Well, SSIA (Subject Says It All)..

I really like the Hell's Soldier voicepack that we have installed, but it is also a bit limited. The makers have never really really considered actually PLAYING ONLINE with them I'm sure since they squeezed as many taunts in there they could, but it is missing quite a few things I would love to have.

- It has a 'Yes' but no 'No'
- There is no 'greetings' taunt. Id love to have some evil 'Goodbye' or 'Hello'.
The Dark Legions look forward to your return
You are greeted. Now die.

well and plenty more. I wouldn't mind a few OCA-based taunts in there.
Join the undead OCA slave legions!
and one special request for the Puntloos Taunt
My precious.....
Lost, my precious is lost!

Etc etc.

Sooooo we basically need:

1 - Someone who speaks english NATIVELY (yes sorry Im a bitch about these details, I will pick out german-english in 0.04 seconds flat) with, if possible a low announcer voice. Haha btw if you give it a try do not, I repeat NOT overdo it. No over the top 'muhahaha' (well actually, a -few- non-serious taunts would be fun..

I always wanted to start my own religion.. So I did!)
But basically mimic Hellsoldier itself. Evil Warriors take themselves seriously, its hard enough to be an advocate for doom and the total destruction of the earth when you yourself are on it when it goes.

2 - One Microphone and soundcard (attached to computer)

3 - Someone who knows some sound editor tools (Soundforge) that can slow down, stretch and 'cool up' the effects a bit. With this technique someone with a higher pitched voice can also be suitable for the original recording.

4 - Someone who can drop it into an .u file.

The last 2 are probably simple enough, if noone else volunteers I can do it.

And of course we need to keep some of the good Helsoldier taunts (probably re-record them) and think up new ones.

Oh, and, if you help out (well more then just suggesting a few taunts) you will be allowed to use it even if you're not in OCA Smile

Hmm.. well as I said before guys, if you're interested in helping out perhaps we need to start making a list of the speech snippets we want.

As for the female voice, well the current hell soldier package is a whopping 500k so I wouldn't actually mind putting up a female version too.. but it ain't my call alone, what do the other OCA ppl think? And, again, lets go think up some lines, then!

As for the current package, well, you can DL it here if you want some examples:

IMO everyone should be able to use it Confused

why not if its there?

And I wouldnt mind female voices in.

Anything upto 5mb would be ok i would think.
Compressed it would be even less. And it only gets downloaded once.
Could even put a link in the forum so ppl can download it whenever.

just mho

i was just looking at it, and you can only use that voice pack with a male skin, so maybe a voice pack you can only use with female skins would even it out a little and would be pretty cool

Well the idea of everybody using them.. what about the skins? They're there, right?

I'm not against per-se, but I know that its a cuter idea to give a voice or a skin as a bonus. Maybe we can give it away lightly.

As for size, well 5Mb is just waaaaay too much. Currently the downloads for the OCA servers are already hmm.. 15M would be my guess so poor modem/ISDN users would have to suffer.
