Deleted RepCom Dialogue
So yesterday I wrote a thing about Theta Squad in RepCom, and it turns out that there was originally gonna be two sequences, one with Theta Squad (Darman's squad) and another involving a crashed gunship and a character called Delta 36. Today I thought I'd share some of the other cool deleted/never added lines I came across when I was searching the subtitles.

It's entirely possible some of these actually are in the game and I just haven't come across 'em or I don't remember 'em. :) If you think I'm wrong about something, please feel free to point out that I obviously haven't played the game enough, and I'll do my best to change that. ;)

Delta 40: Accessing Anti-Air controls. Ooh, this is nice. I can do much better than just "offline." Separatist turrets now targeting... Separatist craft.
Delta 62: Fixer, you're sick. I respect that.

Delta 62: What the-- aw, that gunship took my kill! I do all the work, and some rocket jockey comes in and takes the glory.

[after seeing the jamming device on Geonosis (?)]
Delta 62: I think we're gonna need a bigger squad.
Delta 07: Or bigger guns.

Clone Advisor 1: Delta Squad, your brothers in Theta Squad failed their objective.
Delta 62: What happened? Couldn't hack it?
Clone Advisor 1: Heavy casualties sustained watching YOUR back, Delta. So, I'm giving you their objective: Sabotage the droid factory.

[lol]
Delta 38: I don't like that door; let's take it out.

[the first line of this is in, but I don't recall the others... pure Fixer though :D]
Delta 40: Looks like they're slavers.
Delta 38: How can you tell?
Delta 40: Most Trandos have a hyper-athletic physiology. But slavers get lazy. Comes from having lots of slaves to do things for you.
Delta 38: Fixer! You've done your research.

[ok, now I'm curious... swamp blurrgs in the game?]
Delta 38: Swamp Blurrg. Maybe it can find a way out.
Delta 07: Swamp Blurrgs don't count towards your kills, Boss.
Delta 62: You mean I have to keep a separate blurrg count?

[this is on the website, but it seems to be from a ship crash on Kashyyyk that wasn't in the game]
Delta 62: Rule 45, Sev: Any crash you can walk away from is a good one.

[on Kashyyyk]
Clone Advisor 1: Listen up, Commandos. You can-NOT allow the Separatists to gain a foothold here! The future of the Republic is at stake!
Delta 38: All right, we get the point. So, what do we have to work with? How many Republic units are on planet?
Clone Advisor 1: Besides you? None.
Delta 62: Well that's just bloody wonderful.

[very end, and one of my faves]
Delta 38: We'll come back for you, Sev. I promise.

And just because I can, here's all the "Rules" I could find, in numerical order:

Rule 1: Kill 'em before they kill you.
Rule 17: Always make sure they're dead.
Rule 23: Never pull sentry duty on an empty stomach.
Rule 39: Never say no to bacta.
Rule 45: Any crash you can walk away from is a good one.
Rule 89: One's an anomaly, two's a trend.

I also figured out how to extract the sound files! After searching for ages and even finding how to hex-edit the files so the wavs were at the start and could play (though it would only play one clip when I did this, and I'd have to hex-edit again to get the next one... which as crazy as I am, I wasn't prepared to do on files with hundreds of clips!), I finally found a program to extract the files. It was strange though - some of the dialogue files weren't the right speed. I had to timewarp all of Boss' dialogue by a factor of 2.77 and most other files by a factor of 1.35 (numbers determined experimentally) in order to have it play correctly. I saved a few files, and put together one conversation (MP3, 74 KB). I don't have huge plans for the sounds, but I like knowing that they're there if I ever need them. :) Perhaps I can devise an amusing Windows sound scheme with some of them...

This is completely unrelated (well, not completely), but I love the way Fixer goes "Rescued: one wookiee" and "Rescued: two wookiees" in the Kashyyyk mission. Why does Fixer rock so much? :x Probably because he's the most like me. :)

PS: They need to add more RepCom pictures. I think I've used them all several times. *smirk* (I think I probably win the award for most-prolific-RepCom-writer on blogs.SW.com, hehe. If not, point me to who's writing more about it! :D)
