Brutal Voices

[little drift]

Been taking a long break from Reforger. Came back and noticed my mod was in active use in some servers so I've cooked a small little update

Just some US Voice replacements for Contact, Moving, Under Fire.

If there's enough demand, or if I feel like it I'll continue to work on the mod.

been using this mod forever, would be cool to hear a few new voices or phrases, my group probably has every voice line memorized by this point

[fast lily]

have you looked at using elevenlabs to make voice lines? they just released v3 which seems to be alot more emotive

[little drift]

Thats what the above clips are

oh wow, i couldnt even tell lmao

[little drift]

Probably planning on replacing a lot of the numbered lines with last names for US side. Like instead of "One, engage that man." It'll be "Johnson shoot that fucker!"

[spice comet]

this is really good, it gives way more immersion for pve, definitely can be improve lot more with more voices etc

[little drift]

Only issue is that Reforger by default only uses 2 voices for NPCs on US side and RU side. So if people want to have more voices, they would have to configure faction identities in their own mods/serverside.

The only workaround on my end would be to throw in random voicelines for every character. But then it would lack consistency

[fast lily]

is that limit hardcoded??

[little drift]

Nope it’s all dependent on if you are running a faction mod

[fast lily]

ahh, so you would have to run a mod changing how even the vanilla factions function?

[little drift]

So for example if I create a Chinese faction mod, I would need custom identities for the characters. This determines their name randomization, head model, and voice

Otherwise I can use the vanilla U.S. identities. But then you’d have Chinese soldiers with white and black American faces and names

[fast lily]

ahh, i see. that would make things a bit weird probably lmao

[little drift]

Yes and it gets complicated because a lot of servers run custom factions. So I could try and override the U.S. and Soviet identities, but it might conflict with certain mods.

I would probably have to make a sub mod for it.

[fast lily]

that makes sense

[spice comet]

when we say voices now lol you mean like voice accent english talking for example or like you can make the AI say whatever you want but only in english accent ? like differente phrases ?

[little drift]

US Side has 2 voice actors. In the sound system this is tied to the identities.

[spice comet]

and with those two voice actors you can make them say anything ? or some basic stuff like "Contact", "take cover" for example

[granite solar]

Think of it as two variants. in the vanilla version both voices say the same things, but they are said by two different people of you know what I mean

[little drift]

Well I can upload whatever sound files I want. But they are triggered by the AI radio protocol system.

"Enemy Soldier... 100 meters... front."

They split up the voice lines to save on file size. (Target) (Distance) (Direction)

Really enjoying this mod, it brings great immersion into my scenario.

Any chance of adding compatibility for the FIA ?

[little drift]

Haven’t touched this mod in a while, but the FIA should speak French.

[strong rapids]

As in are they meant to speak French under this mod or you feel they should speak French under the mod?

Pretty sure ingame their language is Czech (reference to Bohemia studios)

@little drift Hi, I have a question regarding Brutal Voices (I know you said you don’t touch it and were even surprised that it’s stayed popular through the years), but is there a chance you could do a minor tweak to it?

Right now, if you kill a character, they just silently fall down—they don’t use any of the new screams you added in the Moral Brutal Voices mod. Is there a chance you can tune it up?

[reef ore]

for some reason they dont make any sound besides the vanilla
