Boks Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 I don't know about you, but I find the voices in the game pretty annoying. I could just turn them off completely, but it's nice to hear when a certain situation occurs. So I've come up with the idea that maybe the community could create our own. There are people on here from all over the world with varying accents, so I thought it might be a good idea to see who would be interested in helping to create better voices for the game. I've got in mind that the soldiers should sound more serious and less retarded. The voices at the moment just don't fit right. If you think the characters sound like a bunch of schumcks and you have a mic, do you want to contribute? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 If I had a mic and a voice that didn't sound like a stoned teenager's (wait a second! I am a stoned teenager! ) then I would contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strahd Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 I agree with Cpl. Facehugger. It would be hard to get a "studio" quality mic unless you (or the one that is recording the sound) would add a radio effect to the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigget Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 An exaggerated stoned teenager would be cool, with the right face to go with it ofcourse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaughter Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 I'll help if I get hold of a mic. The voices are GRUSOME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigget Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 Id like a britney spears character, with the right model to go with it of course, and sounds cut from various interviews. Now that's a soldier you can afford to lose on every mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rein Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I could probably help with this, I can do accents and stuff but my main type of voice kind of sounds like Solid Snake + Max Payne lol I'll have a demo up if anyone is serious about it.

Boks Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 There doesn't look like there's much interest, so I wouldn't make it your top priority . Though if you still want to do it, here are some of the sayings that are needed Scream- Ouch- Under attack- Under fire- doH! Plan completed- What next?- Requesting orders Target dead- Got him Target unconscious- I think I got him Confirmation attack- I'll get him- He's all mine- Leave it to me Confirmation generic- Will do- Yes sir- Acknowledged Confirmation move- Moving out No ammo- I'm out of ammo- I need ammo! No route- I can't get there Generic spotted- Enemy spotted- Hostile spotted- Incoming! Those are just some, for the rest see share\sound\wavs\exclamations . Of course, they don't have to be exactly the same words, think of different ways to say the same thing, if you know what I mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigget Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I was thinking about creating the exact opposite, a mute mod. :-) Lots of people have complained about the voices, and now in 1.3 with the alien death screams. If you want to here them you also have to listen to the soldiers annoying complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Hmm, a mute mod... That has some potientiall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to here them you also have to listen to the soldiers annoying complaints.You do know you can still listen to the enemy hit/death screams without hearing the soldiers voices, yea?For those that don't know, uncheck:Options > Miscellaneous > Unit Messages I just tested it and it works alright for me I thought the introduction of the enemy screams were welcomed, I didn't realise people wanted to mute them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigget Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Its the unit sounds that people want to mute. I read over at the official forums that they couldnt be muted without also turning of the enemy sounds. But i havent tried it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rein Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Yeah the soldiers are annoying, that is why I am all for a new voice pack mod - but I turn off the soldiers voices and the alien screams still work for me but I wouldn't mind some cool soldier voices I'll post something once I get my mic from my band equipment later on today.

sigget Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 All right, no need for a mute mod then, unless you'd want to mute only selected soldiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I have something like that already its called 'send the selected soldier into an alien base alone with only a T-shirt and Uzi.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exe22 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 with mother languages: soldier says: o shit, 10 aliensyou think he says: theyre all deadyou think: haha, now i can just walk over, do the objective and go home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigget Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Yes, thats a big lingvistic problem that we've had to live with for a long time. For example there's this joke about a swedish tourist in copenhagen that got into a cab a said: "take me someplace fun", when the cab arrives at a cemetary nearby the missunderstanding is clear. The swedish work for "fun" means "calm" in danish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boks Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 I really don't like the idea of them speaking their mother language, and lets not get started on it being "relasitic" eh? The voices are helpful to know when an event or situation occurs. It won't be very useful if you haven't got a clue to what they're mumbling on about . Besides, I only speak English and a bit of french. Anyway, I'm off to bed... bonjour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
