quote: Originally posted by Cmdr Nova: IIRC, anyone in the Fleet DB should be in. This may have changed, so I'll let SC verify this. Thats not true and never has been the case. Being in the fleet DB doesn't guarantee that you'd be invited to play on our official fleet servers. That will be up to me and the respective FCs. My official fleet servers are for role-playing (didn't I already say this?) and/or the occassional free-for-all skirmish. Of course, since anyone can setup their own servers, anyone can join those (unless they are also password protected by the server op).

Halo is very, very good. As for the book, I have it too and Eric would be the best person to write a BCM book too.

I am an Intelligence guy) and really fast too!... lets see here's a little picture and some stats:Hull: 150 Units Shields: 50 Units Speed: 2850 Weapons: 1 IOD Spectre Image I'm unsure whether the image will appear at the link I provided, but take a looksie anyways [ 01-16-2002: Message edited by: Jerold Keenan ] uhm, whats stealthy about those specs?

quote: Originally posted by Wolferz: True... But you can't move it. However, I did experience a small glitch in the early beta testing where I was somehow switched from my CC to the GalCom Station. I still had my bridge view, but the external view was GC HQ. I was thinking, "Oh boy will those Gammies be surprised!" I hyperjumped it out to the Mars gate, but it wouldn't fit through it. LOL It was a wild sight to say the least. hehe, I remember that one. Actually what happened was, in the debug version, you can hit a key combo and you would be placed at the perspective of the target. I use that to test the various dynamics without having to keep quitting and starting the game. You must have hit that combo by accident while you had the station targeted.

quote: Originally posted by bob101x: i have updated my specs, i installed the latest version, of directx, from the cd, and then from microsoft, but the problem is still, there, and i also have the latest version of the driver for my radeon. i also tried switching cd drives( i have 2, a dvd drive and a cdr drive) but still nothing. i also think its not the cd, because, i downloaded the demo, from this site, and it wont run either. i think my windows 98 is missing somthing cause all my friends who have windows xp, it works perfectly. I would strongly urge that your start from scratch. Here's how. And why does your profile not contain the driver revisions for your sound card, mouse, joystick? Apart from that, you have your mouse and joystick swapped around in the profile. Logitech released a new version of Mouseware yesterday btw [ 01-17-2002: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

Pirate, if you don't STOP creating all these frigging topics (I just deleted two) that ALL say the same thing, I'm gonna frigging kill your profile and kick you right off the site. First warning Last warning

ROTFLMAO!!! OMG, that was too funny. All your Shirley are belong to us! LMAO!!!

quote: Originally posted by bob101x: hi when i try to run bcm on my computer, thr cr dom starts reading the disc, but it will not go into the game? i do not know why? please help me for i would really like to play this game? Start by collecting ALL the info about your computer and completing your registration profile with that data. Then go read the FAQ What you describe above indicates either that you do not have DirectX 8.1 installed or that you don't have the latest video drivers for your card. Again, read the FAQ for info on both of these issues.

As I suspected, you are already registered. Check your email and act according the instructions I just sent you.

I don't quite understand what you're asking. But if you're asking why you can't put items in cargo bay #1, manual p39 (top) If you need to know how to access the cargo bays, read p38-39 [ 01-16-2002: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

quote: Originally posted by Fox__Trot: In the alien nations area of the apendix I think I found a mistake or maybe im just wrong That should be Rinaal, not Zelana. I corrected that (according to my records) back in 1994. Weird that the appendix was not updated. Will do that now.

quote: Originally posted by Epsilon 5: I think the review is good. Could have been better, but have been much worse This is my favorite excerpt. I'm laughing so hard, cuz its true. I just KNEW I should'nt have called that file bcmtutorial.html It was meant to be used in concert with the TA scenarios and the manuals. I suppose because it is a tutorial, my idea is that you would use it to get familiar with the game and in a non-hostile environment. So, I should've called it something akin to a familiarity thingie. As soon as you load up a tutorial you receive an instant message. But don't hold your breath; all it does is let you know that you are playing a tutorial. But I guess even the game isn't convinced that you are playing a real tutorial which is why it tries to convince you that you are. Anyway, an official strategy guide (which 3000AD will self-publish) has been contracted out to an author (expect a formal announcement once the contracts are done) is currently in the works. And it will be available in a few months as well as in the BCM Platinum (BCM + XP1 + Strat Guide) Edition due out in the Summer.

quote: Originally posted by Noman from Alloutgames.com: [QB I understand that the graphics thing has been beaten to death, but I can't base a review on what others have said. It would be difficult for me to say "Let's skip the graphics issue, since it's been written about" [/QB] I agree. As for the other stuff pointed out, maybe its just the flow of the wording thats got everyone's knickers in a bunch.

quote: Originally posted by Fox__Trot: Earlyer I asked why AI mandorians can fly stormcarriers and IM not letting it go I wanted to know in the future of playmod or some other editing utility Could I change my ship from a Mandorian *Any ship here* and change it to a stormcarrier? Please say yes please oh please!!! Oh one thing Im running Windows 2000 professional and I cant time elapse in playmod I get the message Playmod has cause an error and will be shut down An error log has been created any ideas? [ 01-16-2002: Message edited by: Fox__Trot ] Changing the asset won't work because you have to create a profile *first* before you can use Playmod to change it. If you want to use any asset, wait for the release of the GBS-II tools and you can change it with one script instruction and in any scenario you wish (including ROAM or ACM) As for elapse_time, it works fine here (just tried it).

quote: Originally posted by Duncan Idaho: SC, Okay, I've shipped a save game/default profile as you asked, and I've also sent the batch file I used to run Playmod. Hope this helps track down the problem, though I'm doing well without Playmod. Hope I followed the instructions, heheh. Idaho Got it. Yep, you followed the instructions. Will let you know once I find time to look into this weekend.
