Reporting a bug in Star Wolves 3

[Stuka10000]

Cleared all berserks from the precursor portal in X220 and nothing else happens. Tried returning to phantom and had a good fly around the system; Would appear that the trigger isn't working. Also astarti mothership doesn't fit into that portal, just dances around the edge of it.

In the mission to obtain the Pirate Mothership, you can attack the Mothership instead of coming close to it to trigger the dialog with Ternie. I blew it up expecting to get a hilarious reprimand and game over, but the game crashed instead, and LOGfile.txt containing the following:

It's not really a bug per se, it's just that the game script never assumes anyone is insane enough to destroy the ship; I suppose the crash is due to the game unable to find the ship (since you blew it up). This can likely be fixed by adding a check for destroying the ship, similar to the check when you destroy the Transport Mothership when it follows you right after you obtain the Pirate Mothership. (In that case you get a funny dialog from Ternie before a forced game over, check out the "your stupidest moments in SW3" thread.

Hi Folks.....!

Steam version of the game has been updated to 1.12. The patch was sent to other distributors as well.

First: I have the impulse distributed version of SW3. I have to say thanks for this great game.

A while after the precursor missions you get a new pilot, the engineer Kalem.

The problem is, his speech isn't translated, he speaks in .. Russian? Not sure. This is the english localized version, at any rate, so he should be talking english.(This is the spoken comments, not written text).

Hopefully it's just a mis-called voice file or something like that. It is unchanged in both the old and new version.

The voice acknowledgements were not done for the english version iirc - that's why most pilots are silent (their voice trigger files are there, but they all contain silence). Kalem's voice files were perhaps inadvertently copied from the russian version instead of blanked.

There's a voice pack somewhere here, it takes the english voices from the previous 2 Star Wolves games - you can get that if you wish.
