Fix the missing air traffic controller from Leipzig Station in Dresden. The base should now hail NPC patrols, grant/deny dock requests, and wish your character "Good luck out there".
Both mission 1 and 13 use a few voice dialogs that weren't registered as 'voice' files in story_sounds.ini. As a result, if you were to play those missions with the sound effects disabled, you wouldn't be able to hear them. The changes in this commit should rectify that.
B-dtl1-2.tga was upside down in br-capships.mat, which caused the Bretonia Battleship to look a bit strange sometimes. Additionally, both textures in br_turrets.mat were generated without additional mips. Both issues have been fixed in this commit.
During Mission 9 you often hear the Dragon wings and Ozu saying that the reinforcements are being shot to pieces. Though in the mission script these ships are instructed to self-destruct after being shot only five times, which is a bit strange. This means the reinforcements die long before they actually should be dying. In this commit this number has been increased to 20. In my opinion these lines can be removed altogether but that can always be done later.
In the officially released Freelancer ku_battleship_dmg_rear.3db is incorrect as it's a copy of another model. In the Beta however, the ku_battleship_dmg_rear.3db file is the correct one. So it has been copied over.
Planet Kitadake's infocard mentions that it has a ring system, while the planet itself doesn't actually have one. This commit adds the Weisser ring to it. In addition to this, the Planet Aso ring type has been changed to Aso, because the Ice ring type doesn't have any cloud effects. The Ice ring was added in JFLP and apart from this, this ring type was never used in vanilla anyway.
The Barossa wreck infocard mentioned that it was carrying Niobium. In reality though it wasn't carrying anything cargo-wise at all... So 20 Niobium has been added to its cargo hold.
One value in shapes.ini still had an incorrect value which has been updated. Also, a few detail map placements in planet_watgrncld.txm have been corrected.
According to Freelancer's shooting script, Trent should have been approached by a Rheinland Freighter after undocking from New Berlin, while in-game it's actually a Rheinland Light Fighter. Furthermore, when you approach the Frankfurt gate, Fischer mentions he's a Daummann Freighter that's shipping supplies to Holstein. Therefore, his faction has been changed to Daumann and some construction machinery has been added to his cargo hold.
I noticed that when BS Schiller uncloaks, its cloaking animation wouldn't play. This has been fixed by ensuring it's actually cloaked before uncloaking.
In this commit the alpha detail map placements have also been remastered manually. Now there's no more rock detail map placements where there's supposed to be water, etc.
Adding this effect was deemed to be impossible without crashing while playing on vanilla servers. However, a different approach has been taken by replacing existing unused select_equip.ini entries. As long as no new ones are added, crashes on vanilla servers won't occur.
Cruiser captains should always be wearing some eye piece. However, Walker didn't have that during mission 3 and 4. This has now been added. Also, there is one moment during mission 11 where Walker can be seen flying a Defender. Here he should be wearing a helmet, but he wasn't. This has been added. This commit also replaces the comm_ge_generic1 (Pirate) helmets with comm_ge_generic2 (Liberty) helmets, and also the uniforms li_scrote_body to li_male_elite_body. The former Pirate helmets and LSF uniforms were incorrect because they were worn by Liberty Navy pilots.
When taking the jumphole from New Tokyo to Honshu during Mission 8, an issue would be apparent where one BD fighter fails to enter formation and gets left behind. This however doesn't happen when the latest Autosave is loaded; the BD fighter will enter formation correctly and follow the squad. The issue was caused by the fact that the BD fighter didn't jump through correctly, which has now been fixed. Another notable issue was that another BD fighter would spawn right near Yukawa Shipyard, before you and the other BD fighters reach the Transport. This resulted in the BD fighter getting destroyed by the Naval Forces escort as soon as you arrived. This caused Ozu to say 'We lost a fighter, we need to cover each other' right away. This has been fixed by making the BD fighter a part of the escort as soon you enter Honshu. It may sound a bit strange that you suddenly have an additional fighter (4 in total), despite Juni asking about the 3 ships before taking the jumphole. However, based on the radio messages from Ozu, this approach makes the most sense.
