Hehe - nice one! Not me though....

The Microsoft speech engine must have that built into the dictionary.

If you want it to say SSN instead then put a replace rule into SeaHag ( insert ( not overwrite ) at row three )

Enabled - Yes - obviously!
Min Verb - 1
Max Verb - 9
Prevent Repeat - 0
Replace - Replace
Text to look for - SSN
Reduce Char - Nothing
Replacement Text - S<space>S<space>N<space>
Continue

And that should do the trick

Sorry Sluggy, Ive been away. Where do I find this row "3"? Thanks.

[sluggy2010]

Here ya go - shows how to add a row to the voice section

Click on / highlight row 3 before clicking the Insert Row button

And then test - if this works for you then click save settings in SeaHag

I love this program. Thank you for writing it.

Some suggestions, either for the next version or for anyone doing their own tweaks...

Text to look for:

"ready"
"fire"
"flood"
"seal"
"extinguish"
"lost"
"attack"
"wait"

I also increased the volume on the background hum to 25, although this may not be necessary if you are not in your 50s and slightly hard-of-hearing. (Too much Aerosmith in my misspent youth...well, present...hey, don't judge me!)

Cool addition and now working on 8.1.

Please, can you make that hideous Popeye Seahag characters face on the app go away? Even the sexiest voice-over is spoiled when you glance over and see that grinning thing

Reminds me of an account manager I had with a really sexy Irish accent. She could sell me anything. Then one of my colleagues said, "She's probably an old woman. A fat old woman with a hairy chin wart and a dog". That spoiled that little daydream.

Suggestion for next version of the program...make the image customizable...people can give Sea Hag whatever face they desire...like Hatsune Miku!

I'm planning on purchasing this simulation game and earlier i have read about this speech and ambient sound module addon for this game.
I'm wondering, if this module still works with the latest C:MANO version or not? I'd very much like to try this addon once i have bought it, which i'm about to do very soon i think.

I can confirm that Sluggy's excellent sound Module works fine with the very latest release of Command [:)] and along with the now added more sound effects from within the simulation itself the module certainly adds an immersive feel to an already polished simulation [:)] (which continues to be buffed) with some of the best Customer support and feedback of any game/Sim [&o] that I know of well that is in my opinion, I don't think you will be disappointed with your purchase and the sound Module will certainly enhance it further still [;)] "fantastic simulation" I love it. [:)]

[SAMiV2]

Thanks for your answer, bomber49. [:)]
I bought the game and i got SeaHag module running just fine with Natural Voices i have bought earlier. It sure gives more feeling to the game when you hear the control room hum and those other sounds as well.

I have just gone through the submarine tutorial mission and i did managed to play it through even though it only gave me 4 points in the end. Guess i fired too many torpedoes which missed the target and that lowered the score. And i think fireing way too many tomahawks didn't help either. [:D]

Anyhoo, that's all from me and thanks again.

[CV60]

How do I get Sea Hag to notify me when a hostile radar is emitting? I don't see a message warning of hostile emitters appearing in the message log, so there is no text I can use to trigger Sea Hag. Is there a work around for this?

[Pergite!]

I finally installed Sea Hag and need guidance on how to get as much speech effect as possible. The ambience is working just fine, but the only speech I get is a seemingly random contact ID message once in a while. I am using the default grid and have tried to change the speech level but with no apparent success.

Help?

[sluggy2010]

Can you give me a couple of details - which operating system your PC uses - a copy of the log file from the CMANO\logs file that it was on at the time and the application settings for SeaHag as per below.

If you put them in a .zip file and post a message with that zip file as an attachment I can check it for you.


Regards

Sluggy



The SeaHag application setting are stored in
On Win XP - C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\SeaHag.exe_<identifier>\1.0.0.0\user.config
On Win 7 - C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\SeaHag.exe\<identifier>\1.0.0.0\user.config

is there an advantage to using an External Program to run the Voices? I have At&T Charles but run it through Microsoft Speech.

Personally at the moment I only use the default Microsoft voice which is not too bad and OK for me although other voices I would think would be clearer to listen too and maybe easier to tweak the obvious disavantage is cost of a new voice or package [:(] but I suppose if you have other uses for a package or voices other than Command then its much more cost effective! I have tried a few "demo" packages which work fine through Sluggy's Module so the decision is personal preference could it be the sexier voice the better! [:)]

I run windows 8.1

Attached is a copy of the application user config and the corresponding Command log.
That log resulted in no speech at all.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Ed - the option is there just for flexibility and if you want to call an external program to perform your own goodness.

In order from worse to best

Microsoft SAM - the old XP version - you many prefer silence....
eSpeak external program - open source
Microsoft Speech - from vista onwards
Microsoft Speech - from Win7 onwards
Microsoft Speech - from Win7 onwards using AT&T 16 bit voices.

I use the AT&T Audrey one and so do a few others, Found it at http://www.nextup.com/attnv.html

Sluggy

Sorry - no attachment?

[rwenstrup]

Yeah AT&T Audrey works well...
