Andyr Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Some of you may know that the reason this mod has taken ages (aside from lazyness) is that after moving it from the old FW to here, I got dissatisfied with the plot and started recoding from the ground up. After sitting abandoned for ages on my hard drive, I did a lot of stuff this week and now have a minimalist alpha version people can test. PM/reply here if you're interested... I also have, currently, two voice roles to fulfil. If anyone wants to have a go, send me a sample of a few lines and I'll let you know if they sound how I want them. wav, mp3 or ogg. Ideally they would be performed by the same person but this is not essential. The first is Elai's shadow. This should be a menacing, rolling male tone. Maybe use some special effects to make it sounds deep and follow. For this, I require the following three lines: = ~At last, something aside from dull-witted peasants! Adventurer, I have a... proposal for you.~ [A#ELSH01] = ~So, finally you decide to grace me with your presence. Do you have that which I desire?~ [A#ELSH02] = ~If it is conversation you are after, I would prefer you consort with my *physical* form...~ [A#ELSH03] The others (around 50 lines) are Elai himself. He is a young adult, brash and arrogant. He sometimes affects a slightly archaic manner of speaking, and is highly educated. He is normally calm and talks in a charming yet slightly patronising manner, but occassionally loses his temper. For inspiration, think of a clever villain in a lot of films. Perhaps a younger Christopher Lee. Err, I can't think of any good examples offhand. SAY INITIAL_MEETING ~Greetings, travellers...~ [A#ELAI00] SAY MORALE ~This is *not* the sort of situation I should be in!~ [A#ELAI01] SAY HAPPY ~You do make a reasonable set of companions after all.~ [A#ELAI02] SAY UNHAPPY_ANNOYED ~This group would be better led if you followed *my* suggestions.~ [A#ELAI03] SAY UNHAPPY_SERIOUS ~You do not deserve my company.~ [A#ELAI04] SAY UNHAPPY_BREAKING ~Worthless swines! One day soon I will destroy you.~ [A#ELAI05] SAY LEADER ~In charge again - as I should be.~ [A#ELAI06] SAY TIRED ~We will stop now; I tire.~ [A#ELAI07] SAY BORED ~Your lack of action shows you are unfit to lead.~ [A#ELAI08] SAY BATTLE_CRY1 ~I will crush you!~ [A#ELAI09] SAY BATTLE_CRY2 ~Feel my wrath!~ [A#ELAI10] SAY BATTLE_CRY3 ~Time to perish!~ [A#ELAI11] SAY BATTLE_CRY4 ~None can stand up to me!~ [A#ELAI12] SAY DAMAGE ~~ [A#ELAI13] //A painful gasp SAY DYING ~~ [A#ELAI14] //More pain SAY HURT ~I could use a priest's attention...~ [A#ELAI15] SAY AREA_FOREST ~When I am in power, I shall burn the forests and skin the creatures that live in them.~ [A#ELAI16] SAY AREA_CITY ~A serviceable region, though the architecture is... substandard, compared to my home's.~ [A#ELAI17] SAY AREA_DUNGEON ~I should not have to dirty myself in a place like this.~ [A#ELAI18] SAY AREA_DAY ~One day I will blot out the sun.~ [A#ELAI19] SAY AREA_NIGHT ~Ah, darkness again... At last!~ [A#ELAI20] SAY SELECT_COMMON1 ~What is it now?~ [A#ELAI21] SAY SELECT_COMMON2 ~Why are you bothering me?~ [A#ELAI22] SAY SELECT_COMMON3 ~You have my attention.~ [A#ELAI23] SAY SELECT_COMMON4 ~What?~ [A#ELAI24] SAY SELECT_COMMON5 ~You call?~ [A#ELAI25] SAY SELECT_COMMON6 ~You said something?~ [A#ELAI26] SAY SELECT_ACTION1 ~Very well.~ [A#ELAI27] SAY SELECT_ACTION2 ~I'd rather not.~ [A#ELAI28] SAY SELECT_ACTION3 ~I *suppose* I could do that...~ [A#ELAI29] SAY SELECT_ACTION4 ~This is below me.~ [A#ELAI30] SAY SELECT_ACTION5 ~I was about to suggest the same thing!~ [A#ELAI31] SAY SELECT_ACTION6 ~A menial task.~ [A#ELAI32] SAY SELECT_ACTION7 ~Such a waste of my skills.~ [A#ELAI33] SAY SELECT_RARE1 ~You are barely worth my bother.~ [A#ELAI34] SAY SELECT_RARE2 ~I don't know why I put up with this constant irritation!~ [A#ELAI35] SAY CRITICAL_HIT ~A perfect blow!~ [A#ELAI36] SAY CRITICAL_MISS ~Trickery...~ [A#ELAI37] SAY TARGET_IMMUNE ~A change of tactics is in order.~ [A#ELAI38] SAY INVENTORY_FULL ~Why should *I* carry that?~ [A#ELAI39] SAY PICKED_POCKET ~I take what I want, when I want.~ [A#ELAI40] SAY HIDDEN_IN_SHADOWS ~From the light, into the shade...~ [A#ELAI41] SAY SPELL_DISRUPTED ~Curse you!~ [A#ELAI42] SAY SET_A_TRAP ~I'd keep away from that.~ [A#ELAI43] SAY ~I trust you find this shell more pleasing to the eye? Come, you must have questions...~ [A#ELAI44] SAY ~Ah, my benefactor returns.~ [A#ELAI45] SAY ~Are you *truly* saying you'd be better off without me? Stop this folly and let us be off.~ [A#ELAI46] SAY ~We meet again. Have you returned to ask for my company, or merely to sample the wines?~ [A#ELAI47] SAY ~I am glad you have returned; this locale is not to my liking, and I find it tiresome.~ [A#ELAI48] SAY ~I sense this will be a profitable union for the two of us. Come, we shall talk more later.~ [A#ELAI49] Quote Link to comment

Grim Squeaker Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Did you ever get anything from RT? Quote Link to comment
Stoplight Red Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Did you ever get anything from RT? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He did not. However, there was a lot of 'it's not necessary at the moment' noise, from the last time I asked Andyr about it. Not that this is any excuse, but! Quote Link to comment
Grim Squeaker Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Hang on! Some of those lines were Nasard lines from the previous incarnation of this mod! Quote Link to comment
Grim Squeaker Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Who is RT? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Red's husband. Quote Link to comment
jester Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Ah ok, so he voiced Nasard or was supposed to? So I should start looking for those CDs after all. Quote Link to comment
Andyr Posted August 26, 2005 Author Share Posted August 26, 2005 Yeh, it's still not that urgent, so if RT is still up for it... Quote Link to comment
Grim Squeaker Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Ah ok, so he voiced Nasard or was supposed to? So I should start looking for those CDs after all. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He was gonna be Elai. I was and still am Nasard, I hope. Quote Link to comment
Andyr Posted August 26, 2005 Author Share Posted August 26, 2005 Yeh, Grim was/is Nasard. But I've not got so far as rewriting that bit, yet. Quote Link to comment
Guest clock sendak Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I'd be interested in giving it a shot- but not sure how to record it. I suppose it's a hardware rather than a software issue though, so maybe when I'm rich... Quote Link to comment
Andyr Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 You just need a computer microphone, really. I think JC's posted a tutorial or two on it over at PPG, since he's fairly experienced in these matters. Quote Link to comment
