I'd pair it with this, with +100 distortion and echo.

[QUOTE=EmilyVasquez;50590950]Question (And sorry for asking this): Should we remove giving credits to Pelpix from the OP's post since she was found out to be a compulsive liar/bad person (There's a thread explaining about it in G.D) or no?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=EmilyVasquez;50590956]It happened two hours ago. If you want a link to it [URL="https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1524419"]here you go.[/URL][/QUOTE]

I want to address this briefly (since im the OP and all), as it happened while i was out doing stuff with the parents and whatnot, people stuff.

Im not going to assume one way or the other, ive only started reading through and whatnot, but in any event i dont want to get involved in whatever the fuck this is, im sure nobody else in here does either, so ive removed references to her from the OP and given the Overwatch credit to Civ's planned Captain Dickhead thing or whatnot, and based on the ratings of that first post, it seems you guys agree with that, so its been done.

I just dont want whatevers going on there to bleed over here.

[b]THAT BEING SAID.[/b]

While i catch up with the thread, can someone give me a tl;dr of some stuff you guys came up with incase i miss anything while doing said catching up?

im really entertained by the thought of grigori being mickey simply because he basically runs a zombie filled theme park of death

so here we go

i flubbed the line on this one but the result was entertaining anyway so:

[url=https://soundcloud.com/birkenstocks-1/mickeygrigori-5]this one is a bit dark and maybe a bit soon but so is ravenholm.[/url]

[editline]25th June 2016[/editline]

there are so many perfect opportunities to throw in small little jokes too

[media]https://soundcloud.com/birkenstocks-1/mickeygrigori-7[/media]

(original line is: "there is no rest in ravenholm")

[Skunky]

Can I call dips on fucking around with the talker scripts. That way you can add in even more voice lines for Citizens or just NPCs in general. (Although I can't fuck around with scripted events, with a few exceptions.)

[Doctor Smiles]

So how far are we going in replacing things? Just everything? Also, do we intend to add any new lines or songs anywhere?

[Destroyox]

I think I'm going to do the rest of everything in the "alarms" folder. I have ideas for every file.

[BrickInTheHead]

Honestly while it's not my baby / choice I really think it should be more restricted to dialogue and creature noises, and maybe a bit of music editing here and there but not too much. In those mods where literally everything is edited you really start to lose the clarity on a lot of it so it becomes harder to appreciate what's there imo

Like I think all FX (footsteps gun noises etc etc) should all basically remain the same, so it doesn't get too distracted. Stuff like alarms and siren noises etc are all good though as they are effectively environmental dialogue anyway, like the PA system.

Basically just to avoid too much repetitive stuff.

my 2 cents

[Destroyox]

Just make 2 versions. One without FX being voiced and one with.

[Dr. Darkly]

i kinda wanna do the male New Little Odessa rebels
but only if i can say Corporal Cabbage instead of Colonel Cubbage

[EmilyVasquez]

Do you guys think it'd be good to replace Dr. Breen's Letter Reading with Dr. Breen reading [URL="http://pastebin.com/TFFJWYzi"]a poem[/URL]? If so I'll make a recording of it tomorrow.

oh hell yes. I had a gruff unflappable old man voice in my head. The sort you find more at the pub than at home, who's more beard and scotch than man.

like this guy, if he had brian blessed's beard and a pint.

Also if you folks could help me with some local wordings and dialect i'd appreciate it. I kinda wandered towards Glasgow towards the end there.

[Snark]

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;50595728]Also, I put a custom/sound/npc/zombie folder in the HL2 directory with my .wavs, but ingame it's dead silence. What can I do about that?[/QUOTE]

*** Invalid sample rate (48000) for sound 'npc\zombie\zombie_alert1.wav'.

Change sampling rate to 44100.

[EmilyVasquez]

What's the name of the Breencast file that welcomes you to City 17 and how do i replace sound files in HL2 :v:?

[editline]25th June 2016[/editline]

Tomorrow i plan on trying to record a few of Dr. Breen's voice lines. Also hope you don't mind me messing with the quotes so they aren't just Kermit re-reading all of Dr. Breen's lines. If any of you guys could help me make the lines better add me on Steam.

"sound/vo/breencast/[B]br_welcome01-07[/B]"

To replace soundfiles, you gotta do [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=252166735"]something like this,[/URL] but instead of doing the whole model folder thing, you'll have to create 3 more folders with the name "sound", "vo" and "breencast" and in the breencast folder you can put in the soundfiles with their proper names.

Atleast I think that's how it works.

[suXin]

When you record your lines make sure they're exactly of the same duration, if they're shorter - game seems to corrupt the line ending.

Also I think it would be a good idea to pack your lines with appropriate subtitles.

unfortunately I won't be able to finish all lines today

I'm pretty sure that can be fixed.

Try snd_rebuildaudiocache (if that command even still exists, rip.) Nope, it doesn't. Oops!

Actually now when I listen to this, I feel like the direction is wrong here, not sure what I really want to do with it

[Spor]

Forgot to upload the clean version

[media]https://youtu.be/K30-VzNxvfY[/media]

I don't know if I should do more songs, I feel that it would get old, and I really want to see what other (actually creative) minds can do.

Agree for no more songs
Disagree for many more songs
Optimistic for 1 - 3 more songs, spaced out far in the story.

[QUOTE=suXin;50597062]Actually now when I listen to this, I feel like the direction is wrong here, not sure what I really want to do with it[/QUOTE]

The voice actor talks quietly, but Father is supposed to be screaming because he's far.

[EmilyVasquez]

Question: Even though it doesn't sound like the way Dr. Breen says it should we use the Breencast i made a recording of or no because if not then i can try to re-do it if you want (and maybe add some new lines here and there). Press Agree for keeping it or Disagree for a re-do.

[suXin]

[QUOTE=Spor;50597093]The voice actor talks quietly, but Father is supposed to be screaming because he's far.[/QUOTE]

I think this is because I tried to do it emotionless which in result sucks shit, so now I tried another much more wacky take

[QUOTE=chipsnapper2;50595567]Okay, let's just get this out of the way now:
Allahu Akbar Zombine.[/QUOTE]

We should have alternating voice clips of Allahu Akbar, Leeroy Jenkins, and Tenno Heika Banzai.

This is perfect. Way better what I had in mind.

[suXin]

oh shit I actually missed that mickey grigori, and I like it. AaronM202 tell what would you keep? I may just ditch voicing and instead mess with SDK later so we can add more facepunch powered crap.

Oh my fucking god this is the greatest. Please let this one be used
Though I think for some characters we should have multiple voices for different sections of the game. Keep everyone on their toes.

I think every main character's voices except Alyx [sp]and Gordon's?[/sp] should change after Nova Prospekt's teleporter. :v:

I kinda wanna do Father Gregori as some batshit born again christian preacher from the deep south

I can do the voice pretty god damn well too (people are still sleeping and I'd rather not record my self screaming about [i]THE LAWD[/i] so I'll do it a bit later)

[EmilyVasquez]

Question: Should I replace City 17 with Sesame Street on the Breencasts?
