annoyances - audio

    Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I find the female voice when docking etc to be extremely annoying.


    Is it possible to edit what is actually said, I don't need it to tell me anything other than warning of mines or radiation damage.


    The most annoying thing to me is when it says "dock in use, entering Q", to me it sounds almost pornographic considering Q = Quintaine.


    No doubt this will raise a laugh even though it's a serious question.

    If Muting the Dialogue bar (if there is any, Im not ingame) doesnt wokr you might want to consider the following:
    Go to your FL path/data/audio and look for the annoying Stuff, once you found it, renaming should do. But its not really worth the effort, deactivating the chatting sound around Planet CF almost took me 1 hour, and that was only 1 files to look for.
    In other words you better find a dialogue bar to mute


    Anyway, Good Luck

    You can edit this, but it is not for the weak of heart.


    Vanilla uses 3 docking characters, a male, a female and a robot: m01, f01 and f01a
    All three would have to be edited for a global effect. Matching the voices perfectly would be difficult, basically find other phrases they speak and cut and paste in an editing program to make a new phrase.


    Or you can do a full edit. Each docking character (called atc_leg_m01 etc) has around 418 wav files. They are fairly complicated to edit. See this link to read more:

    Oh, wisdom is appearing - hello :)


    Just a short question about the utf files - is there anywhere a reference where all the voice files are located and listed, it´s quite anoying to open any utf file listen the files via mediaplayer to find out that you found dexters race instead what you was searching for? :)


    I just wanted to make a video with original voices in - so it probably would be too much making an index for it ^^

    Each voice ini file can have multiple entries for the same phrase, one for each voice type listed in it. For instance, open voices_space_male.ini and notice the [voice] headers as you go down. First you will see the atc (docking character), then the mission commission fella (mc) then all the male pilots. All of the pilots have identical phrases, but different voices. One of my tutorials there lists all the voices in each file.


    If you wanted the files for a particular voice, simply open the appropriate utf file with utf2xml.exe.

    thank you DwnUndr for the help, but before anyone says something, I'm not editing any mod, just the original game on a 3rd PC, so if I screw up, I can still play the game on one of the other 2 computers.

    thanks for the info, ill try it
