Russian radio profiles

Recommended Posts

Are any Russian language radio profiles in the works for OFP? BIS said they were hoping to implement it into OFP during the development but concluded that Russian is too hard to implement due to grammatical reasons or something like that. (That´s the official version, anyway.)

Now, a Russian voice pack would be very nice as a "standard" upgrade. IIRC, Antichrist once said (way back in 2002) that the Retaliation campaign had 6 voices recorded already. Don´t know what happened to that, so are there any mods planning to make a pack like this? RHS, Caucasus Crisis...?

FDF mod already did a Finnish pack with...was it 30 radio profiles for their mod? ( wow_o.gif ) There are a few (very few) grammatical errors due to the difference in English language structure and Finnish, but that´s just if you want to nitpick. A Russian pack would add a huge amount of atmosphere to Russian missions, IMO new character anims and this pack are the most important addons that should be made for OFP.

Tell me what you think. smile_o.gif

Edit: grammar

If I remember correctly, FDFMOD has 14 new voice profiles.

Anyway, a great idea. Creating voice profiles is not that difficult, and I'm sure there are plenty of Russians in the community, someone just has to organize them.

Sounds like a RHS project to me ;)

or mabye even just english with a russian accent for us dumb uneducated lazy americans wink_o.gif You know it'd be kinda like a movie that we would understand but still sound "russian". Oh well just an idea i guess.

*cough Redhammer *cough* And Russian "accented" voices wouldn't do it for me at all. A modification or a duplication (code wise) of the RUSvoice to add real russian voices instead of sad accents.

I also agree with gollum. This is another thing long overdue, that i'd personally love to see. IMHO the animations are even more urgent, but this would be good to get ASAP too. I think that ofp has gathered such a large fan pool with knowledge how to mod the game that i think now we could with proper effort permanently make ofp a better game.

I agree about the anims. You can high poly and high res OFP no problems, but the animations are always going to make OFP look like a turd sad_o.gif (or like the AI is taking one at the least! tounge_o.gif )...

New higher poly character models and animations would make this a 'born again' game! There would be no limits to what it could be made to look like...

I wonder if any could be 'imported' in from another game?, as opposed to making them all from scratch...

On this point...why stop there? How about some British voice profiles? (normal ones, that dont sound like the queen please, or a cockney...goddamn hollywood) or Arabic?

Would that be possible? Setting voices unit by unit? Without "setIdent" scripting that is.

I agree that´s something I always wanted!

Top priority for me is Russian language. Russian units where in the Game ever since!

With all the new addons  more languages would be nice too. There are new quality units from all over the world now. It´s just up to motivated mod-teams from these countrys to make some quality language files. I´m sure FDF-mod team could help out like they did a very good job with the Finnish sounds.

Don't forget the "first" voice add-on to my knowledge that is. The Swedish radio voices by Darkstar wink_o.gif

Arabic?

We (Iraqi Mod: Unforseen Circumstances) are thinking of doing Arabic voice files but first we need the units done. tounge_o.gif

Well actually I tried implementing my own voice into the game but... failed misarebly crazy_o.gif

I am Russian and speak it fluently yet I cant figure out the technical details of how to actually get the voice in the game.

I looked at FDF mod, and just replaced one of their voices with my substitutes but that doesnt work... I guess you need some technical mumbo jumbo to make it sound decent.

By the way, Russian wouldnt be that hard to implement because of grammar.

Hmm this idea spooks around my head since i heard the FDF sounds.

I will contact Desatnik and we see, the technical stuff is no prob.

Would be very cool to have such a Sound replacement

That sounds good...maybe you should try contacting AC, he or someone he knows might have the recorded voices just lying around on their HDs...

Wow, I didn´t know there was such a pack. There must be a few voice sets in there, but they´re all very quiet (you can´t hear them in combat) and they sound REALLY sleeeepy. Not the kind of quality that you´d want, I´d rather stick with the accented ones. smile_o.gif

where do you get accented ones?

Get red hammer expansion pack.

The one with redhammer can go to the ofp folder/users/yourname/

Open the userinfo file with wordpad or something then scroll fully down and search for a entry named speaker

there you can add one of those:

Aleksei

Andrei

Boris

Georgiy

Ivan

Nikolai

Oleg

Ruslan

Sergey

Vadim

Vitaliy

Vladimir

And get some russian accent voice, if you change the pitching of the voice or something you must change the name again in the userinfo file
