Title: Borg Opening Statement
Post by: Nexxus21 on May 30, 2008, 07:44:59 PM

In Kobayashi Maru 1.0, I have been able to customize my borg sounds in the C:\Program Files\Activision\Bridge Commander\sfx\Custom\AssimilationBeam folder.

However, I have been unable to locate what activates these sounds when the Borg Cube/Sphere or Diamond enter the system.

I want to add this feature to other Borg Vessels ie: Borg Tactical Cube, Tetra, etc.

I checked the following folders to no avail:
Scripts\Custom\Autoload (borg..BPSounds)
Scripts\Custom\Ships
Scripts\Ships
Scripts\AI\Compound\BorgAttack

Normally I can locate the correct files and edit with no problem but I'm stumped on this one  :?  Any help would be appreciated :violin

I believe it's actually a weapon that does this, but I'm unsure.

Which ship exactly does this (name as exact as possible please)?

It's the "Custom\QBautostart\BorgGreet.py" script that does it.

I'll see how this ties in...

USS Frontier is correct.
But don't edit this script unless you want to add new sounds.

If you want a ship to play this feature, the ship has to be registered as Borg.
To do so, locate the ship file in scripts/Custom/ships, open it.

At the top of the file add

Code: [Select]

import F_BorgAttackDef

Now locate the line that looks like this one:

Code: [Select]

Foundation.ShipDef.Bwing = Foundation.ShipDef(abbrev, species, { 'name': longName, 'iconName': iconName, 'shipFile': shipFile })
and change Foundation.ShipDef to F_BorgAttackDef.BorgAttackDef

That should do it.

Thanks that solved the issue.....  :D

I failed to notice the changes in the in Scripts/Custom/Ships for the Borg vessels in KM1.0 compared to some of my existing Borg ships. I also manged to jack up my AI/Compound /Borg Attack file which didn't help when I tried to test the changes. :lol: but console tracker helped identify that and I replaced the file with the one in KM1.0,,,,So we;re good here.

Thanks to everyone for your input and assistance....just imagine what damage I could have done digging through these scripts... :hide
