does anyone mind if i redo the voice acting with a deeper voice and better... VA'ing overall?

hate to break this to you, but your voice was one of the best in the whole campaign.  I don't think it could be improved on

[Mongoose]

Trust me, Cobra, you don't want to start down that road.  I think that anyone who's ever made something probably has moments where they think, "What if I had done that differently?  It would have been so much better." However, if you follow that credo, you'll never get anything finished to your satisfaction.  There are a few lines I wish I had done a little bit better, but what's done is done.  Most importantly, you don't hear anyone giving anything but praise for the voiceacting, do you?

Great art is never finished. It is simply abandoned.

Agreed. Don't worry about changing it. I especially liked the last mission dialogue between you and Ransom should the mission fail.

[Freyr]

Just finished 

I haven't had that much fun for ages, thanks to everyone that put time into the campaign, you did a great job!

[Mongoose]

All of this reminds me...I haven't even made it to my own second stint of voiceacting yet. I know there was at least one debreifing in there that was a huge solid paragraph and took me 50 takes or so to get right; thank God that's all in the past.

No wonder SOR isn't released yet.

[Korsriddare]

He means the exe. Swapping those should be pretty simple if you only use the 3.6.7 media VPs.

I am using the 3.6.8 media VPs too, since 3.6.7 will not work when I tried to load an earlier mission.

[2FB]

I just download this mod, and I have played the first mission, the voice are nice, but it see hey have echo.... and the volume is wierd...

[Mongoose]

I don't recall any of the voice roles in that mission having any noticeable echo myself.  As for the volume, that's really a consequence of the fact that we all pretty much used amateur equipment (i.e. really crappy mikes ) to record our lines.  I found that the best strategy was to open up the options menu (from the main hall or by hitting F2 when in-mission), increase the voice volume to maximum, and decrease the music and sound effects volumes to about half.  Then, after you've played for a little while, you can go back and bump up the music/effects volumes as you desire.

[Nix]

Well I actually just finished playing Derelict with the voice pack for the first time and I have to say it was stunning for what we've all done.  I'm quite proud of everyone involved. Great work everyone!  Anyone else interested in VA work, I'd be happy to help out if needed. 

As for echoes with the voice files, perhaps you need the latest OpenAL drivers?  I'm not sure if that'll help at all or not, but that'd be a good place to start. 

[AlphaOne]

Well I tried to play derelict and got the builds off the builds forum and the openall and installed them but the game simply crashes back to the desktop now! And it gives me a weird error about fred2 needing htl or something like that! What is there to do and are there specific builds that the game works fine as well as the campaign...??
If so please pot some links to them because so far I have had 0 succes! Thanx! Also there is a weird error regarding the number of ships which says is only130 and that it will use that figure then the game also crashes to the desktop! And a ship designated a frigate???????

[Nuclear1]

That FRED2 HTL bug should only occur if you attempt to open FRED2_Open without using the -fredhtl tag, AFAIK. It shouldn't have anything to do with FS2_Open crashing.

Could you post the error report? I'm really trying my best to make sense of what I'm reading, but the error report itself would help.

[AlphaOne]

well.. here it goes!

Warning:too many ship classes before'GTFf Saphah'; maximum is 130, so only the first 130 will be used

this is it for now...also how do i copy/paste the blasted thing cause i had to write this one...!

[Nix]

When FSO crashes, the information is automatically copied to the clipboard, so open Notepad and hold down CTRL-V and you will have your output.

[StratComm]

Or just CTRL-V in the quick reply box.  That works too.

as previously (not) mentioned, I'm working on a really nice how-to guide for doing really tight vocal takes for voiceacting.  It won't teach you how to 'act', but will provide some great tips on how to get it done well.  Another 2 weeks or so, based on my work schedule.

That is so sig material.

[Sphynx]

Hey,
Bravo for this project, by the way!

And for those who were fretting about having to work your way all through the campaign again just to get to the more spectacular battles at the end, I'll just remind you of one thing.

-allslev

Cut and paste it as a flag into your launcher. You now have access to all levels.

Enjoy!

That sounds great.  I'll be the first one to tell anyone that I'm no actor, and any tips to improve my technique at it would be very much appreciated.
