We now have 4 "canon" news recordings, plus the "beachhead" I did last year. I fixed up the wiki's news section with better instructions, made other updates, and posted the "news" music so others can use it:
http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/wiki/ ... News_Items
I also posted the news files into SVN, but not the playlists yet since we need a lot of material to avoid being repetitive. But if you want to test them in game, the playlists are not hard to update. For example, /data/.vegastrike/peace.m3u would look like this:
Code: Select all
#EXTM3U
#terran-specific
../music/terranpeace.ogg
../music/terranpeace2.ogg
../music/Machina.ogg
#common peace/away files
../music/steel_p.ogg
#fix weights so music plays more than news, by re-listing your favorites
../music/steel_p.ogg
../music/Machina.ogg
../music/Machina.ogg
../music/Machina.ogg
../music/terranpeace.ogg
../music/terranpeace2.ogg
../music/terranpeace2.ogg
../music/terranpeace2.ogg
#news items
../communications/news/gnn_beachhead2.ogg
../communications/news/gnn_teenage-boy-outsmarts.ogg
../communications/news/gnn_confed-senate-convenes.ogg
../communications/news/gnn_freighter-missing.ogg
../communications/news/gnn_slavers-guild-exposed.ogg
#advertising (these sound files are not posted to SVN yet, so ifyou want them get them from the wiki or remove this section from the playlist)
../communications/commercials/sponsor_gnn-1.ogg
../communications/commercials/sponsor_fuzzys-chicken.ogg
../communications/radio-shows/call-in_fuzzys-chicken.ogg
../communications/commercials/sponsor_shmrm-mc.ogg
../communications/commercials/sponsor_confed-navy.ogg
../communications/commercials/sponsor_travel.ogg
../communications/commercials/sponsor_tripezian.ogg
Only 23 more "canon" news items to record! We definitely need someone to be our news anchor since "Jenny DeWilde" is no longer available.
Edit: Hey, when did I become an ISO party member? I was a special operative just a few hours ago. I'm not sure I like this. Before, I watched the forums. Now, the forums watch me.
