Title: Get voice files (hate Microsoft Text-to-speech)
Post by: nylock10 on April 05, 2007, 02:42:53 pm
I have Freespace 2 for Windows, and when I open the FS2 Open launcher 5.5a I can only get Microsoft text-to-speech voices. Anyway I can get the original voices from the retail game?

Thanks.

Uh, asumming you have a normal installation, disable the text-to-speak function and everything should work fine.

Inside your launcher,go to speach, untick all the boxs below "Use Simulated Speach in:"

I wish the Launcher would leave it off by default. It's rather jarring and kills the atmosphere for the first time SCP user.

Ehm.... You should get the normal voice files even if you have it activated, the microsoft voice acting only works when there is no voice file present.

@nylock10:

:welcome:

Exits are to your left and right, as well as to your rear.  Unfortunately, the airlocks are rather unreliable, and the teleporter only works inbound. 

In case a fight breaks out, there are flamethrowers under every seat, however, due to budget cuts, they are only filled with water.  You could try some of the projectile weapons in the weapons closet, but most of them are broken and are more effective as bludgeons.  The Plasma Rifles are in their own closet, and only :v:olition , an admin, God, or the hyper-intelligent shade of the color blue can open them.

In case of a water landing, you can and probably will be used as a floatation device.  If you happen to be exploring the ventilation shafts for some reason (most likely because you are looking for a campaign you haven't played yet), and you come across a five-legged creature with multiple glowing red eyes, you've found Carl, our sometime resident Shivan.  Give him your lunch and back away slowly.  If he's not hungry, you might be alright.  If he is hungry, and he's in a good mood, then at least your death will be quick and relatively painless.  The SCP is all that is good.

Karajorma's FreeSpace FAQ and the FSWiki are your friends.  Mention efF esS thr33 at your own peril.  And, however good it might seem, don't listen to takashi*, and don't efff with Goober.


*takashi seems to be an alright guy, just take his advise with a huge serving of sodium chloride.


Use the Turey's Installer link in my siggy.  That will get you fixed up.  (Get the Mac versions of Java & Open AL from their sites. [of course])

I'd bet money that the issue here is that you don't have stu_fs2.vp in your main FS2 folder.

Turey's installer should fix that problem though.
