I gather that I need to record my own voice responses since the download would have been too big for the patch.

But I am confused as to what to name the wav files and where to put them.

There seems to be some instruction in these following lines, but I don't quite understand them.

// Format

// [Voice response tag] [Path to .WAV file -- relative to install root]

// [Text response tag] [Custom text message]

//

// e.g. -- override starboard rudder voice/text responses...

//

// NAV_VR_SET_RUDDER_STARBOARD my_voicepack/rudder_stbd.wav

// NAV_TR_SET_RUDDER_STARBOARD Yeah...rudder set to %i degrees starboard...whatever

Put the wavs in a directory called

C:\Program Files\...\Enigma\my_voicepack

Don't call it "voice" as I did - that clashes with an internal name!

I forget the exact specification for the type of wav, not all formats will work. You can create them with the standard Windows Sound Recorder application though.

You need to omit the // and give a faction prefix, e.g.

IGN_NAV_VR_SET_RUDDER_STARBOARD my_voicepack/rudder_stbd.wav

Hope that helps,

Im still confused about the "%i" part.
That's in the text response. The game inserts the actual course in degrees where the "%i" is (%i signifies an integer).

Ok I recorded a wav file in 8 bit mono and named it "rudder_stbd.wav" and placed it in a new folder I made in the Enigma directory called "my_voicepack"

Then i added the line "IGN_NAV_VR_SET_RUDDER_STARBOARD my_voicepack/rudder_stbd.wav" above the TR line so in other words it looks like this.

"IGN_NAV_VR_SET_RUDDER_STARBOARD my_voicepack/rudder_stbd.wav

IGN_NAV_TR_SET_RUDDER_STARBOARD Aye sir, rudder set to %i degrees starboard."

Made sure the green box was checked in the game and the volume is all the way up.

I should be hearing my custom response when I give the order "rudder to starboard 010" when Im sailing a IGN ship right?

What did I do wrong cause I'm not hearing anything.

I don't know how to get to the beta forums mentioned to look for help there. Can someone supply a link?

----edit

ok nevermind, it's working but it was just too quiet to hear. I'll have to make a louder recording.

Im still confused about the "%i" part.
The %i is a variable the game uses to fecth the distance/depth etc etc

you see it like this in the game:

DD85 sinks U65 at 4100 meters with a depth charge

The game find the range(4100m) with %i

so if you dont use the %(N) variable in your TR(text response) then you wont see at what distance from you the event occured.

note that %(N) can be anything, depending on the range, so dont use ####M instead of %i,s or whatever the variable is.

Also note that TR and VR isnt the same

T = Text

V = Voice

and you need to add a VR line below the TR in the text file.

an example:

NAV_TR_SET_RUDDER_STARBOARD Yeah...rudder set to %i degrees starboard

NAV_VR_SET_RUDDER_STARBOARD wavefiles/rudder.wav

(assuming you have made a dir in your ERT folder names (wavefiles)

else you can use the full path like:

NAV_VR_SET_RUDDER_STARBOARD x:\my_sounds\wavefiles\rudder.wav

Note that in VR you cant use %(N) variables as that isnt built in the game (i think, East confirm).

Note if you use a path with spaces outside your ERT dir, you must enclose the path with "" (i think, East confirm).

like this:

NAV_VR_SET_RUDDER_STARBOARD "x:\my sounds\wave files\rudder.wav"

Did I leave anything out?
