voices

Overview

This ini type defines voice sounds. Please note that while having the same section nickname, voices and sounds do not share the same INI syntax.

Vanilla Examples

• DATA\AUIO\voices_base_female.ini
• DATA\AUIO\voices_base_male.ini
• DATA\AUIO\voices_mission**.ini
• DATA\AUIO\voices_recognizable.ini
• DATA\AUIO\voices_space_female.ini
• DATA\AUIO\voices_space_male.ini

Syntax

Voices use two different sections to associate voices together. Each Voice section selects a voice and sets the animation that is being used. Every following Sound section defines what sounds will be played with the selected animation for the selected voice.

This means that when the game looks for message gcs_combat_scream_01- for voice atc_leg_f01, it will first find the Sound section for gcs_combat_scream_01- which is listed within a Voice section that extends atc_leg_f01. It will then display the animation as defined by the scripts in the Voice section.
