Title: Kilrathi Use Terran Messages
Post by: Jake2447 on July 11, 2009, 11:36:28 pm

I am making a mission for Saga that uses Scooby's ships.  Its a standard patrol mission.  I figured out how to use autopilot and the mission works great.  My problem is that Kilrathi ships use Assassain's built in message (I guess for the WC4 missions/demo).  Ex: When I kill a Gothri it shouts "I'm pulling the cord, wish me luck." Do i need to remove the WC4 demo to get rid of this?

Why not just check 'disable built-in messages' for the Kilrathi ships under FRED?

You need to assign the correct persona for the Kilrathi Fighteres. Wingman 7 - 11 are Kilrathi, 12+13 are Pirates. For the rest take a look into the message.tbl located in the core.vp

Thanks, this works perfectly.

EDIT: This brings up another question.  After looking in the messages.tbl, I saw all of the built in messages.  Is there a way to FRED those messages in (specifically all clear)?

It's dead easy.

1. Create a regular message in the event editor
2. Copy text and file name from messages.tbl to the messages editor. You are done. ;)

Thanks for the help.  More random questions as I begin learning to FRED with Saga...

Are there any interface graphics for command briefings in Saga.  The mission I'm working on has a command briefing but it appears in the default FS2 interface.  I plan to use command briefings to add a character driven element to the mini-campaign I'm working on, but if there is no interfac art I may try something else.

To get the Kilrathi death screams for Kilrathi ships, you need to change the personas of the Kilrathi ships.

Tolwyn posted a list of personas and comm headz here (http://www.crius.net/zone/showpost.php?p=336116&postcount=3).

Nope, sorry. We didn't used it in the prologue, so therefore we didn't make a new artwork for it

But a full interface set is ready for the full game. ;)

Yeah, released in 2669 (Dezember, wasn't it ? :) ) So a little patience is required :D
