Sadly the chatter box gets in the way of the tactical map when it's up (well, unless I found a new place on the screen for it), and I don't know of any way to tell when the game is in the map vs. viewing an allied ship.

[Bulletkin]

I'm throwing together another folder of chatter characters. There's more of them, and they're all of even more questionable quality.

[Bulletkin]

Here is a folder of more homemade chatter files. Might require some tweaking on your end.

The referenced source code line from the crash log is:

Code

		List<ChatterLine> lines = ChatterDataManager.getCharacterData(character).lines.get(category);

Seems like if a ship has a character assigned that's invalid, then rather than ignoring it with an error message, it just crashes Starsector to desktop right in the middle of combat.  (One of the biggest reasons why I never liked Java's daisy-chaining of dot operators; without null-coalescing features, it's like paying hot potato with a handgrenade.)

I'll double-check which of my (currently only two) custom JSON files has a syntax error, but producing an error message when a user-supplied file fails to load and/or adding a little extra null-checking might be worth looking into.  This currently provides no feedback whatsoever on what the cause of the crash actually is, from an end-user perspective, so somebody less savvy might be utterly baffled.

[edit] Curiouser and curiouser, as Alice might say. Looks as though the characters.csv really doesn't like it when the default slots aren't at the top. I had commented out a few lines and sorted everything alphabetically, and I guess the system was expecting the "default" character to be right below the none slot, so it failed to load the default character.  I have no idea why that crash happened -- "default" still appeared in the .csv, just not below "none" -- but at least it can be more firmly identified as a PEBKAC.

[Histidine]

Belatedly reviewing this post: I think I encountered this issue (or at least a report of it) in the past, but I don't remember if I identified the cause or what it was if I did.

It seems like it shouldn't happen unless the CSV itself was broken somehow? (maybe I should make that throw an exception instead of just logging an error)
Any character files that failed to load will throw an exception, and if an officer has a saved character that no longer exists the mod picks a different one when the ship is deployed.

Hello, I just wanted to remind you that the Nexus Mods version is not updated to the latest version. Thank you for the hard work and dedication you are very much appreciated!

[ymfah]

Many people including myself seems to have been looking for a voiced version of this mod. So, using the "sound" argument I've created a combat chatter character that actually speaks.



You can try it out here(https://mega.nz/file/N2J11CyB#hpxysl8tX00DYYcjcI-MhlulHFZ3lEDQRGqIjrs58oY).

[Install]
1. Install combat chatter(https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=10399.0)
1-1. Backup your combatchatter mod directory if you already have it.
2. Drag and drop the "data" and "sounds" folder. Overwrite all.
3. Install the Console Commands mod(https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=4106.0).
4. Boot up starsector and make a save copy.
5. Open the console command window (CTRL+Backspace).
6. Use any of the following command to apply voice to your officers :

SetChatterChar [officer name] Homeworld_1
SetChatterChar [officer name] Homeworld_2

7. Save the game. This will bind the changes to your savefile so you can play without doing the console commands in the future.
8. Enjoy!

[Current Issues]
- Voice overlap : Audio will start to overlap, especially with multiple ships. Edit homeworld_1.json and lower the chance if needed.
- Not enough voicelines : I intend to add more voicelines using Elevenlabs(AI voice) or commision them to add more/avoid using copyrighted material in the future.
- Voice audio very small : Zoom out to full for best results.
- Some lines don't play : Things like combat start lines don't seem to play. No idea.

[How to make your own]
1. Get voicelines. Record yourself, get game voicelines, use AI like Elevenlabs, etc.
2. Convert to .OGG and while you're at it add some radio sound effects. You can audacity for bulk radio sound effect+bulk export. ()
3. Place voicelines in \sounds\chatter
4. Edit the \data\config\sounds.json to register the audio file.
5. Create a [name].json in \data\config\chatter\characters.
6. Edit \data\config\chatter\characters.csv to add your voicelines
7. Use console command like above
8. Enjoy!

[Changelog]

v0.1
Initial release

v0.2
Fixed a critical bug that made the game crash if one of your ship is not piloted.

This is my very first attempt at modding so any advice or feedback is appreciated!

Well, those are some Homeworld Flashbacks. That's going in.

Damn now thats a mod i always wanted! By the way, FTL soundtrack was edited in or its a mod? Would love some music in my game and i liked how music changed after battle was won.

Hi there,

first post, I'll keep it short: amazing game, amazing mods 

I write to report a problem with Combat Chatter v1.13.2. I believe it has caused my game (v096.a-RC10) to CTD today when starting it from the launcher - after closing normally yesterday and no changes in the meantime. I'm using the current version of MagicLib (1.1.3), which apparently is newer than what your mod is based on, at least that is what the game says. Worked just fine yesterday though.

I found some errors concerning the mod in starsector.log. After disabling it, the game booted once more (lucky me, I already feel kind of attached to my campaign  )

I think this is the relevant section:

I have kept a copy of the complete log file, in case you are interested. Will keep your mod disabled for now and see if there are any more problems. Keep up the good work!

[Histidine]

Hello!

Yeah that's not the relevant part of the log. If you're still having issues, can you post the full log file?
