parias ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at www.tacticalplanet.com "I took this job because I love to blow sh*t up!"

Ouch! *cringes in horror* The solution is simple my friend: Download the file marked "Playmod" and unzip it into your BC3k folder. Without this spiffy little program, your cheating heart will not be satisfied! Hope this helps ------------------ Parias ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at www.tacticalplanet.com "I took this job because I love to blow sh*t up!"

Ouch! Ok, right click on My Computer and go to Properties, then click on the Device Manager tab. It'll give you a list of all the stuff Windows has detected on your system. Scroll down the list and tell me if there are any conflicts shown. ------------------ Parias ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at www.tacticalplanet.com "I took this job because I love to blow sh*t up!"

I'd say trying to haul that 3dfx card in and get it replaced. I once had a problem with every single game on my PC giving me a crash after a given amount of time, but I had no clue as to why. After 6 months of working through it, I finally found out it was the AMD K-6 processor that was recently put causing my grief.. it was faulty. Replaced er with an Intel, worked fine. So see if you can get the 3dfx card replaced, and that _should_ make your problem go away. ------------------ Parias ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at www.tacticalplanet.com "I took this job because I love to blow sh*t up!"

Thanks for moving it. It sounds like an icky issue with one of your vid cards.. you're running in 3dfx mode I'd assume? Try running in software, if the same problem shows up, then chances are your 3dfx card is fux0red. Are you trying overclocking or anything like that? Chances are the card is dying, dead, or just sick. ------------------ Parias ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at www.tacticalplanet.com "I took this job because I love to blow sh*t up!"

Well, can you imagine what would happen if we were all forced to pack up, re-format our hard drives, and install a whole new operating system? -Hell for developers -Gamers messing themselves over the fact that the new OS probably doesn't have MS Plus -90% of current apps and games probably won't run on it Etc, etc Hell, we could all end up with Macintoshes, and if we do, god forgive me for the rampage I'll end up going on if I have to play Half-Life at 5 FPS at 320x200... especially considering how I just blew $2100 on a whole new comp with a brand-spankin new 17' monitor.. ------------------ Parias ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at www.tacticalplanet.com "I took this job because I love to blow sh*t up!" err, family site and all Parias.
