Hello folk,

Last two day, I was working on tool which will help you with voice acting for Arcanum, and I think that its ready for first release, its written in Delphi 2009 and source codes are released as well, so if you do some fancy modification, please upload sources as well

What it does?

Simply, It loads Arcanum dialog file (*.dlg), create easy accessible table from that, and allow you to record and assign audio file for every line, which will be saved in voice bank, which is folder where all sounds will be placed.

Feature list:
-Loading Arcanum dialog files, need only once, when creating new voice bank.
-Recoding audio from microphone and assigning it to line by one click.
-High quality recoding into wave format, 44100kHz, 16 bit, mono for space saving.
-Buildin audio player, browser, plus its possible to assign external audio file to line, which will be copied into bank and renamed after you click on assign button.
-Filtering lines by voice actor gender.
-Highlighting lines by their state, if they are without any voice, they are purple, if they have voice only for one gender, it will be blue, and finally if line has voice for both gender, it will be green
This feature also prevents duplication, if you assign voice to one line, and another line with same text are found, it will be automatically highlighted.
-Playing and recording selected line via Microsoft Speech, it will list all voices you have installed in you computer, at least one voice is available at every computer, and its Microsoft Sam. Plus its highlighting words as its speaking...
-Big display screen for comfortable reading

I shall take controll on this section.
Don't worry!
Being working my ass of with a lot of other things the past several days, reason why I haven't done/said something.

But the voice thing, I will try and make something useful with it!

Hi! Thank you for your affirmation but I'm sure that We will need more than one voice actor, because there is so many dialogs with different NPC, and it will be impossible to handle them all alone, plus it will be great if there will be more new voices, hearing one voice in all dialogs might sounds weird, unless you know how change some of your voice characteristics, like accent

See ya

Looks good!

Although I'm currently not in a position to be of any help with voice acting, I'm going to have to check this out.

People here work on voice acting: http://forums.arcanumclub.ru/index.php?showtopic=1982
Announced there.

Thank you maybe somebody will be interested, and I hope that somebody start with voice acting soon, because if somebody does not start soon, nobody will be interested to join at all

Radzh, I hope they speak english
No way in hell that the new Arcanum is going Russian xD ha ha...

I think that it will be great to have some Russian voice actors with Russian accent that speaks English

Zeratchi, boldly said

I'll try some voice acting too I think that anybody can do that, its question of practice and understanding of character personality Nothing more... we'll see
