UC has a variety of advanced new gaming options which surpass anything done in previous Battlecruiser games. So, what feature are you most looking forward to?

GBS3 (unsupported!) will either be included on the UC game CDROM or be available for download shortly after release. You can do pretty much everything you could in previous GBS versions and it also includes plugins from MAX 2 to 5 for exporting models to the .3D format. Depending on the sales of the game, I may spend time creating an export plugin for the freeware Milkshape3D modeling tool. ...in other news, I am talking with Caligari about supporting their GameSpace extensions. This is a cheaper alternative to MAX and more professional (and with more options) than MilkShape3D. [ 12-01-2003, 02:10 PM: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

He posted more garbage on the DC forum. I'm done with this troll. heh, I rest my case. We've got so much experience, we can smell these stupid tits a mile away. In this case, Pugwash caught a whiff first.

I replied with anwsers to the best of my knowledge and tried to take the high road. Lets see what happens. If he just wants to turn it into a pissing contest then I'll tune him out. You know that wanker is a troll, don't you? Did you read his statements about BCMG multiplayer? Particularly the bit about 64 person multiplayer? Clearly he has no clue what he's talking about and he's just baiting and fishing you guys. Don't fall for it.

ok really, just how stupid is this?

Interesting

heh

Until 20 mins ago, I didn't even know this site existed. Its not in the webring; its not displaying any of my copyright informations etc etc. Jaguar, isn't that supposed to be your task (of keeping track of this stuff for compliance?)

LOL!!!

LOL!

so, uhm, how does a sound fix relate to your not being able to see your support units on the planet? I'm so confused.

I missed the Spindoktor post. Yeah, Spindocktor originally had Takvar's post here quoted in his response. Thats the part that Brian edited out quite possibly in order to avert a problem. Naturally - as is to be expected - that didn't work. Brian (the UC product manager at DC) has a higher threshold for rubbish than I do and he's a pretty fair (no question there) guy. As such, I'm not in the least bit surprised by the edited/deleted posts. Though I think (I just fired off an email to him) he probably misunderstood my reference to one sided at the beginning of my post (the one he let stand). I was refering to gits (like Takvar) who come to this board, try to misbehave, can't; try to insult someone, can't, then go over to the DC forum and try to do it there. Then cry foul when they get banned on our end. Thats the thing, that twit knew that he couldn't pull that stunt here, so he goes and tries to twist/distort the whole thing by creating a seemingly innocent (which only an idiot won't see through) thread. In fact, the posts which Brian deleted (Takvar's and mine) were related to him claiming that I was lying about what I stated in my earlier post. So I simply edited my original post to include the links to this thread (because I didn't want to disrespect Brian by posting the excerpt Spindokter had, as well as the ICQ messages) and then I edited this thread and posted the ICQ messages. So, I clearly wasn't lying about what he had done, he [Takvar] just foolishly assumed that with Spindoktor's post edited, there was no proof of what he had done here and how all this started. This is what they do and its the oldest trick in the book. They either (a) come here, read something, take it out of context, then run off and post elsewhere (e.g. Usenet) ....oh look what Derek Smart said to a customer!! or ( they create a seemingly innocent alias and try to pull the same stunt that Takvar just tried to pull in order to come off as being victimized. Then they try to see if they can make enough of a furor in order to get the publisher involved (remember when they used to try that stunt - and failed - back when I had just signed BC3K 2.0 with Interplay in 1998?) and on their side. They forget one thing, and that is that the publisher reps KNOW what goes on out here on the Net. Why these stupid gits assume that they don't and that they can pull a fast one by trying to put me on the firing line (heh, like I give a toss), is just the stuff that stupidity is made of. Stupid gits

oh man (get it?), look what the cat dragged in!! Where've you been???

And below is the first post/thread that Pugwash deleted and which Spindoktor had in his (now edited) post on the DC forum. Draw your own conclusions. quote: Originally posted by Takvah: Title : Got antsy waiting.... for UC to come out, so I went and downloaded the demo for BCM. The deal is it won't even load. I am figuring this is because it's 2.5 years old and probably not really up with my nVIDIA Forceware drivers etc. My question is, are there any patches for the demo that are available? I KNOW IT SAYS UNSUPPORTED, I am asking YOU if there was ever an update done that I might have missed. I have been up and down this site and I have sucked up what info I can INCLUDING the hostile nature of replies to questions like this. Oh and since this is such a hostile environment I will give you fair warning, if you want to come back with some smart or witty reparte be prepared to get a dose from me. Some of you will fast learn that just like the rest of you pigs I don't mind getting down in the mud... as a matter of fact sometimes I downright enjoy it. Answer the question if you know and if you don't TRY to control your senseless urges to hurl insults. Beyond answering my question I have no interest in hearing your opinions and/or commentary on how lame this post is. *Snickers* Thanks Tak And here are just two of the ICQ messages that I received from him. quote: [12:15] 3756744: Twit? I cannot help but be touched. Honestly beyond thinking your attitude sucks and the attitude of the little assclowns that worship at your feet my comments never went beyond how you handle your forums and questions by players. Did you READ my posts? Maybe you have a problem with comprehension that is aggravated by paranoia? Also, I only posted once as Takvah so you likely banned someone legit... just FYI [Offline Message (11/27/2003 [5:14])] [12:15] 3756744: Also with regard to the DC forum they tossed off a nasty reply by one of your pleebs not my well stated original comment. We live in Florida dude, you should learn to enjoy the beach in the morning it will really set you straight for the rest of the day... and don't tell me you dont have the time... you're a forum troll, you can make the time.

I posted this over on this DC thread. I suspect that it might get deleted, so I'm posting it here as well. quote: Against my better judgement, this is where I get to butt in because I am NOT going to stand by and tolerate this one sided rubbish that seems to be going on here. And stuff like this is primarily the reason I stopped posting here because its going to be too easy to have some disruptors get the general idea that they can influence what I say/do one way or another by - at the very least - sticking a wedge between me and my publisher. Those people who even think this, clearly know NOTHING about me. Nothing about all. Fact is simple. People like Takvah feel that because they purely CANNOT come to MY forum and disrupt it, that they can come and do it here, while taking the opportunity to insult and harrass us HERE - since they can't do it THERE. It is people like you that caused us to have such a heavy handed approach on our boards. Your [Takvah] very first post on the board (which Spindoktor posted and which Brian edited out of said post) was an insulting one. As a result you were banned. Then you created yet another alias, did the same thing and called me names. That caused one of the moderators to (a) delete the thread (http://www.3000ad.com/forum/uploads/emoticons/default_cool.png' alt='B)'> ban you © and me to reconfigure the board to one again require moderator approval in order for someone to post there. I had removed such restrictions back when UC was announced in order to encourage n00bs to post, since them not owning UC or a previous BC title, meant not having a game CDKEY with which to register. As if that wasn't enough, just five minutes ago, I have been subjected to the same insulting rhetoric from you via ICQ - thus causing me to add your ICQ UIN to an ignore list. Then I check my board PMs and I get a littany of messages about your postings here. Let me explain something to you. You can do whatever the hell you like HERE. I don't care. Its not my board and I have NO vested interest in it. DC can run the board as they see fit and if they're going to allow people like you to ruin it, insult us, take potshots etc, thats their prerogative. But while you're at it, understand some things - and pay attention here : 1. Dreamcatcher does NOT own this game nor the IP. I own it 100%. What I say, goes. Pure and simple. 2. Dreamcatcher did NOT develop this game and had NO part in its development. 3. Dreamcatcher's involvement is purely as a publisher role with a license to market and sell MY properties. 4. Dreamcatcher cannot issue nor develop patches. The extent of their role is in identifying issues and passing them along to me. They're a buffer between you and my team where this aspect is concerned. As such, patches will be available on my site, all over the net and on the Dreamcatcher servers (if they post them). As as result of all this, you stand VERY LITTLE chance of getting ANY assistance about this game (or any game) without going to the DEVELOPER'S site. At the end of the day (as is evidenced by other game posts here), there is a 99.9% chance that ANYTHING assistance you require about ANY of my games, will either come directly from my site or linked to it. So, don't kid yourself there. If its about MY GAMES, then ANY and EVERYTHING related to it, is coming from either myself, one of my crew or gamers. This stuff doesn't come out of thin air. Going to our website is a PRIVILEDGE and not a RIGHT. You have the right to patches. Go download them. You do NOT have a right to post on our boards, nor to insult us and/or misbehave as you see fit. This action - as you might be aware - will ALWAYS be met with the stiffest of resistance where a TAKE NO PRISONER approach works best. NO EXCEPTIONS. 5. There is a GOOD reason why our board is clean, clear and naked. We simply DO NOT CARE about the opinions of anarchists, anti-social misfits and the like; who think that the Net is their frigging backyard to do as they please. We have a VERY HEAVY HANDED approach to moderation on our game board and thats why, unlike most gaming boards, ours is informative and the like. Our game is military based and we try to maintain the same level of discipline wherever possible. We have a VERY LOW TOLERANCE threshold for nonsense. If you can't stand it, DON'T COME THERE. Nothing could be SIMPLER than that. 6. The average BC gamer is a dedicated one, regardless of age, race or gender and even with that, it takes a certain level of DISCIPLINE and CONTROL to stick to games such as this. Your behavior and that of some other n00bs with behavior similar to yours, is a direct result of what happens when you switch the focus of a product from one demographic to another. Its not always a good thing - but publishers like Dreamcatcher, don't care about that. For them - and rightfully so - its about money and moving boxes. For us - especially me personally - it goes beyond that and I'm NEVER going to allow some frigging idiot to come into MY HOUSE and disrupt it simply because they forked out $40 for a game. Thats just NOT going to happen. EVER. The only choice you - and others like you - have in this is you either LIVE WITH IT OR YOU DON'T. So, do whatever you want HERE. But keep it HERE. And know this, my publisher has NO control over me. NONE WHATSOEVER. Bear that in mind when you come here crying foul because you had your tiny leetle ego hurt.

Sad but true. Thats the reality of game development. I mean, just think, they [publishers] made (well they suggested it and the writing was alredy on the wall) me change the name and focus of a BC game. Thats the industry - and its not getting any better. Have you guys seen/heard what they did with LOMAC? They didn't even ship it with a worthy manual, keyboard sheet or anything. They just shoved it in a box and shoved it out the door. Hence the reason behind http://www.lomac-manual.com/

Earlier today, Pugwash killed a thread posted by some twit (Takvah) who is now spewing his rubbish over on the DC boards. Naturally, he subsequently got banned. About five minutes ago, I just deleted yet another thread by the same twit (under a different alias), calling me names. I deleted the thread, banned his IP etc. Given this, I have reconfigured the board so that approvals are once again required for all new posters. Thats the end of that I think.
