COM CHATTER IN SPACE MOD-RELEASED!

INKED MICHAEL · Post by **INKED MICHAEL** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 8:07 pm

I'm Creating a "music mod" Folder that will contain 300 Separate and UNIQUE "ANNOUNCEMENTS" from System "AUTHORITIES" as well as "ALERTS" from your Ships Computer.

This will be a "music Mod" but with SPEECH rather than MUSIC.

Currently you Only get "Com Chatter" when You are Near a POPULATED AREA, PLANET or STATION.

This Project I'm doing will provide Generic, but Complex "Com Chatter" Regardless of where you Are.

I have Divided the 300 Files into "Announcements", "Fillers" and "Alerts" and into 7 Categories that I will Place in the MOD FOLDER According THREAT LEVELS.

THERE WILL BE 100 COMPLETELY UNIQUE "ANNOUNCEMENTS", etc in LOW THREAT and HIGH THREAT LEVELS. MED THREAT LEVEL WILL USE THE SAME FILES AS LOW BUT WITH SOME HIGH THREAT "ALERTS" PLACED THERE AND ARRANGED DIFFERENTLY.

The CATAGORIES of ANNOUNCEMENTS/FILLERS are as Follows:

SYSTEM COMMAND AUTHORITY. I'll be Recording These Files Myself.

SYSTEM RESOURCE AUTHORITY

SYSTEM TRANSIT AUTHORITY

SYSTEM COMMERCE AUTHORITY

SHIPS

ALERTS

and

FILLERS.

I Need Volunteers to Record the SCRIPT (Announcements) for EACH AUTHORITY. I'd like a SINGLE VOICE for EACH AUTHORITY and Another for FILLERS.

It will Require You to Record about 20 "Announcements" or "ALERTS" and 12 "Fillers".

If Anyone Is Interested Please EMAIL ME (I'm Visible on the Forum) with the Choice of "Authority" you would Like to Be.

I would Prefer the Files I Receive to be in .ogg Format but I have the Ability to Convert .wav Files to .ogg.

You can Record a SINGLE FILE with ALL SCRIPT LINES, leaving a small Break in between Each "ANNOUNCEMENT". I Can Separate them Out Myself.

Once Complete you'll simply need to place the "music" Folder I've Created in your EM GAME FOLDER , COPY THE 300 FILES IN "music" FOLDER and PASTE THEM IN YOUR EM "sounds" FOLDER and The GAME will play the "Announcements", "ALERTS" and "Fillers" CONTINUOUSLY, Using a RANDOM FILE PLAYER, regardless of your ships position and According to Threat Levels, etc.

You WILL HEAR REPEATS due to the Random Nature of the GAME MUSIC PLAYER.

Hope You Like this Project.

If the EM COMMUNITY enjoys this Project I'll continue to UPDATE the Folder By Adding DIFFERENT "ANNOUNCMENTS" and Maybe Some "EFFECTS". I CAN'T ADD ANYMORE FILES as I'm CAPPED AT 300. (100 per THREAT LEVEL).

I'll Post any UPDATES on This Thread.

I'm looking forward to Hearing from you.

Sounds good. I assume you need to have in-game music enabled.

MARV. Yep, Music ON, but Instead of BALLADS You'd Get COM CHATTER. lol.

Feel like Lending a Voice My Friend?

Awesome, Inked! I am interested in helping out. PM/email me. I've done radio ads and my bother has a full recording studio at his house. Seems we both have rooms full of computer equipment...

Sounds Great My Friend. Just send me an EMAIL with Your Preference of "AUTHORITY"( Use the ADDRESS in YELLOW in My SIGNATURE)), TRANSIT has Just Been Taken. lol. and I'll send You an "ANOUNCEMENT" to Record.

Once I Hear it I'll send you ALL THE ANNOUNCEMENTS for your Chosen AUTHORITY.

Thanks My Friend. You're Help is MUCH APPRICIATED.

Mike,

Sounds like an excellent idea - I can have the music on a player and voice chat in game!

What equipment do we need to do the recording?

DAVE. A MIC and HEADSET and "AUDACITY" (Free Program). That's What I'm Using.

You can Export Voice Recordings as .ogg files with AUDACITY.

@SPLOSIVES. This will be a "VOICE ONLY" Mod, No Music.

I know, I just thought this was a good example of combining the two.

I'll do any of the authorities you need, I don't mind which.

DAVE. Send Me an EMAIL and I'll send you a "Test File".

You got mail, Mike!

LOVED the "Vonari with G Verb" File. If I was able to Make Files "WAR ZONE SPECIFIC" I'd DEFINETELY USE THEM. I'd Increase SPEED in Some Places, Use PEICES of The File. Man it would have been PERFECT for "VONARIAN" !

Unfortunately I can Only place files to play in LOW, MED and HIGH THREAT SITUATIONS so If I Placed Your "VONARIAN" in the HIGH THREAT LOOP It Would, at Times, PLAY whenever you were doing a KILL CONTRACT in ANY SYSTEM.

So Due to the Fact I Can't make files "WZ SPECIFIC" there will be No "VONARIAN".

I Could Really use your Talent for One of the "AUTHORITIES" If You're Interested.

Just Email me again and I'll send you an "ANNOUNCEMENT" from either COMMERCE, RESOURCE or FILLERS. TRANSIT is Taken and I'm doing COMMAND.

ChewyHoops · Post by **ChewyHoops** » Mon Jul 22, 2013 9:12 pm

Email me what you're looking for - all I need is "script"!
I can do it here, with my semi-decent mic, or take a day and record in-studio. Problem is, my brother has a mini-fridge in his mixing room. After a few hours, the quality might diminish a bit...

INKED MICHAEL · Post by **INKED MICHAEL** » Mon Jul 22, 2013 9:59 pm

I'll EMAIL you an "ANNOUNCEMENT" with Directions. Thanks My Friend. I Thought The files You sent were just Fine.

INKED MICHAEL · Post by **INKED MICHAEL** » Thu Jul 25, 2013 8:07 pm

I've added 21 "ALERTS". Very Short and "Generic" that will Play During KILL/REB-GLD DELIVERY CONTRACTS and in WARZONES (HIGH THREAT CONDITIONS).

I'll need a VOICE for These as Well.

These will Take NO TIME Whatsoever to Record.

What? like . . . 'Arghhh' . . . 'Noooo' . . . 'Frak, I'm dead' . . . 'Where's the destroyer gone?' sort of thing

I hope to get the ones you sent sorted this weekend.

INKED MICHAEL · Post by **INKED MICHAEL** » Thu Jul 25, 2013 11:58 pm

NO. lol. More like " ALERT: MULTIPLE HOSTILES DETECTED".

They are Intended to Appear to Come from YOUR SHIPS COMPUTER.

i cant wait for this, i have a modded radio chatter but sadly just looped, would this mod pick up alien chatter ? when near a vonari planet or battle group ? just an idea. really looking forward to this

:)

INKED MICHAEL · Post by **INKED MICHAEL** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 7:50 pm

I Can't make ANY of the Files "SPECIFIC" other than LOW, MED or HI THREAT LEVELS. A "WZ" is Considered HI THREAT but there are also Times when you are in NO DANGER or MODERATE DANGER. At these Points the CHATTER would Use LOW and MED THREAT files as well.

Unfortunately I Can't Create "VONARIAN" as the Files can't be made WZ SPECIFIC.

INKED MICHAEL · Post by **INKED MICHAEL** » Sat Jul 27, 2013 12:07 am

I Still need VOICES for COMMERCE, FILLERS and ALERTS (Ships Computer Voice Alerts).

I PROMISE they take NO TIME to Record. AUDACITY is a FREE PROGRAM less than 25MB If you Need a RECORDING PROGRAM. Then just a MIC and You're Good.

I Have COMMAND, TRANSIT and RESOURCE Taken Care Of.

Come on Guys (And Gals. lol.) Help Me Out Here. lol.

@THALIUM. To Be Honest I CAN'T WAIT EITHER. lol.

INKED MICHAEL · Post by **INKED MICHAEL** » Sat Jul 27, 2013 3:25 am

Well "ALERTS" have been taken care of VERY NICELY. Just COMMERCE and FILLERS to Go and I'll be able to Start Building the FOLDER.

INKED MICHAEL · Post by **INKED MICHAEL** » Sat Jul 27, 2013 11:01 pm

PHASE ONE of the Project is Complete. I've CONVERTED COMMAND, RESOURCE and ALERTS Into GAME FILES and Placed them in the MOD FOLDER.

Initially All you Will Hear in HI THREAT AREAS like WZ's and KILL CONTRACTS will be the "ALERTS" from Your Ships Computer. NO COM CHATTER. After Everyone who Uses this MOD has had some time with it I REALLY WANT FEEDBACK.

I've Set COMMAND and RESOURCE to Loop in BOTH LOW AND MOD THREAT SITUATIONS So there will be CONTINUOUS COM CHATTER In Normal Space.

Once I've RECIEVED AND CONVERTED COMMERCE, TRANSIT AND FILLERS I'll make the MOD FOLDER Available for DOWNLOAD.

Yes....I've Finally Decided to use a HOSTING SITE. lol. It is "FILE FACTORY".

The FOLDER Will be in ZIP format so All you'll need to do is UNZIP and COPY the "music" Folder into your EM GAME FOLDER.

If you don't want to Lose the Music I Suggest COPYING IT in another Location or RENAMING IT Something Like "music1".

I'm hoping to Have this Out for DOWNLOAD within the Next Week after I TEST IT.

INKED MICHAEL · Post by **INKED MICHAEL** » Sat Jul 27, 2013 11:43 pm

BTW. I Still REALLY NEED SOMEONE to Record "COMMERCE" for Me. Any Takers?

Post by **Marvin** » Sat Jul 27, 2013 11:46 pm

See if you can get this guy to volunteer ...

His voice should be perfect for the part.
