Soback Posted June 23, 2002 Report Posted June 23, 2002 OK, I usually don't try RCs because I don't want anything happening to my save games, but this got me interested. Going to try it out tonight, post about it tomorow night. Sounds like a cool bunch of things happening in this one.
Roberto Posted June 23, 2002 Report Posted June 23, 2002 Has anyone been able to extract a team of marines yet? I cant figure it out. The shuttle lands a long way away, but my marines dont even atempt to run towards it after its landed. Ive selected them for evac, but they dont move. SC, does the fact that the shuttle over shoots its waypoint mean that the AI of the pilot is too low? I dont have any really high AI marines/pilots to see if it lands closer.
Supreme Cmdr Posted June 23, 2002 Author Report Posted June 23, 2002 You won't hear some of the fp weapon sounds. In which case, download this small update and unzip it (with folders) into your BCM install over. It replaces one of the INI files in the DATA folder. This file is now included in the original RC9 patch which has also been re-uploaded. BCM 1.0.08RC9( [ 06-23-2002, 07:22 PM: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

I dont have any really high AI marines/pilots to see if it lands closer.I think I know what the problem is. I need to merge some other piece of code I just looked at. The pilot will seek out the best landing spot. Even the lowest AI pilot should be able to find one. So thats not the problem. It works fine in BCG and I just tested it in BCM as well (with a change I just made) and it works fine. I'll probably upload another RC today or tomorrow. In case you were wondering, the default Situational Awareness (SA) value is too low, thats why the marines don't know the shuttle has actually landed. This value was introduced in BCG and never existed in BCM. Up until now, that it
Roberto Posted June 24, 2002 Report Posted June 24, 2002 Great news . Im assuming that this is the reason why the shuttle wouldnt take off too. Im looking forward to trying the next RC out, as always
Supreme Cmdr Posted June 25, 2002 Author Report Posted June 25, 2002 I have updated the VCF If you want the faster fp weapon firing rates, download and unzip this file. BCM 1.0.08RC9©
Roberto Posted June 27, 2002 Report Posted June 27, 2002 Awww I was about to post about the lighting effects on the planets, when I realised you just updated the VCF with a comment about it. Im glad you caught that one about the light direction moving with the camera. Nice effects by the way.
Supreme Cmdr Posted June 27, 2002 Author Report Posted June 27, 2002 Always a good idea to check the VCF before posting

Ever heard of the Sun rising in the East and setting in the West? Good. Now siddown.

Would be fun to have a sun rising in the west and then setting at east. [ 06-27-2002, 06:09 PM: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]
insecttoid3 Posted June 27, 2002 Report Posted June 27, 2002 actualy venus spins the other way. im not sure if it does it ingame, and i cant check cause im grounded from games for failing english (BCM replaced hw and it didnt turn out to well )

Hunted Posted June 28, 2002 Report Posted June 28, 2002 Sc i wanted to ask you...since the SA on marines are higher when i teleport them into an enemy base or near enemy forces. Because with MI marines they wouldn't deploy in an SAD mode and wouldn't even pull out their weapons when in hositle territory

All logical, but I can't go in any more details than that, can't remember well.

Nothing to do with SA.
Supreme Cmdr Posted July 8, 2002 Author Report Posted July 8, 2002 1.0.08 RC12 has been released. Read my revised first post in this thread for more info and the download location.
Pedro Pablo Laracuente Posted July 8, 2002 Report Posted July 8, 2002 I've noticed something since 1.0.07 but had forgotten to mention it. The thing is that Artifacts That Need Nothing but installing to function dont work. In a Firestorm Carrier i tried installing the kakaranian reactor and the T.A shields but none of them could be installed, the Upgrade option in logistix wasn't highlighted... Something i haven't noticed/done?
Vindi89 Posted July 8, 2002 Report Posted July 8, 2002 I installed the patch over version 1.0.07 and when I clicked on the bcm.exe icon, the program didn't startup. Just to make sure I did a fresh install and then I installed the 1.0.07 patch and then the 1.0.08 rc12 patch on top of that. I don't know if anyone else has this problem.

The RC12 patch will rename some files. So if you didn't (gasp!) apply the patch from within the folder where the game is installed, it won't find them.

That is the only reason I can think of......
b1bob Posted July 9, 2002 Report Posted July 9, 2002 Applied rc 12 and tested. Found what appears to be a bug. Start game, put a marine in shuttle. Set a waypoint to moon to drop off probe. Shuttle will not return to ship after operation, nor will it RTB as commanded. Just wonders around confused. This all worked in 1.07. Also dust off count wrong during 10 second increments. Hope this helps. [ 07-09-2002, 01:53 AM: Message edited by: b1bob ]
Vindi89 Posted July 9, 2002 Report Posted July 9, 2002 Um... when I load the game it says the version is 1.0.08 RC 13 of July 7 2002. Is that a mistake?
