    What does Privateer 1.0 need?

    Pilots shouldn't be too hard, but. . .@MamiyaOtaru, do you have any pilots? Or do you want me to search out the ejected pilots in the original? Heck, I might even run one or two pilots down so you can get some of the body parts. I can't say where you're going to get your better images...

    checksum errors

    I got the files fine with FireFox The problem comes when you try to "save link as" and it trys to save the file as html or text. You need to click on the file, if the system sees the file as a readable file, you'll have to LET IT LOAD, and then save it. OUCH. That or use netscrape 7.x if...

    Linux Fans, Please Test

    That's essentially the same on the PC version. I think it's an issue of read speed. How do you make sure that EVERYONE reads at the same rate? I'd rather have it wipe out the picture than miss something important. I'm sure that scrolling could be introduced, but as to how hard it would be to...

    What does Privateer 1.0 need?

    So, do what I do. Try to break the game! It's as important as modelling! How else can they get something GREAT out if you and I aren't actively looking for holes, quirks and disasters waiting to happen?

    What does Privateer 1.0 need?

    To get on better terms with the confeds FAST, kill lots of Kikrathi. It boosts the Militia as well, but you go up faster with THEM by killing pirates. The reason the faction standings sweep so hard and fast is that if you're at +100 with the confeds and you get scanned with contraband, they...

    Nav map confusing as all hell

    Ah, that was a cheat in the original. I could go to Nav, and 'though "paused," you could watch your progress on the screen.

    Mission problem ?

    The only silly or dumb question is the one you didn't ask. Think about it. Play and enjoy! I do!

    Personal modification of items

    Okay. I was worried about telling someone exactly how to hack teh game and take the fun out. A: It really is bad form. I might do it for a bit and then change badk. But it does get boring. B: It has a tendency to spur debate I'd rather not get into. Besides, I'd have to agree with...

    Totally wierd.

    No, you didn't. Unless I miss my guess, he did exactly what you said to do. The problem is how his unzipping routine is set up. It's set up to REPLACE files and directories, not overwrite existing files, because what happened is the directories or folders were REPLACED instead of the files...

    Totally wierd.

    Oh dear, Umm, how do I explain this in a way that you'll understand it. MamiyaOtaru, I'd really rather you did this one. I can show it, I can do it in my sleep, but to tell him how in simple English? Unzip the file turretsPatch.zip into a temporary directory. You should be able to...

    Personal modification of items

    HellcatV, MamiyaOtaru, I'm leaving THIS one for you. I know more than I'm supposed to for a "casual" user/luser. Besides, according to the terms of the board, that might get me banned.

    Mission problem ?

    :-( <sniff> Gee, I'm sorry, but. . .I honestly play or hack at the game, and do rl stuff more than I'm here. I just don't sleep much, and it alwayse seems to be at odd times when I do, so I'm here to do answers. Or questions in between all the odd stuff, I mean. And it's usually after...

    Mission problem ?

    Use the page up or page down buttons above your scroll buttons. You need to scroll down I think to the next set of lines.

    Display problem

    I'm not sure what you mean by always reads 1 It sounds like you need to get the image size down under 100k Open it in your image editor and save as .jpg be sure to reduce the quality some to get a smaller image. In M$ Photo Editor you click save as select jpeg click more and move the...

    landing pad quirk

    If I have the cash and they're available, I hire as many wingmen as possible. Then, if I can reduce the odds to something like five to one, I manage to live. If not, I die. Horribly. My but is handed to me in LOT of teeny tiny pieces.

    landing pad quirk

    Interesting. I've had three misparks now, all with the centurion. All when the game loads up. two on respawning, one on game boot. It ain't just respawn. Once at New Detroit, twice at New Constantinople. just an odd placement of the sprite during load, I guess.

    Hacking the repulsor Well, I've hacked it. But there's a mild problem. Regardless of where you get your gravity reference (F-9 / F-10) in the slide, no matter how strong the repulsor is made to act like a tractor for the slide, your ship is the pole or fulcrum. It becomes the SOLID...

    Cargo Pricing done

    It sorta did break the saves. Turrets. Specifically fusion turrets. They're still there, just not visible if you go to weapons.
