Hello,

Is it possible to add in game voices? I mean we have to much of silence. All you have is a text message. I know that Milo wasn't able to do add them coz that would have increased production fees but the community could add some now. No ?

If you're custom .deffing missions you could record voice transmissions that are triggered by events such as ships being destroyed or arriving or launching.

I would also very much like to have voices - preferrably all of the comm messages currently appearing on-screen (ESPECIALLY when getting clearance for landing!). Also Comm chatter from wingman/element would add a great deal of realism and immersion.

Hey guys,
Putting sounds and voices in is actually quite easy. I have a mission that is in release status and will be availible soon at SSC. It requires either using the filesys- command or putting the mission into a dat format. My mission will be released in dat. and it uses canned sounds I found online, some are from many great scifi flicks.

As far as voices I would like to do a mission that uses no text and only recorded voices that speak whatever message the editor chooses. This would, of course, require a script and voice actors to fill the shoes of the other ships, but it's totally conceiveable. Using sound editing you can even add the effect the replies to the player would sound like two-way radio traffic.

a quick tutorial...
Sounds are stored in their own folder aplty named Sounds. These are kept within the Mods folder in the same way as ships, weapons, etc. I choose to use an additional folder within the sounds folder called Ss. Should I have other 'mods made mission', like a BSG mission I could create another folder within the sounds called BSG to cut down on confusion.

a basic def command looks like this...


event: {
id: 94,
time: 0.0,
delay: 0.0,
event: Message,
event_sound: "Ss/alert03.wav",
event_message: "THOSE FARCASTERS JUST WENT HOT! WE'VE GOT INCOMING!",
event_chance: 100,
trigger: "Jump",
trigger_ship: "Renguard 1",
}
