Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Late? What are you talking about? It's 9:28 P.M.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

ooppsss, forgot, your on west coast, its almost 12;30 am here, and we have big storm coming in, so don't know how long i;ll be on, besides have to work in morning. (yuk) the different time differences do make it difficult to talk with people,

ps. since your on and Mephisto is probably catching some zzzz's
do you use the TDM-Modpac, reason is, I downloaded 3.11 tonight, it froze at the data.txt entry..., then later stated it loaded ok, cked the launcher and it showed 3.11.,

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Yeah, timezones are annoying.

Sorry, I don't play single player, so I don't use the TDM mod very much. What exactly do you mean by "data.txt"? I'll d/l it and try and see what the problem could be.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

when it was downloading, it was doing the files, but when it got to the data.txt file download , there was longer handle but ending was data.txt, it hung up, showed 100%, then sat there, I couldn't get out of the screen after waiting about 7-8 min. used ctrl-alt-del to get out, then on bottom of task bar, showed some rectangel, i cliked on it and it said tdm loaded alright, I checked the launcher and cliked on tdm, it showed 3.11, cliked play se4, showed neew races, but haven't played yet to see if it loaded ok, just trying to figure if it loaded ok, weird. I do play sp, but also hot-seat with friends in SE4 and Heroes Mite & majic 4, just learning that one, but we only play on sundays, rest of time its sp, unless i play with my oldest son (24) also just starting to play PBW, always played in tactical combat, so strategic warfare only, will be new experience for me in pbw so i'm reading threads to see what to do and what not to do...
tks, if let me know if you have same problem with it......

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

No problem! Glad I could help!

SE4 Chat Room, you say? There is one on IRC on the gamesnet.net server, called #SE4. Of course, I'll have to wait until tomorrow to explain that one to you. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Hmm... been searching for xcopy.exe for a while. I wonder what that program is.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Well Mac, it seems to have installed fine for me. I really should be getting to bed here. Hopefully Mephisto can help you more with this than I could.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Tesco,

She called eleven times, but I only answered once. My cell phone lists the number calling, so I was able to tell she had called the other ten times. I have now created “distance” and I think she is getting the idea. Funny how well the talk of the EEE worked. Now I just need to find someone else to try out Gryhin’s magic formula on.

Also, I have had both Ostrich. Ostrich is raised all over the place here and shows up on a lot of menus. You need to be careful though, it can get very tough, so only order at a reputable restaurant or have a lot of that hot sauce to dissolve it. Actually, there is a very cute waitress at the restaurant that serves the best ostrich fillet, perhaps I will have to go and check things out…

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Morning all!

First of all: I'm sorry to hear about the fire. How did this happen?

2.) Mac, TDM should have installed correctly. The install program waits for the XCopy-dosbox to close and I think it didn't for you. When you where Alt-Del-ing it, the program finished as planned.

3.) Xcopy is needed to copy most of the files as the install program cannot copy files to a location that is more then 150 characters long (path and file name added together, that is).

4.) The AI settings in the setup of races should be avoided. SE4 comes with 3 generic AI sets (defensive, neutral, aggressive). If you set this for a races it will use these AI files and not the ones in its races folder, in expression, it will use generic ones and not the ones the author designed for the race.

Hope this helps!

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Fyron, tks appreciate the help

Mephisto, tks, was wondering if i once again did something that the infernal machine didn't like,
don't know why it hung up, waited 7-8 min, first before I alt-del, looks ok, but i won't know until i try it... tks again, also now I know not to use those ai minister settings, tks

Gryphin, yep, learned that costly lesson way back in my atari 800 days, played during t-storm, lost my color chip, as well as most everything else, cost me over $300 at that time to get it fixed. Now standing rule in my house, if t-storm & lightening, turn off and unplug.... Can imagine what it would cost today to get one fixed, probably cheaper to just buy a new system....

Saxon, I think you need to recognoiter your next target lst, do some backround, and watch what she eats when on break before you approach. Maybe its something in the water over there that affects them,,, Just listen to The Gryphin, he seems to be doing something right,.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

After all, I'm sure his week hangover, lost voice, and his moose souvenir from his expedition into Asia, shall enable him to once again concentrate upon the tactics of SE4 once again.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

PROBLEM

Ok, the other day my second HD stopped working.
(Shortly after installing Kazaa.

At first I thought it was a burn out, got too hot, but now, since I am have boot problems, I think it may either be the MB (An MSI) or a virus in the CMOS/BIOS

You see, whenever I start up the PC, it can not detect my Primary HD. I then have to reboot, go into the BIOS, and redetect it, then restart. That usually fixes the problem, and my PC boots up.

This is getting very annoying to have to do every time so I would like your best guess as to what the problem is. Thanks.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Atrocities,
<pray>
To clear the CMOS,
Unplug the system
Remove the battery
<if possible>
Remove any cards with upgradable BIOs
Replace with old cards
</if possible>
Remove any unnessasary cards such as Network card. Many of them have upgradable BIOs

Boot off floppy or CD that you have put the BIOs file on.
(you prepared at work or at a freinds)

Flash the BIOs
Boot off a floopy or cd with anti virus on it
Boot off of a CD with anti virus
</pray>
Folks, anymore ideas? I probalby left something out

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Gryphin.

Perhaps it is just the battery.

How old is the said computer ??

And what type is it??

Just replacing your battery may be all you need ... if you can avoid flashing the bios do so unless your confortable doing stuff like that.

If you think it is a virus go to Mcafree and scan your system. You can do it right from there web site.

But it sounds like a battery problem.

ATX Boards are easy to replace the battery.

Your looking at 10 to 20 dollars and 1 minute to open the case remove the old battery and place the new one in.
