No scripts yet, but we still got general chatter!

[DaBrain]

Until we know how many thing will be possible via scripting (like the barrel roll), Axem can't complete the script for the training mission, cause this would have be a part of the training.


Anyway, there is still the general chatter FS2 uses.
"Affirmative"
"Check you six"
"Enemy ships incomming"
... and the like.

I'd like to see them redesigned to be more starfox-ish and it would be even better to get them done before we start the voice acting for the other few missions.

What do you think?

[Taristin]

Nice flying, Fox!

[strike911]

what are all of the commands for the general chatter in Fs2?

[DaBrain]

Those and lot more.

I'm looking for a table with the entries for this.


Edit: Check your root.vp.  It's the messages.tbl.


Forget about the things we won't need.

Alpha, beta, whatever wing arrive messages, repair messages and the like.

[strike911]

and we'll need these for Fox, Peppy, Falco, Slippy and ... any others?

[DaBrain]

I don't know if Axem needs a 'Command' replacement.

I guess might need Bill. Depends on AS. However I guess will we won't really need general chatter for him, but only unique dialogs.

[AqueousShadow]

Bill probably won't be flying alongside you enough to need his own general chatter. When he comes up, like DB said, he'll have his own unique dialogue.

The four members of Star Fox will need their general chatter, and for missions that he appears in, ROB64 will need to act as "command."

I posted this before in another voice acting thread a long time ago. Anyway this only leaves out the support ship chatter since we don’t have a support ship.

[Killfrenzy]

Okay, I'm having a bash at some Starfox-esque comm messages. I think we can get away with some direct references to Fox, as that's the controlled character.

Feel free to suggest changes...

Disarm = "We not fighting fair then?"
Engage = "Copy that, Fox."

Stray Final = "If you leave us Fox, you're in real trouble!"
Traitor = "Get him! He's on their side!!"

[AqueousShadow]

I wasn't sure if Fox would be controlling any wingmen in the first place.
Now don't get me wrong, this is a good list It's just that I wasn't sure if we were keeping that aspect of Freespace, since any of the other wingmates would be under someone else's control.
You wouldn't be having any Cornerian wingmen (unless you count Bill's forces) until the end of the campaign.

As for Command, it will always be ROB, so making his lines more robotic and technical would be better.

You did bring to light the part about Fox dying. One of the wingmen always said something when Fox died, so would that be FREDded, scripted, or something? In FS, no one says anything when you die. The game just tells you how you died. :lol:

[Killfrenzy]

Thing is, you can't cut the wingman chatter entirely. They'll still be saying things like 'hostiles incoming' etc etc.....

[Axem]

There's an option in FRED that lets you disable default built in messages, so we can make the wingmen be quiet if we want. And there might be some hope of having the Player Death message play (don't quote me on that though).

[Killfrenzy]

I suppose....still, I always found that no chatter from wingmen kinda made space feel....dead...

[AqueousShadow]

Well, we disable the stock wingman messages and insert our own.

Those wingmen messages are more general, whereas ours will be specific to Star Fox.

[strike911]

Yeah, lets just overhaul it all and replace everything with StarFox specific lines. I think that would be our best bet.
