Fidcal 175 Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Just completed new non-Karras, generic robot voice files and schema for my Thief 2 mission and it occurred to me it might be of use with Dark Mod Development. Are robots still going to be included in TDM? I'll post a few more details if so, maybe even post a sample. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fidcal 175 Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 That's OK. I'll make them available soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Mike 11 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 That's OK. I'll make them available soon. I think the more quality content the editors have available the better so a big thumbs up to this. Look forward to hearing them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
New Horizon 534 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Just completed new non-Karras, generic robot voice files and schema for my Thief 2 mission and it occurred to me it might be of use with Dark Mod Development. Are robots still going to be included in TDM? I'll post a few more details if so, maybe even post a sample. I'll take a listen to them. As a general rule, I'm not using submissions for the voice sets and doing it all inhouse for consistency, but you never know...my heart may soften a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fidcal 175 Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 NH: Do you want me to PM you with links to a sample of the wavs or post them here publicly? The voice files were created using an old quick and dirty text to speech generator but this was ideal because it makes no pretence of being human but gives really robotic-sounding monotones. Extra robot statements can be made if necessary to meet any additional requirements of Dark Mod or even custom ones for specific missions being planned. I have produced only a single voice (with almost 100 wav statments) but there is some provision for adjusting the pitch, etc so another slightly different robot voice might also be produced in the same style but I have no plans for this myself. I'm using it with the one humanoid robot in the Thief 2 Dedex gamesys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Domarius 2 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Oh yeah, the consistancy thing - I forgot about that. I suppose robot voices could slip through if anything, since they are probably going to sound wierdly different anyway.

Fidcal 175 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Just make me a temporary honory member of the team (robot voice division) and no rules need be bent! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sparhawk 17 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Unfortunately NH is the only member of this group (the voice actors) and only he has the keys to it. It's quite a honour that you even considered to listen to your files, as he never did even that. Quote Gerhard Link to post Share on other sites

It's quite a honour that you even considered to listen to your files, as he never did even that. Just to clarify for fidcal... I'm not a lone voice actor. I'm simply producing all the voice sets with actors who live within our city...and also actors who happen to come in during the summer for our city festivals. I have access to semi-pro and professional actors. Even though we're somewhat small, we have a very large acting community here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arumakani 0 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 That was once an attractive woman, who after being under the influence of Hollywood youth and body culture turned to Plastic Surgery with disastrous consequences. Her name is Jackie Stallone, mother of Sylvester. Quote ZylonBane's confession about himself: "What can I say, I'm a jerk. A three times all American Jerk, from Jerksville, Kentucky.

Fidcal 175 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Think that is Stallone actually. Anyway, just to repeat... pm sample links or public? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
New Horizon 534 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Think that is Stallone actually. Anyway, just to repeat... pm sample links or public? Feel free to post them publicly. Please don't be insulted but chances are that they will not make their way into the mod as I'm being very strict about ensuring all the vocal sets match up as a unified whole. T2X worked by submission and the quality, while often good, varied far too much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saxmeister 9 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Hey guys- Be careful when you mention the name Michael Myers..... I go by the handle Saxmeister, but that is my real name (no joking or kidding here!)

Fidcal 175 Posted August 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 OK. No won't feel insulted if they are not suitable. I made them for my own mission and this was just an afterthought. Incidentally, even if not used by the team, they will be made freely available anyway so anyone else can use them in anything whether it be a Dark Mod map or Thief 1,2, or 3. Here is are 5 samples anyway.... OK ... NOTHING ... NOT RIGHT ... LOST CONTACT ... STRANGE Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sparhawk 17 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Reminds me of "Sam Reciter" back in the days of C64. Well, I don't really thin that they are suitable for this mod. They sound way to electronic. Something I would expect in a game like Doom 3, Deus Ex or similar. Quote Gerhard Link to post Share on other sites
