The voices in dialogs with the crew are a big mess up.
The objective of this project is to fix it.
You can find where it comes from in this
thread.
It will be necessary to follow four steps to achieve it :
- building a new Sounds.cfg file
- building a new Dialogs.tsr file
- building a new Dialogs.cfg file
- checking and possibly correct all .aix file in which dialogs with the crew are involved.
First step : building a new Sounds.cfg
A correct entry in this file is : Text_Dialog_503=data
\Sound
\Speech
\RadioMan
\Normal
\PD_RR_RADIO_D08.ogg
In data\sound\speech there are 16 subfolders, each for a
character.
Three of them are more or less useless : CaptainRahn, HarborChief, HarborKMO. For the 13 left, each has 3 subfolder :
Normal,
Tension,
Whisper.
There are some exceptions, but I will not detail them now.
Inside these folders we find .ogg files named XX_YY_CHARACTER_xxx.ogg.
Again we find exceptions.
We don't know yet what the XX, YY stand for.
We also find .lipbin files which are the lips animations.
What we know is that
the .ogg files are named the same in all language packs.
How will we proceed?
We choose a character, say
Bosun. Then the
Normal subfolder. We listen the first track : CGSQ_BOSUN_01.ogg.
He says "Jawohl, Herr Kaleun!" (curious for an english pack, but still...) with, what I guess, is a normal tone.
We open an empty text file, that we name
listening_Bosun_Normal.txt and we note:
Bosun\normal\CGSQ_BOSUN_01.ogg\"Jawohl, Herr Kaleun!"
Then we proceed with the second file : CGSQ_BOSUN_04.ogg and so on.
How can you help us?
You can give us (currently
Mikemike47 and
Divingbluefrog) by pm or posting here the
listening_character_tone.txt.
Before creating the file, ask here if it's not already done, there is a lot of work to do, no need to do it twice...
If you are not using an english language pack, no problemo, write what you hear in your native language, we will always find a way to translate.
Be sure to work on stock files!
Done
