thecyke Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 Argh! Can someone, anyone, please tell me how to stop the team pausing at the end of combat. Eg when my 7 guys kill/incapacitate an alien, one by one they pause the game. I unpause it, guy no 2 pauses it. I unpause it, guy no 3 pauses it etc. I get around it by immediately moving them a little, but thats hardly useful in a strategic game where placement could be vital. Can`t find a setting to stop this hugely irritating irritation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 That'd be telling mate Click on your options button (near the top-right in your combat window) and uncheck the checked boxes under the little alarm clock icon for everything you want to prevent game stoppage. You can also disable the directors cut zoom thingies as well in this menu. Also, try to get used to using + and - for speed settings... unpausing using the spacebar only leads to trouble when everyone calls out that they've finished tying their boot-laces and picking their noses etc. whilst a couple of enemies rake off a few clips of ammo at you Just a tip that I thought might be useful.

thecyke Posted October 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 Hmm, an Ash avatar`s an improvement mate! I cant see a setting that`ll stop this madness though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 You found the option screen right? Just take the little X'x out of the box under the alarm clock column and it'll stop pausing. The option screen isn't very easily signposted, and there are three tabs of settings to look through, but it's there, honest! Top-right(ish) of your tactical screen when it's loaded.

thecyke Posted October 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 I know where the settings are, honest! I just dont see any (and i`ve hovered over all of them so they are explained) and i can see the options for pausing if YOUR men are wounded/killed but nothing for the F`ing aliens...the F stands for fine, btw. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA OT: If anyone knows anything about converting NTSC mpeg files to DVD compatible that would be great too....... MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazMaN Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 the option your looking for is "no orders" i think just uncheck the camera and pause icon and shazzaaam no more pausing, at least until 1 of your guys sneeezes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 Yup... it's definitely the no orders one. Funny... a quick flick through the manual and I can't see a mention of these settings. Maybe I'm going blind with all of this internet usage (building graphics and whatnot ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheetomeister Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 Hey guys, just thought I'd say that I've been getting real annoyed with all of my soldiers feeling that they have to tell me one by one when they've killed an alien too. I've turned off ALL of the pausing options and it doesn't make a difference! Don't think I'm missing anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 You can turn off soldier voices you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheetomeister Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 Yeah i know, call me a freak but I kind of like them tho. Just seems a bit shoddy that there's no option to stop them pausing the action whenever they take an enemy down.Although I love the game, it does seem a little rushed in places don't you think???

Slaughter Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 In some aspects it does, agree with you on that. A shame that they had to rush things. But at least they fix it quickly with patches... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazMaN Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 speaking of the in game speech, the people who put that in the game want shooting, with rusty bullets, then pushed into a vat of ratpiss. i have never heard such a dire set of actors and accents in a game, ever. At first it made me chorkle, but then after EVERY order "ready to go" and "ready sir" made me want to kill myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowBlade Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 You can prevent the game from pausing when your soldiers kill an enemy by disabling the "Action Impossible" Time box in the Tactical tab in the Options menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would make the game is if we could replace them with commado-style talking with like a walkie-talkie hiss. I'm gonna see about doing it. Anyone know a good game I could just rip the sounds from so I don't need to make my own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Ooh, has ShadowBlade just won the official no-prize? Has he solved my PAIN?Whingey-moan-moan eh mate Told you where to look, but would you take my word for it? Noooo To be honest, I only thought that a few were particularly bad. Malcolm sounded about as dumb as he was the first time I played the game therough - he had awful intelligence and was pretty crap at everything, and he comes across as a bit clueless. The problem I find is when you get two identical twins in the game and they have the same voice set... Wouldn've preferred something to ensure you didn't get two of the same face/voice sets for two very different people with very different surnames MechCommander or MechCommander2 aren't too bad on the voiceovers I reckon. They've pretty much got the same voice set (except they'd say "enemy spotted" instead of "duh... I see an alien pop... whaddya want me to do pop? Huh? Huh?" I should imagine that the modding tools may help in this quest, but be warned that Microsoft (nice company, I really like them /sarcasm) own the rights to Battletech computer games.
