-1.33GB of uncompressed hard disk space
Information:
This pack contains Version 2.0 [BETA] of the Bridge Commander Super Mod, this time substituting much better looking starships in every possible area; new explosion, damage, phaser, shield, torpedo, starship, starbase, and warp flash textures are also included. Scotch & Soda Akira- and Galaxy-class starships, Chronocidal Guy's Sovereign-class, and LC Amaral's Ambassador-classes along with Starforce Production Team's D'Kora-class add a much richer environment to the game than did the ships included with Version 1.0 of this mod; all-new modified BC Lost Dialogue scripts are also included that include the same brutal battles of V1.0 but this time with more dialogue and new dialogue which was omitted from the original game.
Version 1.0's weapons I admit were not very attractive: large, super-accurate torpedoes and disruptor pulses and really thick beam weapons that could fire on long, low-powered discharges - this is NOT the case in V2.0.
Version 2.0's battles are quick and brutal just like in the regular episodes; you should avoid combat unless you're very skilled at piloting or are in a very powerful starship; all ships in the game now fire phasers on short, high-powered bursts with quick recharge rates; disruptor pulses are less accurate and are faster as well, and torpedoes are much less accurate and very fast and powerful.
As with V1.0, all ships in the game have been re-hardpointed or had their textures enhanced or redone; all of the ships from my CG Sovereign and SNS Akira packs are also included for the player's enjoyment in Quickbattle, and a total of 31 SNS Galaxy-class starships are also included for further enjoyment in Quickbattle; the SNS Galaxy Dreadnoughts USS Pegasus, USS Typhoon, and USS Steel Talon are also included.
Ships are also faster and more maneuverable, and collisions are much more deadly - ships have all had their masses and inertial moments re-scaled so that they all have correct masses in relation to each other.
Speculars for all ships are also included, even for the new and old SNS Galaxy registries so that the registry information doesn't disppear when a blank specular that hasn't been replaced via SDT activates.
The ships included in the pack are the:
SNS Akira
SNS Galaxy
SNS Galaxy Dreadnought
CG Sovereign
LC Ambassador
P81 New Orleans
P81 Nebula
P81 Intrepid
P81 B'Rel
P81 K'Vort
DX Negh'Var(w/custom HP)
9 of 9 Defiant
9 of 9 Galor
9 of 9 Keldon
C2X D'Deridex
C2X Scimitar
C2X Voyager Cube
Red Dragon's Norexan
Zambie Zan's Melak
SPT Marauder
Dark Drone's Tactical Cube
Collective Alliance Borg Scout
Unimatrix 1 Sphere
Unimatrix 1 Diamond
Unimatrix 1 Prometheus
USS Salem Fed Starbase
All of my stuff(ships, re-textures, re-hardpoints, etc.)
All ships and bases in this mod have been extensively re-hardpointed to balance them with the television shows; every ugly ship and base that came with the game and that did not have superior replacement mods available has been re-textured or had its textures enhanced and has also had high-detail specular Targas created for it.
I would advise against tampering with any seemingly-meaningless ship files like "SlowShuttle.py" or "USSBerkeley2.py" or "CGNXSovereign2.py" as these are crucial to the new Maelstrom scripts and will prohibit progress through the game if deleted or re-scaled in the slightest!
Major re-textures of the Melak- and Norexan-class Romulan Warbirds are also included, as well as extreme hardpoints for all Borg vessels in the pack.
The skinning and damaging tool and submenu modifications are also included and are absolutely necessary in order to see registries on any SNS or CG starships when in Quickbattle.
Other miscellaneous mods that are included are:
MDamamge 1.0
WarpFlash FC
Explosion Pack
My uniform, character head, shield, and phaser textures
CTU Sovereign-class bridge re-texture
CTU Galaxy-class bridge re-texture(w/my Targa corruption fixes and additions/Targa replacements)
Advanded Technologies Pack 1
Skinning & Damaging Tool
Submenu Modification
Anyway I believe that everyone will like this version much better than the first.
I'm also very sorry to inform all of you that this beta version of the modification suffers from save-game reloading problems in all episodes after Episode 3: Mission 1(episodes 1 and 2 and E3M1 all reload fine - don't ask me why) in much the same way that results when NanoFX 2.0 BETA is installed; I'll try hard to fix this problem and have a patch or another version of this modification available soon. I advise using Test Mode to play missions 3-8 in the same way that you would if you had NanoFX 2.0 Beta installed; anyway enjoy!!!
Installation:
If you haven't already, uninstall Bridge Commander off of your computer and then in "C:Program FilesActivision" delete the folder entitled, "Bridge Commander".
Now install Bridge Commander onto your computer, and then install the Bridge Commander Mod-Installer(readily-available off of BC Files) INTO your "Bridge Commander" folder and then run it and install the Foundation program.
Next install the Bridge Commander Mod-Packager into your "Bridge Commander" folder.
Now you need to enter "Bridge Commander/data/Models" and delete the folders "Ships", "Bases", and "SharedTextures" (you read correctly).
Next enter "data/Models/Misc" and delete the folders, "KessokMissleLauncher", "CommLight", "CommArray", and "SunBuster".
Now enter "Bridge Commander/scripts" and delete the folders, "Maelstrom" and "ships" before entering "scripts/Tactical" and deleting the "Projectiles" folder out of here. Then go to "scripts/Quickbattle" and delete "Quickbattle.pyc", and in "scripts", delete "Foundation.pyc" and "FoundationMenu.pyc".
Now enter "Bridge Commander/sfx" and delete the entire "Weapons" folder out of here.
NOW YOU'RE READY TO INSTALL THE MOD!!!
Now extract this mod's RAR archive to a temporary folder somewhere and then double-click on "BCSuperMod2.exe" and follow the instructions to install the mod, making sure to install it to "C:Program FilesActivisionBridge Commander" unless you just want to pick stuff out of it, then you can install it to a temporary folder.
The mod is now installed and fully-capable of being played; however you'll likely want to have the TGL files for your new ships.
Extract the "Ship TGLs" folder that came with this mod and place it into your "BC-Mod Packager" folder and then use BCMP to update all TGLs into the game.
You'll receive error messages for every TGL that is meant to replace the stock TGLs that came with the game - this is okay, as you will deal with these shortly.
Once BCMP has finished updating TGLs, exit BCMP and then open it back up, select the TGLs that had errors, and then click the "Update TGL" button and BCMP will successfully update them into your game and overwrite the old TGLs (i.e. for the Galaxy- and Sovereign-classes, etc.).
Performance:
To have the game set as it is in the screenshots with 6X FSAA, 16X FSAF, and 32-bit textures, you'll need a graphics card with no less than 256MB of memory and and fast processor - an old FX5200 likely won't do it. To have the game set as it is in the screenshots along with speculars enabled (speculars are not toggled on in many of the screenshots but are included for persons with ultra-high-end systems), you'll need a very powerful 256MB graphics card, preferably a card that utilizes GDDR3 memory and that has a processor speed of above the 400 MHz of the X700PRO - an X850XT or 7800GT or 7800GTX would do nicely, or even dual 128MB 6600GTs or 256MB 6800GTs.
Also, in order to increase performance, it is possible to allocate more system memory to the game via adding a memory heap size to the end of the command line. I have heard from Collective Alliance members that this technique works; it goes as follows:
In the properties window for Bridge Commander(you can find this by right-clicking on "Star Trek Bridge Commander" in the Start Menu and then selecting "Properties" with the left mouse button) will be a modifiable command line parameter, which can have extra shit typed into it to affect various applications; for example, typing " /developer" (no quotations) at then end of either Max Payne games' command line parameters will enable cheats in-game via pressing the tilde key and entering codes.
Anyway, any application, especially a demanding game like Half-Life 2, Far Cry, Doom 3, or Bridge Commander now that you have this mod installed, can utilize a memory heapsize in order to allocate more system memory to the application and therefore increase performance when the application is running.
To do this, go to the "Properties" window, and in the box next to "Target:" is the route to "stbc.exe", the program responsible for making Bridge Commander work; the line should say something like: "C:Program FilesActivisionBridge Commanderstbc.exe".
Now you can and should heap just below half of your system memory to Bridge Commander; if you have 512MB of system memory then 248MB would be a decent heapsize for the game; you would set the heapsize like this:
"C:Program FilesActivisionBridge Commanderstbc.exe" -heapsize 253952
where the heapsize is measured in kilobytes(kB) and is written exactly as the example above; recall that byte prefixes do not follow standard base 10 SI rules and are in base 2, so one kB is precisely 1024B and one GB is precisely 1024MB or 1048576kB or 1073741824B; for a system with the recommended 2GB of system memory, a good heapsize would be 992MB and look like this:
"C:Program FilesActivisionBridge Commanderstbc.exe" -heapsize 1015808
You absolutely CANNOT be at or above one half of your total system memory because if you are then your computer will automatically restart when you attempt to run Bridge Commander, and you won't be able to run Bridge Commander until your heapsize is re-adjusted to below half of your system memory.
Be sure to check out the "Extras" RAR archive as well........

Posts: 369 | If you got the black screen then you didn't follow the installation instructions; also you should delete the PYC files entitled "Foundation" and "FoundationMenu" if they exist before you run the game after installing the mod - Foundation Triggers and the SDT will cause lots of problems if this isn't done; you should also delete any PYC files out of "scripts/Custom/Autoload". |

Posts: 8 | I really love this mod... for single player... I have 2 things: 1 is a bug... the other is a question :
1) the bug... I noticed that some ships are not showing up in the targeting icons... on the upper left, mainly the Sovereign... there are others... can't remember what ships .
2) is it possible to replace the Federation Starbase with the Federation Starbase repalcement v2?
Also I notices that when you're at the FedStarbase real crappy FPS and I have a 2.8ghz computer and a Nvidia Geforce 6800 GT OC graphics card. Can this be fixed? That is really annoying/// but a minor issue....... but overall this mod.....  |

Posts: 102 | This is a fantastic mod.....but.... it completely ruins the *game*.
You realy need to sort out ship balance - BC is a game, as such it should be fun to play.
A Defiant being capable of destroying any other federation ship in a single salvo is just plain ridicullous.
Infact, alot of ships carry enough firepower to destroy pretty much every other ship in just a single salvo.
Forget the 'real' 'cannon' 'facts' - and make this mod into a game worth playing (rather than just taking pretty screenshots in) |
CaptainCook
Joined: May 1st, 2005
Posts: 369 | Yeah the Defiant's firepower is a little bit excessive; however I don't see any problems with the other ships - please spare me your complaining - I don't want to hear it; if you've got a problem with the Defiant's firepower, fix it yourself; if you know what you're doing then it shouldn't take more than 2 minutes to adjust. . . . |
AbU5e

Posts: 102 | It is intended as constructive criticism.
From a gameplay point of view no ship should carry enough firepower to destroy (or fundamentally) cripple an opposing identical ship in just a single salvo.
This problem is evident with many (if not all) of the ships.
The changes to the torpedo's dmg, speed and accuracy remove all skill from the weapon - and as 80% of the firepower of federation ships is due to the torpedo's, it makes for very short and very dull battles.
No more targetting sub-systems, no more aiming your torpedoes, no more evasive maneuvers, invariably you just sit there hammering fire.
And please, don't sit there and say 'fix it yourself, its a 2 minute job'
Balancing 30+ ships so they accurately depict the relative strengths as shown in the films & series is a huge job - months of work.
If you managed to do this; it would turn a short-lived mildly interesting mod into a mod I would play heavily for a long time to come.

I'd say - Best I've done with the Defiant is 14 Ambassadors in around 4 minutes. |

Posts: 110 | Mate u've done a really good job here but i gotta bring 3 things to ur attetion. A) most gamers can't afford the high-spec systems that you and i have , prehaps you should produce a version that isn't so intense on your avergie middle of the range CPU B) the instillation instructions are so complicated that even your averidge software geek can't do it let alone joe-blogs gamer out there ,again prehaps you should try using an auto-installer . Having said all that it's still a great mod but beware alot of people will use the kobayshu maru pack and install ships using BCMI and BCMP and u will not get alot of the credit u diserve. Finnally could u release as a pack prehaps all the ships included in the mod so its easier for other people to a) install them seperately and B modify them.
all tht said still agreat mod look foward to the next installment |

Pros: Great models all put into one mod. Smooth installation.
Cons: Federation ships way too overpowered. Not the biggest fan of the torpedoes. Also, I'd like to see more ships for other species. No Dominion forces?  Finally, no shuttle launching framework

Posts: 1 | I agree, the procedure is a bit complicated to set this thing up.
Suggestion for your next version: create a batch file or set of batch files that make all of the necessary adjustments for the end user. (i.e. deleting directories, copying files, etc.) It doesn't have to be rocket science to install the thing, just some good old DOS commands should get the job done  |

Posts: 7 | Great mod of course, but is it possible to make it work with Fed. starbase replacement 2.0?
I've tried it myself and it almost worked, but there were some "flying and blinking rectangles" above the station... I didn't manage to remove them...
And about the firepower... maybe "let's say double" the hull and shields on all objects in the game would help... |

Posts: 7 | Never mind I've got it working... the last problem with the federation station is
in episode 3 mission 1... due to different orientation of space doors in the station you can't undock... this will need the EP3M1 script to be fixed(changed)... |

Posts: 369 | Yes I tried to use the starbase replacement V2.0 for this mod - I even rotated the starbase to the correct position in the game world but things were really screwy - sometimes the Sovereign would wobble before it undocked or it would crash into stuff - also the scale of that starbase is different so Kiska won't allow you to warp right after undocking - you'll have to fly several more kilometers after undocking because she'll say you're still in the starbase.
Perhaps V3.0 will have the V2.0 scripted in. |

Posts: 369 | It's the CR Nebula that I did a while back only with better canon registries and a new "Bonchune" variant (just the weapons pod variant with the outer 3 rings of saucer windows included) and several more named vessels; I've also gone back over all of the CR Nebula meshes and freed them of all smoothing errors or other mesh errors, so these should be close to perfect for a CGI/canon amalgam.

Posts: 369 | It probably would; your graphics card is the most important thing for running this mod, especially with the new BC Super Mod V3.0, which will be out in a month or so. In the meantime you will be able to enjoy my new-and-improved Galaxy kitbashes and a CR Nebula expansion pack that includes 3 new variants.

Posts: 1 | Gotta agree with a prior poster here. Looks great, nice selection, but ships are all too powerful. No chance to maneuver or jockey position when you are wiped out by the first barage.
Could be really great if you toned it down a bit. |

Posts: 1 | Very Nice, I must congratulate you on all your hard work on maintaining the essence of Star Trek in your designs. The models look and handle great. I have never finished the actual game, I lost my patience on one of levels and threw my mouse at the cat (ironic!). I normally just play the QuickBattle mode (that way the cat is safe!). I have tried many mods in the past but this is the best looking, complete ship package i've seen. I did not want to come on and criticise your efforts but was wondering if you would be balancing the ships differently in your next version? Star Trek to me has always been more exciting when you have prolonged battles and can blow away chunks of your enemy ship. Also, I would like to take in the splender of your ship designs longer during a battle.
Your instructions for installing the Mod were very clear, the only difficulty I had was remembering how to use the Mod installer ( cutting and pasting your TGLs into the mod folder, then clicking update TGLs)
My computer crashed because of the resolution, and i think i saw a wisp of smoke come out the back!!! Always a good sign 
Star Trek - the way Star Trek should be  !!!
Regards

Posts: 3 | I've been hoping to find a mod like this, that adds bunches of the great separate mods to the game all at once. It is otherwise very tough to get it all working right, and I never could figure out how to get single player to work with them. This supermod overhauls just about everything. It's like a new game and ships look like studio models now. I really like the re-done bridges too. Incredible stuff has been made for BC over the years!
However, I too must say that the new ships are out of balance. For example, in the early mission where you go to answer a Cardassian distress signal and get attacked by a Rom Warbird, I get trashed almost immediately by the first volley when they decloak. Even with 125% shields. I finally managed to beat it after 4 tries, by setting evade immediately. But after that, I just melted the Warbird down like scrap metal in a few minutes. Basically, whoever gets the first shots to hit, wins.
Then in the next mission with the Ferengi smuggler and Cardies, I can't defend the Ferengi at all when the Cardies come back. Before I can even attack one of the Cardies, they blow up the Marauder. Maybe it can be done in some way. Don't know yet.
Ships are just too powerful and weak at the same time. All the extra canon weapons hardpoints allow massive damage to be quicky administered (hehe), but the shields and hull aren't properly balanced to match it. I think a doubling of shield strength would do the trick. Hull should be weak, but shields should take more punishment than they do.
This balance issue wouldn't be nearly as annoying if the game had a proper save mechanism. It's insane to replay 5-10 mins of corny cutscenes just to try again..... But hey, that's Totally Games' stupid game design and is out of your hands I imagine... |
