i never been shot by a cloakd ship is this very rare or do you have to play for a while?

he means the gammulan station and yes it does seem to be better defended last time i checked it had higher shielding and more pta turrets and it looks like it has engines to..

linux is not a gamming platform it was origionaly unix which was a (server) os, i dont get why poeple try to play games on os's that were never designd to run them, linux is designd for database etc the only version of linux which is even remotely geard towards graphics is irix, and you need a sgi system to run it, further more the win drivers are more optimised then the unix counter parts, now lokis closeing just showed us all how good linux is with games, besides i dont think you would want a developer getting forced to make a game work on two operateing systems not only would it take longer the quality of the game would generaly be lower because he has to worry about a morrid list of issues, im not flameing unix just i beleave it should what it was designd to do be a server!

er started from galcom hq ter/mil aerostorm, been makeing my way to gamma1 and 2, destorying all neutral/hostil stations on my way there, im about 4 days into my game, once the two gamma homeworlds are destroyed im going to go back and ots all the ground stations, by then i should have the entire gamulan fleet after me, once i whipe out the entire gamulan fleet <-yeah right, im gonna go after the smaller hostile races. er and dread i cant wait to kick your gammee but in multiplayer trying to random earth <-evil grin [ 02-09-2002, 20:50: Message edited by: xierxior ]

it wouldnt matter if someone maned them because they would probly be less acourate and even if they were more acourate, they still wouldnt inflict enough damage, the pta system scrape my ship til i get intside their fireing range, youd figure the stations are so large theyd have the mother of all pta systems, i know id be scared of docking at a station in multiplayer.

if the stations had more powerfull/longer ranged pta systems that would really help i wanna hear hull breach by the time i get within their fireing range, the firestorm can even take out a station by just flying around it the pta systems on it seem real strong..

i can lay wast to a station in a fighter... they need better shielding or stronger pta turrets, anyways just a thought i dont think you should be able to destroy stations in fighters and when your cloakd it be alot more dangerous if your shielding didnt work, be nice if stations had two pta systems like in freespace2 one was designd for takeing out fighters and one for capital ships before anyone thinks this is a wish list i better shutup and im not compareing bcm to freespace2 in any way and or form at all i just thought the anti fighter pta systems were very chalengeing.

some of my crews ai is at 55 im about halfway there you ph33r

thats the thing it was working i have been reading the posts and ever since i changed drivers i cant get it to work again even after reformating im currently on the 22.80's

ops i meant when their destroyed

you can remap keys open the bcmconfig.ini file its under [fp] make sure you dont cause conflicts with other keys tho

hello im not sure if my card went defective recently or not i was useing the 22.80's and decided to upgrade to the 23.11's they workd fine for the first couple hours then i go reload my save game and you can no longer see thro stations iv tried reverting back to the 22.80's and even reinstalling win2k.. any ideas? and also i read the trouble shooting faq and made all the propure changes in bios cept buffer mode should it be uc or uswc [ 02-08-2002, 02:38: Message edited by: xierxior ]

that really sounds like a os problem as sc said bcm doesnt modifie any system files did you make sure the accessability options didnt get enabled? if so if you press a key on your keyboard it could activate and cause the game to ctd.. do any other games crash or start acting weird?

i found this might intrest anyone who is haveing ctd problems with a sb live useing win2k/xp go to http://www.kxdev.com/index.php and download the newest drivers you wont get fancy eax features but ever since i started useing them i havent had the game ctd once iv been playing for a few weeks now actively not just ideling.

epsilon5 i noticd you were haveing problems with the transparent models to, heres how i fixed mine im 90% sure this will help you to.. i didnt delete my old drivers before upgradeing to new ones this apears to cause courpted files or files not being replaced so 1: get the 23.11's 2: go to guru3d.com download detonator destroyer 3: uninstall your current drivers reboot into safe mode run detonator destroyer make sure it deletes all the files 4: reboot now install the 23.11's from scratch this isnt a tech support reply i just thought it would help poeple haveing similer problems to what i was experienceing [ 02-05-2002, 05:23: Message edited by: xierxior ]

i tried running the marines down with a humv to bad they dont die you can alos just lob grenades off the top of the building at the poor marines, have you ever tried landing your shuttle assest on your cc, then extracting the veichle on it you can drive around on it til either you clip thro it or generaly fall off, i havent tried giveing my cc the resume command while im on it tho, get a g-supercarrier and unload your entire crew into en enamy base unload the officers and medics first as there (operation body shield) now once the enamy marines mow down your crew your marines will have no problem killing them as their all low on ammo dont worry about your crew their clone able and the rest you can buy...

they both look about the same but when xp1 comes out with sc talking about a updated graphics engine i would imagine bcm is going to look better, i havent really ever seen high res textures on planets, in any space shooter unless their a fake back ground and not a real 3d object theirs most likely a reason for that, i think if you wanted the planet to look better close up youd need a level of detail designd for planets so as you get closer the textures change to higher res ones..

freelancer looks impressive visualy i was real intrested until i read the faq, you cant fly capital ships.. only fighters, i didnt find anywhere in the faq where it actually said you could get out of your ship either.. but what i do like is the asteroids floating around the planatary belts they look cool, being able to fly around the black holes is cool to, the battle ships look realistic for some odd reason even tho a real battle ship doesnt exist.. they look like the ones from earth and beyond this picture sooo reminds me of one of the starship trooper ships from some odd reason to.. http://www.lancersreactor.com/t/art/displa...le=approach.jpg

i just uninstalled deleted the bcm folder reinstalled copyd the patch into the bcm directory and applyd it, i still get a hard lockup on clicking the cargo button while your docked at a starbase with the tank asset, i have some pictures of a station thats on the edge of a hill and the end is sticking off it, in a way were you can see the under part of the station il post them here if youd want to take a look and since the buttom isnt actually textured.. you can see thro it.

Thats cool, but now as i look at the huge list of poeple visiteing the board you can only wonder how come no one posts

gordon i try other drivers etc before i post, the transpoter happens on all the drivers and since it only crash's when i try that i beleave its game related because i can land on the planet and get out with out it crashing, gallion, about the fp mode reload thing now i can also reproduce this one, i know its probly not a priority to even check it out right now but i can see it causeing problems in multiplayer, or will this not be addressed til multiplayer? and to if i bought a audigy/hercules game threather xp, would i still have to lower the sound acceleration? or is it related to the sb live 5.1 only? [ 01-28-2002: Message edited by: xierxior ]

weird you sure you used tacoops actually viewd the surface of a planet, waited for your craft to exit hyperspace then try to view it with f9, i thought it was a bug because its reproduceable on my friends comp to. sc, i dont run the game in debug mode, only when it ctd's to see if i find out why anyways wont do it again. [ 01-27-2002: Message edited by: xierxior ]

ok that sound thing workd the game no longer randomly ctd's, i found another way to do it to you set the slider back to basic acceleration and remove the -x command from the command line the game will sound better and still not crash, i hope this helps anyone who has a problem with the game ctding with a sb live 5.1 Why is this new? Its in the FAQ i dont know what happend but i got about 3 days into my game and now everytime i enter a new system the game crashs it apears to be game related becaue it doesnt do it until it trys to load the npc ships, example you enter system doesnt crash around 10 seconds later the npc ships try to enter the system and then it crash's.. i look at the debug log and found this. CRE/ASS STARMONK Searching for route from KRUGERZ to CHANIS2Z except that same ship also trys to route to not only every other planet/thing in the system but it trys it multible times.. i hope my save game isnt courpted i had alot of upgrades oh other ships try it to... it looks like they cant route from point a to point b.. 1.Thats how the route searching works and doesn't mean what you posted. 2.You have NO business running in debug mode. Please do NOT post again until you have installed and patched the game EXACTLY as is supported. update: i just started a new game with the spacestar, and noticd the engine sfx in bipmap mode arnt even one effect sticks out more then the other, im sorry if im bothering with small bugs, if your still working on some bigs ones and dont want to be botherd by smaller ones say so.. ...and this is a bug, because? update2: since the 1.0.0.5 patch, everytime i try to send my ae down to earth via the telaporter the game ctd's every time, i tried reinstalling it doesnt when i send my crew down tho, could someone try this and tell me if their game ctd's? resnig likes ter/ins bases alot tho he also likes to get cloned to.. Since I don't trust your environment, I will ask one of the testers to reproduce it before I even think of investigating gallion, to your reply above about the first question saying it works as designd im not sure if you understud my question, ok you enter hyperspace while in mid flight view a planet then go back to the bridge now when you get to a jump point and exited hyperspace press f9 you wont be able to see your ship. Rubbish Please refrain from such posts and most ESPECIALLY since you are running the game in UNSUPPORTED debug mode - or you posting rights WILL be revoked - WITHOUT warning [ 01-27-2002: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

i found another bug, this is were im supost to report bugs right? target anything start jumping to it, now while your in mid flight enter tacoops view a planat regin planet doesnt matter, f1 now press f9 ship model not being renderd it also wont be renderd in tacoops damn to bad i didnt report this one before 1.0.0.5 Not a bug. Works as designed. just found a second when you press R for reload in fp mode on a planet surface its supost to reload the clip in your gun right?, well its not you ammo in the clip stays the same as it was before you hit r i hear the reload sound play tho. Totally incoherent babble. to when you dock your fighter at a starbase on a planet, are you supost to repair instantly? i thought this might be a bug Nope, Works as designed. oh anyone els who reads this use -x1 if you have sblive 5.1 and haveing ctd problems, i did this and havent had one ctd since im not sure if it totaly fixed it but it apears to, try and post your results maybe? Amazing what happens when one reads the BCM FAQ TTFN [ 01-25-2002: Message edited by: xierxior ] [ 01-26-2002: Message edited by: Gallion ]
