      Assuming someone voice-acted everything the ATCs might say in BMS, would you be able to replace the default male ATC and female ATC voices? Different scenario: Would you be able to keep the default voices and add additional voices? i.e. having 4 or 5 different ATCs rather than just the default two?

        Heya,

        generally speaking the answer would be yes to both the questions
        iirc there is about 12 or 13 voices already available just not all are used as I found out way back when I added the fence check stuff you can see all the phases in the file called F4Talk**** IIRC on my laptop at the mo so cant check but its something like that

          Ninja would know, way better than me but, My guess is that it is no simple task because it’s been discussed for many years without any “major” changes.
          Although, the ITO does have an option for Hebrew voices but, I don’t know to what extent.

            Mystic_J recently released a mod to have a Greek AWACS/GCI, so replacing them can be done (don’t know about adding, though), but he says there were over 1500 files that needed changing, so will be a time-consuming project.

              I personally like the female voices, … even if she talks BS sometimes. 😉

                Nothing like pullin’ Gs with a scratchy old lady voice in your ear. Oh yeah. :headb:

                  1500 files

                  Is roughly Half the total number of sound files in the .tlk file 😉

                  and Badger is totally correct it is not a project for the faint hearted to take on trust me on that one 🙂

                    well is there any good text to speech program that can save text input as wav? like an automated thing? doing it manually is rather painful and way time consuming…

                    this looks like it… http://www.bytecool.com/batch_convert_text_to_wav.htm

                    I’m just converting the F4Talk95v1-0-0.csv to see how it goes…

                    Edit: Buhhhh not that good… like Hawkings is on ATC.

                    There are some (payware) that are very good… some online I tried they where pretty good… If they where available then translate and very quickly one can create multilingual voices for Falcon…

                        Don’t hate me, but in F4AF I always loved the Balkans ATC voices.

                          That would be a HUGE undertaken. I would actually like to know how much time was invested when Microprose did just the voice files. About 9 years ago I did all the Balkans ATC voices for just the Tower names for a theater project and just that was almost 4 months of work of an easy 6-8 hours a week.

                          At this point the only way to change the current voice system is to implement a complete new system or develop some applications that would make the process easier. For every single voice file and (there are thousands) you need to record the voice, edit the sample, crop the sample, and then drop it in, and of course hope its any good. When I did mine, I went through many trials and errors, making sure the spacing was decent so the voice frags were fluid together.

                            I can second that.

                            IMO, the best approach is to keep the current 2 voices, and if necessary, try to craft new samples close enough to the original voices with a voice editing software.
