Urza Posted August 31, 2001 Report Posted August 31, 2001 Exactly how many and of what type of ACM scenarios can I expect in BCM? The VCF says: quote: There will be several single and multi player BCM campaigns in the final release product for all the relevant careers. Exactly how many is that? And will there be more available for download post-release?
SpotSD Posted August 31, 2001 Report Posted August 31, 2001 I've been wondering that to. And will an ACM for every career? Or just for Cap ship captain? quote: will there be more available for download post-release? Yes with the BCM GBS (Game Builder System) I'm sure there will be many third party ACMs popping up on fan pages and the like.[ 08-31-2001: Message edited by: SpotSD ]
Hector Socas Navarro Posted August 31, 2001 Report Posted August 31, 2001 No, I remember reading somewhere that there will only be ACM for the terran military commander career. I think the BC3k v2.0 ACM campaign will be ported to BCM, too. Then there are the Instant Action and Training Academy missions.Also, since the GBS has been (or will be, I'm not sure) released to the public, we can pretty much expect to find the experienced players creating their own missions and posting them here.
Urza Posted September 1, 2001 Author Report Posted September 1, 2001 No, I don't think the VCF would just flat out lie like that. (See above quote) You're both quite right about the GBS and people making third-party missions and TODs for it. I was just trying to ascertain the extent of quote: several single and multi player BCM campaigns And how exactly are quote: relevant careers defined?
Supreme Cmdr Posted September 1, 2001 Report Posted September 1, 2001 There will only be 2 ACM (the ported BC3K v2.0x one and a new 15 mission one for BCM) scenarios and both are designed to be played as Terran/Military, though nothing is stopping you from playing them as any race/caste.Plus a bunch of IA scenariosMultiplayer player campaigns are a different story entirely.In ROAM mode, you could play BCM forever and with different race/caste/career combos, so, why waste my time doing ACM scenarios? Besides, GBSII is fairly easier and more straightforward than the previous GBS, so, doing new ACM/IA/TA scenarios, will be easy (for those who invest the time in learning it).
Gallion Posted September 1, 2001 Report Posted September 1, 2001 hehehehe - Porting my ACM over. Talk about fun in the sun This ACM is not for the faint hearted.TTFN
Urza Posted September 1, 2001 Author Report Posted September 1, 2001 Would it be possible using the GBSII, to create an ACM that's dynamic: meaning that the next mission or TOD depends on the results of the previos one?
Gallion Posted September 2, 2001 Report Posted September 2, 2001 It is possoble Depending on how sadistic the scriptor is, screwing up in one mission results in Game Over TTFN
Guest Posted September 2, 2001 Report Posted September 2, 2001 In GBS-I it was possible to create branching scripts with a vbirtually unlimited number of branches. In fact, using a rather simple startup script, you could quite easily link any number of other people's acm scripts together based on events or player actions. As a tool, the GBS is extraordinarily flexible.
Scrivener Posted September 3, 2001 Report Posted September 3, 2001 I wonder how difficult it would be to script a Supernova (Back to that star discussion again)?
