  • My thoughts go where no one knows to tread.
I have a little question, like. We all know that in Wing Commander, you didn't have much to say about your loadout (Wing Commander 3/4 being very notable exceptions, yet guns were never subject to change - let's all leave Privateer alone for now). Can I assume this is implemented in the mod? Good. :p Dare I ask how?
I can't go home again until I find a stone a rose a door.
Choo choo, and that is the truth.

right now change in your loadout is not possible.

Reasons:

first: you are just a 2nd Lt.
second (and far more important): if missile selection would be enabled ot would also allow selection of different gun types.

Sad, but true.

But how about giving access to the loadout sometimes, and then
we can simply give no available guns through FRED.

However, Player could remove a weapons from it's own ship or take a gun from a wingmate. On second thought, bad Idea. Darn, I was hoping for a way of selecting your missile-loadout.

Guess we have to add another argument to our "needed code-change"-list.:(

Isn't there weapon specific slots in the SCP? if so, I don't think that would be a pb, since you can mount that gn, and only taht gun, on that particular hardpoint.

Well, that would be the solution.

But I never heard anything about that, you sure it is implemented ?
Our wish-list has already 14 marks, and I don't want to hope for
another wish to be fullfilled.

The real solution is for different primary slots and secondary slots to be able to have a different set of allowable weapons.

That'd be interesting in it's implications for FreeSpace as well as for Wing Commander.  Star Wars may run into a similar problem with planes like the Y-wing which can carry either lasers or ion cannons.

I'm 99% sure there is bank specific loadout impleneted in SCP. Just ask Kazan. If there's one who knows it's him.

It is implemented. Just have several "lists" like you have with secondareis.

It remains not applicable in this case, though :(.  A 2nd Lt. wouldn't get to choose his loadouts.

Is it really possible? How has it to be specified in the tbl?

I was thinking more about possibility to locj primary weapons banks...

hey Moonsword, could you please redo following lines?

The wellington-voices for demo-mission1 sound different from
the others. They should be rerecorded to reach the tone (and
emotion) of the other files, escpecially

d_01_wellington_01.wav (strange toning from the actor at the end)
d_01_wellington_03.wav (strange toning)

Oh, sure, no problem.

Is that list of files that of those I need to rerecord or the ones I need to match?

EDIT: Okay, I see what you mean, no problem.  I'll have 'em up by tomorrow afternoon.

btw, as far as I recall you have rerecorded some lines for our main campaign. Which ones are new and which ones are old? Since you have uploaded all lines again I can not figure it out... at once

Yes it is implemented and no I don't know exactly how to do it but yes there is a way and its been in since many versions ago.  I figured you guys were already using it and the Lieutenant thing was the reason for the loadouts being locked.

Keep in mind that WC: Saga may spawn additional missions where the loadouts may or may not be locked and you may or may not be a Colonel and able to choose loadout :)

Or be in a situation where you're given some discretion about your loadout.

I think it's simply along the lines of;

(forget the exact synatx)

$primary banks: ("Prom") ("Kayser")
Where bank 1 has the Prom allowed and bank 2 has the Kayeser allowed.  And soforth where applicable (i.e. cna have 2+ brackets for the default & allowed entries), including the sbanks.

if you only specify two secondary banks the third (and fourth) will be set to what the first is.
and I believe that is the corect syntax.
this has been enabled sence 3.5.. though somewhat broken untill 3.5.1
