I need to know a couple of things more, what do you mean exactly with "what I am installing it into"? You mean, a specific directory (like on Vista), or an external drive? A USB Pen drive?

[Phoenix Bondi]

im installing it on windows xp service pack 3, i mean what installing it in order MOD wise, as i really wanna enjoy my bc again lol thanks

[MLeo]

Ah, now I see, into BC (you didn't mention what into you wanted to install, if you had said into it, then it would have been fine, but you left that important part out ).

It's more or less what you define with "laggy".
I still doubt it that a 40 vs 40 battle of high poly ships is going to work, even on a machine that can run Crysis on supermax.

[Phoenix Bondi]

well even one on one ships where laggy, i was told i didnt have the right mods installed in order and stuff and it coursed some curruptions, so what i would like is an install order for mods i really should have to really enjoy bc once more

Interresting, the entire point of Moores Law, was that "if you need performance, wait".

Considering you told us that your computer can handle anything you can throw at it, then why can't it handle some old ship?

What mod are you testing?
It isn't CGSovereign 1.0 + Really Ultra High Textures, is it?



As for order, v1.1 Patch, Foundation, and then things get a bit messy, since order doesn't matter that much.
I'd say (if you don't opt for KM1.0), NanoFXv2 Beta, Unified Main Menu, BP Core, Foundation Technologies (read the comments, specificly look for one of mine), and then whatever ship you want to use.

so where do all the ablative armour and shuttle launch, plus mvam come in?

oh plus all them new galaxy charts ect??

[MLeo]

What type of Ablative Armour "normal" or End Game? The first is in FoundationTechnologies, second, can't remember.

Shuttle Launch is a seperate mod, and so is MVAM, and so is Galaxy Charts, make sure you check the various threads in the tech support forum after you install that.

so is it a possibility to have a list of everything i need?

There should be a list stickied at the top of the Download forum.

Well, the problem is, you can mix and match anything you like! There isn't one "way to do it and no other".

There is a list in the Downloads forum, but I believe KM has most of that in it (if not all).
