Expanding Radio Comms

[CowboyTodd41 133]

So I remember years ago for SF1 someone made a mod for the speech engine stuff that added in more lines on inactivated dialogue. Most memorably azimuth/clock calls from wingmen directing you toward SAM launches.

Anyway, I was perusing through the SPEECHTEXT.STR file tonight and found some rather interesting entries. Let's just go to the highlights shall we?

So... the question is, do we have these resources and how do we get them working? I'm totally lost, but I want to help. Where should we start?

I think the FAC stuff was deactivated when FAC was removed from the game. I doubt it can be readded. Would be cool though.

[Wrench 9,421]

99% of those were never activated; all the FAC calls (expecially from ground forces) are left over from 1stGens; like WK said, FAC no longer exists

[Centurion-1 1,228]

What i would like is something as simple as an identifying text showing who calls what on the radio:

[Cobra 1-1]: Fox Three!

 

or 

 

[Zebra 2-1] I'm taking damage!

[DEVIL11 28]

That would be really cool to have those speeches in the game
