I have been 3D modeling for a living for quite some years. I'm very proficiant with Maya and 3D Studio Max and can model just about anything in great detail. I'm just looking into putting my models and worlds into games. So I have begun exploring where to begin making basic 3D games. Do you have any suggestions for someone who is just starting to explore programming? I am currently exploring DarkBASIC which I hear is good for starting out. I'm checking out the trial now and will buy it if I can learn anything. Have you heard of this and / or ever tried it? Do you have a better place for someone to go to start out? I think one day, I can get a game out there that has great modeling and graphics, I just need to begin the hard part now LOL. Thanks I'm looking to get into SOMETHING, just don't know where to start really. LOL

My mother is the Director Of Technology for an all-girls Catholic high school. She has been on the local news here about MySpace stating the danger her school faces. She is holding a parents meeting about this dangerous site as 27 girls from the school have profiles on there stating their name, age, location, where they hang out after school, etc. It's a very dangerous site for teens who don't think before filling out their profiles. Parents be warned. This site is heaven for those predators we all are afraid for our children to encounter. They need to shut this place down or set up some kind of age verification system and make it 18 and over.

I live in Seattle, about 4 miles from the stadium (I can see Safeco Feld and Qwest Field from my living room) . It was a good game, but I didn't know we were playing against the referees too. Ah well, if Shaun Alexander resigns with the Seahawks, we'll be back again next year. For those who didn't catch the game: Referees 21 Seahawks 10

You no longer need to type in your name to download the file I completely replaced the download script so all you need to do is click the link to download. The bridge is not touched. Only the computers, save and load screens, config screen, prompts, etc. Just the menu system and screens.

Shows how much he actually played the game before writing the review. He didn't even realize that you can send the AE to the fighter. He probably couldn't fly a fighter anyways if he thinks the main menu of the game is confusing. Ahhh another review by a person who didn't read the manual and didn't play through the game long enough to see what it can / can't do.

Looks pretty cool. Will probably need another pc upgrade to run it though LOL. I like the transparency of the UI. Pretty cool looking.

I've just finished a cool alternate interface for UCAWA, you can download it at this new site... The Tradcom There are forums there as well for feedback and support. cheers!

Thanks for fixing this SC I know it's tough when you can't reproduce it.

Just tried new exe, All systems go!

Upon reloading a saved game (or starting a new one), the scenario will load and the game hangs at the screen that says "Loading Scenario, Please Wait..." and in the lower right corner it says "Loading Completed, Standby." The game hangs on this screen. Only way to exit the game at this point is CTL, ALT, DEL. I don't know for sure, but it is possible that my system was experiencing the same or similar problem since the error occurs after loading a scenario. My machine loaded the scenario and hung instead of shooting an error. Maybe somehow my machine just hangs instead of giving floating point not loaded errors.

Just installed the 1.00.13.01. All works great now! Complete with the fixes mentioned in the VCF. Trust the SC on this one, redownload the patch, it works. Off to blow up that ship in Lennon. LOL

Just installed 1.00.13. Having a similar problem. However I don't get any errors or crashes. Upon reloading a saved game (or starting a new one), the scenario will load and the game hangs at the screen that says "Loading Scenario, Please Wait..." and in the lower right corner it says "Loading Completed, Standby." The game hangs on this screen. Only way to exit the game at this point is CTL, ALT, DEL. With 1.00.12 I had the "Restoring deployed support craft" issue. This "Hanging on load screen" is new to 1.00.13.

The results are in... *Drumroll* Version 1.00.11 works flawlessly. Restores the game exactly where you left off complete with deployed support craft. Planet saves worked flawlessly as well, restoring the game to the exact location where it was saved. The problem lies in the latest 1.00.12 patch Commander.

An update on this issue. I have started a new roam game and again went to Lyrius in the Syrius system. Saved the game. Resumed and headed to Earth. I landed the CC on Earth and exited the craft. Saved the game here by going to Tacops in FP mode and choosing "Command" TLM and "Save And Quit Game." When I resumed the game, My CC was again back in Lyrius! And the funny thing is that the commander (AE) is listed as being on Earth! (Verified by going to Tactical > Crew and Commander listing says "Earth" instead of "On Station." You can get your AE back in the ship by using exit craft command. Your AE will appear outside the ship. Upon re-entering the ship, all is OK except I'm still way back in Lyrius again! So it won't save the game correctly while on the planet either. I don't know if the game considers the AE a "Deployed Unit" or not. So there's not only the issue of the deployed units not restoring. It's also the AE, and planetside saves. There's also the issue of the CC being restored to the location of the previous saved game and not saving the new location.

I agree, This reviewer obviously forgot that this game is a SIMULATION. In real space, it takes 6 months just to get to Mars. Outer space is large, larger than the human mind can comprehend. And this reviewer (another idiot) is complaining that it takes a little time to get somewhere? Awe, the little baby don't like to play with us because in 3000 AD, we still can't travel at light speed. *hands the baby his pacifier and Donkey Kong game*
