Birth of the Federation

If the "penultimate version" of Jokers patch is the one in the downloads section then that IS the one i'm using. If you are refering to something else then gimme the link. :mrgreen: BOTF always asks me about DirectX and Acrobat Reader as well. I imagine it does for everyone, but I always s...

BOTF has NEVER asked me to install any video codecs or direct show filters. Ever. I've got the ACE Mega Codecs pack installed. In the past, this pack has been the only thing that could solve my movies problems. Jokers patches have never been able to fix my movies problems, which I always encounter w...

I was just going through the files to make sure they were all workng DCER, when I encountered the unknown or damaged file error message when I opened alt.res. Sean has said he can open this file with Winrar without problems, and seeing as I can open stbof.res without problems something is definitely...

Hmm...this is strange then. Must be Winrar itself. I hate that program and this gives me another reason.

I'll try reinstalling Winrar and BOTF, and redownload the .iso. Fingers crossed.

I'm running XP not Vista, and I did NOT have any mods installed. This problem was with Vanilla. I've just gone through my files and I got an error message while opening alt.res. It said that "alt.res was either in an anknown format or damaged", so that may be my problem. I'm gonna try and ...

I just tested UE and I got an error message on the tech screen. But I can't get the movies to work in the game nor can I play on eWarzone, so it may simply be my installation though. When I go on Edit -> Technology -> Technology Fields if I click on ANY of the techs, I get the error message "te...

Thanks for your help Sean, but my game didn't work at all with those files! I was able to play the game perfectly well - my only problem was that the videos just didn't even attempt to play. But after downloading your files, nothing happened when I tried to load the game - Trek.exe showed up in the ...

Yep, it's there.

Euch Windows Movie Maker...every time I used it it just deleted the audio from any video I made. I just gave up on it n the end. Know of any other programs daniel can use?

Damn, we had a reeeeaaaally old thread on the BOTF2 forums with possible "alien" interfaces but it looks like it was lost when Jigalypuff deleted the old game development forum in 2006. :( I'll dig through our backups and see what I can find for you though. It's great having admin privileg...

Err...do I download them ALL? Or download one and test it, then download the next, and so on? And why don't you use Mediafire to host stuff? There's no waiting times for downloads! :P *Edit - I CAN'T download the files - I just get error messages saying "the connection to the server has been re...

It's running off the .iso that I got from these forums. And the video's don't even attempt to play, the game just goes straight to the next screen.

I haven't done anything different to the way that I set up BOTF before I reformatted my computer so I really don't know what the problem might be.

I know there are a million threads about this, but I can't get the movies to play on BOTF. My computer died on the weekend so I had to reformat it, but before then the movies were working fine. I've tried both the official 1.02 patch and the latest version of Joker's patch, and I also installed the ...

Hehe we're always talking about turn time for Supremacy as well.

I've got a Pentium 4 540 Processor @ 3.21Ghz, a Radeon X1650 Graphics Card, and 1Gb RAM. Turn times are pretty good, but they do start to lag after a few hundred turns. But then I restart so it's not a problem.

I believe the Impulse engines can generate a small Warp field themselves, Sean, although this is usually as an inverse Warp field to reduce the mass of the ship to zero, allowing for greatly increased acceleration and speed. They must've used this Warp system to maintain Warp.
