Voice-lines for new units

[Caeltos]

Post some voice-line proposals here.

We MIGHT have something in store on that front. We're at least making some progress, so this might not be that far off now. But again, who knows what kind of technical issues we might bump into?

[viggih]

Perhaps we need a list of units that you want voice lines for?

[Caeltos]

The thread name should have sufficed.

It's for the new units.

That means the following;

- Chaos Raptors
- Chaos Terminators
- Chaos Land Raider Phobos
- Sternguards
- Vanguards
- Whirlwind
- Doom of Malan'tai (?)
- Fire Dragons
- Dark Reapers
- Painboy
- Flash Gitz
- Artillery Spotters
- Kaskrins

Grey Knights are optional if you want to list them, but it's a far more undertaking.

[Codex]

Raptors:

"We swoop down on our prey!"
"We live for the hunt!" (Recycle from DOW1)
"Maim! Burn! KILL!"

Doom of Malantai:

"Heeeeee.... haaaaa" (hissing)

Flash Gitz:

"Mah shootaz flashia/bigga den yourz!"
or...
"You'z gitz may be bigga, but my shootaz MASSIVE!"

[nemra]

that's awesome, will you guys be accepting submissions? if so - is there some kind of response priority? ( like orders received, unit arrival, order attack, enemy spotted, ally spotted, point captured, retreat, victory... etc etc ) lol

[Dark Riku]

Painboy

On seeing another Ork:
- "Ey you, lemme try out my (new) stabby bits."

When Healing:
-"Come 'ere." (followed by laughing)
-- alt: "Come 'ere, dis won't hurt ... ME! (followed by laughing)
- From Lexicanum (part): "Rite, first I'll take those teef out for yer, dat should help ease da pain in yer leg."
-From Lexicanum: "It's gonna hurt a lot, but you'll be better! You'll see! Ha ha ha!"

When capping (or ordered to cap?)
"Oy what's this thingy do? Does it give me some new stabby bits to play with?"

When moving:
- "(Ok,) who needs sum serjery?"
- "(Oy,) where's my serjery table?"
-- alt: "(Oy,) where's my serjery table?" Ah zog it, 'ere will do!"

When idling (or moving without anything in sight?):
-- "I wanna do sumthing. Let's find me my next victim!" (followed by lauging)

Note: stabby bits are the medical tools a painboy uses. (Source: lexicanum)



Sternguard/Vanguard

Sterngaurd only: When loading different ammunition:
- "Loading Dragonfire Bolts; Hellfire Rounds; Kraken bolts; Vengeance Rounds."
- "Victory (often) rests on the correct weaponry being in the right place at the right time."

On seeing chaos (possibly only HI/SHI squads?):
- "Traitors! Load Kraken rounds Brothers!"

On seeing Chaos:
- "Traitors! Kill .. them .. all!
- "Traitors! Let non escape our Holy Bolter fire!" [sternguard]
-- Alt: "Traitors! Let non escape our Holy Bolter fire Brothers!"

Capturing points:
-- "Capturing Victory point/power node/requisition point as requested."

When idling (or moving without anything in sight?):
- "Heresy grows from idleness."

???:
- "We carry the Emperor's will as our torch"
-- Alt: "We carry the Emperor's will as our torch and with it we shall crush the enemy."



Whirlwind

???
- "Missiles hot Commander"

When firing:
- "Missiles away."
- "Indirect shells incoming (commander)."
- "This should stir them up a bit."



Artillery Spotters

When firing:
- "Incoming!"
- "[name] incoming sir!"

When firing closeby:
- "Danger close!"
- "To close, to close!" [panicky]
-- Alt: "To close...[panicky] (get's silenced/curt of) Shut up before they have us both executed."
- "The commander is mad!"



Forgive me if some of these are already in the game :p
[Will prolly update some later on when I think of more and have more time.]

[Indrid]

Raptors

[Jumping] "From above, we will tear them apart!"
[Capping] "Land there and capture it!"
[Spot SM] "The Emperor's Lapdogs are here, we will end them!"
[Spot Nids] "Tyranids! Crash down and slaughter their kind!"
[Spot Orks] "The Orks are among us, let us give them the violence they crave"
[Spot Eldar] "The Eldar have shown themselves, time to silence their delusions of grandeur"

[Ranged Combat] "Taking ranged fire, close the distance!"
[Melee Combat] "They would engage us in melee? Leave none alive!"

[AC Upgrade] "A champion leads us, his rise will be glorious"

Already sent these to Caeltos, but thought I'd post them here too.

[Alexwellace]

Dark Reapers

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMaIzW6qhnQ)

Howe many lines are we looking at for each new unit? Don't most units in retail have up to ten minutes of the stuff!

[Orkfaeller]

I'm tottally for bringing back as many DoW1 Lines as possible.

But I guess direct recycling ( like the actual files ) isnt possible cause of copyright ( or whatever the corect terminology it might be here ) reasons?


Raptors:

On Retreat:

"Flee! The Enemy has us in their Grasp!"

"They won... for now."


Engaging the Enemy:

"We see the Prey. We will strike it down."

"Gut 'em!"


Receiving Upgrade:

"Now I have the Power to destroy EVERYTHING!"



Taking Point:

"This Errand is beneath me."


???:

"After a thousand battles, one only sees death." (- it used to be a Chaos Predator Line but I'd like to see it return)

[TomastheTankEngine]

If I can get the files in FSB sound format which DoW2 requires I can look at getting them into the game with the BSC files.

[Lag]

I will come up with the list of all the required lines for a single unit and post it here as a form. Sunday.

[Commissar Yarrick]

I can try to make orc painboy sound. I have done some ork speaking practice for a time already.

[Lost Son of Nikhel]

Chaos Raptors
Jumping
- ¡Ave Dominus Nox!
- Jump, night sons!
- They will see the face of fear!
- Our black wings will be the last thing they are going to see.
- Jump and eviscerate them!

Retreating
- Back to the dark!
- To the Temple!
- We're out of here! NOW!

Clicking them
- We are the Raptors. We are the fear.
- Chaos Raptors
- We are the prey?

[MaxPower]

Vanguard

spotting eldar: Smite now the scions of the Witch!
spotting chaos: Grant us the strength to pierce their unclean flesh! alt. Fear our name, for it is vengeance.
spotting ig: Unto the anvil of war! - because the IG refers to itself as the hammer of the Imperium
spotting sm: We are coming. Look to the skies for your salvation. alt. My sword is at the Emperor's command
spotting orks: Slay the beast and the horde will die.

[Red Beard]

Dear Caeltos,

Besides adding new voice-lines to these units will it be possible to change their voices too?
Case in point the Chaos Terminators have the same voice as havocs and csm.
Even raptors. Can you change their voices too? not only raptors ans Chaos termies but also the other units.

Thanks

[Castle]

I have a bunch from the process tried before, I will post them soon when I find them

[Dark Riku]

That's the whole idea Beard...

[Red Beard]

That's the whole idea Beard...

Ooooh...oops.my bad.

[Jazz-Sandwich]

Bout time I start to check this forum more regularly....

Yah, I'm the dude currently undertaking work on voice-overs for various units. As of the moment, I've got some completed for chaos terminators, raptors, and the ork painboy.

@Indrid, you mentioned that you have sent Caeltos some scripts? Could you pass some along my way please? I'm generally okay with writing dialogue, but there's an absolute load of lines required for DOW2 units, so any help I can get with that regard is appreciated. That said - I'm really liking many of the suggestions I'm seeing in this thread.

I'll admit, my primary experience with this stuff is with DOW 1, and you'll notice that my chaos terminator responses in particular are modeled heavily on the space marine terminator VO in the original DOW. All is subject to change I guess, a new approach may be necessary.

Sample of the chaos termies set: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0lm4g9g3uf93h ... review.mp3

Sample of the raptors set: https://www.dropbox.com/s/f1vw6jv4ir2o0 ... review.mp3

Sample of the painboy set: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bomp3mev4bj55 ... oy_WIP.mp3

Now, these are all WIP, and I've been known to take a dislike to a set halfway through in an attempt to find the best approach. In particular, that painboy line I previewed needs some more...'oomph' at the AAAAAAGH, oi fink boss.

As for the raptors... again, I tried to make it similar enough to the DOW2 chaos marine voice, yet more...rough, deliberately harsh, dudes who try to instill fear. Like space batman. Evil space batman. With guns....hmm...

Oh, and small sampling of some more of my work can be found here: http://www.moddb.com/members/jazz-sandwich

Have a good one, folks.

[Indrid]

They are just the ones I posted here already.

[Red Beard]

@Jazz Sandwich

The chaos terminators sound AWESOME!!!!

I like ^^

[Jazz-Sandwich]

It just occurred to me that this may be an opportunity to include some lines referencing the grey knights. Would it be worthwhile to prepare some responses referring to attack orders/spotting/damage taken regarding a grey knight enemy?

[TomastheTankEngine]

Thought I would let you all know how the new speech integration is going. As you might know it is fairly easy to replace sounds but adding new ones is a problem. There are 3 problems that need to be over come.

Firstly is linking the RBF speech codes to the BSC files which are the playlists for the speech files. This is explained by cope here: http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread. ... new-heroes and is fairly well understood.

The second and third items are related to the caching of the BCS and FSB files. These are files which tell the DoW engine what sound files need to be loaded. They are fairly simple binary files, but I need to understand them a little more so I can start injecting new references. This will probably take a couple weeks but hopefully after that we can start injecting new speech.

[Torpid]

Really liking the voice-work so far Jazz, good job!

[Castle]

Hi all,

Here is a list of voice lines from previous threads, started over on Gamereplays and other locations, from last year's attempt to get new lines into Elite and the DOW2 mod community. These lines are compiled from many other people who took the time to post them, with some editing or changes from me. Please feel free to copy and edit as you like, but do keep me informed and please keep the structure intact or improve upon it.

I had planned to record many of these myself at some point, but things changed and did not pan-out. Thus, additionally, I have added a "Key" of sorts denoting (nearly) all the possible ques/clicks or actions to be considered as categories, and also easily informs whomever is recording the lines as to what the action is the in-game model is taking. There is a lot to be done just with new units for current factions, let alone the entirety of the Grey Knights

Data-basing this process is likely best. Is someone doing that? I suppose I can database all this at some point if no one else is able to do so. However, let me know if further editing here is needed by me at this time.

I am also still willing to do voice work, but the studio available to me is likely in need of maintenance still, so any lines I complete will be of semi-pro caliber from home.

I have tried to leave indication and easy copy/paste notation for what is needed still, per unit or squad by faction. Also, not all the line categories necessarily line up with the key terms, as this has been an ongoing process by hand. And plenty of categories need to be added per unit that have lines already... I will get around to cleaning it up or someone can take it from here.

If you listen to the game while playing, there is A LOT of variety. So, about 3 of each category of line per unit or squad is needed (ie 3 different ways of responding to being moved etc.)

The key of terms below is based around first-person unit-specific, third-person player narrative-informative:

*note: these actions or terms in the Key are NOT based off of any particular code from within the game engine.

GREY KNIGHTS

<all GK units need lines, including: a new hero, a new dreadnaught and a new librarian sub-commander>

Hi all,

Here is a list of voice lines from previous threads, started over on Gamereplays and other locations, from last year's attempt to get new lines into Elite and the DOW2 mod community. These lines are compiled from many other people who took the time to post them, with some editing or changes from me. Please feel free to copy and edit as you like, but do keep me informed and please keep the structure intact or improve upon it.

I had planned to record many of these myself at some point, but things changed and did not pan-out. Thus, additionally, I have added a "Key" of sorts denoting (nearly) all the possible ques/clicks or actions to be considered as categories, and also easily informs whomever is recording the lines as to what the action is the in-game model is taking. There is a lot to be done just with new units for current factions, let alone the entirety of the Grey Knights

Data-basing this process is likely best. Is someone doing that? I suppose I can database all this at some point if no one else is able to do so. However, let me know if further editing here is needed by me at this time.

I am also still willing to do voice work, but the studio available to me is likely in need of maintenance still, so any lines I complete will be of semi-pro caliber from home.

I have tried to leave indication and easy copy/paste notation for what is needed still, per unit or squad by faction. Also, not all the line categories necessarily line up with the key terms, as this has been an ongoing process by hand. And plenty of categories need to be added per unit that have lines already... I will get around to cleaning it up or someone can take it from here.

If you listen to the game while playing, there is A LOT of variety. So, about 3 of each category of line per unit or squad is needed (ie 3 different ways of responding to being moved etc.)

The key of terms below is based around first-person unit-specific, third-person player narrative-informative:

*note: these actions or terms in the Key are NOT based off of any particular code from within the game engine.

Jazz--I just listened to some your previews, nice!

Just to try and help: the Chaos termies sound a little 'deliberate' in the way the lines are delivered. All your other previews sound pretty darn convincing and "natural" in comparison . Again, nice work!

Last: is there anyway you could post a guide for consistency and help, for others who are seeking to add voice work? eg. the settings you are using to modulate or warp your voice?

I can do a lot in Audacity, but I could use some pointers and would like to be sure that if I do add recordings that the FX are nearly the same for Chaos, Orks etc etc. This will vastly improve consistency of sound for final deployment and get the ball rolling for others; me included.

If such help or such a guide has been linked or posted, I apologize if I missed it...

Cheers
