The change is in Core, so if you can't download core, you won't get the fix. I would echo Goober5000 and recommend using Knossos.NET.
Alternatively, you can just go to Knossos\gamedata\Wing_Commander_Saga\Wing_Commander_Saga-0.9.6X\data\tables\messages.tbl and insert the required lines (see top post) around line 583, before InvincibleControl. It might not matter where it goes in the file, but that's where it is in both my modified file and the official 0.9.63 messages.tbl (I did a compare).
CT27:
I have some mostly good news to report.
I used Notepad to put in those three lines of text Sqpar posted in the messages tbl file. I tested for several missions afterwards (I'm now in the Cairo section of the campaign) and I'm no longer getting that Terran death audio/ani when a Kilrathi craft is destroyed.
However (this is what I meant when I said 'mostly' good news), since I put in that fix a few days ago, I no longer get any generic Kilrathi death audio/anis at all when their ships are destroyed. This isn't a huge deal and overall it's an acceptable tradeoff IMO, but I just thought I'd let you know.
FWIW, here's how I went about updating for these recent issues:
-After 0.9.63 was released, I manually downloaded and installed every file on the FSNebula WC Saga page except for Core and the two movie files.
-I used Notepad to manually edit in the fixes in for this issue and the Vega 5 issue from the other thread.
So it looks like I defacto have the 0.9.64 version of "Core" (that's the file the fixes were in from what I've been told), but the 0.9.63 version of all other files from the FSNebula WC Saga page. Should I bother manually updating the other files to 0.9.64?
Goober5000:
Try using Knossos.NET to update to 0.9.64, and add a whitelist exception on your antivirus for the core files.
CT27:
I tested the 0.9.64 version of Core from the FSNebula WCSaga page, and this time my family's computer didn't ring up a virus/trojan when it downloaded (whereas for some reason the 0.9.63 Core did). In a few days or so, I'll try downloading and installing all 0.9.64 WCSaga files from FSNebula and see if that changes things.
CT27:
Another update:
I downloaded all files manually from FSNebula for WC Saga 0.9.64 (no virus problems this time) and installed them and played a few more missions. There are a couple more Kilrathi death audio/anis this time around but still few in general (a lesser number than a few versions ago at least).
In general, the game works fine and this is a lot better than having Terran death audio/anis when you destroy Kilrathi.
