[MOD] Capital Ship Bridge

[Nanook]

Great, immersive mod. I find myself just standing in the front a lot, enjoying the view. Thanks for giving us this, it's so much better than standing in a docking bay.

However, one thing grates on me. Those announcements. They're way too loud, and they don't jibe with anything that's going on, oftentimes quite the opposite. Please, can you give us a toggle to turn them off?

[Litauen]

Announcements are just to create the mood. When ship is under attach, announcements will tell that shields are going down, then hull. When ship is boosting - announcements tells this also.

[Nanook]

Sorry, I find they spoil the mood. They're too loud, much louder than the normal voices. And as I said, they don't ever seem to correspond to what's actually going on. For example, I was told by the announcer that I had too little fuel to jump, while I was in the process of doing just that, and had a full tank. All I'm asking for is a way to turn them off. Personally, I find most of the voices in the game a bit annoying. I love the bridge mod, but really don't like the voice. A toggle, please?

[Litauen]

I don't know how to do this as an option. Maybe if more experienced modders could suggest something without editing files, then I could do this.

Hard way is to extract mod files and delete ../md/Bridge_Announcements.xml

--

Another idea - create dummy mod and inside it create folders/file /extensions/Litauen_Capital_Ship_Bridge/md/Bridge_Announcements.xml

inside delete cues/cue name BridgeAnnouncements with xml remove statement (can't write exact text from the head)

That way this dummy mod will disable announcements in the Bridge mod.

Code: Select all

Update: 2.04 Guns

Found some models in the files. I love guns. Gave them to the bridge NPCs.

Boosting annoncements do not work at home, is this normal ?

[Litauen]

Please explain "at home". What is this?

[ImTranKill26]

Excuse for my bad english, Boosting annoncements do not work for me.
I never have messages for the boost with the mod.
Is this normal ?

Epic addition

[Aken_Bosch]

Well you can now boast in the description that the Capital Bridge mod is Windows-ready

Awesome "little" addition, I've just enjoyed a trip from Maelstrom to Fields of Opportunity watching the scenery pass by my side window...the only glitch is that you can also see the hangar from the outside through the windows, but it doesn't detract from the experience, and I'm also aware of the limitations you have to cope with in your work (also, seeing from outside the trick you used for adding the hangar room, I think I understood why it lags so much compared to the rest )

Another little note, I can confirm that the dynamic galaxy map may not work in languages different from English...it updated correctly in every sector I've visited before, but didn't work when I entered Fields Of Opportunity, probably because it's the only sector with its name translated (in Italian it's "Campi di Opportunità", while Albion, Omicron Lyrae, Devries and Maelstrom stay the same)...just to let you know

Heya Litauen

Again nice work with the walkway, although I found several bugs since the change, some minor, some major.


The major bugs I found was:

* Getting stuck at several points at the walkways, both left and right, you can move, jump or anything, have to leave the bridge and dock again.

* In the corridors with the windows, you getting pulled outside thru the doors(both doors and both sides), after that you getting stuck on the outside of the ship/door and cant get in to the corridor again, have to leave the platform.


And a sidenote, on the right side room when you come up from the landing platform is a development/process room of some kind, why dont change that to the bunk room, with showers, beds etc. Since the diner area is on the opposite side?.



Best Regards

About the translations. I want to compare macros, but none of this works for me:

<do_if value="player.sector.macro == 'cluster_b_sector04_macro'">
<do_if value="player.sector.macro eq 'cluster_b_sector04_macro'">
<do_if value="player.sector.macro.ismacro.{macro.cluster_b_sector04_macro}" />

maybe more experienced modders can suggest how to check for macro?

[UniTrader]

the last one should work afaik, the two first can not because a macro is not a string.
try one of this:
player.sector.macro == macro.cluster_b_sector04_macro
or this may work, too
player.sector.macro.id == 'cluster_b_sector04_macro'
