Thats part of the nVidia driver set. Nothing I can do about it. Sorry. Locate stable Visiontek drivers and find the ones which work. I suppose you've checked your BIOS settings according to the FAQ as well, right? [ 11-21-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

oops! Wrong file name. Here's the fix (which will also be in the patch) Look in the PTE2STETEX folder for PTYPE14.TGA. Just copy* it to PTYPE014.TGA. Try that. *I didn't say to rename it, I said copy it so that you have both PTYPE14.TGA and PTYPE014.TGA files in that folder.

OK, I'll check it out in a bit and get back to you.

What happens if you play a Roam scenario and just jump to Pluto normally? ps: This is a no flames board. So, I won't worry about that if I were you. Just use a descriptive subject and provide as much info as possible and you'll be fine. [ 11-21-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

2250 drivers? Are you kidding me?

Good call. I should probably add this to the FAQ when I get the chance.

Don't change resolution while in the game. Do it from the main menu. That was easy now, wasn't it? Manual p5 [ 11-21-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

Damnit!!! Here I was expecting JJ any minute now.

Unfortunately not. Those frontend systems (Navitron, Tactical, Logistix etc) are designed and hardcoded that way. They are computer sub-systems, similar to the NID, TACSCAN etc. They will only fill the screen at the default res of 640x480 and scaling any higher would be a major re-write, not to mention content creation. Sorry.

aw shucks. I forgot about that. But thats a MAJOR problem which won't happen in this first patch. For now, the ability to remap keys will be disabled in the first patch. A future patch will have it put back in once all possible holes are tested and resolved.

Take those gameplay comments OUT OF THIS THREAD and create a new one I just created.

hehe, I know whose first to post in here.

Fer crying out loud, don't burn the place down. And you, get off that table!! Jaguar, please put that fly swatter away, its amnesty week for newbies. OK, be back in a few hours. Behave while am gone or I will remove all those freebies in the upcoming patch.

For me each one is needed to run something else that demands different things or produces some other weird error. Don't kill the new guy Nah, its OK. Its amnesty week for newbies.

quote: Originally posted by Croy: (thinking out loud here)...wouldnt it make more sense to default to the reverse?I say this because the current controls (roll with LEFT/RIGHT, yaw with TWIST) are more suited to air flight (IMHO). I know BCM supports both air and flight (COOL!), but being that we are flying spacecraft, yaw with LEFT/RIGHT roll with TWIST, would be more intuitive. Just food for thought. I guess I can remap the fuctions via the JS control panel. I guess I can also keep my lousy opinions to myself. hehe Croy No If you had any idea how many food fights we had in the Beta forum over this, you'll know why I don't plan on changing it.

Works fine here. Can you run it in a window (/w1) and then post the exact message? Also, what game options did you choose? e.g. race, caste, career, launch station etc. I need COMPLETE info. [ 11-21-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

LOL!!!

The upcoming patch will disable the ability to chose a scenario unless you are playing the Commander career.

Topic moved since its not tech support related.

Then is must be because it was developed using DX 8 SDK and not 8.1. As far as we're aware, those two problems have always been in there, since DX 7 (E1 demo). In fact, Andy Mahood who did the review for PC Gamer, has that card and he had the same problems. Are you also getting the White weapon when you fire it, say the ZS10 in fp mode? He did, until he used the commandline option (see the FAQ) to disable the ground plane rendering. I will ask Andrei to see if we can come up with a hack to solve this on those cards, but the chances are *very* slim.

Its not a bug. The default for L/R is to roll if you are flying in the air or in space. I probably should've added this description in the keyboard sheet. Will to that during the re-print. And for sticks without a twist axis, CTRL+J reverses that. Note that if you are ON the ground terrain (or in a vehicle), it will default to Yaw, regardless.

quote: Originally posted by Roberto: Yup your right. I still would have expected some message telling me that the campain isnt available, instead of dropping me back to the desktop. But yes, that was my fault for not taking more time over the manual. Sorry guys. True, but that error shouldn't even occur. I will investigate right now. And no need to apologize. But you've used up your free spanking card though. [ 11-21-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

The playback of user created MP3s is NOT supported. This is clearly indicated in the FAQ - which also lists some rules for using your own MP3s.

Never. Can't fix driver problems. Read the FAQ.

If there's nothing to mine...well then pick another planet or moon What page of the manual? IIRC, I didn't add any such section in the manual. Are you talking about the HTML tutorial? If so, I just checked it and it looks fine. Whats missing? You can find out where you are on the planet by (1) using the NID/MAP mode (2) Using the NID/NIR mode (3) Using Tacops/ZoomTo and selecting your craft from it. Hope this helps. Yes, the game is massively and intimidating, but it takes practice. Just remember, the manual is your friend. [ 11-21-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]
