Martian base commander

Thanks for the replies,even though they were of not much use to me. Ricardo, The supplies may come in handy if ever you do 3 or more missions in one 'clean sweep' of the area,especially against BM who can sap a load of AP rounds sometimes.And as I said,I needed medical supplies as we took a bit of a hammering on one mission.The BM have just introduced their new cannon,so...it hurt a bit. Kret, I know about the 'default' area for accessing the boot,I just have problems on THIS particular map,it seems the UFO is placed in such a position so as not to be able to access it.Ive played it long enough to realise about the 'correct positioning of the squad' Thanks anyway,guess its just one of those maps.

Has anyone ever had trouble accessing the UFO for supplies when in mission?.I have only experienced it on the BM level which has a long thin design,you then go through a small valley before entering the BM camp below.Actually there is 2 routes into the camp,but I normally take the left route through the valley.I tried accessing the UFO but it seems that the UFO starts in a strange position to begin with,denying access. This in my opinion is quite a serious bug,if thats what it is,as I needed extra medical supplies but was unable to do so,eventually having to abort and go back to base,to try again. Thanks.

hehe , nope,I was trying to change my old ID which you may have remembered me as BlueBlood Well I am pleased all is sorted out now,and am enjoying my new alias.

Thanks a lot zombie! ,that is really helpful,and damn quick too.

To the mods - I was hoping I could change my name to something more accessible to me.As I have recently opened my own UFOAL group / forum with a new name more appropriate,I was hoping I could do the same in here and change my current name Blueblood to the name I use at my group,and is also the name I have chose at the official UFOAL forum.I remember I changed my user name a long time ago to the one I have now and I want to change again,and this time its for the last time.This will help to make my new alias universal and easier to manage all my accounts. If this can be done,I really appreciate that,and I hope its not an inconvenience. New desired name - Martian base commander ( dont laugh ) Thanks for your support.

I thought I ought to post you all an official invite to my new club I recently opened,dedicated to UFOAL.I appreciate it will never be as good as this site,but it will hopefully be more streamlined,and allow you to get to the information you need at the moment. Please take the time to consider becoming a member,it would be great to see some of you in there.If you DO decide to join will you pass an invite on to anyone else you know?. GROUP ADDRESS - http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/the_uf...ecreation_dome/ Cheers guys!

I have just experienced my first crash in ages now,on the mission completed screen.I had just completed a mission against the robots and was waiting for the mission complete screen to finish loading and take me back to the geosphere,when the game froze at about 90%.Does anyone know the cause of this crash?.I have been playing since this morning,so the game may have suffered some sort of serious memory leak or my system was overheating.In the end I had to restart my system. I really hope we are not seeing an annoying return to all the crashes that plagued UFOAS in the latter stages.My current campaign's date is about half way through July,if this crash is date related. And,in case anyone cares to mention about this,I have the 1.6 patch installed. Thanks for your help.

Slaughter,you are right,F12 does it.Thanks for the reminder.

I'll try F12 mate,I forgot about that one.Glad you are still around by the way,I thought Mars had been deserted and was left alone!

Surely somebody can tell me how to take screenshots.I can't find any reference to it in this forum or anywhere else on the web for that matter.All I know is,is that it involves the print screen button! Is it Ctrl + print?,shift + print? Thanks for any replies here.

Can someone remind me how to take screenshots.I'ts been a while since I last played AL,and as I have started a new campaign I want to take a few screens,but can't remember how to.All I can remember is its in conjunction with the print screen button and thats all,whats the other button?. Sorry if this has been covered before in here by the way. Thanks.

Cheers mate

So,the game is still in development?. I looked at some screenshots earlier and they look better than what I originally expected,the green aliens in particular (Mutons from X-COM?) looked pretty good.Are there Sectoids in this?,I loved them hehe. All in all,I think its a very impressive effort from fans alone,to say that they have had no professional help either?,just shows you what can happen when similar minds get together. Looking forward to playing this,if all goes well of course. I have approx 23 hrs of dload left *sigh* Thanks.

Slaughter, Thanks a lot for that info,thats just what I needed.For ages now I have wanted to play my old X-COM games on PC,but for obvious reasons they have a lot of difficulty due to the complexity of OSs today.I really hope I manage to get UFO-AI installed and running ok. Finally,do YOU yourself have this game?,and do you rate it next to the X-COM games? Cheers One last thing Slaughter, At the download location,there are a few to choose from,but with Windows XP I expect I would choose the bottom one win32.exe ? Thanks again!

This might not be the relevant section to post such a post,but nonetheless here it is. Regarding UFOAI,I am new to this game and the team behind it,but am a long term fan of the X-COM games and have all the UFO games also,but is this program free to the public?,and can someone tell me what else I might need to run this program? In a nutshell,just tell me what I need from the beginning? *really interested in this new project* Many thanks
