UPDATE 28/12/2015: Over the last few months I've been burnt out on modding and WoT. Perhaps I'll come back soon, or maybe I'll post up the source files to let anyone who wants to use them do so. Either way I'll take a look at what WG are doing with the sound engine and then I'll make my decision. Thanks

Spoiler Roadblocks: -34/35 language limit = 34 voices limit. How to get around: Installer? New Sound Engine? -New Sound Engine. What will happen? -Fatigue. Easier way of curating samples and preparing them? Maybe some collaboration?

Hello everyone,

This is my mod, which greatly improves the vanilla crew voices in WoT. Now you can automatically or manually select new, enthusiastic, and hilarious crew voices for your tanks, all from within the WoT UI.

Description: This is a small pack of my favourite voices for each nation (Works with the "New National" Voice Setting). These voices are a much more energetic alternative to WoT's default crew. They are full of enthusiasm and humour, while still retaining most of the same clarity of information as the original WoT voices. CoH American: Voices from the American units in CoH, with some of the original WOT voices left in to provide high clarity. Multiple units’ voices are used to simulate multiple crew members speaking. (EN1.fsb) CoH UK: Voices from the British/Commonwealth units in CoH, with some of the original WOT UK voices left in to provide high clarity. Multiple units' voices are used to simulate multiple crew members speaking. (UK1.fsb) CoH German: English Voices with a German accent from the German/ElitePanzer/Wehrmacht/Tiger 205 units in CoH. Multiple units’ voices are used to simulate multiple crew members speaking. (DE1.fsb) RA3 Japanese: Voices from the Empire of the Rising Sun units in RA3.

These crew voices have a very similar feel to the vanilla WoT ones, but freshen the game up with new dialogue. (WT.fsb) Download: N/A -Team Fortress 2: Description: These voices have a number of great lines pretty much all of them are either awesome or hilarious, Valve did a great job. Some of the events don't have exact matches to the original WoT voices, but there are a surprising number of parallels between it and TF2.

I mainly did these since they were really easy to convert. Also I enjoyed the anime WARNING! Most of these voices are in the Japanese Language, NOT English!

Either way, they are all a good way to make WoT a more fun The Mighty Jingles: This is based off some of the Unofficial Jingles Voice mods. The Mighty Jingles is a popular World of Tanks player and YouTuber, and has some of the most hilarious WoT videos out there. Fans of him can now have him commentate on their own battles, with his signature British humour. (TMJ.fsb) MLG: Something,Something, Mountain dew.

FEATURES:

-24 Custom Voice Mods to choose from, plus the 7 original WoT voices

-That comes to a total of 6994 new lines! (Phew, that was a lot of work)

-All files have been equalized, so they are roughly the same volume, no more too soft or too loud voice mods

-Voice packs from several different games and shows including CoH, TF2, RA3, War Thunder and GuP. More to come soon!

-Voice mod can be switched in game at any time from the sounds menu.

-All the original WoT voices are preserved, so you can switch back to vanilla, while in-game through the menu, at any time! (but why would you?)

-National Presets can be selected so that the voice mod changes depending on the nationality of the tank!

-National Presets can be created and changed in IGL's main_sound_modes.xml, THANKS IGL

-All sound banks are not require for the mod to work, only the ones you want to download and install will be visible, no clutter!.

-More voices to come!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INSTALLATION:

1. Copy the folder World_of_Tanks\res\audio to the position World_of_Tanks\res_mods\0.9.X\audio. (0.9.X is the current version of WoT) MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS STEP! 2. Copy all files inside 0.9.X (ie. 0.9.8) to World_of_Tanks\res_mods\0.9.X 3. You can backup your original files instead of overwriting if you want, but the originals should still be safe in World_of_Tanks\res\audio 4. Open up the game, open the main menu, click Settings, then under the sound tab you can select the crew voice to use (New National is recommended). -Note: National voice presets can be edited to your preference in World_of_Tanks\res_mods\0.9.X\gui\soundModes\main_sound_modes.xml, Thanks to IGL! 5. Enjoy!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overview:

-Originally this Mod was meant to change the in-game crew voices for each nation while using the national voice setting. -National voices can be changed to English so that you can understand them, with accents to represent the nation of the tank you are driving! -Now with IGL's great "Easy Crew Voice Selector" it has also become much more! You can now select any of the crew voice mods that I have converted to work in the same way as WoT's original voice files. -Now instead of overwriting the original files to install a new voice mod, you can just copy the sound bank(.fsb file) into the audio folder and you will be able to select it in the in-game sound menu! -This also allows the voice mods to be used in the national mode, so you can get your Brits to use one sound mod, and your Germans to use another. -The main_sound_modes.xml included is a modified version of the one from IGL's great "Easy Crew Voice Selector" mod, and is set up to work with the sound banks included in this mod. It also has a number of national voice presets. -All the original WoT languages(CN,DE,EN,ect) are unchanged, but still included just in case. This is NOT a replacer! It works fine with the original voices, it simply adds more to choose from. You could install this and play without even knowing it was installed if you never changed it from "default" -This mod does include varying levels of profanity, including the F-word. This depends on which voice you are using however.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Voices This Update:

- Red Alert 3 Soviets

- Despicable Me Minions

- C&C Generals Chinese - I have more voices ready, but WoT won't let me add anymore for now

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Upcoming Next Update:

Spoiler - Find out a way around the 34 soundbank limit...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DEMO:

-I'm currently looking for someone to provide a demo video for this mod, since I have no recording equipment. If you are interested Please let me know, Thank you!

-As I said above I don't currently have a preview to show here. If you wan to check it out, you should download and try it yourself

It's not a replacer, so you can switch back to the default voice at any time, in game! What have you got to lose?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Few Notes about the Sounds:

-If you set the crew voices back to default this mod still includes the original WOT all English for all tank's crew voices so it is easy to turn it off and on while still in game! -Although the individual voice mod selections will not appear without the appropriate voice banks, the national presets are always shown, so I wouldn't choose a preset that uses the voice banks that aren't installed. Who knows what would happen... -Also another small note is that since these games don't have the exact same concepts of WOT, some lines are not foolproof in their explanation of events. The CoH voices are close to the WoT originals, and others are usually similar.

Even all the lines should be able to be deciphered with a bit of logic I will try to provide a general guide here, just in case:

CoH: AmmoRack Dmg Lines should have the word ammo in them, and have a negative or tone to them Critical Hit Extended Phrase, Joke, or extra compliment Crew wounded Anything from simple "Man down!" to "The Loader's Hit!" Minor Module Dmg "Taking Fire", "Oil Leak!", ect. Engine Fixed Urgent Move Command ie. "GO!GO!GO!" Tracks Fixed Relaxed Move Command ie. "Move out" Gun Fixed "Fire the Gun!" ect. TF2: (Player's tank is referred to as a cart, due to the TF2 characters’ poor simple minds) AmmoRack Dmg Damaged ammo rack is referred to as a Bomb. Critical Hit Extended Phrase, Joke, or extra compliment Commander killed Death Sounds (Character is the Commander) Crew wounded "Medic!" ect. Enemy Tanks Burns "Burn in hell" ect. or evil laughing Minor Module Dmg "Help!", "OW!", ect. Engine Damaged "Keep pushing the cart!" ect. Engine Broken "The cart stopped!" ect. Engine Fixed Urgent Move Command ie. "GO!GO!GO!" Tracks Broken "The cart stopped!" ect. or "AW BUGGER!" ect. Tracks Fixed Relaxed Move Command ie. . "Let's go" Gun Dmg/Broken "OH NO!" with very extreme/long bad reaction. Gun Fixed "Look at my new gun!", "Fire the Gun!", Thanks Engineer! ect. Turret Dmg/Broken "OH NO!" with very extreme/long bad reaction. Turret Fixed Thanks Engineer! ect. RA3: AmmoRack Dmg "OH NO!" with very extreme/long bad reaction. Critical Hit Extended Phrase, Joke, or extra compliment Crew wounded Death Sounds Enemy Tanks Burns "Melt them down!" ect. or evil laughing Minor Module Dmg "They're shooting back!", ect. Player on Fire Crew burning sounds Engine Damaged "Keep moving!", "Main engines!", ect. Engine Broken "Our Engine!" ect. Engine Fixed Urgent Move Command ie. "GO!GO!GO!" Tracks Fixed Relaxed Move Command ie. . "Let's go" Gun Dmg/Broken "OH NO!" with very extreme/long bad reaction, or "MAIN GUN!" Gun Fixed "Fire the Gun!" ect. Turret Dmg/Broken "OH NO!" with very extreme/long bad reaction. Turret Fixed "All systems good" ect. Anyway, most of that you should understand what’s going on. Just thought I'd make sure I write it out for anyone who got confused.

- I'd also like to thank IGL for his "easy crew voice selector", which improved the functionality of this mod by a huge amount! His original mod can be found here on the EU forums! Thanks again IGL!
