I'm tripping! 'Nuff said... Okay, just for the hella of it... I will see what I can do. Will get back to you in 42 hours, if not it's because I'm probably from massive brain damage...wish me luck... If I give up I will tell you guys. Don't worry. [This message has been edited by SpacePhish (edited 03-15-2000).]

No way, you have to wear it side-wayz. You got to reprsent for da industry fool! Yo know, cause wearing yo caps back-ward means you be represnting the movie industry, which means I may have to bust a cap in you arse. Foolz, we be ridin in them benz, light up your block real good, you movie industry playa-haters . *throwing up signs* Game-SIDE! Sorry I just had to do it ... sue me!

Okay, I admit, it's an half-baked idea. I haven't given much thought to it... well I would like to try at least... First, I need to read that doc again, it's been awhile. Can I place object relative to an object rather than placing it in an global x,y. For example... [ai] // signal the beginning of the AI block... <1>.wing1,100,100,100,100,100,100,0 // this declear the object called wing1 and it's attributes. <2>.wingleader // what the object will be refered to as. <3>start inactive near earthz^jmp-01 1500 jmp-02 //start at this place... Now if I use an local x.y instead of global. //this figures out the global postion of //of object... Object.postion = 100 The script would look something like this... Earth^jmp-01 100 right? Now if I want to plot a waypoint... Way point at Earth^-01 1000 ? ?? Am I stupid or what? But then I need to know the exact location of earth... Maybe I can figure it out somehow...Of course I also need to know how big an region is, so I can do some bound checking. But then again I really need to think over... Yes now I think S.C is probably the only one capable of doing GUI on the scripts...then again I'm a "half-baked entry level programmer". Who knows...only time will tell.

I would like to work with you rather than do it lone-wolf style. E-mail me we can get this bad-mug underway. BTW let's to talk, on IRC or something. I still don't have ICQ yet But I will download it if needed (I'm just too lazy when it comes to downloading new softwares)

LOL I can see it now Pad my self on the back, I'm now an offical industry expert!

Hey man it may be pointless but at least I'm getting some pratice . Anyway, sounds good Xlogic except the part regarding V.B. I would like to help but I have no V.B! I don't know crap about V.B. So I guess we have to go our seperate ways (No offense man, I'm sure you're a better coder than I). This weeknd I will begin my Design Docs, this project will be open-source. Beats coding side-scrollers , time to put on my coding hat(my Laker cap Damn them all! Then need to do they're stuff man serisouly, no good B-Ballz players. They're aright this season, they're going all the way). [This message has been edited by SpacePhish (edited 03-15-2000).]

Hey, great idea! I never thought of it! How do you plan on making this program? What language are you going to use? If you need any help just holler at me, I will try to help. I have knowledge in C/C++, DX and Win32 API. P.S Do you have a design doc? If so, can I take a look at it? If you don't mind. I want to add something... You could do like this. Think how the Tacops works! It maps the whole system and it's object. With This program we can display everything in a particular system and the user can manipulate objects in an graphical manner, like planning waypoint and action etc... For example to place an object you just click on where you want the object to be at, then bang there it is. Since in the real GB scripting you specify the object and it's relative postions to another in game object. Of course everything would be already mapped in this program, so placing object would be easy, allowing the user to do it in an graphical. manner. I have more ideas, but before I throw it out I need to take a look at GBS. To build this program the programmer needs to understand every single aspect of GBS. So we can do it in a graphical manner and save the results into the bc3k script format. And the user can compile this script with the standard GBS compiler. The beauty of it is GBS compiler uses standard ASCII, whoohoo! Nothing to crack! Yea baby!

Does your joystick work in other games? I had trustmaster topgun once and it didn't work, because it was broken . Well I'm not saying this is your case but check to see if it works in other games. If it works, you want to try this... quote: Go into windows explorer, into your BC3K directory, and delete a file called JOYSTICK.SET if it exists. From Windows 95/98, go to the Game Controller icon in the Control Panel. Click on the ADVANCED section and then select CHANGE. Scroll until you find the Thrustmaster Flight Control System and then double-click on it. Calibrate it and restart the game. Select CONFIG from the BC3K MAIN MENU and select Thrustmaster. Exit and calibrate the stick when prompted When you launch and you are in the cockpit or bridge, press [CNTRL+J] to calibrate the stick if it behaves erratically. Or if that dosen't work like you said, just use your original profile and select a joystick in the config menu that match your joystick. Here is a the list from the faq. quote: 2 button stick 2 no no 4 button stick 4 no no Thrustmaster 4 no yes CH Flight Stick 2 yes no CH Fighter Stick 4 yes no CH Flight Stick PRO 4 yes yes CH F16 Combat Stick 4 yes yes (2) *NOTE: If you do everything correctly joystick will work in BC3K. WHY? Because the same thing happened to me, after reading the FAQ I got it to work.

Nope, I wish 2.09 had MP. If it did you think half the fleet mentioned above would still exist? I don't think so . It's just a matter of time now, we the INSURGENCT!!!! will rule, we will be the only ones left standing in the end. If freedom is what your looking for then we are defiently your answer, believe me I used to be work on the other side, you have to sign NDAs just to use the bathroom! Trust me, you want to be with us when 'shake your bong bong' hit the fan.

OMG!!! Yeah!!! *triple 360 all the way to the airlock*

It's possible, but you have to get permission from the creator of this game, Derek Smart AKA Superme Commander of the Galcom forces. Half a dozen fleet already exist, they are: Prime Flet. Orion Fleet. ISS Fleet. Wraith Fleet. SCID Fleet. Earthcom Fleet. And saving the best for last, The Isurgency(we are bunch of space-rebels)

*spacephish suddenly appears from nowhere and begin whistling. Points to himself and begin doing caetwheels acroos the room TRYING to catch a certain high ranking galcom officer's attention*

I totally agree! Except for the part of being half baked! Those fools are not half-baked! They must been smoking crack on the day they were born to file a lawsuit like this! Forgodsake sign that petition, this is complete b.s! I did my part now do yours!

"Don't underestimate the power of the dark side! *EVIL INSANE LAUGH* Wha-hahahahahahahahah" Okay, sorry, all jokes aside now. We don't hate newbies at all . We love ya! Like Eclipse mentioned above most problems can be solved by reading the manual and searching the fourm. But if you still have problems please post them on the fourm, I'm sure some friendly commander will answer it. We here at the fourm welcome all new peeps A.K.A newbies to the fourm. They provide ammunition for our on-going fleet wars . And don't worry about Mr.Smart aka S.C, give the man a break, you try programming 24/7/365, heck be glad he's even on the fourm answering questions (I'm sure you know how he feels since you're a doctor). That's all I have to say for now. May the dark force be with you, I'm out...

My condolances . I'm really sorry about your loss...

Cool. I like it. With that said I now earned the right to shamelessly push my next song here. Currently I'm working on a new sample mix. This one totally rocks, it's nothing like my old samples. I used just rip beats and notes off from somebody else, and loop. Now i use a tracker, with a tracker I could sample any kind of sound any compose it into a song using my keyboard. I call this one Space Rebel. Of course dedicate to us insurgents. I have about a 2 min worth of music now. I will post a link when it's done. Stay tuned.

Cool. Will it be possible to put the pictures on the sides of your B.C? I'll be straight pimping. Think disco, think strobe lights, think me walking around wearing a pimp suit, yeah.

Looks like you will be working with me Commander. Looking forward to it. Drop me few lines if you like, we can talk about our plans for N.A or just bollock ---- CMDR S.Phish ICV "FlipSide" Spectre Fleet Chief Security Officer New America Pre-Com "I'm ready to crack some galcommie heads."

Hehehe..hmmm...what do you mean by MOVIE? You mean a Hollywood blockbuster? Can you get me a job or what? No just kidding, I don't want to slave my life away at some- Hollywood studio. Anyway your movie sounds cool! Keep me posted.

Okay people, oldbie, newbies alike. Have you ever ran into the following situations while playing 'THE GAME'? As your are waging massive space-battles suddently your computer slows down to a crawl. This is especially true when attacking a star-station, normally frame-rate would jump from 40fps to about 10fps. It certainly happens on my system, even with a PIII 500 and a vodoo3 graphic accelerator. Commanders there is good news! After reading this article here www.cdmag.com I tweeked around with my system and to my suprise 'THE GAME' runs perfectly now. I mean perfect! So guess who's problem was it after all? Nope, it's not Mr.Smart's fault, it's *supprise* mr.Bill Gates's fault. Due to the poor nature of windows, it's what's been causing the reported slow downs. You see window use this thing called Vcache and it totally suck at it( I won't go into the detail, it's simple just read it on the tweekman site). Don't ask me why, ask the dudes at Microsoft. Anyway, follow the guide on www.cdmag.com and get the Vcache tweek program. It's called cacheman and you can find it at this site: www.outertech.com/english/index.html . Download it, tweek with it. All you have to do is click on settings, select either Win-95 or Win-98, then click on 3D games. Restart you systems. Magic, man, it's pure magic. Now my B.C runs like magic, I don't believe it! I'm fighting huge-space battles with a 30+ frame rate! Unbelieveble! I think I really hit upon something here, now please go try it and tell me if it works on your system. Peace, I'm out...for real this time... P.S also make sure you read article at the www.cdmag.com site. Tweek your system according to it. I know I'm proably just getting all exicited over nothing, you guys proabably already knows about this. But, hey I'm trying to help. You will be glad when you B.C game runs perfectly smooth, it's like a whole new exprience. UNBELIEVEBLE... [This message has been edited by SpacePhish (edited 03-03-2000).]
