Firkraag's Taunts
« on: May 29, 2004, 11:31:28 PM »
I'm not sure about the details on this, or even what discussion prompted it, but this was a PM I received back on the old Studios forum:

Quote
I don't know exactly what Firkrag is supposed to say, nor do I know if there are actually any recordings of his voice(so that you can actually hear it when he taunts you), but I figured that the easiest way to do it would be to have those invisible creatures with no circles(the ones you use for running scripts for items and stuff) set up at key points in his lair. Then once you came into sight, they'd spout their line and destroy themselves.

You've probably already figured out how to implement his voice this way or otherwise, but if this is the best way to implement it(and you haven't already started on it), I'd love to be able to take a shot at doing this part.

Admittedly, I am very new to Weidu, but I do have a basic understanding of its various operations, but I figure that if I did this part, you could concentrate on the more difficult sections(one less thing to deal with, hmm?)

This was instigated by some lines I found in the dialog.tlk. If he wants it, we could let him try...

I don't think he is, but if you still have the lines, go ahead and post them.

I reckon I might be able to do an impersonation of Firkraag's voice, but no promises on it being any good.

With some practice I could probably also have a shot at it.  I can get the voice deep enough (Speak deeply and do a pitch shift of -2 using Soundforge) but I can't get the sound right, yet.  I'll keep trying.

I think I'm fairly near getting the sound right. And hey, I was using pitch shift -2 as well. :)

I extracted one of his soundfiles and brought the pitch back up to see what kinda sound I need pre-deepening and his voice is SO funny...  Try it with the 'For my amusement, for my curiousity...' line.  The end of it is so camp at a normal pitch...
