-- Adding inflight chatter... (http://volitionwatch.papageorgefamily/vwbb/showthread.php?threadid=8658)

Adding inflight chatter...

Since you are doing total conversion here, and doing sounds and stuff... And with the source code you should be able to increase the amount of inflight wingmen chatter. I think it is sooo stupid when your wingmen go around killing stuff blowing up Cains and so on without saying a word. But when Alpha 1 whacks a Basilisk they gongratulate you for doing such a heroic act. I liked the way the pilots babbled all the time in X-wing Alliance.
Though it was little annoying when about dozen pilots were crying at the same time about them damn turbolasers...

It doesn't feel right when a wingman dies and no one says a word. But, again, when player screws up and dies we have someone informing the squad about it.
I think I fixed this with events in Movements in the Mist... When wingman died screming, someone soon confirmed that we really got a pilot down. It sounded great me thinks. But adding all those messages manually is annoying. It would be great if the could be in the messages.tbl instead.

I would be nice if other pilots would comment their own doings instead of following what the player does. Don't you think?

So what do you think about this?

Oh ****! Those idiots did it.

Sounds good, its annoying that there is so low chatter in mids of combat. Report of wingman going down would add some more tensity on missions.

As good an idea as this is...suggesting it here is going to get less done than if you suggest it to the SCP guys on the HLP forums

I crossed my mind. But as I understand, you are making your own TBP build and not actually using the SCP one. And you are doing chatter anyway and half of this "operation" would be making those voices...

If it really is a good idea someone else will go to tell the code masters about, saving me the trouble. And if not, it really isn't that good idea anyway and I don't feel bad about it... well perhaps little
In any case, most of the inflght chatter comes from me yelling to the monitor.

Seriously it's a pretty good idea so why should only B5 get it? Why not get the SCP guys to do it so that we use it in B5 AND FS2?

How about trying to implement sounds from other games? I know that in falcon4 the pilots chat alot.

That would throw up so many copyright issues I don't think
it is worth it.

Damnit, thought I had a good idea, I've seen alot of mods using sounds from other games aswel and they didn't come unto any problems as far as I know, but if the copyrights issue bugs y'all then ok, forget the idea
