Announcing the release of BSG Fleet Commander version v.0.6.1

[Vagyr Admiral]

Nice mod

Relic, make HW3 fast so that the awesomeness of this mod gets a go with higher poly's

missions are hard though, how can i avoid having galactica vaporised in the "33" mission?

[yafn]

Run away. If a mission is to hard, you can press the Z key (with nothing selected) after the intro of the mission to complete it.

[scarbrow]

The Galactica's flak has been on the list of things to be looked at (just a question of when) because it seems that missiles are getting in to cause damage too fast.

What has worked for me in the past is setting galactica to the aggressive stance/suppression fire. Evading by going (not directly) underneath the basestars so both side of galacticas flak can fire. Sometimes doing sharp turns with galactica can cause the missiles to miss their target allowing the flak extra time to shoot them down. In the past it has been possible to complete the 33 mission by destroying the basestars however when the missile damage was changed to a radius of effect a while ago, its never been the case since then.

[Vagyr Admiral]

trouble in the mission is that the base stars launch volley after volley of missile raiders which devastate Galactica, even if my vipers go after them right after they launch they usually do tonnes of damage.

[yafn]

Yup, it can be hard, that's why I added the Z key skip feature.

I know that you have too much Colonial Battlestars, but I found a very interesting (something like croos between TOS and TNS style) ship at youtube:

[jamie_to_cute]

what would be really nice is ships lights on the tos battelstars

[gthompsn]

jamie : you could add that by using CFHodEdit... I'm sure that would also help the team.

[SA_Ka_20]

I would like to modify some things (for personnal use) but unfbig keep crashing... How can I do ?

[rive]

Get the .rar version.

[gthompsn]

Cheers! I like the Bezerk, Shieldstar and Heavy Basestar. Looks like there's been some significant improvements to texturing on what I thought were already pretty decent models.

[Nekie]

Just want to say how awesome this mod. I have never watched the TV series before but this mod is making me want to watch it.

[yafn]

Thanks, gthompsn, I believe MrSlinks is responsible for our updated textures, he's a machine.

[SA_Ka_20]

Get the .rar version.

Yup that's what I've done, thx.

I have never watched the TV series before but this mod is making me want to watch it.

Watch the intro movie... I'm pretty U'll want to see the rest ! ^^

[MrSlinks]

Cheers for the compliments Yafn - it's been a slow month for me due to exams and an increased workload from work (apols). On the upside though, I have 3 new texture sets ready to commit just as soon as I can smooth out a couple of kinks ;-)

[gthompsn]

So, what about getting Cygnus textured? :-D

[MrSlinks]

All I need is a decent UV...

[whitewolfmxc]

How do you get the alternative AI ? i know theres such thing yet theres no description of any sort around i can get on to ><

[Bri_Dog]

So how's the skirmish AI coming? I haven't played since one of the later 0.3's

[rive]

Hi,
here's a tutorial for the alternative, better AI by Barnmaddo

[whitewolfmxc]

why isnt the forum working ? it says account suspended ???

[twcooke]

It'll be up again shortly this happens ever so often

[Destraex]

damn still not up

[Sir_Evad]

I wish I could say how to change the AI for you here but I don't know how they were setup in the 0.4.2 release. Simple thing you have to do is replace the current AI files with Barn's. They should be in the AI folder. Again this can only be done with .rar and .exe installs.

[MrSlinks]

Ok - since the site is being slow....

In your AI directory, you should have an LUA file named "default" and two folders. One contains Barnmaddo's AI the other contains the default AI. The LUA file named "default" is a switch that can direct the PC to one folder or the other. Look toward the end of the file and you will see the switch as per the below example where:

Here - the default AI is in use

-- which subdirectory in data:ai will we load the default.lua out of
gs_DefaultAiDir = "default"
--gs_DefaultAiDir = "barnmaddo"


And here... barnaddo's AI is in use... see the way the "--" has moved to comment out the default AI instead?


-- which subdirectory in data:ai will we load the default.lua out of
--gs_DefaultAiDir = "default"
gs_DefaultAiDir = "barnmaddo"


Easy money...

[Destraex]

sweet got it.... just had to get the .rar version to do it

[.:Makaan:.]

This is without a doubt the best mod i have ever played :-D
Can you get the website working please? At the moment its a 404.

[MrSlinks]

Apologies - our public webmaster is MIA atm, please jump onto the staff site if you fancy browsing some more ;-)

[jamie_to_cute]

found some hot pics of battelstars http://www.mediablvd.com/forums/lofi...hp?t46309.html

[yafn]

See first post for details.

[mr. WHO]

How can I use the Beserk class and that pocket carrier that I can see in main menu??
I tried in skirmish (both normal and Full fleets) but there is no option to produce them and they aren't in any starting fleet.

If they're not ready then what's the point of having unfinished ships in main menu?

[mr. WHO]

The problem is that I can't extract the .big file and there is nowhere to find non .big version

[gthompsn]

look for the unfbig.exe big file extractor. It should be downloadable from these forums.

[mr. WHO]

The problem with extractors (I tested 3 of them) is that they can't extract BSG .big (and only BSG .big, other .bigs works fine)

[MrSlinks]

Apologies guys - they were removed last minute for balancing reasons (the bezerk is just immensely over powered right now ;-))

[gthompsn]

mr. WHO: I noticed that the big file extractors would get part way through the extraction of the BSG .big and then barf on some strangely formatted files (it might be some of the spreadsheets in the archive or something else, I don't know). I would just run the extraction again and it generally completed.

[yafn]

Small release, bug fix for OS X and update of the expiration date. See first post http://forums.relicnews.com/showpost...24&postcount=1

[jamie_to_cute]

i down loaded the new mod but dont see any thing dreffrent from the last mod.

[rive]

As yafn said it's only a small release but you can expect more for the future.

[jamie_to_cute]

the game was to be good till may frist its out dated already what the happend.any ways any one know when it will be fixed

[Shrike94]

I downloaded the newest version after taking a break from RTS gaming, but now i cant play it. Ive tried everything, reinstalling, redownloading the mod. I have the latest patch, and my shortcuts target looks like this "C:\Program Files\Sierra\Homeworld2\Bin\Release\Homeworld2.exe" -mod hw2bsg-v.0.4.4-win.big -Luatrace

I can play all the other mods for HW2, but not this. which is a pity because the awesomeness of BSG

[Bri_Dog]

Breaking the expiration nonsense is easy if you know where to look.....

[Ragnarokx]

You sure the .big file is named like that ? And you have it in the right folder ?

[Shrike94]

yes, its in the Data folder. the thing is, that the game crashes when i start playing a game. When the loading bar is full, it crashes.

[yafn]

New release is already being mirrored around the globe and urls will be posted soon.

The Battlestar Galactica Fleet Commander team is proud to announce:
Version 0.4.5
- Expiry update
- TNS SP Ragnar Mission updates
- Windows AI chooser

With special thanks to rive for his Ragnar Mission updates! And please go Frak the Vote!

Links, etc on first post - http://forums.relicnews.com/showpost...24&postcount=1

[Ragnarokx]

Shrike, try the new new mission. If it still fails, let you know when exactly the game is crashing. The different terms appearing below the progressing loading bar will indicate what exactly is causing the crash for you.

[Ragnarokx]

So, Shrike still around ?

yafn, just a thought, perhaps a collaboration with diaspora would be interesting ?

[yafn]

BSG is over, but we aren't. Special thanks to the B5 team for letting us integrate their Area Capture Game Type. See first post for release details - http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=97531
