But with GBS-III, you can create new scenario scripts etc. Just a follow up question here: I remember reading the old BCM modding posts and it stated that models could only be introduced to the game when stabilizing the script files. This way the game recognizes the models as a new assets, with basically no problems. So I'm wondering, does GBS still support this feature of introducing new assets to the game... by stabilizing the script files?

Man, I'm literally praying that something gets worked out soon... It would be a shame to see UC go down the tubes because of this mess... Haha, I guess all this goes to show how stressful life can be for a game developer. Not, profession that I'd be willing to pursue. I can tell you that! Good Luck SC, Your loyal fans are behind you all the way!!

I did a number of years ago, It was called Traitors Gate. It was a very huge and long game (4 Cds). Had to use the walk-throughs to complete the bloody thing, was pretty sweet though. Very engaging. But from what I recall, it sold at $19.99 back then also. Not much has changed... But back on topic... I'm pissed. I want my UC, I want my 3000ad game support, and I want this franchise to kickass? But with all these conflicts going on, I can't really see that happening... Why can't we all just get along?

Man, whenver I start thinking about it, this stuff scares me sh*tless. .............................. Holy crap, I think I'll head for my bomb shelter now. Have a nice life guys. I hope UC is a great game.

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: Yeah, I know. But don't go commiting suicide or anything like that. Its only a game. Well, sheesh! I am not going to commit suicide or anything. Thats a little too dramitic there sir. Haha But Im glad that the developer is concerned for his fans well-being. Unlike the people over at everquest there, but thats a whole other story... And to some people here, your battlecruiser series is not just a game sir. Am I wrong people?

quote: Did you forget that the game was being rushed by the publisher? I know all that... It's just a shame. That's all...

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: [QB] Good idea. GBS-III will be available for download sometime after the game is released. Awww that's a bummer. I was looking forward to seeing it on the CD. Oh well. I just hope it's released very soon after I buy UC.

quote:Originally posted by Fox__Trot: UC should be fun... That's pretty obvious. Of course UC will be fun. Sheesh, that's a no brainer man.

Hey yah crazy canuck! It's good to see you!!!

quote: They ship RC1, they violate my contract. They violate my contract, two things (which I've done before), will happen. 1. I will sue 2. I will release the game for free on the Net and prevent them from profiting from it. But I know they're not stupid enough to do it, so this is all speculation. Oh NOOO! I really wouldn't want number 2 to happen! Please god no! Haha, no but seriously... This is a very delicate situation here and I hope things smooth out. I'm going to be checking updates on here until this thing is resolved! Do you really think DC would do something like that or is it just a scare tactic!?!? And here I thought, DreamCatcher Interactive, was a bunch of nice peace lovin Canadian game publishers from just around the corner. All your hard work *flush* God, I really hope their bluffing SC... Good luck sir!

I really want UC!!! But I want it to be perfect!!!! Release it whenever you fee like it SC, regardless of the ramifications, for in the long run things will be better. Youll be more self-satisfied that way. You should always stick to your guns and follow your principles. Thats who Derek Smart is. "Its ready when its ready, and right now it aint ready." If this is the general feeling you have for the game, then you should ship when all things are bug free. You want the game to be impressionable and you want the game to be flawless then make it so. And personally, if I were you, I wouldn't want those old critics barking at me AGAIN for shipping a buggy game. I would try to break free from that silly reputation. Give them something they can't criticize sir! And besides, I think you already know what the answer is sir. Its pretty clear what you should do. You may regret giving into the developers crowd and releasing for the holidays. Take the different path!!!

haha, yah... I get the same thing. "this would be a great time to save.... Oh look a Gammy!" It just never ends!!!

That one doesn't seem that bad either, how long have you had it for? And how long do you expect it to last? I'll see if they have it on eBay.

How long do you people play battlecruiser for daily: 1-3 hours? 3-5 hours? 5+ hours? Some days I can be a real freakazoid, and I can play for most of the day, just blocking out everything and everyone that gets in my way. But some days, like these, I have to cut that down to like maybe an hour or so a day. Since I have exams an all, I can afford to play BC too long. I find BC can be a GOOD thing and a BAD thing sometimes. So basically, I'm just wondering how long you BC fans out there play for, and if it gets in the way of your routine?

thanx man... i got it!

I checked that out... Wow! that program looks really interesting. I checked out the demo and I had pretty much 95% effectiveness, just like the company said!! Do you have this program Grizzle? Do you have a BCM command set? I would really like to get that command set from yah if you've made one! Wow, what a program. Everyone should check out game commander! It's like having a 50 button joystick with your own voice!! Amazing for flight sims! Im definitely downloading the full version off their site, need my credit card though (I wonder where that is??? ) So far, it looks like MS precision Pro would be my choice. It sounds like it has quite the life factor and a lot of options. i'd be very happy if my joy lasted for 2 years or so with no probs. I read some reviews and it seems that some of the joysticks you mentioned dont seem to be that durable (SC has to have 4 of his fav joy for pete sakes ). Does anyone know of any joysticks that have great options and long life factors???

Well, its really more of the padlock option that I go for... When I mean 3d cockpit, I mean the XYZ of the whole thing. I dont really care for the textures and such. Just as long as I can zero in on my bad guy.

quote:Originally posted by Alacard: Wow, now that's customer service!!! haha, and that's right from the designer of the game! This forum is amazing!!

Oh that's no biggy... I do it all the time anyways, back to the point. Basically, has GBSIII been revised AT ALL for the intention of ease of use or is it a b*tch as it's always been?

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: quote:Originally posted by Eclipse: quote:Sure makes people like me wonder what it could have been like though.complex and time consuming, but rewarding when you finally get what you want hehe, he has NO clue, does he? Alright then Smart aleck , will GBSIII be as complicated as GBSII or are we getting a very straightforward version, a GBS for dummies if you will?

Oh man, but just imagine what that could have been like for BCM!! It would have been amazing if it didn't got cut. I think 3D cockpits are probably the best in space sims. Just looking all around your cockpit at all that vastness sure makes your jaw drop. Pretty colossal! Hmmmm... I never new there was that many? Perhaps I'll check them out. Time for some demo hunting!!!!!!

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: No. If you want GBS-III, wait for UC. I'm never releasing GBS-II to the public. Ever. Haha , oh man! You sure are stubborn sir!! WhatÔÇÖs the harm in uploading a little olÔÇÖ file anyway? Aww heck, you win! I guess GBS II will go down in history as that mysterious and secret program no one ever got to use, except the beta testers. Sure makes people like me wonder what it could have been like though.

Oh... Is there anyway of getting GBSII? Just me, personally... I KNOW I can figure it out sir!! and I wouldn't ask any silly questions bugging you how to use it either... (PM me with your answer)
