Hey guys,
I wasn't sure which forum this should go on, so if it's in the wrong place, correct me/ move the thread, yeah?
I've noticed in a few mods and in my own work as well that when a custom made persona does not have the required message for a situation, it reverts back and uses one of the default persona messages. For example, Corey in BP: AoA does not have a custom message for calling in a support ship, and just now I was playing a mission and it was quite the immersion-breaker when he suddenly yelled out in a completely different voice (not to mention a different .ani) "My systems are going berserk! Calling in support!"
Should this be happening/is there a way to fix it?

[16:57] <CommanderDJ> What prompted the decision to split WiH into acts?
[16:58] <battuta> it was long, we wanted to release something
[16:58] <battuta> it felt good to have a target to hit
[17:00] <RangerKarl> not sure if talking about strike mission, or jerking off
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> WUT
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> hahahahaha
[17:00] <battuta> hahahaha
[17:00] <RangerKarl> same thing really, if you think about it

Yep, that's exactly what it should do.

If you replace a persona you should replace all of it or turn off built-in messages.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

What you say makes sense if they were replacing parts of an already existing persona, but they've created an entirely new one. Should that still happen?

Corey does a line for calling in a support ship.

Well, I'm not lying to you. Unless it was Taylor that suddenly uttered a male line... that'd be even weirder! Maybe that was it. I'm going to have a look in the table files.

EDIT: They have lines for "rearm", but not for "repair". It was the "repair" line that was said by the default persona.
