newbie

first off, SC, about my post you deleted, I take it all back. Been playing more and having allot of fun. Not sure what was up with before but the first person mode has been allot of fun now. however, I beamed myself and some marines down to mars for alittle killing, after a few minutes I was one shot from death and all my marines were dead. I ran like hell and got away, then it was time to beam back up to the ship... I couldn't find the Evac checkbox thats on the marines for myself. Then while prone I was able to 'run' with the shift key at least as fast if not faster then standing. I'm assuming i'm not supposed to be able to do that. I had to land a shuttle to get myself off the planet, no transporting off for my AE Please add in the Evac checkbox for the AE Subject changed. Please try to use a descriptive subject if you are going to create new threads. [ 11-29-2002, 01:40 PM: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

ok, first off, thank you for coming out with a patch to fix this so quickly. A problem I was having with shuttles and mining drones is fixed. That is working great now. For the marines, they are attacking me on enemy bases... sorta. They only are shooting at my marines, not me. They also seem to come out in very small numbers if I teleport outside the base and run in. I will see one enemy every once in awhile. If I beam straight into the base there are lots of enemy marines. Also, the enemy just kinda stand around allot. So do my marines, but it seems like not as much. They don't shoot very much at all. And my marines when told to escort me stay very far back. This would be a problem if I was in danger but like I said, I never get shot at. Also when the enemy marines are dieing they are dropping to the prone position like they are still alive then dissapearing. I am hoping that this is not the way its supposed to be. Even if the enemy shot at me, my rate of fire is so much higher then the enemy and the fact that I side step and they just stand there would allow me to take out an entire base by myself. Anyone who has ever played a first person shooter will find the enemy marines as they are now very easy to deal with. Would it be possible to at least give them the same rate of fire as me and make them move around or stand still at random?

I have read the how to start from scratch with a patch and the vcf several times but just reread them again. It still seems like I did everything right. this is what I did.... for the script update i copied the two files in it into the data folder and over wrote the two files in there that had the same names. "If you had actually installed the scripts update which the downloads page clearly indicates that you need for 1.0.07, you won't have this problem. You obviously assumed that this file is on that page just for the heck of it." I assumed its on what page? I downloaded this file from the download section. for the patches I copied them into the folder... C:Program Files3000ADBattlecruiser Millennium and ran them from there. the 3000ad box says version 1.08rc25 on it during the booting up part. I have been working on this for about a week, reading everything I could on this board and I just don't see what i'm doing wrong. plz help!

its not a newbie question though. The game is not working right. there are no enemy marines on planets after I patch. its not a question about how to play. and I have read everything i could find on this board trying to fix it.

I tried to ask about this before but my post vanished. I don't have time to go into as much detail as last time but i'll fill in the gaps later if need be. I'm having a problem with enemy marines on planets. When I invade an enemy base no enemy marines attack me. I have even patched to the most current patch. Without patching at all, enemy marines poor out of the buildings and attack me. with the 1.07 patch there are no enemies. 1.07 script update - still no enemies 1.08rc23 still no enemies 1.08rc25 still no enemies anyone have any idea whats wrong? please help!
