[MOD]Better Spoken Text (compatible with other mods)

Post by AalaarDB » Sat, 24. Dec 05, 03:56

Better Spoken Text
Better Spoken Text Mirror

This is a mod that shortens the pauses between words that the ship computer speaks. It sounds much better, but there are pauses that I was unable to remove (example, trans...porter). I have also shortened the phrase 'super freighter' to just 'soup' - so it's funny when she says 'Split P Soup'... ok JK I didn't do that.

Please don't be turned off by the fact that it is a mod and won't be compatible with your preferential mod... This will be compatible; it functions as a false patch. Extract the 2 files to your main X3 directory. If you are prompted to overwrite the current files, select no. Instead, extract them to a temp foolder, and rename them to xx.dat and xx.cat, where xx is 01 number above the highest number existing in the main X3 directory. Then copy the renamed files over. Doing this will make this mod work as a false patch so that you can use your regular mod in the regular way. Whenever Egosoft releases a patch, rename it to something temporary prior to patching, and rename it to the number after.

You are supposed to rename it if the number already exists, I guess you did not read all of his post then did ya. ;)

If someone does not use the salvage mod in the 06 form, then having this as an 07 will not work. Also, the salvage mod was changed to go in the regular mod folder by default.

Where did poor Betty go?

Post by cragganmore » Tue, 7. Mar 06, 01:18

AalaarDB,

I installed this mod today, but I'm having a bit of a problem. Instead of a more jabbery Betty, I'm hearing no voice at all. When I quit, removed the .dat and .cat files, and reloaded, I've still got no voice.

In case it matters, I'm also running EMP 1.3.01 (which is using the 06 slot, I believe) and running this mod in the 07 slot.

Is this something you've come across before? Hopefully it's just me being ignorant and there's a simple fix.

Thanks! (Oh, and I love your mods.)

Correction: EMP 1.3.01 is using "false patch" slot 07, and I put this mod in slot 08.

Just a tad too much clipping going on. She keeps cutting off previous words, making things sound strange. :D

Alaardb, the first mirror gives a now corrut file (will not extract) and your mirror host has had it's domain expire.

Is there another way I can get this file? do you still have it locally?
