Unofficial (for now) mission scripts fix

[Sneaksie]

Russian in-flight speech patch can be made, but first i want to make sure that script bugs are resolved. Some parts of the missions were changed, for example, you no longer need to switch to arcade mode to be able to escape the gravitational pull of Shao blackhole, script does this automatically. Missions 33 and 34 were heavily edited (placement of enemy ground units became more random, etc.). Any changes could bring some overlooked problems, so i wait for your feedback (i've played through the game successfully though).
There are no plans to release Factor K in English.

excellent. I'll play some later and see what I come up with.

We were forced to search for any solutions to game issues ourselves and we don't have a source code. This means that some errors (like ships sinking through ground at the end of football mission) are impossible to fix. However, i've managed to understand and correct most errors in mission scripts.

This patch fixes most scripting errors found in missions (crash in Mission 30, 31 should be okay as well). In addition, it adds text messages at the top of the screen during flight (a substitute for spoken flight chatter), which are also stored in pager log if you've missed something. A pilot head image appears briefly at the top left of the screen when someone says something. All text in the game should be translated now.

Patch installation is simple - unpack the archive into main game directory, overwriting existing files.

Please report any errors, i'll try to fix them if possible.

Thanks have solve some problems but not all.
At end mission 32 then there is a new mission 33 there is an compile error in line 922. I hope that you can solve that one to begouse for me is now game end.

Best regard

Oops, one extra ; symbol and boom Thanks for pointing this out, i've uploaded the updated version of the patch (it's in the first post).
Please post here if you finish the game (mission 34 is the last one).

Hi Sneaksie, Yes the compile error in line 922 is solved.
But sorry in the briefing room from mission 34 the man is speaking then back to Windows desktop. I hope that you can solve this one to; if I can finnist the whole mission 34 is the last one I want to play the whole game to look if there is more wrong. I can do this begouse I have a lot off time my age is 69 but like this game's

All the best

Okay, i'll check what's up... these two last missions are scripting nightmare (and seem to be less tested than others).
Wow, I hope i'll still have interest in games and in life in general like you do when i turn 69 myself
What's your opinion on adding back Russian in-flight speech in addition to English subtitles like two other players suggested in this thread?

[billshot1941]

Hi Sneaksie, Well I think in the year 3000 there is a not understanding language; if it is possible then we gamers already in that year.

Best regard and thanks for the attension for the problems in this game.

Fixed, the link to the updated patch is in the first post, as before.
I'm going to upload the full version of the patch (with the Russian in-flight speech as requested) tomorrow.
