You can also use the mod_racecaste command to alter the default race case of a unit. e.g. this will change the Starpath station from Terran/Military to Gammulan/Military when the scenario starts. You can add it anywhere, but adding it in the God object means that it will be done as soon as the scenario loads. code: [ai] .ghq,100,100,100,100,100,100,1 start orbit blk05z^flx-11,10000,10,90,0 stop events !startup cloak on this invincible on this weapons off this autogen off mod_racecaste starpath gammulan military endevents

OMG!!!! Wait'll you this. It debut during the Super Bowl. I always said that Chris Bale would make the best Batman ever.

Is the Half-Life 2 EULA illegal?

Just make sure that when you send the file, you send in a 100% accurate description of the problem, where you THINK the drones are (planet, moon etc) or the email will be deleted.

GameSport Hardware have an excellent write-up. Man, the waiting is KILLING me. But I got even though. Yesterday I went out and bought a 1GB Samsung YP-T7 MP3 player.

No truer words have been spoken. Well done Loosegoose

Dunno how you missed this thread; especially since its a featured topic.

Nothing you posted made any sense whatsoever. The TAKEOVER command parameters are clearly listed in the GBS docs PDF file. TAKEOVER "source" "target" : This command is used to force the race|caste of the target to be that of the source. It is only used when you want to make the change immediate, instead of - in the case of a station - making an NPC try (and possibly fail) to capture the station. source = the object whose race/caste will be transfered to the target. target = the station being takenover by the source e.g. code: events !startup TAKEOVER myship starpath endevents You can also check the state of the race/caste when either the TAKEOVER or CAPTURE actions are used. e.g. code: events !startup capture galcomhq !level1tick IF FLAG1 galcomhq RETURN IF galcomhq TAKEOVER gammulan military THEN broadcast "GALCOMHQ IS NOW UNDER GAMMULAN MILITARY CONTROL" FLAG1 ON galcomhq ENDIF endevents When a ship actually captures a station (using the CAPTURE command), the TAKEOVER command is automatically called internally in order to transfer the race/caste of the ship to the station.

Everyone needs to just read this. and this Microsoft 812759 bulletin So, I'm going to close this thread now since its just being cluttered with repetition. [ 02-06-2005, 11:24 AM: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

Fine. Send the saved game files to [email protected] If its not a bug, well, you'll see.

Here's the deal, if its a bug and can be reproduced by one of my guys - or myself - then we'll look into it. Considering that n00bs to the game have NO clue what they're doing for the first, oh, six months, I don't usually pay attention to the call of the wolf because its been proven time and time again around here, thats its a bloody waste of time. If you're on the SAME planet or moon as the drone - AND you are within range of it, you will be able to extract it. Its THAT simple.

I hadn't updated previously because the VCF did not indicate that it addressed this topic between RC19 and RC20, and since I have dialup at home, I put off the update. Aside from that, am I stuck with a missing drone? If its not a bug or hasn't been fixed, it won't appear in the VCF. Just because you write it up, doesn't make it a bug until it can be 100% reproduced. Drones don't get lost. They are either destroyed or out of range.

quote: Read this carefully! Pass it all over the world! ! ! There are over six billion people living on our planet. Of that six billion, almost two billion are Muslims. That's roughly a third of the total population of the earth. The earthquake that triggered the killer tsunami was centered just off the coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim country. It was also the most severely devastated by the wave. Nearly 100,000 of the victims of the December 26 catastrophe were Indonesian Muslims. The vast majority of the victims were either Muslims, Buddhists or Hindu. Got all that? Good. Now, to the United Nations. The United Nations consists of 186 countries. The most powerful voting bloc is the fifty-seven Islamic countries that generally vote with one voice, especially when the United States or Israel are voting the other way. The United Nations' head of humanitarian relief, Jan Egeland, criticized the West for being stingy. He didn't specifically mention America, but he cited the exact percentage of the US GDP that is budgeted for foreign aid, so there is little doubt of who the 'stingy West' was, at least in Egeland's mind. Egeland slammed the United States for not raising taxes so that America could give a greater percentage of its GDP to the UN to distribute as part of the UN's foreign aid package. Editorials in the Washington Post, the New York Times and other liberal newspapers echoed Egeland's charge, with the New York Times calling America's $350 million in direct government aid 'miserly'. The United States makes up some six percent of the world's total population, but we pay a quarter of the United Nation's total budget. The United States pays forty percent of the world's total disaster relief aid, and sixty percent of the world's total food donations. The $2.4 billion (that's BILLION) dollars Washington spent in emergency aid in 2003 represented 40 percent of the total amount of emergency assistance from all bilateral donors provided that year. Evidently, that isn't enough. It didn't take long for these same liberal elitists to turn Mother Nature into an American right-wing hater of Islam. Not only had America's imperialistic self-enrichment policies created the natural disaster, but also cold-hearted Muslim hating President Bush wouldn't leave his ranch in Texas... which by the way, is his home -- not a vacation destination -- and only offered a 'stingy' initial monetary donation. While these elitist journalist were assailing President Bush and expounding the mantra that America should be giving more money to the devastated region in a token gesture that would 'show Islam that America didn't hate Muslims', UN Secretary General Kofi Annan was still on his vacation skiing in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He returned to New York four days later. The wave struck on Sunday, and it took only until Monday before the US announced its $350 million in initial aid, sent the USS Abraham Lincoln into the region, including helicopters, and C-130 transport planes, sent hundreds of tons of pre-packaged emergency aid supplies, and deployed some 14,000 American troops to help with the recovery and cleanup. In Indonesia, U.S. helicopters flew at least 30 sorties, delivering 60,000 pounds of water and supplies, from the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln along a 120-mile stretch of Sumatra island's ravaged coastline. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, the richest nations in the Islamic world, donated a paltry $10 million each. The United Arab Emirates donated some $20 million to relieve the suffering of their Islamic 'brothers'. Egypt's contribution at the time of this writing is $104,000.00. (Note: Egypt gets $2 BILLION in US foreign aid annually) And did anybody notice that the majority of the private donations came from those evil corporate types the left so loves to loathe? Pfizer donated $10 million in cash and $25 million in drugs. (That is more than oil-rich Saudi Arabia and Kuwait combined). General Motors pledged $2 million in cash, agreed to match employee donations dollar for dollar, and is sending vehicles to transport food and medical supplies to the region. Other corporate donors include Nike Inc., American Express, General Electric, First Data Corp., Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Exxon-Mobil, Citigroup, Marriott International and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. On the other hand, where are all the Hollywood liberals? Activist actors such as Ben Affleck, Susan Sarandon, Al Franken, Tim Robbins, Martin Sheen, and Barbra Streisand have not been heard from. And where is George Soros, the world richest left wing liberal? Actress Sandra Bullock donated one million dollars, but Bullock is neither an activist nor a liberal. (She also donated one million following September 11.) Super-rich liberals like Bono and Bruce Springsteen are promising to hold another 'aid concert' to collect money (not theirs) for the victims. America, as noted at the outset, represents six percent of the global population. But in any catastrophe, it gets one hundred percent of the blame. The UN's nose is out of joint because the Bush administration refuses to funnel its aid through the UN's various aid agencies. Kofi Annan wants to use the catastrophe to shore up the UN's sagging image in the wake of the Oil-For-Food thefts from Iraq. The United States wants to ensure the aid doesn't end up lining the pockets of UN officials. So the US is 'too stingy' and gets another black eye. Where is the rest of the Islamic world? There are fifty-seven Islamic nations, and the world's biggest Islamic nation is the one that took the hardest hit. But it is the United States -- the world's largest donor nation -- that is grabbing all the headlines for being 'stingy'. To put things in perspective, I saw a news photo yesterday of one of the Indonesian victims. He was wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the face of Osama bin Laden.

OMG!! Wait'll you see this!!! Nintendo is so screwed. I, for one, have no intentions of getting a DS.

At least according to CNN So far, no Bond actor has been named. I hope it goes to Clive Owens because I think he'll make a kick-ass Bond! So who do you guys think should be the next Bond?
