Title: What IS this?
Post by: Unidan on May 25, 2001, 08:37:00 pm

I was exploring the strings.tbl to input something funny, like these-

"%s was killed by a collision with space crack"

"You have killed yourself (naw! really? Ya think?)"

"Shivan mandibles stuck in drive. Cannot warp out until they're unclogged."


Then I found these-

177, "Your fighter is running out of oil.  Please check under the\nhood and add more if necessary"
178, "Freespace is very tired.  It is shutting down to get some rest."

Now how does this happen-
"%s was killed by sub-space assembly overload"

How do I get a sub-space assembly overload? In all my hundreds of hours playing FS2 this has never happened!

If Undian is playing Twilight, that can happen  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) (sub-space overload that is, mandibles might be in the sequel  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif))

Hit Alt-F4 when entering subspace.  Error message flashes up.

That's pretty funny. IIRC, there is some joke about Volition and Outrage near the beginning of one of the tbls.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

 (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/v.gif) didn't do that, I did! It won't say that in your strings.tbl. Just check it out.
