Mod Feedback request: Changes Vasari racial voice to a race from Swords of The Stars

Download the sample then vote for which race you feel is best suited to replace the Vasari

from Sins Forums

Due to popular request I'm in the beginning of working on a mod to change the Vasari's grating voices to somthing more pleasant, specifically a racial sound pack from Swords fo the Stars.

Since I'm doing this largely for the community; (I hardly play as them so don't really care one way or another)

I figured I'd put out a few simple voice samples for people to download (less than 700kb download and encoded in wave format so you can just play it with any sound program) and get peoples feedback on which voice sounds most fitting for the Vasari.

Download, listen, and post, once I get enough feedback on this I'll get to work on the voice mod and provide it for download.

Also, if anyone has any voice change requests for the other two races (perhaps incorporating some of hte humans voice packs form SOTS into the TEC of Sins) feel free to mention it here as well.

Thanks you saved me the trouble of doing it myself. On a side note for the record I would consider contacting Paradox and asking them for permission to reuse their stuff in a mod for Sins since SoTS is an active title yet. Just so there are no issues created. I dont see why they would object unless they licensed the voice work. They have respect for SD products and the community is pretty much a shared one from what I can tell. I'm sure they recognize that fact as well.

On a side note, I would love to see a day when Paradox and SD/IC would merge. I mentioned the idea on Parasox's forums and one of devs responded in what I took as a similar feeling. Now that would be a company for gamers to be sure.

Thanks for the suggestion, any idea who I should go contacting about this? (as in an e-mail addy or something?) I'm hoping to get a response in a timely fashion, and sending it to someone who can't answer it and has to foward it and so forth, just takes a long time....

great idea silveressa.
As a primarily vasari player, i don't actually mind the voices, but they are far from enjoyable.

After a few quick listens, hell i would take any of those 3 over vasari.

But my favorite has got to be the third one, simply because for some reason i always pictured vasari as a reptilian race, and that sample fit perfectly
The second voice sample was good too, but that might be a bit too similar to advent for some peoples tastes. But i like it too.

Anyways i wish you the best of luck with this mod, and hope to be able to test it out soon.

I only play the Vasari and I like the ladies voice but as was pointed out the Vasari are reptilian.

Regarding who to contact I would suggest making a post on the forums or looking for someone from Paradox. I mentioned my idea of a SD/Para merger and the marketing guy responded with a smiley so I would start with him.

Alrighty, after some inquiries at Kerberos Productions (the people who made sots) they told me the following:

As long as you do not profit from your mod, and give credit to the original source and voice actors, there is nothing to stop you.
End of quote


So now that's out of the way look for my mod end of this week/beginning of the next.

Most everyone who;s bothered to give input has mentioned Hivers (voice sample #3) so I'll be doing them first, and might do the Tarkas afterwards if anyone has a real desire to see their voices rather than the Hivers.

A bump for Silveressa... did you end up doing the voice mod after all?
