Tour Multiplayer Hook

[Bman]

Driftwood, you also have to setup trigger conditions (whatever you decide that to be) within the .tie mission file to activate *.wav files. If the wav files are mapped correctly based on the above, they will show in AlliED, but then you can assign conditions. i.e. 100% of FG "Beta" must arrive or Never True." And so forth. I don't use "Always True" as much because sometimes this logical statement doesn't guarantee an audio clip will play, based on my findings. Also for subsequent audio, you can use timer conditions such as "100% of Message "X" (the text) Must be Shown, or Never True" condition. (Again I avoid "Always True" but just my preference). Hope this helps.

[Driftwood]

Judging by the mission file those conditions are already defined, I just want to add an audio queue to it.

Havent had time to work on anything though XWA this weekend.

I'll use all this info asap, thanks.

EDIT: Made a mission named folder with the wavs, edited the .lst file to correspond, no spaces, ect. Still doesn't play wav files.

[Justagai]

Try taking another missions wav lst file and renaming it to the mission name and see if it plays any wavs. It's possible that your custom wav files are the issue.

[Driftwood]

Here's what I've been testing with.

Also, here is my library of generic comm sounds. Ideally if we can get these to play ingame, it'd help with more immersive missions and skirt around the issue of voice actors being necessary.

I haven't gotten around to testing these sounds yet, but I will soon.

In the meantime, I'm still working on this hook.

One of the changes I've implemented is how the target box color reflects the IFF hook. I'm going this route based on feedback but if there is backlash against it then I can revert to the white color.

Original:

New:

Another is selecting only flyable Rebel and Imperial Craft based on the craft category set in the FG of the mission.





There are many more changes and bug fixes so this is just a peek of what to come.

[ual002]

Looking forward to it.

[Justagai]

At this point the hook is nearly ready for release but there is a problem with the hangar part of the code. It collides with Jeremy's hangar hook unfortunately. Jeremy would you be able to add my code to your hangar hook? It only activates on multiplayer in which the hangar acts just like the XvT version.

[JeremyaFr]

Yes, I can do that.
What part of the code does it collide with?

[Justagai]

PM sent. Thanks again!

[JeremyaFr]

Hello,
Here is an update of the hangar hook to avoid a collision with the hangar reload function.

WIP:
EDIT: link removed


I've replaced the call hook to 457C20 with a hook at the start of the function itself.

[Justagai]

Confirmed that all is well now with the hooks. Thank you!

[Justagai]

The hook should be ready for release in the next few days. There is one thing I noticed however with the DSUCP install and my multiplayer hook. The combat engagements mission.lst file that it comes with is missing two // slashes at the top of the file. Without those slashes it would list a mission called "//" along with the others. Would you be able to fix that Darksaber?

[Darksaber]

I've just installed a fresh install of XWA with DSUCPv2.6 and the Multiplayer Tour Files

Here is what is written in the Combat Mission.lst

Just noticed the only thing I didn't replace was the v1.3 readme file it still states v1.2.1

[Justagai]

Hmm odd. It may have been a mistake on my end. I apologize.

[Darksaber]

No need to apologies, It would be good though if anyone else can confirm that the Mission.lst files in either the Mission or Combat folders have the // as the top line or not

[JeremyaFr]

When reading "mission.lst", does the game engine skip lines beginning with "//"?

When reading "mission.lst", does the game engine skip lines beginning with "//"?

Yes it does. But I believe it notes where an entry begins and ends. So if there is only one pair then it could have undefined behavior.

ual002 you're good with the issue, I think it was just something on my end that must have gotten replicated to my other XWA folders.

[Justagai]

Uploaded 2.0 finally. Also updated my Github.

EDIT: I've removed the Tactical Officer code so that a new separate hook can replace it. Jeremy if you want to give that a shot then go ahead, otherwise I can take a crack at it.

[Darksaber]

Just a heads up the readme still stats

Code: Select all

==================================================================================
X-Wing Alliance Tour/Combat Engagements hook for Multiplayer by Justagai (v 1.3)
==================================================================================

Shouldn't it read v 2.0

[ual002]

Speaking of tactical officer code, I'd be interested if there is any unfinished code that touches a lot of the unused tactical officer voice files, or if most of that stuff was intended to be used with manual triggers in the wav.lst file in allied or whatever.

When I voiced that droid tactical officer I realized just how much unused audio there is, I voiced it anyway just in case we figured it out. The old imperial xvt tac officers dont have that extra audio and thats why i wasnt keen on using them.

Very possible. I haven't dived into that stuff yet though.

[Justagai]

Small update to 2.0a, included the tactical officer hook in the download.

[Epsilon Eridani]

I have a question about this awesome hook I installed: I see there are the X-Wing vs TIE Fighter style pilot performance recorded once I re-fly a mission in the simulator, I mean Good Performance or Reprimand. How are they calculated for each mission?
Is it possible to achieve the Excellent Performance or Top Performance for re-flown missions?

[Justagai]

I apologize for the late response. The score thresholds and requirements are not discovered at this point.

I have updated the hook to version 2.1.

2.1
- Fixed a major bug where not all missions were listed on the load screen
- Removed Dinput.dll, tactical officer and wingmen voices hooks (download them seperately)
