Confirmed.  Briefing voices play but not the command briefings. 

Just took a look in FRED.  While the sound file are referenced they are not in the VP.  So they are either missing or were never made.

Yeah i confirmed the missing voices too. I noticed one thing too I can install all the game even if the installer says i haven't enough place(i only have 2.5g of free space when i do it).And for the planet in Drum of War i can send you the fixed planet becoz i redone the the vp core (becoz i got an old fx 5200) to check the missing mipmaps the problem i'm too lazy to check the filename

hey guys, the EMW command briefing voices did not play since 3.3  :rolleyes:   I never even knew they had voice-files:lol:

FUBAR, what do you mean by shockwave flag? Under special explosions? If yes, problem is I also have some extra sexps creating more shockwaves which are not displayed...

Yea that is the flag I meant.  I never tried using the sexp.  If there is a problem with that add what it is doing to my Mantis report.

Ah, then my memory wasn't failing me. What seems to be the problem, are the files not included in the VP or in the wrong directory ?

I took a look in both the EMW VP and the Core VP and didn't see them in any directory.  I guess that would make them MIA.

Ok, I'm digging up my old backup CDs with R1 and R2, they have to be somewhere.

EDIT: I checked R1 and there are no CB voices as well, so there probably never were any and my memory was tricking me.

I just checked EMW version 2.0 and there are no command briefing sound samples. The command briefings are text only.

Reinstated downloads since at this time we only have one trivial bug (shockwave).

Hello, not sure if this is the right thread to post this on but I've got a problem with the 3.4b release in that the game freezes shortly after the arrival of the breaching pods, in the 2nd (boarding party) mission of raider wars. I've tried reinstalling it, and tried using the TBP 3.4 release but the same thing occurs.
    I would be really grateful for any help as shooting bad guys in outer space is my favourite pastime.

Just gave that mission a run through and while I manged to screw up the mission again (disabled the carrier) it didn't crash.

If you do crash again post you system specs.

Well Kara didn't send me any code. I don't have time to set up CVS and become a proper coder. Kara doesn't know how to fix the bug. None of the other coders will touch Kara's TBP/BTRL specific build. So the answer is no.

If it's fixed in 3.6.10 I can probably port it. The problem with sending the code is that I'm not even certain that the null vector is the cause. It might be a completely unrelated bug.

I was doing some more thinking.   You said that the error is in FS2 as well but for some reason it works in FS2.  Could it have something to do with the 2D style shockwave effect in TBP?  The shockwave in FS2 is pretty much a sphere.  Think I'll try rotating that mine and see if it produces a different result.

Well that had no effect except changing the shockwave path.  Damage worked the same.

Does the special explosion data come from a table or is it just in the code?

A patch that should fix it is now attached to the bug (http://scp.indiegames.us/mantis/view.php?id=1638).  I'm still testing it myself, so I'm not 100% sure about what breaks or not (explanation of the problem is in the bug report now).  It's not going to be an issue for retail data, just for mods, but I'm going to play wait-and-see with it before committing.  If there doesn't appear to be any negative reports in an Xt build or two then I'll commit the fix at that point.


Oh, and null vector warning will never break anything (well, there is a 0.0001% chance I suppose).  It's something that happens constantly in the code but it's really not a big deal.  It gives us clues into some issues, but the warning message is just an indicator that the code automatically fixed any possible problem already.  It's annoying, but otherwise harmless.  In this particular case it's simply an issue of the the shockwave center being almost directly on the ship position.  Just FYI. :)

I didn't actually include it since I didn't know what it was for either. :D
