How do you use BAF voices on other addons?

[stegman 3]

Hi all, sorry, im sure this is in the wrong area, but i couldnt find a thread that suited the query.

I have recently downloaded "SJB SAS Addon" (British Spec ops) to plug the hole in the otherwise awesome BAF DLC.

But to my dismay they have US voices.

How do i set the voices to use the BAf ones?

I guess it could be done with the 'description' file, but what are the names of the British voices?

You need to change the actual config for the units to do that, there will be a section called "identityTypes" and you need to change that to the below (or add it if its not there):

identityTypes[] = {"Language_BAF","Head_BAF","BAF_Glasses"};

That was fast (and from a guy who made bloody good British stuff too!).

Do you know if those are the correct 'types' or are they educated guesses?

Those are the ones I used in my BAF config for my units so they should be correct :)

Glad you like my work :)

[EDIT] I suck...:( clearly i have done something wrong. the addon doesnt even show up any more.

Oh its not important. thanks for the help anyway mate.

As you hinted in the 1st post, another way if you are having no luck changing unit configs is to just specify the voices directly in the description.ext:

eg

class Joe

{

name = "Joe Bloggs";

face = "face03_baf";

glasses = "BlueSun";

speaker = "Male02_BAF";

pitch = 1;

};

The voices are Male01_BAF through to Male05_BAF

If you want to use the PMC voices (particularly for Tanny's Scottish accent):

class Tanny

{

name = "Tanny";

face = "face03_baf";

glasses = "BlueSun";

speaker = "Male02_GB_EN_PMC";

pitch = 1;

};

If, heaven forbid, you want to use a passable Aussie accent as done by a pom then Male03_GB_EN_PMC

<stuf I'll try now>

Hang on, are you saying there is an Aussie voice built into Amra2?

Have you just discovered the next DLC maybe...?

***never mind, i just noticed its the dude from PMC***

I'll try out the description meathod now. Im sure Stalker's method works, but im pants and this sort of thing.

[EDIT] oh man!! i cant even get that to work now! It's too late, im off to bed. I'll try again in the morning.

Thanks again for the help lads.

Cracked it!

I had forgotten to put the "class CfgIdentities" bit at the top (n00b, i know) also the pitch of the voice seems to have to be;

pitch = 1.00;

rather than simply;

pitch = 1;

thanks again lads. i guess this thread can be closed. :)

tried using the GB voices as ones the player character uses (edited userconfig). But it didn't work. Anyone know how to get this to work? :cool:

[stegman 3]

I'd like to know this too.

I'm not sure how to do it...maybe you could change the actiual profile file??

i'll give it ago tonight.

[stegman 3]
