I just started another playthrough and when arriving at the cutscene were the Lucifer breaks through Earth' defenses I though the planetkiller theme would fit better.
So I extracted the mission and replaced the music in the events and the mission looks as if it was made for the theme.

The voice of the singer starts exactly as the Orion explodes. Perfect timing!
It makes a great and quite emotional cutscene even better.

Is there a reason why beams are not piercing the shields of fighters and bombers in BP? Is it a BP setting or the fact that I am using 3.6.12? Is there a custom flag for making beams pierce their shields? I think I remember that there used to be an option for that in the launcher. I searched for a solution in the wiki too but couldn't find it.

Shouldn't that be a feature included in the feature pack?

[Fury]

Yes and it is going away in the next version of 3.6.12 Feature Pack.

[Avatar]

Oh? I thought that was a necessary balance change. Not true?

[Fury]

Necessary is subjective. AAA beams are rather sparingly used in AoA and retail FS2 campaign, so it doesn't make any mission impossible. In addition, AAA beams pierce shields in WiH and mission balance is quite fine. I have however increased AAA beam miss rate for Insane difficulty a bit. So instead of saying the change was necessary, I should have had more faith in player adaptability. They're going to need that in WiH anyway, which is going to be harder than your average FS2 campaign.

Oh, come on, we've already seen how hard AoA is. How can WiH get any harder without being downright impossible?

[Fury]

AoA is hard?

[Kopachris]

AoA is hard?

If you're using the modified AI.  I think it's in the black market download (?)

[Colonol Dekker]

Hard? Not directors cut default, the original one was balanced just right though.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Well, not the DC, obviously. That was a cake walk compared to the first form of Forced Entry.

[Fury]

3.6.12 Feature Pack has been updated, available in the Black Market topic.

I've noticed a spot where there's no voice acting. It's the description for the Aurora in one of the early briefings. Is this an oversight? Or just a case of not worrying about it because the more important parts were dealt with. If the latter, I can always take a screenie and record a voice over for that for you.

[General Battuta]

Nope, we left those kinds of tech descriptions unvoiced because it broke immersion to have an Admiral or Captain narrate that information - pilots would probably look it up in a technical reference.

[CaptJosh]

Wasn't thinking of a captain or admiral narrating. Was thinking of a basic non-descript voice for a computer reader like on Star Trek, though I must admit, Majel's voice is hardly nondescript to me.

[Colonol Dekker]

Maybe Fred could use a tickbox to make certain stages readable by sam by default?
 
 
 

[Fury]

I wonder what this is?

It is a bit annoying if you have TTS enabled and Microsoft Sam suddenly kicks in on that stage.

However, it's not an oversight - we did decide during production to leave those types of stages unvoiced, much like many of the short failure debriefs. I suppose if an awesome enough narration turned up we could patch it in.

That's all well and good. . .
 
 
Does anyone fancy making a BP computer voice using speakonia, maybe goldwave to tweak the innotations?
