This patch seems to work well for me. Well done SC! Last night I watched 5 of my Elite marines take out all the the air defence systems of an insurgent base. Tonight I think I'll send in my fighters to finish the job! The only prob I found (and is only a small prob), is the marines are not always very good at navigating around buildings (esp. L shaped buildings). Saw one guy just stuck in the courner of a building once. Had to evac him and teleport him back somewhere else. Appart from that I haven't come accross any bugs so it looks all set for MP. Once again well done SC and keep up the good work!

LOL

Don't belive it. Just ran out of beer. Luckily, found a tin of Strongbow in car someone must have left.

Yeah, Remo, remember to post the time starting as well. Will it be the same as last weekend? 8:00pm Friday and 2:00pm Saturday(2:00am and 10:00pm for me)

I've nearly finished my printable version of the appendix. I've now included the trade items and just finishing off the ground units stats. For the all the ships and fighters and that, I have given each an overall score and highlighted their strong and weak points. I may make this available when completed. (Covers everything in the online appendix plus a few extra things of my own)

It went right though the starstation and out the other side! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thats not possible. You had the camera in a skewed view (which can happen). This happens all the time and I know about it. Nothing I can do but to tell you to learn how to use the camera. There is no collision detect in the camera depending on the view and range to the object being observed. If missiles could go through objects, you won't be able to destroy anything with missiles. The only collision detect issue that I am aware of (and which I can't do anything about) is during repeated collisions at low frame rates, it is sometimes possible to intersect and object depending on how fast you are going. In BCG this problem is solved by partitioning the game's rendering and update loop into separate passes so that the rendering loop (frame rate dependent) does not have as high a priority as it does in BCM. OK. I only posted coz the missile was intended for the shuttle and not the starstation. My interpretation of what happened was that maybe missiles only blew up on collision of intended targets and ignored all others. Anyway, will check again when get the chance. Maybe was skewed angle. quote: quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was running version RC19 (which btw has cleared a lot of probs for me -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What sort of problems did it clear up? Apart from the ability to restore saved games? For me, Tacops and menus (Like Tactical and Logistix) seem alot smoother. By this I mean the mouse MOVES! (And moves smoothly) Also, I've noticed that the in-game music doesn't skip back a few seconds when entering menus (Like Tactical and Logistix). This may not be related to this version but it is the first time that I noticed this. Just got back from work now and gonna start a new game and check as much out as I can (like I wonder if marines will shoot at stationary SAMs and the like or even opposing force marines now!) I've never seen my marines engage in combat, even when on SAD orders or direct orders. I've never really played around much with this aspect of the game though so will do as much as I can tonight and if I come across any probs, don't worry I will read the VCF first!

Just noticed something strange! I was in the Mondial system near the Mondanis starstation and I was attacking a Sonar (well my fighters were). After their ship was blown up they sent out a shuttle, which I then ordered my fighters to atttack. The shuttle was heading for the starstation but managed to dock before one of my fighters missiles was able to hit it. Then I thought, hang on that missile is gona hit the station! I went to Tacops and zoomed on the missile and watched it. It went right though the starstation and out the other side! I was running version RC19 (which btw has cleared a lot of probs for me ). I will try and reproduce this maybe using earlier versions but not until I hear back from ya incase you allready know about this. I had a quick look though the VCF but there is so much stuff in there now I couldn't see anything relating to this.

Welcome to our world Commander. John Silence.

Nice one my son. Stick with your mates coz girls love to lose you all your friends!!!

I believe only MIL commanders go up in ranks (I dont think a scientist or a trader would, do you ) Welcome to the world of BCM, and yes it's BIG! The best way to find out whats going on is to expieriment! Have fun. Note: You can use the playmod (unsupported!) to make things quicker!

1. They equip with a combat kit which contains rations,weapons,ammo and a portable jet pack. The rations will last for 8 hours. They also get mission briefing. Manuel p.58 2. Don't know whats going on there. In your sig put your system profile information and what version of BCM your running (like mine). I've never had that problem! Edit: Just noticed you got your system specs already, sorry. [ 10-26-2002, 02:10 PM: Message edited by: LBM ]

Only Terran Military, Terran Insurgent and Terran Earthcom castes are awarded medals From the Appendix. I think only military can go up in ranks. [ 10-26-2002, 02:00 PM: Message edited by: LBM ]

Sounds like a good Friday night!

It looks good. I'll have to see if I can get me a copy.

I hear alot of them have started their own chat shows.

The chickens are drinking coffee and the Gammulans are eating the chickens! Galcom is at war with Resnig and the Insurgants are dying of laughter!

Don't worry, SC is saving all his punishments for when BCM goes multiplayer! Get yourself signed up with a fleet and wait for BCM to go Gold!

You only go in the airlock with Resnig when you've done something REALLY bad! (To be put in the airlock is bad, to be put in the airlock with Resnig is REALLY bad!)

That's prob where my weakness lies, I'm not that quick.

I just hate repeating the same thing over and over! I just hate repeating the same thing over and over! Oh GOD, what am I doing!

WOW man, I'm impressed.

Yeah, me knows that! I was just wondering if she managed to copy it. Anyway, welcome aboad mate! BTW, beware of the Chicken Fleet!

How did you copy that then? Whenever I tried to copy it into Word, it never retained the table format! Could not be arsed to reformat all of that myself.
