Having finally heard my last "Sir, I think I got him" and "Whhhaattsss thhaaaaaaat?"

I've decided to embark upon replacing the voices with the voicework from the vererable Jagged Alliance 2, as well as a couple of other sources, mosty stolen fragments of dialoge off Aliens S.E, where I aim to be able to present the voices of Hicks. Apone and Vasquez at least.

So, gimmie perhaps a week (Fingers crossed) and I may be able to present something along the lines of soldiers swearing at Grey's in Russian while another advises you to "Watch your fire and check your targets"

For the kiddies, there should only be one source of foul language and that will be the voicework of Hick's... what can I say, when you outright kill an enemy, nothing beats "M*****F*****" as a comment. ^__^

Cheerio, and one question to the venerable modders out there, how does one go about replacing the images in the inventry and game menu for weapons and items?

EDIT: Fixed that no-brainer.. Sme nice weapon piccies to replace those blocky rendered ones, too.

Sounds great, keep us informed!

Sounds great! Would love the Aliens sounds in the game! As for the mod questions, I don't know too much about it. I suggest you check out our modding reference forum, the documentation for the official modding tools, and if none of that work, ask the other modders here. Keep us posted!

I did mention my intent on changing the weapons images in inventory and menu along with the voices. Just as a teaser, heres a collage of some of the replacement images.

Cool!

NEAT!

Ok, Now I've got myself sorted out.. list of changes to take place in this mod.

Replacement images for the majority of human equiptment, namely pistols, rifles and ammunition.

No original voicework will remain, all will be changed.

A couple of changes for gun sounds, namely the AK-47 and Styer.

This is the goal I've set myself for the inital version.

What I would like to do later on:

Add in a random/situation based comment generator for troops "I hate this place, man" "I think I heard a noise", ect. That most likely requires coding though, so I'll see what I can gank off others.

Add in a few more weapons. I liked the rebalance mod, but would love to try to have an expansion mod that has a focus on more real-world weaponry and items, fun as Beserk Armor and BFG's are.

I liked the ALPINE mod that added in enemy humans, despite its bug og not generating human faces. I'd love to have that expanded upon, perhaps a better retexture for the enemy humans, stolen paramilitary gear with bio-gunk sticking out of it... converted humans.. hmm.

Anyway, sticking to the original outline. I'll have something solid out before I embark on flights of fancy.

i'll be waiting for the outcome

Another teaser for interested parties. A complete swap for one of the voices. Not packed, although the enterprising amoung you may wish to do so, but this should give you an idea of what we're looking at. I must say it takes a depressingly long time to get even one voiceset all set up, but I'll struggle on.

The zip is 1.2 MB in size and I expect it will blow my bandwidth in short order as I'm hosting off angelfire. If anyone else wants to mirror it, I wellcome it.

Sweet, LOL still trying to figure out half of what he was saying

at least he don't sound like a backwood retard (not that I got anything against backwood retards mind you)

LOL for the cyborgs, you could get some voices from star wars, old R2-D2 voices, and drive everybody nuts

if you got 2 of them , you could have 3PCPO to explain what the other had just said

"he said, duck, there is a Big M, oh never mind"

good work

Well, this mods not in conjunction with the RB mod atm, so I wont be doing voices for the cyborgs, thats up to the good blokes on the RB team, though once I get this done I would be more than happy to see the voices incorperated into the nect version of RB. Lets face it, the voices needed addressing... gawwd.. "Sir Ah think ah got him..."

*Shudders*

Also you might have trouble making out what he's saying, *L*

Its a pretty strong Aussie accent, lets see who can be the first to pick the name of the JA 2 merv it belongs to.

Roger
JA2 ? hmmm, I had most of them, but I don't remember his voice, got the new/modded rebuild one on order, should be out soon

in my online flight sims, I fly with some Aussies , and it can be a real blast on something like RW/BC where you can talk and hear them

yea the game voices can be pretty bad, and I am just starting, the demo was driving me up the wall

if those are the best the Earth has to offer, we be in trouble

HARD_Sarge

Aussie you say...well i guess it will be me...i'll have a guess once its done

Nice! I'll see about getting it hosted here. Keep up the good work!

it sound realy nice...but there are some voices in wrongf areas..i mean they wrong stuff at the wrong time....eg...sulection"god damn my gun is empty"??? now what is that

but other wise...i would love to have it instead of the...i cannnnt ggeeeetttt ttthhhheeerreee aannyyy moooreee siiiiirrr" you get the picture

plz add a normal russian to the crew sound plz

He says "Sod it, me guns empty" on selection? :o Blimey...

Mmm, thats quite odd. The sound files for selection should have him saying "Yes?", "G'day, how yer doing?", and "How ya doin'?"

Mebbe they got mislabeled... Bear in mind I havent converted them to the same sampling rate as UFO yet, Aralez PM'ed to say that the mod worked for selection, then went stuttery, then he went silent. Possibly the same thing. I'll be converting all the wav's to 44100hz by the end of this.

If your proposal is for real, i would be honored to include the voicefiles into the next RB-Mod I hope Slaughter has place for the HUGE file then

One replacement voice is about ~1 MB packed, so this would be around 40MB for the voices alone, the rest of the RB-Mod should be about ~30 MB, so 70MB would be necessary. :angel:

WOW...thats a lot...but i guess now..it cant be a rebalnce mod...cause it would work a a fconverter..abit..so i guess we should make a new name for it...jagendinvasion...cause it has jaged sounds and ufo mutons...well its upto you

We will just have to remove some of the older Rebalance mods then, and we'll have the capacity. But I want the voices and the mod in two separate files if so! Anyway, keep up the good work!

Not to rush any one but...

ahhh, my new fancy skilled Lady got into action for the first time, I was ready to shoot her myself (funny, looked like one of the squad felt the same way, he kept missing the real target and getting close hits towards her)

the simi retarded sounding ones are bad enough, but she is murder
