Advent Voices, abilitys, research, structure, and ships Names/Sound changes.

Making the Advent less creepy, and more believalbe.

from Sins Forums

      I'm very new to modding SoaSE, so please bear with my lack of knowledge. Currently, (Atleast for me) the advent are alittle unbelievable, psychic stuff just isnt my cup of tea.  How could I step by step, do: Change ship names (Disiple Ship to Attack vessel), Change voices ("We are listening"- Echo'n girl to "Standing by"- Single male voice), Research Tree/Research building Names (Temple of hostility to Combat center), and Ect.

   Please dont flame me, I'm aware on how annoying it can be with someone with no modding knowledge running around bothering people.

Thanks in advance- Monkeyshine

Okay.

Interesting idea, what are you asking?

 

If you don't want to be flamed. Pls Don't ask "How do I do it?"

Ask very specific down to earth, stright forward questions.

Voice changing should be pretty easy. You'll need a computer microphone and probably a file converter to change the output file into a .ogg. Then you just have to rename the files in order to replace them. I'm actually going to start doing some voice changes, so once I actually get to it, hopefully I'll help a bit better.

And don't worry about being flamed! ^_^ Most SOASE fans are a lot friendlier and helpful than some other game's fans. ^_^

Pretty much all the text you see in game is in the String/[Install Language].STR file. Advent stuff is generally identified by the PSI tag in their .entity filenames, which will point to the neccesary sound files and string lines.

Any one know of a good converter? The one I'd been using was... subpar.

I have a mic, what programs do I need? Also where do I put the new files?

you put the new files in the Sound folder, just make sure to match naming conventions. Files need to be in .ogg format.

I suggest searching Google and download.com for programs to record from the mic. Or see if the mic came with one.

Audacity is a free progam you can use for basic recoding.
