Steam Community :: Coach properly reads the CEDA poster in The Parish

Dogman15 5 Jul @ 1:26am

My apologies; I wasn't asking you to change anything, I was just speculating about the lore of the game and various ways that the texture could be interpreted.

Alexander [author] 4 Jul @ 10:30pm

@Dogman15 I'm not planning to update this 11-year-old mod, sorry. I remember I chose to do it this way back then to make it more noticeable too.

There were a couple of sign re-textures that did exactly what you requested in the past but they were probably removed from the Workshop.

Dogman15 4 Jul @ 9:15pm

That said, if you wanted to keep it lore-friendly (with CEDA agents on the ground not being able to make a new officially-branded CEDA poster), you'd keep the same ad-hoc styling, but change the words so it matches Coach's voice line.

Dogman15 19 Jun @ 4:43pm

In a way, I guess it makes sense that, in that situation, the sign would be hastily made and not have the official CEDA branding.
Because by that point in the story, society is starting to collapse so much that the CEDA agents on location wouldn't be able to make new signage.

Dogman15 13 Jun @ 4:43am

There's also a posterboard in The Passing, in the Under-the-River tour, with the "thermometer" thing, that says "Phase 2 ... Coming in 2011", but Coach says "Phase two coming in 2010?" Do you think you could make a mod that changes the texture of this sign in The Passing to say 2010 instead of 2011?

shame he only reads in the xbox 360. but atleast i'm glad that brings back.

Lenar 8 Mar, 2024 @ 12:14pm

I see, thanks for answering.

Alexander [author] 8 Mar, 2024 @ 11:38am

@Lenar I believe it still works, it is just a basic texture replacement.

Even though the TLS update fixed the broken transparency in the original texture, as far as I remember they kept the mismatching text but it is not a big deal.

Lenar 8 Mar, 2024 @ 9:15am

Is this mod obsolete?

Kittycat Kye 3 Nov, 2023 @ 6:03am

I don’t know what to say, but thank you! <3

Alexander [author] 3 Nov, 2023 @ 4:34am

@Kye Fixed it almost a decade after its release but better late than never.

Kittycat Kye 2 Nov, 2023 @ 10:43pm

"Coach Properly Reads the CEDA Poster in The Parish" is how I personally would've titled this add-on, but that's just me being nit-picky. :P

sexy Bambosh Fribble 20 Jul, 2023 @ 9:02am

G@mer. get off steam. you are not old enough.

angelamarie918 12 Mar, 2023 @ 10:44am

Bro G@M3R Is stupid as hell and doesn't game alot to know what a bug is or a incosistent lore is either please stfu and nobody cares about your opinion either, So you literally have to complain about the "BUG" to the creator when they know dame well that that is an mistake by the development team...

Farmvile 30 Dec, 2021 @ 8:08am

Yes exactly what i need

Dogman15 19 Sep, 2021 @ 8:49pm

The alternative mod, logically, would be a sound mod that fixes what Coach says, but that would require access to Chad Coleman (Coach's voice actor), or a really good vocal impressionist.

ldiotPhD 20 Jul, 2021 @ 10:25am

yeah

Ewan 11 Jul, 2021 @ 1:33am

That guy is stupid as fuck.

Alexander [author] 2 Apr, 2021 @ 10:44am

Lore inconsistencies/discrepancies are just small developer oversights that tend to be mostly cosmetic and with or without them the game works as it is supposed to be. So technically for you there are no differences "bugs" and "glitches" either...

GI1TcH!mg G@M3R (R.A.Sudios) 2 Apr, 2021 @ 10:05am

Coach reads poster incorrectly on the parish bug fix
it's not supposed to happen so it's a bug oh forget it you don't know what a bug is i do tho

Alexander [author] 1 Apr, 2021 @ 11:57am

Nope, inconsistencies aren't bugs. Bugs are issues that affects how the game works, this is just a texture with an inconsistent text that doesn't match the voiceline...

GI1TcH!mg G@M3R (R.A.Sudios) 1 Apr, 2021 @ 11:48am

technically it is a bug considering coach isn't reading the poster correctly :/

Alexander [author] 26 Mar, 2021 @ 9:22pm

The mismatched text wasn't exactly a bug, just some inconsistency between the voiceline and the texture. No big deal.

GI1TcH!mg G@M3R (R.A.Sudios) 26 Mar, 2021 @ 5:18pm

Thanks for making a Fix for this, i reported this issue for tls so maybe it will be fixed in the future sometime

Alexander [author] 28 Dec, 2020 @ 12:41pm

@aCTZGaming There was a thick black border around the old texture caused by an alpha bug. The TLS update just fixed it but they kept the original text.

GI1TcH!mg G@M3R (R.A.Sudios) 28 Dec, 2020 @ 12:36pm

-Also there was a transparency bug on the original texture (which was fixed on the TLS update).
can you show me what you mean?
i also knew that the voice was messed up with coach and the sign, i wonder why that wasn't fixed in the update

Alexander [author] 25 Dec, 2020 @ 2:07pm

@aCTZGaming I made this one myself as the original texture design looked cheap, not much like an an official warning sign. It was just a small piece of paper with a text that didn't match with Coach's voice line when reading it in-game. Also there was a transparency bug on the original texture (which was fixed on the TLS update).

GI1TcH!mg G@M3R (R.A.Sudios) 25 Dec, 2020 @ 1:33pm

why didn't you just copy the old one and whitend out the text and write the correct text instead of remakeing it, BTW how did you get that new one? is that the old one that has been scrapped or something? or did you make that yourself?

Alexander [author] 20 Nov, 2020 @ 8:46am

@patrxgt AK47 Not exactly, the update fixed the texture transparency but the original text is still the same.

Patrxgt 20 Nov, 2020 @ 3:21am

Is this a obsolete mod after The Last Stand Update?

Yeehaw 29 Oct, 2020 @ 9:01pm

god the default poster looks like a printed word text

Matihood 16 Oct, 2020 @ 3:21am

@Alexander Ah, okay. I guess I'll just keep using your mod then.

Alexander [author] 15 Oct, 2020 @ 6:32pm

@Matihood As far as I know, the only difference between the older and the newer texture is the alpha channel they added/fixed which grants transparency to its edges and that's it. Even the text is still the same.

Matihood 15 Oct, 2020 @ 5:32pm

Since they updated the original poster, do you think you could add in a new comparison image?

Pingas 11 Oct, 2020 @ 8:03am

@TommyCD1

Oh yeah I noticed they finally fixed the transparency issue with the original graphic.

TommyCD1 24 Sep, 2020 @ 11:54am

They actually updated the original text, but this one still looks way better...

Chugway1138 10 Sep, 2020 @ 1:57pm

It always bugged me that the sign didn't match up with what Coach was saying. Now it does!

Drunk Headcrab 10 Sep, 2020 @ 10:54am

Probably because it was.

RedWithTheObviouslyLongUsername 16 Aug, 2020 @ 11:12pm

why does the original poster look like it was made in ms paint in an hour

Rise 15 Aug, 2020 @ 11:45am

why does the before picture look like something you would see in a low effort custom map

President N U T 26 Mar, 2020 @ 9:11pm

does coach not know how to read or some shit?

BlueBerry 27 Nov, 2019 @ 9:04pm

I'm very nit-picky when it comes to stuff like this. Glad there is someone else like me.

gAat 18 Mar, 2019 @ 5:18am

I love these small detail mods that dont conflict with others

E_ 18 Jul, 2018 @ 8:05am

This mod is what I would call "absolutely essential", and no I'm not being facetious.

Bomblastic 25 Feb, 2018 @ 10:11pm

I appreciate your eye and appreciation for small details, good sir. :D

question what the heck does ceda mean anyways

DuckyFox 17 Jan, 2018 @ 4:51pm

i think CEDA started the outbreak to cash in on it, the army would panic and get CEDA to help,and they would for a price,but it then backfired on them,they started to lose workers and pay went down so they are going to maek it worse...LFD3 confirmed?!!!!!

Trixxite 3 Jan, 2018 @ 8:38am

I think it was the army peeps who wrote this

Alexander [author] 29 Aug, 2017 @ 7:02pm

CEDA set up the EVAC point as it seems, so it makes sense.
