"Unimplemented feature"

 

This from the NATIONS.INI of WoE patched to Oct '08:-

 

[Nation002]

Name=USAF

DisplayName=United States Air Force

Alignment=FRIENDLY

PilotNameList=NamesUSAF.lst

RankList=RanksUSAF.lst

CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst

Formation.Fighter=USFighter

Formation.Attack=USFighter

Formation.Bomber=USBomber

Formation.Transport=USBomber

Formation.Tank=USTank

Formation.MobileAD=USAD

PilotTrainingStandard=EXCELLENT

GenderRatio=0

DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav

DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav

DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav

SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat <-------- OBSERVE!

SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.cat

Medals=MedalsUSAF.ini

MedalTextFile=MedalsUSAF.str

UseFAC=TRUE

 

 

And this:-

 

[Nation005]

Name=Soviet

DisplayName=Soviet Air Force

Alignment=ENEMY

PilotNameList=NamesRussian.lst

RankList=RanksRussian.lst

CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst

Formation.Fighter=SovietFighter

Formation.Attack=SovietFighter

Formation.Bomber=SovietBomber

Formation.Transport=SovietBomber

Formation.Tank=SovietTank

Formation.MobileAD=SovietAD

PilotTrainingStandard=NORMAL

GenderRatio=0

DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav

DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav

DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav

SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat <-------- The same.

SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.str

 

 

Observation:-

 

There is no USAFSpeech.cat file in any version of the game.

 

There is a speech folder with a whole stack of .wav files which contain the voices you hear.

 

But, maybe someday. . .

 

Although, don't hold your breath. TK has responded to numerous calls for a hebrew voicepack for WoI with the answer that voice acting is very expensive. No doubt true.

 

Meantime, have seperate installs for your Red-flyable campaigns, and use Russian voice pack for that install, e.g. :-

Hiya FC,

 

Yes, I remember that discussion, from a while back, even had a crack at it myself if memory serves, as you say, no dice.

 

Would be a cool feature though, especially as there are a few different voicepacks around now.

 

Slainthe!

hopefully someone will do it or thirdwire will add it because when you fly a mig and they all speak with an american accent it doesnt feel very real

You could always do it the hard way - install russian speech pack for Red campaigns and when you decide to switch back to the Blue - just delete it. It's far from perfect but I don't think there's any better solution ATM I'm afraid.

 

EDIT: Oops, I haven't noticed what Baltika's written - yeah, separate installs for the Red side is much better

how do you install gramps russian speech thanks

[+MigBuster]

There should be a readME - The wav files probably just need to be put into the "Speech" folder

The problem of the existing russian speech packs is, that they are not correct. It are russian phrases, but have to relation to the original TK speech files, what means, that they are nonsens for a russian native speeker.

 

Alex, the best way to get a true russian speech set is the old "do it yourself". Take a headset with microphon, open each speech file, listen what is said and then overspeek with russian words.

The same way i did it with the german speech pack.
