Yeah I found it. Couldn't delete the question I posted though. Heheh. Thanks for the answer though. Idaho

Tac, Heheh, sorry, I don't know the name, case doesn't sound at all familiar either. Grayfox (and other fellow philosophical thread hijackers), You know, A friend and I were discussing this Death Penalty issue the other day, and he mentioned an episode of Star Trek: Voyager, where in some other planet's legal system, once a criminal is found guilty, the VICTIM, or their family if the victim is dead, picks the punishment. Can't beat that idea, if you ask me. Idaho

Heheh, forget the question below, I found the answer for myself. I have a little question, this seems the place to post it, pardon if I'm wrong. I'm just curious, there are a few members that cannot be 'rated', (at least, it doesn't offer me the option here), was just curious if that's supposed to be, or a quirk? Along with that, some members ratings don't show. Pardon if that's as it should be! Idaho [ 03-07-2002, 14:55: Message edited by: Duncan Idaho ]

I should have known it would be bad. And I just ate. I think I'm gonna be sick now. Idaho [ 03-07-2002, 14:11: Message edited by: Duncan Idaho ]

This fool reports your foolproof pathing works fine now. (Couldn't resist the wording). Idaho

You're the best. Grabbing the new patch, (For the future, I'm actually all set). On second thought, I'll try it, good test, you agree? Idaho [ 03-07-2002, 12:41: Message edited by: Duncan Idaho ]

Okay, SC, Did the proper patch to 1.0.0.6 (full), worked fine, it did delete those files. Uninstalled, deleted BC's folder, and reinstalled. Patched to 1.0.0.7 (full) again, those files remained. So I can confirm that, at least for me, something quirked out on the patch 1.0.0.7 full. I did as you said, created the batch file, ran it, problem solved. (Thanks for posting it up, I'm in the playing mood heheh) Idaho [ 03-07-2002, 11:20: Message edited by: Duncan Idaho ]

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: quote:Originally posted by Duncan Idaho: SC, What about 1.0.0.7 full? Reason I ask: It should do the same thing. I just checked it. Only the 1007_update patch doesn't do this, since the 1006_update already did. This could be one of those obscure OS issues, because I just tried it and it works just fine on my end. If you copy that code above and put it in a .bat file, then execute it from the BCM install folder, it will delete all the irrelevant files. I'm going to look into this some more and see if it is an rtPatch problem. Did you try the 1.0.06 (full) patch to see if it actually deletes these files? I'll be right back, I'll try it. Pretty sure it must have, because I didn't have the problem. I'll check to see that 1.0.0.6 did, then reinstall and see if 1.0.0.7 repeats the problem. Idaho

Flak, LMAO! Well said. Especially that bit about 'torturing them'. This is civilized behavior? Idaho

SC, What about 1.0.0.7 full? Reason I ask: I uninstalled BCM. I then deleted the whole 3000ad folder. I reinstalled BCM. I copied the 1.0.0.7 full patch into the Battlecruiser Millennium folder, then ran it, and it patched fast. I have those files, though. And just found out I have (had) the problem. I went to Genesis for the first time with 1.0.0.7, and it's messed up like the screenshots these two have posted. It's fixed now, but thought I should ask why those files would still be on my PC since I know I patched correctly? Idaho

quote:Originally posted by Vanethian: Al Capone would say: i got my boys and USA President has marines... where's the difference? [/QB]Heh, funny you should mention Al Capone, he died in prison, after twentysome years of incarceration, of syphylus. You have good points, but all things said, not all share those opinions. Again, I'd rather die than spend a life behind bars, so my view is probably different than yours. There's the cost we pay to incarcerate someone for life. That's coming out of my pocket, (and yours too, I'm sure). Criminals get yet another chance to steal from us. And if you think about it, a true 'life sentance' with no parole IS a death penalty of sorts. Only way you're coming out of that prison is in a body bag. (prison breaks not counted). Anyway, again, next Tuesday I might agree with you. It's hard to have a firm opinion on something so weighty. Idaho

Heheh, That's pretty bizzare. I have those files, but don't have the problem. Go figure. Idaho

quote:Originally posted by Vanethian: Hello friends! I'm against death penalty too. Death penalty is something that still bond modern trials to Middle Ages cruelty and later Spanish Holy Inquisition: an illogical ferocity act.Heheh, Hiya Vanethian, Yeah, we humans are SOOO much more civilized today, aren't we? WWF, Bin Laden, Abortion, Abortion Doctor Serial Murderers, School Killings, movies, Somalia, video games, Afganistan (then and now for that one), Tom and Jerry, Israel vs. Palestine, UFO cults, Jim Jones, Waco, OK City, Jeffrey Dalmer, Nanny kills baby, mother leaves baby dead in toilet (dumpster, gas station), Son Of Sam, and that's barely touching the list I think. Hmm...maybe it's not so different today than it was before. Death penalty bad? Well, the potential for mistakes exists. But I'd rather have the guy dead than in prison for life on such a mistake, (That DOES happen). Cheaper for us. Easier for them. But then, I guess that's because I'd rather be dead than in prison for life. I'm NOBODY'S girlfriend. But all points in this issue have merit, I think. On some days, I'd actually agree with you on the death penalty. All in fairness. Idaho

Me too, though the glasses never impressed me much. (Unless you count how impressed I was with their ability to deliver blinding migraine headaches in record time). Idaho

Heheh $iLk, You said it! Me, I'm all for something like the old arena's, with lions, and stuff. Toss them in there, if they win, they get to fight again next week. (Of course, they mustn't be armed, can't have them harming those poor Lions now, can we? Animals have rights!) Forget the WWF, give us the Arena! Idaho

It's a far greater crime to remove a man's (or woman's) freedom. Killing them just sends them back to the beginning of the line. (Well, at least this is what the Hindu's believe). I say just kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out. Please pass the popcorn! Idaho

I did de-install and reinstall to get to patch 1.0.0.7. I did get back there last night, it still happens. But I agree, this problem isn't worth bothering with, it's not in an area of any importance, and since my description did no good, well, I'm staying clear of it. Idaho [ 03-07-2002, 05:27: Message edited by: Duncan Idaho ]

Heheh, maybe it's the 'Sygan Triangle' or something. I tried going back there, (new character, new ship, new patch heheh), but I died in the process. I think it'll be another night of hard play before I can go there and survive. I never saw the base, other than in your screenshots, but I did see the 'hole' effect, where you appear to be beneath the ground, on another level of ground. Pretty darned wierd, and damned hard to explain, for sure. I hope if SC goes there, he sees it right away, so he doesn't think I'm just loony. Idaho [ 03-06-2002, 22:03: Message edited by: Duncan Idaho ]

What's that?

Heheh, I love it when a game can give you a good scare. First game I recall ever really made me jump was Doom. Wolf3D was great, but those Demon's in Doom could make me leap from my seat if I didn't see them in time. If AvP2 can give a good scare like that, I'm in, for sure! Idaho

Sorry to make you work. I didn't get the chance to go look until after the time limit you set, a shame, I know. Again, I probably didn't make this clear in the first post, but it seems to me this isn't very important, since it's in an area you'd be unlikely to go. (Unless you're Xiervier (or me too now) I suppose heheh). Oh, and the base fits in. I was editing that last post when you replied, you might want to recheck it, I mentioned where his 'phantom base' seems to fit into the picture. You might wanna take a bugnor with you when you warp there, to take out the base just south of those coordinates. I didn't have one with me when I went. Idaho [ 03-06-2002, 20:48: Message edited by: Duncan Idaho ]

I got there by looking at Xeirvier's screenshot, and noticing one of them showed the co-ordinates of the particular location he said he was having that problem at. That was the easy part. Apparently, if you destroy the nearby base (Mission Area 80 it says on the mouseover tag, but I'm sure that's wrong), another base appears, or an echo of that base appears, at the coordinates I mentioned. I did not get that far in my search, for I'd already spotted a problem in that location. I only went to try to HELP either by confirming or failing to confirm what he was seeing as a problem. (Dumb move on my part, only got me in trouble again.) Upon getting there, noted the problem I stated. I described it as best I could considering it's baffling nature. The only thing I did differently was I did not destroy the base (at Mission Area 80 by the mouseover tag) as he did, since I noticed a problem right away, which can be reproduced by just walking around at those co-ordinates in first person mode. (Note: I don't think I'd have noticed anything unusual if I hadn't exited my OC at those coordinates, either. Everything seemed fine, until I realized my OC was gone). I'm sorry I annoy you so, I try to help, and just seem to do everything wrong. So for both our sakes, I'll just play the game from now on and stay out of your way. (Cripes, I'm scared of you again). Idaho [ 03-06-2002, 20:40: Message edited by: Duncan Idaho ]

Perfect timing. I was thinking of restarting my characters again anyway. Heheh. Idaho

Heheh, mighty kind of you. I think it's gonna get some use soon. Idaho
