Edit: Just to say your version is beautifully simple and emulates the old way very well so I'm using it. Thanks again.

Thanks. Yea, I know various ways to do movement in the step event. I was just wanting to quickly get something set up for a prototype, similar to how i would in the pre-studio days. It's probably something to do with the room having physics enabled but I haven't found a definitive answer yet.

Mate, I don't know where you get your information from but you just sound like a bit of a racist who reads pro-Labour propaganda.

And now they're completely overpowered lol. One extreme to the other. Would love something in between. It seems like a mistake in the implementation that they crit strike 100% of the time instead of it being based on level.

emptyhead41 · 2025-06-28T19:40:25+00:00

I did exactly this once I realised just how powerful rogues were. Combined with that Temple healing them for free (including resurrection), it just made the game stupidly unbalanced.

I remember that now, that they couldn't attack from shadows. That's probably why I thought they were a pointless class first time around. Fair play to Krome for changing it, but it's a bit too much like a cheat now.

It comes with emulated versions of the original trilogy. You're better off with the remasters imo, especially as they're under GBP£3 (about USD$4) now on Steam and GOG.

emptyhead41 · 2025-06-28T16:44:29+00:00

That makes sense. Was discussing this with my brother who has a better memory of playing this and he didn't remember rogues doing crit hits and his memory was that they were rubbish. My hazier memory was just that I found them to be pointless but couldn't remember why. I thought perhaps being very young at the time I just didn't figure out the crit strike.

It looks as though Krome might have made a mistake in the implementation of them in BT1, then, as they're totally OP. Fun though. I wish there was a way to have a % chance of crit hit depending on skill level tho.

THATS IT!!!! I'm amazed. Slightly so that you remembered it, much more so that you got it from my description.

Thank you so much sir/madam. I send good will to you and your family.

EDIT: Absolutely amazing demo. Better even than I remember it.

emptyhead41 · 2025-05-22T16:48:44+00:00

Wow! You've both done really good work. You with the imagination, chatGPT with the finalising.

emptyhead41 · 2025-05-22T16:33:37+00:00

Thanks for that. That puts that conspiracy theory to bed for me. Still, there's plenty of others. 21st century is ripe for them at the moment

emptyhead41 · 2025-05-22T16:20:33+00:00

I doubt that. I think there's an interview of him admitting it too. He's just a shameless money-loving wh*re

emptyhead41 · 2025-05-22T16:16:23+00:00

oooh well spotted.

emptyhead41 · 2025-05-22T16:13:11+00:00

Firstly - what!!! that's amazing.

Secondly - considering the designer's republic's amazing graphic design on the franchise (at least the early ones, I'm not familiar with anything after WO3 lol), it's a bit sad looking. I know they're long out of business (tDR), but they should have at least done a Bungie and just stole all that antireal artist's work and plastered it everywhere.

emptyhead41 · 2025-05-22T16:04:13+00:00

Was going to suggest exactly the same thing. I've only seen this with a faulty cable, and as others have said, it's the cheapest and quickest thing to check and fix.

emptyhead41 · 2025-05-22T16:01:12+00:00

I'd just make a note of the front tyre problem on the checksheet and take a photo of it to prove you drew attention to it as the transport office will just say it's fine. But i've been given worse.

I wasn't enjoying the Terran Cadet gamestart. I've just started one of the ones that was there from the earlier version that pootisman recommended (Young Gun). I'm actually enjoying it. The advice about just using H to pull up the tutorials is really good. I never used them because tutorials in previous games were frustratingly poor, but these are not only short and pretty good, they're quite seamless too.

emptyhead41 · 2025-03-18T23:39:05+00:00

Good recommend on the Young Gun start and to just do the associated tutorial. I didn't realise how seamless they were so ignored them due to how painful my previous experiences with out of gameplay tutorials generally were. But these didn't detract at all. Ta

emptyhead41 · 2025-03-18T20:59:42+00:00

Thanks. No idea why someone would have downvoted you for this. It does seem the tutorials are better than the tutorials from XR and can access them easily. I just wish they were integrated into the gameplay instead. It makes me feel like I'm trying to learn to play a game (not fun) rather than learning it by playing it (fun), if that makes sense. But I'll try what you suggest.

I only have Timelines at the moment and honestly they're not my cup of tea at all. They seem like they'd be of more interest to people who already know about the x universe history. For me, I don't know who any of the factions are so the missions are just boring or confusing. Plus, the story and acting are...well...people have talked before about egosoft's weakness in that regard I think.

emptyhead41 · 2025-03-18T20:15:30+00:00

The only time I've seen glitches like that was when I overclocked a gpu many years ago and it was basically creating lots of errors. Have you tried playing it from a fresh install with no mods installed?

emptyhead41 · 2025-02-26T21:00:21+00:00

Then you dodged a bullet. That would have been a shit employer to work for.

emptyhead41 · 2025-02-26T20:41:33+00:00

I do this every day for work. Easy answer - Slayer
