I decided to take a break from my... current project, to play Raider Wars again, to see the improvements since the last beta. During the 1st mission, I noted an ingame voice file was used twice, but one instance had a different text. After going though the mission in FRED and verrifying the voicefile, it seems that we have 2 files that have the identical content. Voice, Special wav files "rw 02 004.wav" and "rw 02 006.wav" are actually the same file, but the later should be something else based on the game text. I'm guessing that it was accidentally overwritten by the content from "004".
While I was in FRED, I decided to go though each mission and try to switch the ships referenced by the briefing icons to the correct ships. Obviously, because of the cumbersome nature of the existing icons table layout, I can't always match up ship types to what they should be. I stopped short of making any changes to the table itself, but I've been musing over a possible overhaul of the icons table code, which could be proposed to the SCP team once they release the official 3.6.7 build and lift the code freeze.
Also note, because of the name change of the Babylon 5 table entry in the Base 3.3 Beta, the final mission of RW cannot be played as is. Anyone playing RW under this beta should extract the last mission and fix this.
Later!
