BC Technical Support / Re: A stupid question requiring confirmation

All of those issues can be fixed pretty easily. Most “compatibility patches” are just one or two lines of code. Once you get used to reading the console errors, you’ll know exactly how to create those fixes yourself.

BC Technical Support / A stupid question requiring confirmation

« Last post by lothos on October 12, 2025, 04:31:30 PM »

So I was having issues with ships running into scripting errors after I installed them.  With  some trial and error I think I have concluded that unless you are installing a "Remastered" ship/function/whatnot into an install with BC Remastered 1.2 that it will run into issues likely.

That said (Maybe because it's obvious to anyone but me) I have not actually found anything anywhere that outright says "Only "BC Remastered" branded ships work with BC Remastered"

So I thought I'd double check here.

BC Modding / Re: Need some help catching up

Ok, so while I'm also trying to figure out how discord groups work...

If I've understood what I've read so far; Remastered would be a decent way to get my single player fix for now, but may not be the best thing to start a new custom build on because of some script alterations? And the BCMM is intended to be a better base to build on for BC going forward?

How do I go about combining my old disc based custom install with the GOG version of the game? It says I need GOG Galaxy to install it and I'm feeling old and confused...

Thanks for your help!

BC Modding is not dead though, what we're working on if you are interested: https://bc-central.net/bcmm/

For example Omarion nebula battle 170 ships, don't think you've ever seen that before in BC

Oh, we're all on BC discord now, forums are more or less an archive now: https://discord.com/invite/AhN8a3KeP9

Oh! Haha I though it seemed a bit dead around here. Thanks!

Hi all, it's been a long road time!
I keep feeling the urge to get into bridge commander again after many years but things seem to have moved a long way since I was last in the loop and I am totally lost!

I’m hoping you guys might be able to answer some questions and help me get back up to speed… Plus help me decide between trying to resurrect my old custom install or start fresh with this newfangled ‘Remastered’ mod….

If you're old timer user then consider Remastered like having a bare bones install without any extra things. If I were you I'd use the custom install or start with KM based install.

GOG

I see Bridge Commander is now available from GOG, is this a legit disc-less version now? If so, is GOG the only place to get it?

My old custom install was built on the original CDrom version. I had the whole directory copied so that I could just copy the whole thing back over a fresh install from the disc. I’m assuming this wouldn’t work with a disc-less version?

Would I be able to just use the disc-less .exe file in my custom install or would it be more complicated to use my custom with it?

It's legit of course though technically I believe GOG applied the no-cd patch which is kinda hilarious in its own way. Other than that the games are the same just stock game + 1.1 patch + nocd patch inbuilt.

Remastered

Is ‘Remastered’ considered to be the best place to start with a new BC now?

In my build, I liked having specific ship ID’s for a Class (I think it was the skinning tool?). Does Remastered have this or will, for example, every instance of a Sov be the USS Sovereign or Ent-E?

Do the Dauntless and Sovereign have the correct registries in the single player?

Does Remastered require specific mod versions?

Think I covered that above.

Where best to download mods now

I’ve found multiple different mod sites for bridge commander, whereas it used to just be BC Files (it going down was one of the reasons I fell out of BC years ago). Where’s the best place to go now?

Gamefront: https://www.gamefront.com/games/bridge-commander

It's the old BCFiles actually restored.

Would anyone have an archive of the ATP Dimensions files to post?  The URLs on this thread are non-working as of this message.

Thanks!

I'm back, I've been feeling all nostalgic and see Tiber MKII is still hosted, my other old meshes are long gone, I stopped when my mom got cancer, have popped back in from time to time but I've been really having a hankering to fire up an old XP system with gmax and make stuff again, I don't think I've touched it since 2011ish

Glad to see your back in the Community.

Darkthunder is right, head on over to our BCC Discord- it's more active.. A lot of advances have been made since 2011. New Bridges, Bots, even game dynamics.
