In BCM the planets do orbit the Sun (now a 3D spatial object). They also rotate (which is what gives the day/night cycles) in an orbital plane. If you look in the VCF, you will a description of how to check this using debug mode. You're just not going to see this orbital plane or rotation, by sitting there staring at it.

None. No. Head shots are out. Have you not been paying attention?

What have you been smoking?....uhm, do you have any left?

Actually VE added GCO to the poll pretty late, because the guy who setup the poll, had never heard of GCO. heh. So, by that time, most had already voted for other titles. No big deal really.

Yep, Soback and E5 are right. Its sad really that there are those who come here, *specifically* to cause trouble. Just today, I rejected at least two forum applicants, one of them by that idiot Huffman (he thinks I'm an idiot and won't recognize a domain IP mask) who has made his life's work to libel me. I have to feel special, in a way, since I've seen worse of Clinton, Bush, Gates etc I must be in good company to have my own personal psycho. Go figure. Anyway, if our methods backfire, all we can do is apologize. Not much else. This is OUT peaceful corner of the universe and we sure as hell ain't letting any idiot in. heh, one time, I banned *all* aol.com addresses, in addition to all vanity email addresses.

...hehe, I can't believe this is still going on. Some of this stuff is just plain hilarious. Carry on guys. I'll pick a winner....soon.

ok, now this is getting weird....

....uhm, thats the first time I've heard EB charging for a game that isn't shipping. Perhaps you opted to pay in advance? Anyway, doesn't matter, at least you'll get the 27"x27" galactic poster. [ 09-05-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

Its just you

Read my post again. Then go learn how GBS actually works. Nothing about it works is EVER going to change. Mutator. Yeah right. What do you think this is? Unreal? [ 09-03-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

quote: SC, frankly, there is only ONE THING missing : pure mod suppport : having the mod buttonn on the main menu and being able to the change the way the game works whatever the mission (e.g. change the weapons and play the standard ter/mil acm) There's already an IA button which can be used to do the same thing. quote: What version of 3ds max? Max 2.5 to 3.x are supported. The export plugin does not yet support Max 4

quote: I just copied the system specs out of sysinfo, editing it (not completely) to strip irrelevant information out. Actually, what I meant was, WHAT speed is the PII running at? You didn't indicate that.

LOL -----> TAC Where the hell did you get that? Thats hilarious. Anyway, there are LOTS of utilities for uninstalling DX. Check our downloads page for links to Guru3D, TweakFiles etc.

quote: I thought it was only a wip item... Do you see it in the VCF anymore? Exactly. It adds nothing to the game, so it would've been a waste of time to finish it.

Shadows were not implemented in this version of the graphics engine, for various reasons. Shadows, reflection maps, vertex shaders etc, will be implemented in the next gen version of the engine used for EFC+GCO. They may appear in a BCM patch, I would imagine. A lot of new enhancements are slated for the next gen engine, once BCM ships.

quote: Wrong - you will only be able ot create your own scenarios/campaigns. Wrong - you will be able to create your own scenarios/campaigns, as well as models (ships, weapons etc) AND you can also create your own mission zones on planets, using PTEstudio (which I will release as part of GBS-II) I won't allow the altering of the primary galaxy (for obvious reasons), but you will be able to create small pocket galaxies such as the ones I created for the IA/TA scenarios. Its a piece of cake actually. I will also allow complete modification of weapons data. Want to create an MP5? Sure thing. Go ahead. As long as you can model in Max, you can put anything in BCM using GBSII. This time around, I designed the game for longevity, especially due to multiplayer.

quote: GenuineIntel Pentium® II Processor yeah? And whats that mean then?

Unfortunately, BCM was NOT designed to cater to the lowest common denominator. So, unless you a system which can power it, you won't be able to play it. [ 09-01-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

There will only be 2 ACM (the ported BC3K v2.0x one and a new 15 mission one for BCM) scenarios and both are designed to be played as Terran/Military, though nothing is stopping you from playing them as any race/caste. Plus a bunch of IA scenarios Multiplayer player campaigns are a different story entirely. In ROAM mode, you could play BCM forever and with different race/caste/career combos, so, why waste my time doing ACM scenarios? Besides, GBSII is fairly easier and more straightforward than the previous GBS, so, doing new ACM/IA/TA scenarios, will be easy (for those who invest the time in learning it).

quote: A) BCM's space and planetary engines don't run simultaneously Thats not true quote: because the average computers RAM can't handle it Thats not true either quote: I'm not a programmer so why the heck would I know? ...which is why you should (a) read the resources available to you ( ask the right questions © stop making assumptions

I think I'm a mixture of about five types actually, Xenophobe probably being one of them.

As E5 accurately pointed out, you have a LOT more race/caste/career choices to choose from in BCM. So this won't be a problem.

quote: Thanks for the feedback, but I'd still like to know will interior engine be running simultaneously with the space planetary and flight engine(s)? That was kinda the whole point of my post. It was a blatantly silly question,(especially in light of my dev update) which is why I ignored it. Which part of this simple premise (for as long as you've been here), did you miss exactly? And WHY is it that some of you folks can't get the spelling in the subject CORRECT? I mean, its OK to goof in the post, but for cripes sake, NOT the subject!!! OK, as of today, I hereby decree that any person caught creating a thread with an incorrect spelling in the subject, will be banned for a month and the thread will be deleted on sight. That should take care of that [ 08-30-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

You can do the same thing using /n

You will require nothing short of at least a PIII 500Mhz machine, 128MB RAM and a 32MB graphics card to play BCTC. In fact, that is the minimum specs.
