How do I make a mute vocal set?

[Fidcal]

How do I make a mute vocal set? I've tried without success:

 

entityDef ai_vocal_set_mute

{

 

}

 

Do I have to create a complete set full of blank strings or is there an easy way?

You'll need a vocal set full of empty strings "".

 

If this is a common scenario, we might need to add this option to the code, like "disable_barks" "1" or something.

Disable barks sounds useful but not as useful as starting with a blank sheet that the mapper might add one or two sounds (because presumably they would be disabled too.)

 

I'll create a vocal set with a blank set of strings I think and commit it as mute so if anyone needs it for a special case or testing.

 

What I'm doing at the moment is I want a workable placeholder for one of my characters - the pagan woman as a 'mad woman.' I have added some of the spider (doom demon or something) hisses for now. Strangely, yesterday, she was hissing but also lapsing into what I think was a proguard voice (default?) but today I don't think I've noticed her speaking. What I mean is, if goldchocobo can't come through with the mad voice set at least I have something tolerable. I don't know if this beta will be ready at Christmas but it might be.

 

I also have the noblewoman who I will set as totally mute if the voice is not ready.

Now committed atdm:ai_vocal_set_mute under test.
