this is what happens when I try to play BC:

All I've got on, is BC 1.1, and the Kobayashi maru expansion.

You might also need to check the Activision support webiste, sometimes this problem can be solved using other methods.

only when they are outnumbered they don't, and they try to ram you.

replace your mainmenu.pyc with the one that came with the mod.

This is going to sound incredibly ingornat, but how do I do that? All I did when I installed KM was erase any trace of BC on my computer, re-install BC, re-install the 1.1 patch, than download KM and put it in the BC root folder. I haven't done anything else. QuickBattle works fine, just can't seem to play online...

Anyone know how to get cloak fire or Nemesis collisions to work?

I just copied the sub folders, and I was not asked to overwrite anything...To install it, all I did was cut the sub folders from the downloaded KM file, and paste them into my BC root folder...

I can only suggest that you reinstall BC, apply 1.1 Patch then install KM again...this shouldnt be happening and it isnt due to KM...probably just a bad install.
From the Activision website:

Quote:

C++ Runtime Error Answer # Make sure you have the latest video and sound card drivers from the manufacturers' websites. # Set your desktop to a resolution of 800x600, 32 bit True Color. 1) Right-click on your desktop and select Properties. 2) Click the Settings tab. 3) Set your screen area to 800x600. 4) Set the colors to 32 Bit (True Color). Under Windows NT this will be listed as 65554 colors. 5) Click Apply and OK. # All background applications must be shutdown prior to running the game.

Hope this helps.

When you extract KM you should have about 4 Folders
data
scripts
sfx
doc

You must copy and paste ALL of these folders directly into your Bridge Commander folder and overwrite. You may need to ensure ALL your BC files are NOT read only before you paste.

1. uninstall BC
2. restart comp.
3. reinstall BC
4. install 1.1 patch
5. run game, this is a status ok check.
6. install KM

these steps may be a little extreme, but its a sure way correct the problem. be sure to read the readme file again to make sure you haven't overlooked anything prior to installing KM.

*edit* OK, Kobayashi Maru works now, HURAAAH!

anyway, I'm starting a new topic in the tech help thread, because I'm having problems with my normal BC


btw, is it possible to give the ships, background & stuff 'upgrades' in KM? I'd like the planets to look more realistic

Are you asking if we WILL be updating planets/backgrounds in KM1.0 or asking if YOU can change them yourself without problems.

We will be releasing an enhancement pack which will include new planet textures amongst a whole load of other stuff...and these will be compatable with KM. Cant give a release date yet tho, but hopefully soon
