Title: I like the Tips 'o the Day
Post by: Torcher on November 13, 2007, 04:30:17 PM
On the Arena loadup screen.

Why, just today, I learned that F4 takes you instantly out of the game and to Windows.

Here I thought that Command:
a) Was instant help for Noobs
b) Made you fly faster
c) Dropped your ords
4) Connected you directly to HiTech
e) Made your guns "lock on" your target
f) ... fill in the blank ...



Kidding aside, it is nice. I've seen a couple I didn't know about.

I learned that it's HiTech's voice on the default Check 6.

Seroulsy?  I've know that from word of mouth since like the dawn of time :)  The original "base is under attack" was reportedly Yankee.  Been so long since Ive ran default sounds, I don't even know what the current ones sound like.

Actually, the default "base is under attack" sounds suspiciously like one from the old Intellivision voice game "Space Spartans"

the one i'm trying to figure out is...

"it takes 10 uninjured paratroopers to capture a maproom"

exactly what do they mean by "uninjured"?

(and the HiTech chk6 thing was one of the tips)

Check6 was one of my first sounds to go.  I think I mentally jumped 10 feet out of my seat the first time that went off....startled the crap out of me.

I replaced the check six call (which strikes me as sounding eerily like that psycho in Silence of the Lambs) with Nath's infamous woo woo, which probably causes me nearly as many deaths as enemy fire.

I've seen a couple of tips on things that I didn't know either. Kind of embarrassing after 6 years, but they're not things that effect my gameplay. Beats sitting there trying to read the file names at ludicrous speed, and a few are actually humorous.

I replaced the HT Chk 6 with TwinBoom's British "you've got one on your tail!". May not be as good as "LEEEROOY JENKINS!!" but it works.

I'll tell you what, download Mitsu's sound pack and you find yourself with a very manageable "Watch it, you've got one on your tail!" That is, until you step into the 109G-14, and all of a sudden you have a baller german check six that I cant even attempt to pronounce here, but it is awesome.

Oh wait :rofl :rofl :rofl :aok

I had taken a hiatus from flying due to RL stuff keeping me busy, and that was one of the first things I noticed.  Definitely a nice addition...

Your base is under attack.  It sounds just like the voice on Dune 2000 saying the same thing.  Cracks me up every time I hear it.

So what happens when you alt/F4? Gamewise what happens??

                      One thing I learned recently is if you mouse/freeze hitting "H" unfreezes it for you. I used to have to disco out of the game.

I'm guessing it means:
When landing troops, if you crash land your goon hard enough to break landing gear, I think it injures or kills the troops and they won't run.  Also dropping too low.

I remember in the beta days when HT was testing the new vox system and 'broadcast' to all, quite scarey.... (no one knew the vox engine was in the game at that stage).

The plane which just exited via Alt+F4 blows up. At least that's how it was in H2H.

If anyone wants to HOST them, i made a bunch of check 6, and warning sounds as well as a couple of hit sounds.

The warnings and check 6's are from a bunch of movies. Original Memphis Belle, 12 o'clock high, Flying Leathernecks, I think i sampled the russian ones from Red Dawn. And also a good Die Walkurie clip for the german birds.

The main hit sounds are actually sampled and edited different snare drum sounds. I  read  somewhere where a pilot had said when his plane was taking hits it sounded like a metal garbage can lid being hit with a hammer.

So if someone wants to HOST them, P.M. me.

if you have Windows XP:

My computer -> Local Disk C -> Program Files -> HTC -> Aces High 2 -> Sounds -> Check6

Mine says:

I get a laugh out of it, then after my laugh I'm in the tower. :confused:

Will someone please slow the messages down a bit for those that have to count what number relates to what letter of the alphabet.  Might as well leave time to look up carpaccio in the dictionary.  That's 3-1-18-1-3-3-9-15 in the 4-9-3-20-9-15-14-1-18-23.

Best check6 of that kind you can find is in Redhawk sound pack, Bmathis posted a link to it in the Film and screenshots forum (IIRC, maybe it was here in GD)... if you want to hear it, before downloading, check this video (http://www.stage6.com/user/bmathis/video/2076407/Spitfire-XIV-Invasion)

Btw, someone posted a while ago the Leroy Jenkins sound, I thought it was Raptor... made a search, maybe it's still around... and I should have it somewhere. :)
