The ONLY thing that I really want to change about the game is the "Let's kick some ___" voice clip on the Marza. Is there an easy way to change it? I would even use one of the other Marza audio clips if it could work.
future feature request, stardock.... include a setting option to censor the content.
Go to the 'Sound' folder and remove 'CapitalShip_TechSiege_OnAttackIssueOrdered_0' for a quick fix. I'm not sure if you'll need to change any game data beyond that, but regardless, you'll be unable to play online after removing the sound file (Unless other folks happen to have removed it, and just that.)
Either way, I would reccomend simply moving it, or copy+paste, to someplace else as opposed to deleting it outright.
You should have seen some of the stuff we wanted to put in and would have if it wasn't for the ESRB. However, they considered that line acceptable for our "Teen" rating.
Well, since Im not a teen any chance we could hear some of that stuff and add it via mod????
Not all of it is audio, some was visual. But no, we can't release it sorry
Awwwwwwww.................
that really sucks
I've got a 13 year-old who loves this game, and is kind enough to note every now and then when the Marza utters that line, once creating the following conversation:
"See, Dad, that's why it's a T-rated game. How old was I when I started playing this?"
"Look, just don't tell your mom and I'll buy you a space pony." I edited the file overnight.
I've also had the same desire to censor a few other games, which is kind of weird. I don't terribly mind the idea of him blowing up starships supposedly containing thousands of souls onboard or watching Legolas keep a running tally of how many orcs he's killed, yet I've trained myself to reflexively flinch whenever I hear the Marza captain speak that line whenever he's near. I've come to the realization that my priorities might be slightly out of whack, but at least he'll be ready to conquer the solar system by the time he goes to college. Not every kid can say that, can they?
If you can't handle the word ass, then go shut your self off from society and watch Disney movies. Sorry if thats kinda harsh but... seriously...And if you're worried about your kids hearing it (and it clearly says "T for Teen" on the box), think about this: everytime a Vasari Space Whale blows up, 15,00 vasari die with it.
Ever play Mass Effect?
EDIT: lol just read the post above mine... Ah we love to condradict ourselves don't we? I'm 17 and I used to watch Terminaotr 2 and Austin Powers and a bunch of violent stuff as a kid and I turned out ok.
Mass Effect wasn't that bad. At least a 10 year old wouldn't have been able to figure it out. In fact, I didn't even know till it popped up on a Mass Effect search on YouTube about Fox News and some whole debate.
And by the way, what did that girl on the show expect? Any 9 year old can lie about their age when the site can't see you...
Same here and same age, I watched terminator and other thing quite fine, In 8th grade I've heard worse words atleast 30+ time a day in Idaho.
Has anyone seen the commerical for the Disney movie called Mosters Vs. Aliens, its rated pg but has so much inappropriate content in there for kids.
Not even via impulse with age verification becaus ei for one find the language much to clean for civilisations at war with each other until the bitter end.
so mod it
The Original transformers movie had the word shit in it. Just because the writers knew that there was no suitable replacement for that explitive when you've just seen a planet blow up and the giant thing eating it is A ok.
Just for the record. Im annoyed at teens runing my chance to hear what a real Marza Captain would say while he blasting away everything around him.
Ok, I cant say upset for long. After all its not their fault. And besides, I was a teen not too long ago too.
It is surprising how much 'adult' content makes it into movies like Disney's Hercules, or the Shrek series. It is also interesting to note the differences between Canadian VS American rating systems, the former focused more on violence, the later on sex and drug use.
Cussing doesn't make me flinch. I was in high school!
Thats b/c kids now a day can see this stuff in most tv shows and moive they watch. Why? B/c violence and sex sales.
Anywho, Craig Im now curious as to the differences between the 2 ratings. Was it the Canadian or American that caused you to drop alot of what you planned? Or was it both?!? To be honest Ive never heard a Devs POV on the ESRB ratings.
My apologies, I was referring to movies when I said ratings, NOT ESRB ratings for games
Blame Canada!
Anyway, "oh my gosh" is perfectly suitable when you have seen a planet blown up and eaten by a giant thing!
And I know what a *real* Marza captain would say:
"We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in Space, we shall fight on the asteroids and planets, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the space, we shall defend our gravity well, whatever the cost may be,we shall fight on the moons, we shall fight in the phase exit corridors, we shall fight in the nebulas and in the wormholes, we shall fight in the orbits; we shall never surrender!"
Too long?
No, that's the Kol captain. The Marza captain says "Shut the **** up and keep shooting you *******."
Any chance of it 'leaking' out to some obscure foreign server?
LOL, it's so much fun to see how they use 'fuck' in PG-13 movies, they really seem to put a lot of thought into it (e.g. Be Cool "Unless you are willing to use the R rating you can only say the 'f' word once. You know what I say, I say fuck that.")
Concerning OP's objection, the sound clip should be changed not because it contains a "naughty word" but because the current sound clip is inappropriate to the unit and the situation. This is the Marza Dreadnaught! The sound clip should be consistent with its nature and its stature.
Instead we have the present sound clip associated with it, and it just doesn't fit.
I am certainly not against salty language in games when it fits the unit and the situation. I thought Mr. Spud in the beta of Hellgate London was one of the more memorable characters I have ever encountered in computer gaming. Sadly, they bleeped most of his better lines in the final version. But Mr. Spud was not a Dreadnaught. He was a fun-loving rum sort of fellow, a vendor at Oxford Circus Station who hated his job.
Ah, yes, you want to buy something pretty for your hideous scrotum of a face. Well, too bad, I don't sell *bleep*ing burlap sacks no more.' -- Spud

One of you mods send some email over to Ironclad and tell them to fix this sound clip in the next patch.
I don't see how it doesn't fit.
Also, Craig and Blair are Ironclad Guys.
Agreed, and damn ESRB, I appreciate Ironclad broadening their customer base... but... damn ESRB!
