Yes but is 1600x1200 supported by your monitor? 1600 across, and 1200 high? I thought (looking at Desktop Pics thread, hehe) that your Desktop had a vertical resolution of 900.
(sorry veering offtopic for a sec) but ya, my resolution normally is 1400x900; however i do have options for higher resolutions, but i just dont like the way they look...
ah well...  i was just curious as to why BigKap couldnt access 1600x1200 res for BC; i would have assumed a larger monitor than mine would be able to...

OK, I edited it in wordpad and it worked fine up until the Nano load screen just before the bridge comes on. Then I got some sort of error report saying that the syntax is invalid and caused an error and then it just stalls at that load screen.
Could they have made a more sensitive game lol?
what did the error say about the syntax exactly?

It says

Syntax Error: invalid syntax

Also, I changed the res to 1600x1024 but i guess as default it says my res is at 1600x1200 in the main screen. Not sure if it matters or not, but at that res I also can't get to the mutators scroll to turn the rest of them on because the bottom of the screen is cut off there.

Could you attach your options.cfg?

can you post a pic?  most likely installing UMM will fix that, if you dont have it installed or dont have a KM install...

Try this:
You may want to back your previous Options.CFG file up, just in case.

Well, we can fix that one.

Attach scripts/Custom/Carriers/Picard.py


Also, if you do Print Screen, then you can also paste in Paint.
And if you press Alt+PrintScreen you will only get the currently focused window.

Thanks! I can get ingame now. I think I'm going to have to view it at 1280 though, as the bottom scrolls are all cut off:

No worries. If I have to, I'll lug in my old crt. It's chunky, but it gets the job done :wink: Thanks again for all your efforts fellas!
