Guest Zach Gaskins Posted March 2, 1999 Report Share Posted March 2, 1999 On a slightly serious note, here's some of the things I would like to see in the sequel:Dashboard/Rearview Mirror Tokens: I should be able to configure for each support vehicle whether or not I want: 1) Fuzzy dice, 2) My GALCOM Academy graduation tassel (Class of 3016 baybee!), 3) A hula dancer, or 4) A crown-shaped air freshener.I'd also like to have a wide variety of voices to pick from when configuring my crew, or the ability to use my own WAV files for different things. I have this dream of putting Maverick and Goose into IC-1 and hear them talk it up during a huge battle, or maybe reducing my stress over what Paul does...if he could sound like Drill Sergeant Hartman from "Full Metal Jacket". I could take the bad news easier that way. Perhaps the ability to name my support vehicles? I can then name SC-4 (where I put contraband that I <RP>confiscate from raiders and criminals</RP> ) "The Sinmobile".Just want to brainstorm on little details that don't require much to include, but would help to personalize each commander's experience, make it more personal (To know your crew's individual personalities and such, means you'll want to protect or neglect them that much more!)------------------ Cmdr.

Supreme Cmdr Posted March 2, 1999 Report Share Posted March 2, 1999 Dunno about the dashboard artifacts, but you will be able to configure keyboard commands, personnel names and voicefx via a config file. You will also be able to change all the personnel images with your own. In that case, you would want to use your own image for the commander etc.I'll get back to you about the fuzzy dice and the other artifacts.

Guest Posted March 2, 1999 Report Share Posted March 2, 1999 At last! We have confirmation of the customisation issue...*grin*. I can't wait to create my "ultimate" crew. Red Dwarf quotes are going to sound mighty weird on a BC bridge."Marines ready for combat deployment.""That was a necessary comment, and needed to be said..."(150 RP points to the first person to complete that Red Dwarf quote. Yes - I'm feeling playful today. *grin*).------------------ Commander DeSylva GCV First Light ISS01 -=- ISS Fleet Coordinator www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arena/9206/iss/ Official BC3K Tester and Blind Man With Sleeves award winner "Serve - with honour."

Well done. you get the points. *grin*.I have just receieved Zach's info about the IFTCC. I will convert it and place it in the GALCOM Groups and Factions Intelligence Report.

Pandora Posted March 2, 1999 Report Share Posted March 2, 1999 I see that the fuzzy dice subject has surfaced again. <g>This thread must have gotten lost in the forum conversion so here is the original Compuserve post. quote: #: 21390 S18/*HOT*: BC3KAD (CIS:FSCOMBAT) 21-Mar-97 20:30:04 Sb: BC3k design flaws Fm: Pandora 101617,3425 To: Derek Smart 71334,2207 Replies: 0 TID: 3054 Par: 0 Chd: 0 Sib: 0 Sorry, but with release C4 out and C5 in the barrel, I didn't have any new bugs to report lately.This didn't keep me from investigating the gameplay issues, though. - Both the BC's bridge and the IC's cockpit don't have a rear window. The BC has all virtual reality displays which don't count and the IC has nothing at all. There is no good place to put the gun rack.- I can not blow up a jump point or flux field.- I can not see my BC when it is cloaked.- Even is the commander is female, there is no option to assign a marine to captain's quarters. It doesn't work, even if the marine is 'prepped for combat'.- I want to have a personalized registration plate for the BC, like NO-BRAKE.- The BC can not perform a bootlegger reverse.- I want a Fireball and Heal spell.- The tractor beams do not work on planets.- The commander's seat doesn't have a glove compartment for the sidearm.- There is no 'airlock' location which I can assign personnel to, so I cannot make prisoners 'walk the airlock'.- I cannot paint the BC the way I used to in Red Baron.- Both the BC's bridge and the IC's cockpit don't have a rear view mirror. I put my fluffy dice on the command console, but it kept falling off during tight turns.- I looked through the BC's floor plans, but I couldn't find any bathrooms.- The ships that show up in red on the Tacscan keep shooting and killing me. I didn't find an option to turn this off on the config screen.- I have all sorts of stuff on this BC, but not a *single* Battlemech! Please let us use Battlemechs on the planet surface. (Even ATATs or ATSTs will do, since there are no trees on the planets.)- If this BC is such a hot piece of equipment, then *where* is the CD player??? It is even more important for the IC's, because I want to play the Top-Gun or Iron Eagle soundtrack there. - The Nurse Grope Module (NGM) seems to be disabled in the GA version, even if the *commander* is in Medibay.- I can not blow up planets even with a full cargo hold of OTS weapons. They are by far to weak.- If I taxi an IC and run over a marine (or land a SH on one), there is no blood spraying on the windshield. Very unrealistic. It is completely out of my comprehension how such an incomplete program could have ever shipped. <gd&rvvvvvf>Pandora writing at 19:57 Bavarian Time on 21-Mar-97 Alas, this post caused another development delay... quote: (Derek) I laughed so hard, I _really_ fell off my chair and accidentally hit the keyboard on my other machine causing a 15 min compile+link to end! ...but such is life! <g> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Mojo Posted March 7, 1999 Report Share Posted March 7, 1999 Cooooool. Customisable voices. I can barely wait. Just think, your bridge crew can now consist of 'Johnny Bravo', 'Hank, the angry, drunken dwarf', and 'Eric Cartman'. (BEEFACKE!) Any chance that the bridge view background image can be in a editable format? I couldn't explain how much fun I could have with that. Well, maybe I could. Picture this: The bridge now resembles the inside of a late '70s school bus (The short kind), or just make minor modifications to it, a piece of ducttape here, a spatch of spackling there, some empty beer bottles in the corner, a keg next to navigation... I also think we need the ability to recruit 'special' marines. You know the Private Pyle type (also from Full metal jacket), that Resing could use as his personal whipping boy. (and leave me the heck alone.)And maybe if we're lucky and Resnig get's 'carried away' Pyle will pop a cap in his unbalanced ass.Oh well.

Pandora Posted March 7, 1999 Report Share Posted March 7, 1999 > Cooooool. Customisable voices. I can barely wait.Err... why do you wait? DL the GBS and read SOUNDFX.TXT. Create some WAV files of your own and place them in the SFX directory. (Use main dir if that doesn't work)Good luck in figuring out file formats and somesuch but that's the beauty of 'unsupported'.

Andergum Posted June 7, 2000 Report Share Posted June 7, 2000 hehe... I have found that Star Fleet Armada, and Forsaken have some really cool sounds that work well in BC3K. Forsaken has some especially good sounds for explosions and hull impacts remember to format them correctly of course.Also, along with the Nelson "HA HA" sound , I have found that a burp sound does not work well for your IOD. Its cool for about 10 seconds or so.. but the burp gun gets old pretty fast ------------------ Cmdr. Andergum Spectre Fleet Pre. comm. Cmdr.
