On the other hand the installer could easily be bundled with all the necessary tools and just call them properly. I sent Espiox a rough script as a starting point for just that about a week ago. Wow, has it been that long? Sorry for my absence this...  [Read More]

So is the stump joke wanted in? Honestly, I'm not that bothered about putting that joke in (nor, really, "fixing" any other part of the CD version). I'm all for it if it's optional though....  [Read More]

I'm aiming to get a working version of my installer up tonight to make it easier for people to join in and test the speech. EDIT: I'm having a bit of trouble getting it to the run the encoder. I'll get this up ASAP, but it won't be tonight....  [Read More]

that would be great if you could do that. It would help people (Especialy Me) to not have to buy a new one. Yes, we're going to offer this as a patch... but what do you mean "not have to buy a new one"?...  [Read More]

Well. There is the speech project talkie patch. I guess, you can use that, if you remove all speech references from it before using the tools here. That's exactly what cocomonk22 sent me; a hack-only version of the MISP patcher....  [Read More]

I need to fix a couple of small problems, but I think I've got a good batch file. It automates everything we've done so far (dumps the wav files, encodes to mp3 or ogg, creates mi1.txt, runs mkspeech and puts the mi1new.txt back into the game). It ch...  [Read More]

This actually should not be a problem. The file is just referred but missing and hence ignored. You should have a monster.so3 and mi1new.txt nevertheless. Ah, yes. I am an idiot. Wow, the resulting file makes the opening chat with the lookout very...  [Read More]

Awesome! I'm trying it out now. By the way, I sent you a PM jott. Just a small question to help me with my batch file. EDIT: I tried the new mkspeech tool (after doing a fresh dump/conversion of all the voices and a new mi1.txt) and it gives me the...  [Read More]

If somebody is able to create a GUI tool that would be fantastic. It's way outside my abilities though (I'm stumbling through making this batch file, to be honest). I'm all for Spiffy being an optional addition, if people want that in there....  [Read More]

Reading your opening post, one might get the impression, that you actually need both, the SE and the DOS CD, which surely is not the case. Thus, you might add this to the FAQ: Q: Will this work for people who don't have the DOS CD version? A: Yes. Th...  [Read More]

Here is a little tool that looks up strings from the speech.info and a mi1.txt (scummtr.exe -w -g monkeycdalt -of mi1.txt -H) in the same dir and outputs a "match.bat" with "ren sample.mp3 linennumber_sample.mp3". It splits up mul...  [Read More]

Right, I've gotten a combined audio file into the game (I combined the wavs and then converted to mp3, rather than trying to combine the mp3 files). And it seems to work! Not perfectly timed to the subtitles though. EDIT: LogicDeLuxe: Whoops, I di...  [Read More]
