You could try manually editing the shortcut for the specific level. RTFM for info on how to do this. You can even create a shortcut for each level.

Then again I have never played a tomb raider game so I had no expectations. [ 08-17-2001: Message edited by: Charles Lindsey ]

Two days ago I was online checking the forums and other stuff as usual. I got knocked offline. No big deal, happens all the time. I had been choking it down a good deal so I decided I had better restart. Instead of a warm boot I powered down and waited a few seconds. When I went to turn it back on the green led surrounding the power btton glowed for only a sec and the red led indicating disk activity flashed once then nothing. I figured I just didn't hold it down long enough so I try again. Same thing. Thereafter nothing at all would happen. So I pulled it out and yanked the cover off. As I was doing that I noticed a small amount of dust covering the power supply air hole on the back of the case. I removed that and started looking more. I checked the power strip. It was fine. I unplugged the power cord and replugged it. Still nothing. I begin to suspect the power supply. I unplugged that from the mother board and for some strange reason plug it back up. I hear the beep, the disk drive cranked up, and it's been working fine since. Wha' happened? Do power supplies have thermal protection? P.S. This is more evidence supporting my theory that computers are inherently evil.

And.. mare zee dotes n dozy dotes n luddle lamsy divy. Very intersting stuff, zee.

Welcome Commander Elio Jason. I was about to warn you about the mob squad but seems you already made your decision.

Seems like it would work but you may not have enough swap space to install. Try clearing caches, the recycle bin, defragmenting, restarting, then try again. If getright had to resume several times you may still have a corrupt download.

Congratulations Karl. My parents celebrate their 34th anniversary today. Here's to at least that much and many more to you. Best Wishes Charles Lindsey

Ok Epsilon. I went and check my version. Pixan the raider station does not launch fighters at my shuttles. The station will attack if you get too close. And I don't hear the klaxon in the shuttle. 2.09 tester version

quote:but just for the record, 10% profit is only 10% profit if you trade items of the same class. But you knew that, didn't ya? ... Chavik?? Yeah I know but with the 40% inflation at Velari I usually don't sweat the other small profit margins. Don't forget your Station "specialty" variable as well. quote:Couldn't you just solve this more easily if you had a priority list entry of Velerai and GalcomHQ? You still have to fly there first. I don't like the "Fly TO" command. I much prefer the "Jump AT" command because the shuttle stops once it gets to the system you sent it. Personal preference I suppose. quote:My shuttles always get attacked! Now you're gonna make me go look. If you fly to Polaris 2 manually you hear the enemy present klaxon twice. Once in Lyrius where there is only an ods and once in Lennen where there is an enemy station (raider I think). You either a) don't get attacked in Lennen or b)you are fast enough to avoid attack. Don't let the AP fly the route for you. Only let it hyperjump you. Once out of jump kick the AP off and afterburn towards the gate. Once on "remote control" they do fine. Been a long time. Let me check. It will be a while. I'm off to the movies.

If all you want to do is explore in space you can dock at Galcom, sell all your atv spare parts, half each of shuttle and IC spare parts, about 3/4 of nutripacks and have enough to upgrade reactor and engines so you get better "gas mileage". There should be enough for a better shield as well. Or you can immediately head off to a station with a better inflation rate and do the same. Go back to galcom and buy said upgrades and then some weapons. Sell weapons at a higher inflation station and get some cash. Once you are upgraded to where you feel comfortable and have some cash exploit your shuttles to the fullest extent. I like remote controlled shuttles. I have an ancient thread around here of the same name if it survived the purge. To remote control a shuttle what you do is "crew" (used as a verb) two shuttles. I like to use marines with an AI above 14%. One in each shuttle will do. Unload the ATV and then send the shuttles to Earth to unload the drones. Might as well let them be mining while you do other stuff. Now you have empty shuttles. Let them dock again. Stock 1 with other parts then launch them both. Switch to 1. Fly it to Polaris 2. Dock with Velari and sell your parts. Launch and fly one system closer to home. This would be Lennen using the Earth>Polaris 2 trade run. Remember that shuttles are neutral. Now; switch to shuttle 2 and fly to Galcom and dock. Buy whatever you want. I like ODS systems. Sure; Rico is correct in that Deflector arrays give the best value for space but you don't have that much money yet and tons of space (if you remembered to unload ATV's and send drones to mine). Just buy an ODS and/or some missiles. No sense holding the button down that long in the trading screen. 10% profit is 10% profit no matter what you are trading. So buy your junk and launch. Fly one system closer to the other shuttle (would be Jupiter in this trade run). Now this is where it gets tricky. You should be in Jupiter in shuttle 2 and shuttle 1 should be in Lennen. While in shuttle 2 switch to tacops. Order shuttle 1 to "Jump at" Juptiter TO Earth. Get out of tacops and switch to shuttle 1. From shuttle 1 go back to tacops and order shuttle 2 to "Jump At" Lennen TO Polaris 2. Ya gotta do it quick though because shuttle 1 is already heading towrads Earth. You have to order shuttle 2 while the tacops screen is valid. If shuttle 1 makes it to Lyrius you will no longer have the "Jump At" Lennen to Polaris 2 option. If you did it correctly both shuttles will have orders to jump into the "base" systems you wish to use. They will automatically fly to the system assigned and criss cross paths on the way. This saves you the time of flying to each system yourself once you do it the first time. Once shuttle 2 gets to Polaris 2 system begin the process all over again. Sell your parts at Velari (usually 40% inflation) and fly one system closer to Earth. Switch to shuttle 1 and buy parts at Galcom. Rinse and repeat. Meanwhile your BC is sitting there saving fuel. After a while check your drones and collect them. Unload drones (and ATV's if you want) from shuttle 3 and 4 and use those to collect drones 1 and 2. Transfer minerals to the BC and sell them where you will. Once you have enough money you may have to start buying Deflector arrays to fill up the cubbyholes in the shuttles. But for the first part I like ODS systems. It takes a few runs like this to have enough money to fill a shuttle. You can even use this tip in ACM scenarios if you pay attention.

I see Hasenau occasionally. I could try to contact him. If it's him. I thinks he shares the account name.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I beleive Derek mentioned that cargo (for sure) and creds (possibly) could be put into a cargo pod and dropped off as payment.

Speed Buggy!!! *Evil Grin*, Sorry, had to. Seriously though , if you want to pick a more human sounding name for the commander name your forum designation "Desolator" would be great. Don't think there is one. (There isn't, just looked) Provided you wanted to be terran that is. Other than that just look at anything you can find till you see something you like.

We are talking about the main servers correct? Irregardless of the banter and chest thumping in a lot of posts on this forum I want you guys here. Everyone wants you here. It would be a boring universe without you. Aramike?

Finally submitted Balor's. Thanks for bumping this up. quote:Hey Charles, FOUND IT!! Yup, saw it that night. Won't tell you how many more days it took me to find it again once the light buld went off. Sigh. Found the answer to my own question though. The copyright info that needs to be displayed on each site is at the very bottom of the application page. Anyway, have fun all.

Speaking of which; it's time to bump that thread up maybe. I searched but only found old stuff. Couldn't think of a good keyword to pull it up. Once up: quote:Just make sure you post the pre-requisite copyright info you see posted on other user BC sites. I can ask questions like what is the current copyright info? Don't you think the current copyright statement ought to be included on the web ring application page?

quote:that way at least something will remain. Then save often thereafter. I'd like to add to Hellbinder's list, list the amount of RAM you have. And read the faq, and... and.... . Search the other threads. Good tips there. [ 07-31-2001: Message edited by: Charles Lindsey ]

Post your system's specs here and what you did to install. Perhaps one of the better guys on the forum could figure it out. Let the entire community try to help you. The game is officially NOT supported but several of us remember a quite a few things. Perhaps it was just a bad download. Read the previous threads in this forum and see if your answer is in there. Such a polite guy yet......

I have moved the topic. I remember an installer issue. Anyone else?
