Post by: Neon on January 02, 2002, 01:11:00 pm: You say that you got double ace first? Weird! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wtf.gif) Maybe it's an fs bug. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/squeeze.gif)
You probably had enough kills to get the double ace status, so the game gave you that rank, ignoring the ace status. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

(I'm triple ace (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif) )

Post by: karajorma on January 02, 2002, 02:29:00 pm: How does the ace system work anyway? I had a mission where I was already a double ace and got 33 kills and yet wasn`t given triple. The next mission I killed 12 and got the award. but I had 440 kills which is a fairly strange number for them to use (why not 400?)

Post by: CP5670 on January 03, 2002, 02:32:00 am: ugh, that doesn't sound too good. I think it may actually have something to do with the way FS calculates kills for awarding ace medals; if you go straight from under 60 to 150 or higher, it may end up getting confused and doing some strange things. (the Volition people probably never anticipated that missions with 91+ possible kills would exist (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif))

I actually lost all of my custom table files (intended for my campaign) when installing Twilight; I think Kazan's installer overwrote the ones I had in there. Since that time I have always kept two or three backup copies of the missions and mods (tables/effects/etc.) just to be safe... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

The number of kills required for the Ace badges are in data/tables/medals.tbl:

Ace: 60
Double Ace: 150
Triple Ace: 350

Post by: vadar_1 on January 04, 2002, 01:09:00 am: just extract the tables and change the numbers, simple as 1 kill 2 kills 3 kills!
