More Multiplayer issues.
First off, in the MOD's multiplayer campaign, whenever someone tries to select a different fighter to use (besides the default craft for the mission), his computer crashes immediately on startup.  I've tried everything I can think of to fix the problem (no luck whatsoever),  Does anyone else have any ideas what the problem could be?

My second question is mostly directed at Max, Venom, Roy, or anyone else from the Robotech MOD (since I know they've been working on a very similar issue with thier transforming veritech idea).  Is there any way I can dynamically alter a ship's table statistics in mission?  Such as altering it's maneuverability or it's acceleration based on it's present velocity.  It would really help to further differentiate between the different ship's capabilities, not to mention make multiplayer matches even more interesting (wouldn't effect single player that much since the computer only seems to know about 2x different throttle settings, full and AB   )

If anyone with any insight to these dilemas replies to this or e-mails me with some data (if you don't want it up for public eyes) I'd really appreciate it.

I told you that It would be done by November, well, mostly anyway...

can't help you for most of the questions, but about the transforming veritech, from what I know, I think it's only a graphical modification, nothing else is changed when you transform your ship.
SCREW CANON!

 
Four throttle settings : Full, AB, Stop & Match speed with Target.  

If you find an answer, Brodcast it as I for one would like to know if you can mod ship stats based on other factors.

I was thinking a slow unmaneuverable but small fighter that becomes faster and more maneuverable once it has fired the 2 HUGE torpedoes it had strapped to the sides of it's hull.

By the way, where is your site now? I saw the Yahoo group thing, but when you posted the new URL it ran off the page, something like "http://www.homestea"

(EDIT) Next time..check the siggy. doh.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

(lol) this one's funny, can I keep him  

Seriously, the link to the Geocities site is in my siggy.  If that one screws up there's a link at the top of the home page to the mirror site.  The mirror is at
 www.jskgames.homestead.com/files/home.html

...and I THINK that the file corruption thing has been fixed.  Unfortunately the multiplayer campaign that comes with it is still broken.  Fixing it is easy enough, just go into the mission and increase the number of type-7 cannons and redeye missiles for team two to 100 each.  When my staff is done play-testing the demo campaign (and I'm done considering/implimenting thier suggestions) I'll put the replacement for it up then.
=============================================

Ok, I just tested the downloads (god I love T-3 connections  ).  The Geocities one is still monkeyed up but the Homestead one works fine.
