While poking around in FS2_open's multi code I came across a function V never appear to have attached to anything. Maybe it's a hold over from descent or it was simply never implimented but I figured you guys would like it.

Apparently the multi_random_death_word() function exists only to come up with a random word or phrase to describe one player killing the other. So instead of Alpha 1 has killed Zeta 1 you'd substitute the word killed for something from this piece of code

Code: [Select]

switch (index) {
case 0:
return XSTR("zapped",853);
case 1:
return XSTR("caulked",854);
case 2:
return XSTR("killed",855);
case 3:
return XSTR("waxed",856);
case 4:
return XSTR("popped",857);
case 5:
return XSTR("murdered",858);
case 6:
return XSTR("bludgeoned",859);
case 7:
return XSTR("destroyed",860);
case 8:
return XSTR("iced",861);
case 9:
return XSTR("obliterated",862);
case 10:
return XSTR("toasted",863);
case 11:
return XSTR("roasted",864);
case 12:
return XSTR("turned into anti-matter",865);
case 13:
return XSTR("killed like a pig",866);
case 14:
return XSTR("taught a lesson",867);
case 15:
return XSTR("slaughtered with impunity",868);
case 16:
return XSTR("spanked like a naughty boy",869);
case 17:
return XSTR("skunked",870);
case 18:
return XSTR("beat senseless",871);
case 19:
return XSTR("shot up",872);
case 20:
return XSTR("spaced",873);
case 21:
return XSTR("hosed",874);
case 22:
return XSTR("capped",875);
case 23:
return XSTR("beat down",876);
case 24:
return XSTR("hit wit da shizzo",877);
case 25:
return XSTR("sk00led",878);
case 26:
return XSTR("whooped up",879);
case 27:
return XSTR("brought to the all-you-can-take whoop ass buffet",880);
case 28:
return XSTR("served up a whoop ass sandwich...hold the mercy",881);
case 29:
return XSTR("gibbed by Kayser Sozay's rocket",882);
case 30:
return XSTR("shot down",883);
case 31:
return XSTR("given early retirement",884);
case 32:
return XSTR("instructed",885);
case 33:
return XSTR("eviscerated",886);
case 34:
return XSTR("pummelled",887);
case 35:
return XSTR("eradicated",888);
case 36:
return XSTR("cleansed",889);
case 37:
return XSTR("perforated",890);
case 38:
return XSTR("canned",891);
case 39:
return XSTR("decompressed",892);
}


I guess Kazan and Taylor have probably noticed this one before but I didn't know who else had so I figured I'd share

[CP5670]

This was never used the first two Descent games, so it was probably made for FS1 or something.

I'ma gonna hit you wit da shizzo!

[Zacam]

Ooooooo.....can we flush that list out just enough to make "case 42: was 0wn3d by"

Yes, my mind is in s simple state right now. Yours would be too after being up for almost 60 hours.......

[karajorma]

Incidentally directly below that function is this one

Code: [Select]

index = rand() % NUM_CHAT_START_WORDS;
switch (index) {
case 0:
return XSTR("says",893);
case 1:
return XSTR("bleats",894);
case 2:
return XSTR("opines",895);
case 3:
return XSTR("postulates",896);
case 4:
return XSTR("declares",897);
case 5:
return XSTR("vomits out",898);
case 6:
return XSTR("whines",899);
case 7:
return XSTR("barks",900);

You guys realize that Descent was developed by Parallax, not , right? I don't think developers swap code for their star franchises.



I would so love to see those messages though... 

[Shade]

And you do realize that Parallax Software split into two new development houses, Volition and Outrage Entertainment, right?

[Dark Hunter]

D'oh! :slaps himself really hard:


I forgot about that!

[karajorma]

Code: [Select]

typedef struct object {
struct object *next, *prev; // for linked lists of objects
int signature; // Every object ever has a unique signature...
char type; // what type of object this is... robot, weapon, hostage, powerup, fireball
Take a good long look at that last line and then tell me that there is no Descent code in Freespace 2

[Dark Hunter]

So my Volition history is a little sketchy.....

[phreak]

X's Maxim put a huge hole in Y.
Y is glowing green after being killed by X's Prometheus S.
Y swallowed his own Infyrno.
X shoved a Harpoon up Y's ass.

[Taristin]

"Alpha 1 was killed by his own missile" -->  "Alpha 1 has just won a Darwin Award."

[Zacam]

I think these should be tbl/tbm's. Then people (or mods) could have semi-free range on customizations.

[Colonol Dekker]

Code: [Select]

case 16:
return XSTR("spanked like a naughty boy",869);



 

[Kazan]

don't forget

pwnd

and if they're not on the list already
expunged
eradicated
terminated
vaporized

[Colonol Dekker]

Must have

"WAS BEATEN LIKE A GINGER STEPCHILD"

[T-Man]

"Alpha 1 has just won a Darwin Award."

huzzah! That one has to go in!

How about these:

"Zeta 1 was the weakest link!"
"Beta 1 had a disagreement with Alpha 2's Phoenix V"
"Delta 3 has assended...with help from Zeta 1's Maxim"
"Beta 4 let his Prometheus do the talking with Zeta 3"
"Delta 3 was a slowpoke" (Death by shockwave)
"Lady luck as dumped Alpha 4"

[Flipside]

'On this Day, Beta 4's pants are full of Piranha'.....
'Delta 1 has been given unfettered access by Alpha 1's Prometheus'
''Beta 2 is no longer a legitimate authority in this system'...

[Unknown Target]

So...is it going back in?

[Tyrian]

And these:

Alpha 1 personally introduced Beta 1 to God.
Alpha 1 was swatted by Cruiser 1's beam.
Alpha 1 was turned into roadkill by Beta 1.  (Death by collision)
Alpha 1 violently converted Beta 1 into an expanding ball of incandescent gas.  (It's long and a quote.)

"Alpha 1 was killed by his own missile" -->  "Alpha 1 has just won a Darwin Award."

You can do that in FS1.  Get in a Valk with no shields armed with MX-50's.  Increase engine power to the max.  Empty the burn meter.  As soon as the burn meter recharges, hit it again and hold down the missle button.  Unfortunately, in FS1, you don't get a Darwin Award...You get "<callsign> was killed by Alpha 1."   

[Bob-san]

Your death sequences...

Alpha 1; God. God; Alpha 1
Hornets hurt, Alpha 1. Learn to evade!
