XCOM 2
Gears of War Voicepack

Should I add more Voicepacks for the mod?
Basically as for now I've planned out 10 voices. That being said I've seen may requests to add more voices into this mod - mainly Sam's voice.

There are several problems with adding even more voices though

Firstly, I didn't make those voices for XCOM:EU/EW for a reason - unfortunately there are not many clips for Gears that appeared after GoW2. Each subsequent game used less and less voiceclips for each soldier (thanks to console limitations). Because of this, any voices of characters that appeared later would be very repetitive.

Secondly, the mod size is going to be huge already - it will most likely get bigger than 500MB once I finish planned voicepacks, who knows how big If I keep on adding more.

To sum up, my question to all interested would be:

Would you want me to later add more voicepacks knowing that they wont be as good as already available ones and will take possibly quite a lot of space on your hard drives?

first off i want to say thank you for making this awesome voice pack. I cant wait for them all to be finished. as for more voices, personally the size does not bother me. Id love to see Hoffman in game. Iv been playing around with the tools to attempt to make COG armor to go with this pack. However sadly im not as skilled as alot of you pro modders out there so I guess ill just have to hope a good modder gets around to making it.

Foxy's suggestion is good, a seperate voicepack would be great if you feel like continuing after you have finished the current list (which is a hell of an impressive task by the way).

Victor Hoffman might be a good idea too.

@Turkeyfoot27

Hoffman's voicepack is being worked on already - he is listed as work-in-progress after all. This thread is about adding even more voices to the mod.

BERNIE MATAKI!!!!!!!!!!! NOW PLS I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER""" <3

Sorry for caps but as someone else said. Jace Stratton, Samantha Byrne and Bernadette Mataki. The rest of the carmines would be nice. I use Carmine as my Sacrificial lamb and would like to have different dying vocals. Thanks.

Also awesome work on this pack. Very nice and clean. Good volume on the voices too.

@I am Samurai
Thanks. I will certainly look into adding more voicepacks in the future, currently though I'm taking a break - I got quite exhausted after releasing 21 voicepacks (including all my mods). There is also still the matter of overhauling Shepard voicepack

One important thing to note is also that Anthony and Benjamin Carmine use exactly the same voicefiles ( and thus share voiceactor).

+1 for Sam Byrne!

Perhaps this may not be entirely relevant to the discussion topic, but would you happen to be able to share your toolset for extracting the Gears of War 3 dialogue files?

Whilst Gears of War 2 has simply been a breeze & I have the PC audio for Gears of War, I am currently hitting a brick wall on my end in which the XMA files simply won't work with towav.exe, and when using with xmash.exe alongside, I am able to get the music files, but no dialogue nor SFX. I am using a Region Free ISO as the source if that bears any relevance.

Any assistance on the matter would be very much appreciated, as I am getting nowhere no matter how high & low I search for relevant information.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure how to help you here. I extracted all the sounds about 2-3 years ago using a guide on Xentax forums. I tried to google for it, but I'm unable to find it... it might have been removed from their site. I used the guide for all games in the series (1-3 and Judgement), so in theory it would work for all the games.
On the other hand I always saved all audio extractors I downloaded, so I have the necessary programs on my PC, I just dont remember what was used for this game exactly (I have 28 folders of audio extractors xd)

EDIT: I thought about it a little and I remember that I actually also was having problems with XMA, I believe there was something mentioned about having to use an extra script to change the files a little somewhere (outside the guide)

EDIT2: I have no idea will it help you, but here is my folder called "XMA" from sound extractors. I believe I used programs that are there for modifyng the xma files before using towav.exe ... I dont remember though what or how exactly, I hope you can figure it out:

If you used something similiar to this maybe look for changes, what extra files are in this folder compared to your version - it might give you a hint about what to do.

A lot of these are familiar as I've been figuring out how to work with similar .exes trying to get into Battlefield: Bad Company's Xbox 360 files (A matter of getting RES files from the FBRB packages, then the XMAs from the RES, it's not straightforward stuff), and I see myself a XMA-related BMS script, an "xma_parse.exe" that I've not been able to locate no matter the regularity of mentioning & a handy lookin' BAT file, so I think at the very least you've definitely got me on the right track.

You have my many thanks!
