The guy below me is right, renaming the mod folder did it

Oiii this is great but please add Cheryl Voicepack!

Yeah, the Cheryl Voice pack is MIA . There's a Nexus Mods WOTC version available however, but as I use the Alternate Mod Launcher, I had to take the workshop tag number from the "hidden" Cheryl Tunt Workshop voice pack and rename the folder containing the Nexus version to the workshop tag number (691731881). ALM then recognised the mod rather than throwing an error.

@Slackboy101 There's one on Nexus, but yeah that's weird.

What happened too the Cheryl Voicepack!?

Love Archer! I have to 2nd some of the comments about getting Ray and Cyril. Maybe even Barry, Woodhouse, Ron Cadillac, Noah, etc... Just truly immerse in the Archer universe

I freaking love these Archer packs, I know it's been a while but any chance of getting Ray or Cyril? "Suppressing fire" would be gold in this game

Not going to lie, I have played XCOM a stupidly long time. And I can honestly say I've never laughed harder at having Archer as my squad leader. Absolutely brilliant, kudos to you kind sir.

Absolutely hilarious. Great stuff. I got the Lana Kane one too. Making them bondmates hasn't been an opportunity yet, but eventually it will.

Works in wotc. By chance I had a random squad of three archers to start. Made Gatecrasher a hoot

@kajahns: Sorry, there's not enough samples for a Barry pack.

Please make a Barry voicepack for me to use with my SPARK. Thanks

Maybe a typo when programming the mods? I don't know what the problem could be either...

@@wargamesmaster: Sorry bro, that's weird. I don't know what the problem could be.

I tested Cheryl Tunt and Krieger, Krieger doesn't either but Cheryl works fine (I almost forgot how crazy that woman is OO).

@wargamesmaster: Are you having this trouble with any of my other voicepacks?

No faction soldiers, just regular soldiers. I tried creating one and modifying one in-game, nothing worked.

@wargamesmaster: Just to double-check, the voicepack won't work on Faction soldiers, only on ordinary grunts. This was the only way I could have it work on both the base game and WotC, without making two packs. You're not trying to add them to Faction soldiers?

Well that sucks for me, Sterling Archer is one of my favorite character from the cartoon "Archer" (the crazy scientist Krieger is one of them too :))...

@wargamesmaster: Dunno what to say, mate, it works for everybody else.

The mod doesn't even work in the base game...

@[RQ] StuballZ Yes, I activated the mod in the launcher, I started WotC and no Archer voice pack....

Cyril as a character has always rubbed me the wrong way, and I just didn't want to do one for him. Also, everybody wanted the 'covering fire' line included, but in the show he's always shooting when he yells it, which ruins the sample. I've tried going back and adding to these packs and for some reason it never works. Making new packs from scratch don't work for me either. I've just decided to wait til XCOM 3 comes out. By that time the series will be finished and there'll be enough samples for ALL the characters ... except maybe Ray.

Have you considered doing one for Cyril too? He's obviously super whiny for an XCOM op, but not having the whole gang in a squad feels weird, and Cyril definitely has some gold lines that would work well in XCOM. Or perhaps updating everyone with some of the new lines from the new seasons (esp 10)

@wargamesmaster: Did you tick it in the launcher?

Total bs, it doesn't work with WotC. I tried creating my own character and the Archer voicepack wasn't in the list...

F'ing subbed!

Considering an update to these with the latest season? There's gotta be a ton of golden, relevant lines.

Thanks! I've had this for all of my playthroughs.

My in-game Sterling Archer thanks you. Wish I knew how to do this myself. I've got a whole cast of random weirdo celebs and nut-jobs saving the world one glitzy kill at a time. With the suit mod someone else made, Sterling is now complete. Lana might disagree, however.

Thanks a lot ! Amazing job !

@boudioux: It works just fine in WOTC as-is, but only on ordinary soldiers. Ignore the '!' in the launcher and tick it anyway. It just won't work on Faction soldiers.

Hi,
I'm a hudge fan of the show and your work matches perfectly with the game, but the WOTC client says that it is not compatible with the DLC, so would it work or not ? Is it a WOTC version planned if not ? I would love so much to hear Archer's voice on XCOM ! Thanks a lot for your work anyway !

Audio Technica AT9934. It was the most I was prepared to buy for a hobby that might not even be doable. I realise now that I was too close to the mic while recording Spunkles' lines. Confused gain with volume. I've got no analog way to adjust my gain, only amplifying in Audacity once the sample is recorded.

Yeah, that listening to your own voice aversion is hard to get over. It's easier if you're not doing your normal speaking voice.

Hmm, I'm finding with the shouting thing I need to allow myself to mess with the gain more (the correct level for normal talking will obviously clip badly for yelling). I think what I've got so far is OK, but I haven't spent much time listening to the clips because I don't want to listen to my own voice that much. That's why I wanted my friends to do it :p

I think it's Parkinson's disease in which people tremor really badly until they try to do fine work with their fingers and then they are completely fine. Perhaps its the same sort of thing?

May I ask what you are using for a mic?

@nintendoeats: It's hard, lol. You think you've done a good job until you import it into the game, and then you realize, no way, this needs MUCH more energy! Once you drill that into your thick head, you don't have to re-record as much. A chief issue is that I live in a block of units, so I can't do all the yelling and screaming a good VP requires. I improvise a lot.

I did the Spunkles the Squirrel voicepack myself, and it wasn't universally loathed, so I'm now recording cues for a man-out-of-time Conan-the-Barbarian type character, Nonec Mak Morn. I was playing him funny at first, but I've realized it's funnier if you play him straight. So I'm in the middle of that now.

I have the added challenge of a fairly severe speech impediment, but I don't stutter while doing voices, funnily enough. It does make my stutter MUCH worse when I revert back to my normal voice though. It's a freaking minefield lol. I'll get there eventually.

I'm glad that's helpful! My guide was written for vanilla, but there is no reason that it shouldn't work for importing the packages to the WotC tools (it's just a different version number of UDK).

I've actually been dealing with some annoying esses myself, but I didn't make eliminating them a priority. There is a plug-in which claims to do it [wiki.librivox.org], but I haven't used it. I'll poke around with it soon and see what it can do. I've mostly dealt with it so far by slapping a limiter on the offending section. Once you have a radio effect on and music playing that's usually just enough. If you are recording your own clips a pop filter should help tone down obnoxious esses as well.

I've just started doing a "me" voice as well, since none of my friends are keen to be in front of a mic. How is it going for you?

@nintendoeats: Also, you look like the person to ask, does Audacity have a decent de-esser, something to take the hiss out of 's' sounds? I haven't been able to find one. It's making it difficult to do voicepacks with my own voice, which I've started playing with.

@nintendoeats: Thanks for the link! I'd been wondering if there was an easy way to upgrade the packs to make them useable by Factions. I think, since there's a new season of Archer about to start, I'll just wait til that season has finished, and then update the packs with lines from Dreamland and the new season at the same time.

I would like to say that I think this pack is excellent and very well put together. Archer is an excellent fit with the other...quirky...voice packs I have.

If you want to add the dreamland stuff without redoing everything, consider using my guide on building faster voice packs . There are sections at the end about moving old packs to the new system. It takes about an hour to set up the new system and about half that to give tags to the files you have already assigned. Just thought I would present the option.

@Your Comeuppance Has Come : I really wanted to do a Ray Gillette pack, but unfortunately he just didn't have enough lines in the show to work with.

This is Awesome, man. Any plans for a Ray Gillette voice pack?

@ The Master: No need to apologize. I had been listening to, and influenced by, Zero Punctuation just before wriing my reply so I may have come across as snarky myself. I certainly didn't mean it that way. I have two weeks off work coming up and should have time to update the rest of my Archer packs at that time. Cheers.

I actually meant the latter, but I realize that I across as a bit rude. Sorry.

@ The Master: Update how? Update with more stuff, or update for WotC? It already works with WotC, just not with the new factions. I've looked at porting it to WotC so you don't have to put up with that annoying little '!' in the launcher, but it looks like a whole lot of work for very little reward.

As for more stuff, I do have a bunch of new lines pulled from the Dreamland season. I just have to remember how to add them without remaking the whole thing from scratch. Which I refuse to do. So bear with me.

Hey mod author, I don't want to bother you because I'm sure you're busy, but I would love if you updated this when you have time.

Love it. I already had a soldier named Sterling 'Duchess' Archer, and this is just what I needed to make him complete. Also loving the Dr. Krieger VP. Yup yup yup!

@StuballZ your voicepacks (the Archer ones anyway) still work with WOTC, but they're not available on all soldier classes. Even if you just made a little tweak so they could be used with Templars, Skirmishers and Reapers that'd be super cool! :)

No problem! My first Wotc I kinda wanted to do with just randomly generated troops anyway. I'll remake SG1, the Archer team and all my friends later :)

@Sports' Dicking Goods: Hmm. I wasn't planning on buying WotC until it went on sale, and I'm about to move house, so I'm not going to have a lot of spare time until about the end of the month. If I HAVE to update my VPs, I might as well add lines from season 8 at the same time. I was planning on adding to the lesser VPs (Cheryl, Pam, Malory, Krieger) because they could use a little more variety anyway. Hope I can remember how to do it. Gimme a month or two. You might just have to deactivate them until then :( Sorry mate.
