Title: no wingman reply
Post by: Tnn on March 26, 2006, 04:27:51 pm
I use SCP 3.6.7 to play DerelictSCP with all the voice packs. They all work fine except when I give order to wingmen, they don't reply, same as with re-arm command (though they do comply). What did I miss?

Also, why am I not allowed to search the forum?

Search function's shutdown for reasons of causing too much of a slowdown. It's being worked on, hopefully.

As for the wingmen, that's simply a result of "Disable Built-In Messages" having been checked off in FRED. Nothing to worry about.

But I want to hear them reply, to know my command is accepted. How do I turn it on (I know nothing about modding!)

You'd have to extract the missions from the VP file (using VPView, Link in the tool section of my FAQ) open them up in FRED, Go to the mission specs editor and untick the disable built-in messages option.

It's not hard but it would be repeatative.

If you really need to double check you can simply select the friendly and take a look what it's current orders are in the target box. I wouldn't worry about it though. If you can't give a command it won't appear in the comms menu.

Thanks guys, I'll live with it. I wonder why the authors of the campaign turn it off. It's more fun to have some interactions.

Probably because the built-in wingman personas don't match the Derelict characters very well. Even less so now that it's voice acted, you'd have two different voices with the same name on them.
