I have a good question!!!

Is there going to be speech dialogs when you come in contact with major or minor races like in BOTF?

If so do you need someone to do voices, recording etc. or are you going to use the ones from the original game?

as we have far more minors than the origanel we will eventually need to record intros for all minors and majors.

LOL whatever you do dont let MOE recored it heheheheheehehehh welsh acsent not being evil or out but its very hard to undersatnd like mine lol


You encounted a sheep GO YOU!!!

If we go the BOTF method and have 1 voice for each major, and have them speak about the minors when you meet them. That should be enough i think.

Lol Billy has actual experience with trying to understand my accent...

I agree with Skeeter, having one voice is good. If we have multiple people doing voice-overs for each race it would be wierd. The BOTF system worked, so I don't see why we should change it.

yea but you just have to find some1 with a sexy deep manly (west yourshire) voice lol no i got terible accsent u need a women rely so mabey jade
????

I did voice overs for all the new races in Ultimate Mod. They were ok but I had a crappy microphone, so they didn't come out very loud or clear (not like the studio quality of the BOTF1 recordings certainly). I also refused to due a Ferengi impression, so those were done with a plain voice, lol. And no, Matress will not be performing with his Welsh accent!! hehehhe

only kidding dude, hey, perhaps I could do broad Bristolian like I did in UM, lol...?

Im sure we would get a overwhelming responce if we posted for jobs on other trek related forums. Theres enough trekkies out there i think.

Understatement of the century alert!

It's ok, I understand people not wanting Welsh Romulans in the game. I'm happy with Dr Who anyway...

you think that there could be a romulan with a welsh acsent that be ace

Na, I wouldn't want to have my voice in the game. Besides, i'm already making my own contributions - some of my ideas are in the game and i'm making the random events. I'm happy enough with that.

your such a show off hahahahahah

my deep masculine voice would be a great contribution. sadly i dont have enough time to professionally record soundsamples

I use to do voice acting (ie commercials, etc) Maybe you could just prepare text and tell people to record themselves saying it (ie for whatever race) and then sit around one day choosing which ones you like best for which races, etc. That's usually how you do it in the biz.

Do we also have home-made or free-to-use sound effects for menu navigation like in botf (you remember the short klicking menu control sounds representing LCARS sound effects)? At sharepoint there's kenneth's folder with battle sound effects but I didn't find a menu sound folder.

I have some voices to go with menus but have not worked on any sound effect.

If you want to record then what we need right now are voices for the combat engine. The statements need to fit into fast passed combat so we are limited to one, two or at most three word phrases. I was hoping for a lot of variety in voices and wording, as much as you can with only one or two words. I have set up the folder to hold the recordings for each major races and suggested the nature of the wording in the names of the folder.

This link goes to the Romulan Combat folder. Come up with some recordings and we will upload them.

I could raid my Trek games for sound files if you really need them Mal, but those wouldn't be home-made nor free-to-use then. I've got BOTF, Legacy, Armada 1, and Starfleet Command 2, so that's a lot of potential files...

I have the botf ones as well and I think those ones would be enough anyway. Just wanted to know if recreating those is on the to-do-list .

I collected some sounds from soundsnap.com . They've got tons of good&free menu sounds and also some nice combat voices (search for "shields" there). Some are here in the package: http://svn.star-trek-games.com/birth/Sounds.7z
