thank you @Planewalker, the mod works with the old launcher
Aquilio  [author] 2 Dec, 2024 @ 2:24pm 
@Planewalker Ah, I see now, sorry.

To anyone concerned: the default launcher was updated on November 25th 2024, and now it apparently struggles with any voicepacks made with vanilla tools, including this one.

The reason most voicepack makers use the vanilla tools is for dual compatibility with vanilla and WOTC (this behavior is specific to voicepacks).

You can still use this voicepack with WOTC without any problem, but you need to use Alternative Mod Launcher (AML), or the old version of the default launcher.
Planewalker 2 Dec, 2024 @ 2:01pm 
I'm not using the "new" launcher; AML can be wonky on linux unfortunately.
-my response was to Ice Dragon calling for a WotC version of your mod.

The "Original Launcher", as per the source i posted is what i'm using.
-i made a mistake and called it "old" launcher, instead of "original".

Apologies for any confusion; had no plans of asking for other versions. :D


-and kudos for the mod, it's quite cool. B)

@Planewalker The new, updated launcher might not work with this voicepack in WOTC, but AML certainly does.
I recommend you install AML instead of using the default launcher.
To make it clear: I will not make any different versions of this voicepack just because of the pushed launcher update. I suggest using AML or the "old" launcher instead.

"dryscardy7 is right, the new launcher doesn't allow this mod to be launched with WOTC, it would be nice if someone made a dedicated WOTC version of this mod."

As stated on the webpage regarding the two launchers, the "new" one won't allow any kind of mod that has any kind of incompatibility. -the second or "old" one will; launch that from steam.

Case in point:
The "new" launcher is fairly fast and supports almost nothing.
The "old" launcher can be somewhat slow and supports almost everything, even outdated mods.

Oh, and this is from this mod description above:
* - Works with vanilla and WOTC *

Voice patcher is why the "EW/EU voice pack" also works with LWotC

dryscardy7 is right, the new launcher doesn't allow this mod to be launched with WOTC, it would be nice if someone made a dedicated WOTC version of this mod.

My bad, thanks guys!

@dryscardy7 It's a voicepack. It is WotC compatible.
dryscardy7 26 Nov, 2024 @ 4:23pm 
pls someone make a WOTC compatible one

eyyy just when i start replaying prototype this drops nice
Tyger 19 Mar, 2024 @ 3:55am 
this is absolutely cool, how about a mod with the costumes of the blackwatch?

오 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 이거 괜찮은데
The Seraph of Tomorrow 3 Mar, 2024 @ 7:19pm 
As much as I liked Prototype, I will admit a RPG with turn based tactics set in the world of prototype would be pretty cool. Mods like this feel like a fraction of that.
Lunar Nepneus 1 Mar, 2024 @ 9:29pm 
Such a good idea, thank you for this.
Ayser 1 Mar, 2024 @ 4:00pm 
That's... quite nice to know. Don't have to bloat mod releases with those files now.

One of these days, I'm looking to possibly make a definitive voicepack guide because the older ones by Kregano, E3245, and stupidpupil really aren't cutting it anymore. This is probably the first cooked voicepack mod I've seen that actually removes the script file from the directory.
Aquilio  [author] 1 Mar, 2024 @ 10:56am 
@Ayser

I've uploaded the source file for the voice archetype class.

You need to set up the config and volume multiplier reference (at the beginning of the file) and add "Cue.VolumeMultiplier" just before the "PlaySound" function is applied.

This will work for cooked script packages and existing RJ script archetypes (WOTC and vanilla), as long as nothing else is edited.

In this mod (and in other cooked voicepacks as well) the script is actually transferred to an .upk package (so the "Script" folder with .u files, as well as the XComEngine.ini file can be removed from the mod after it is built).
Bear in mind this applies to COOKED voicepacks only, not the uncooked ones.
Aquilio  [author] 1 Mar, 2024 @ 7:46am 
I'll provide an example later.
Ayser 29 Feb, 2024 @ 6:51pm 
How did you add the ability to change the volume in an .ini? I don't see a script file in the mod directory either. What black magic did you use to make this?

First time hearing this voice, sounds great. The radio voice is music to my ears.
Reminds me of the radio clicks Stormtroopers used to have when they talked.
T'erissk 6 Jan, 2024 @ 5:11pm 
Best voice pack ever, from one of the best modern games ^_^
Excellent work! This is a keeper!
The Fizzizist 6 Jan, 2024 @ 12:45am 
Really good voice mod. Though, one nitpick I do have with the mod is an overwatch line used: "Cease fire! cease fire! Cease fucking fire!". It doesn't quite seem to fit the overwatch action.
The Seraph of Tomorrow 5 Jan, 2024 @ 5:33am 
Thanks for the mod, now to wait until someone can put together a class for the prototype.
horsepowerYT 3 Jan, 2024 @ 12:01pm 
Damn look at those voice lines, infinite possible lines in my eyes.
Henshin Wizard 3 Jan, 2024 @ 10:11am 
All I have to say The first Protoype was awesome. So downloading this, Thanks Aquilio.
Knight143 3 Jan, 2024 @ 1:23am 
Fantastic work! A great voice for our Xcom troopers.

Bastymuss 2 Jan, 2024 @ 7:07pm 
Awesome stuff, loved the Blackwatch.
dmc32 2 Jan, 2024 @ 6:38pm 
Very cool, thanks 4 this.
The Unslain Dragon 2 Jan, 2024 @ 5:55pm 
Awesome. Might release the Blackwatch trooper/officer models now that they have a voicepack to accompany them.
Iridar 2 Jan, 2024 @ 5:50pm 
Nice one. Radio chatter in Prototype was really well made.
