Topic: D3 Startup Checklist

[Monty]

Well its been almost a year since I've been on the D3.

I'll have a home broadband connection to call my own in the next 3/4 weeks.

So...

I've got my stock SFC3 disc.

Latest Direct X installed.

Latest Drivers installed.

Now patches:

I see v534 is out... are there any campaigns for 534 or is it still 531?

Anything I've missed?

ThePelican will have the first V534 camp, followed by Unity. V531/V534 play on the same Dyna, so if you have V534 loaded, you see them all.

I haven't heard what BattleZone and Island Wars are is planning as far as hard dates. BZ information can be found at http://www.battleclinic.com

IW infomations is here: http://islandwars.net/IWForums/

DW will be a 2-week engagement, Unity will follow (12 days) with the release of 70+ new ships and bases for the Pirate race (lots of EAW/OP conversions). Near Distant Future follows.

DW/Unity/NDF info is here:

There is Alternate Universe A and Alterante Universe B (just moved over from V500) ... both modded.

Info is here: http://www.sfc3alternateuniverse.com/

GAW and Litterbox just wrapped up.

Castrin's site is a good place for campaign backgrounds, download links and annoucements for all:

Here is a screenshot I took yesterday morning ... Gives you an idea what the Dyna looks like these days, patched and V531. Believe it or not, there is still a server on V500.

STOCK (Pre-patch) ...



V531/534



As this community shakes out, it seems we are more willing to play eachothers mods instead of segregating ourselves and playing with ourselves (did I say playing with ourselves  j/k)

Darn Gorn thing just creeped into my brain.

P.S. DeathMerchant used to manage a thread for us all on Taldren forums that was really nice. It was a sticky topic that kept us all to date.

Anyone seen DeathMerchant?

Thanks for that comprehensive post WaterTiger.

I look forward to getting back on the D3.

How busy do the servers get (v531/534)?

Lately, modded campaigns are fielding 30+ at any given time and more on weekends.

Alternate B (no "universe" in the middle) is now running the 534 patch. Full details of our server are available at our website http://www.beam.to/garreth or our forums, http://alternateb.proboards25.com.

The 534 patch may be downloaded from our website.

Like Tirus said...

If you want to go retro and play on a server the way the original Activision B should have been...this is the place.

A big thanks to Pestalence for making this possible...and to the folks at Taldren CA (even though it's gone) for the final gift.
