thereg Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 At the moment, using some of the speech packs available in the SF1 downloads and some NATIONS.INI edits, I've managed to set myself up so that I hear Russian when flying for the Soviets, German for the Luftwaffe, and WW2 British accents for the RAF, Australia and New Zealand, with stock US for everyone else. All without having to swap files manually when switching between the countries. Given that it is so easy now to individualise the languages (aside from the task of actually recording each file, which would be a huge mission) I was just wondering if there is anyone out there who might be working on speech packs for at least the major combatants in the SF2 modded titles to improve immersion with the radio comms? Unfortunately I don't really have the time to devote to such a project myself, but with all the huge and fantastic work done by the modders here, and with such an international community, I wonder if such a thing could be in the wind? 2 Quote
dsawan Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 this is what we need. How'd you nanage to do it? Quote
thereg Posted June 20, 2011 Author Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) this is what we need. How'd you nanage to do it? I extracted the NATIONS.INI from the MissionData001.cat Then, using the Soviets as an example: [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=Gramps Russian Speeck Pack <<<--------------------- I entered this to tell the game where to look SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.str Then I downloaded the Russian speech pack by Gramps located here http://combatace.com...an-speech-pack/ I added a Speech folder to my mods folder for SF2E (I'm using a full four merged install with lots of mods for each game). Then extracted Gramps' pack into its own sub folder with the same name as is shown in the Nations.ini. Now, whenever flying for the Soviets I hear Russian, but not when flying for any other country. And put the Nations.ini into the Flight folder of my mods Edited June 20, 2011 by thereg 2 Quote
dsawan Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Thx, mate. will give it a try! desperately need formy WW2 installs Quote
+Soulfreak Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Wow, that sounds great! Would be cool to have a propper mod of this.... Quote

Where exactly do you put the alternative speech folders, is it for example: ../mods/speech/Gramps Russian Speeck Pack? Would this work with SF1? I've been trying to reference alternative speech packs within the speech folder, like this: ../speech/speechUK but I can't seem to get it to work. Mike Quote
+FastCargo Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Interesting...nice that TK finally activated that feature (yep, I'm late to the party). FC Quote
+Heberth Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 woooooooow! will be so good to fly with the "red side" and hear their language! Quote

OK Reg, Thanks for that, let me ask a different angle. Where is the USAFSpeech.cat file normally found? I ask because I can't find it in SF1, all I can see is the regular ../Speech folder, full of American-accented wingman calls. Mike Quote

Mike For SF2 there is a Speech.cat file inside the Thirdwire/Strike Fighters 2/Speech folder. This contains all of the American accented calls. Any nations that aren't redirected to a new speech pack in the mods folder via the method above simply default back to this. 2 Quote
Mike Dora Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Oh well. That's quite different from SF1, so I guess it means the national speech mod won't work there. Bother. Mike Quote
+JonathanRL Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Wow, thanks! Now all I need to do is find voice actors for TSF :D Quote
Wilches Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Some new international speech packs are in need - a quite extensive list by the way: - Japanese - Italian - Germany - Chinese - Swedish - Finnish - Arab - Hebrew - Spanish There some of these in other SIMMS and would be nice if someone imported those voices to SFP. A major breakthrough indeed!! 1 Quote
arthur666 Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Tried it out. This is very promising. I wonder if it means some official voice packs might be in the works? Quote
+SidDogg Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Well! Peeped this thread a few times, went to Google and did a little testing... ...they have a voice pronunciation function on their translator. Put in the transmissions we know so well, and translate it to Japanese. ...And the Japanese voice is female. So, in the least, TACC in Japanese could be done up quite nicely... SidDogg 1 Quote
+GrinchWSLG Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 So if I'm flying for the USAF and I've got the USAF speech pack installed, and an RAF flight checks on with TACC (with the RAF speech pack installed), will I hear them check on with the British speech files? Quote
+Fubar512 Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 So if I'm flying for the USAF and I've got the USAF speech pack installed, and an RAF flight checks on with TACC (with the RAF speech pack installed), will I hear them check on with the British speech files? In theory, yes. Quote
+JonathanRL Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 - Swedish TSF is working on it. Any voice actors with Danish, Norwegian and Finnish skills would also be welcome. Quote
KeyboardChap Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 So if I'm flying for the USAF and I've got the USAF speech pack installed, and an RAF flight checks on with TACC (with the RAF speech pack installed), will I hear them check on with the British speech files? Unfortunately they will just be using the speech pack of the nation you are flying. Quote
Funnytoss Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Unfortunately they will just be using the speech pack of the nation you are flying. Hm, that's unfortunate. I'd never even thought of the possibility regarding allied flights. Quote
