DTWD Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) Please be aware this post contains 2 mods, they both do the same thing, but one more than the other, read carefully! Designed to be installed with ModMan (a modifications handler, an absolute must for anyone) ModMan can be found over at http://www.Check-Six.fr or by following this link (link correct at time of writing for 7.3) Hello all, These mods are for people who have upgraded to 1.0.2 but liked the fact that the old game spoke in English and made sense to them. A break down of the mods is below: DTWD's Basic 'Make my god-damn game speak English' MOD - American Accents + Russian Accented Betty ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DOWNLOAD via ED The Mod Changes: - All radio communication to English, unless mentioned below as American accented English (none mission specific) - Pilot to Russian accented English (as in pre 1.0.2) - Betty to Russian accented English (as in pre 1.0.2) - All works regardless of coalition/side DETAILS ---------- Changes the localizer config file to be purely English instead of a mish mash of Russian and English. This has the happy outcome of switching all ground/ATC/Tankers etc to being (American) English instead of Russian. It also changes the pilot voice (when using the radio) to be in Russian accented English. The config modification (sadly) doesn't change Betty into English, so this MOD also replaces all* Betty sound files with the Russian accented versions from pre 1.0.2. So Betty now speaks English, but sounds Russian. * Sadly ED seem to have added some extra sound files since the 1.0.2 patch that refer to "board" and then a number. I have no idea what this board is but the new "betty" would tell you a board number before a particular warning. So for instance in pre 1.0.2 you would get "left engine fire" you now get something like "board 50 left engine fire". I felt this slightly redundant as the pre patch betty never had it, and to be honest I don't care (whatever it is) what board has got an issue with my engine fire, my main concern is the fact I am travely at over 200 kmph at 50ft and my left engine is having a self made bbq. Not only that if I left these new sounds in betty would change voice to one that doesn't sound as good as the original, it would break the imersion and it adds nothing to the experience. So I could just remove the numbers and the "board" sound, or instead (to make sure BS still has a file to play) I could have inserted blank sound files, but in the end I decided to use the "warning" word from another file to replace the numbers and "board". I always felt the fire warning should be precided by the warning anyway, so here it is. If your really desperate for the board information it's still in the sub titles. If you just want to back to as close as you can to pre 1.0.2 then you need my other MOD: DTWD's Basic 'Make my god-damn game speak English' MOD - Russian Accents + Betty (just below) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DTWD's Basic 'Make my god-damn game speak English' MOD - Russian Accents + Betty --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DOWNLOAD via ED The Mod Changes: - All radio communication to English, unless mentioned below as American accented English (none mission specific) - Pilot to Russian accented English (as in pre 1.0.2) - Betty to Russian accented English (as in pre 1.0.2) - Ground crew Russian accented English (as in pre 1.0.2) - Tower to Russian accented English (as in pre 1.0.2) - All works regardless of coalition/side DETAILS ---------- Changes the localizer config file to be purely English instead of a mish mash of Russian and English.

The config modification (sadly) doesn't change Betty into English, so this MOD also replaces all* Betty sound files with the Russian accented versions from pre 1.0.2. So Betty now speaks English, but sounds Russian. This version of the MOD also goes one step further and replaces the (American) English ground crew audio files with the Russian accented ground crew from the pre 1.0.2 patch. Not only that but this version of the MOD also replaces all** ATC (American) English audio files with the Russian accented English ones from pre 1.0.2. * Sadly ED seem to have added some extra sound files since the 1.0.2 patch that refer to "board" and then a number. I have no idea what this board is but the new "betty" would tell you a board number before a particular warning.

I always felt the fire warning should be precided by the warning anyway, so here it is. If your really desperate for the board information it's still in the sub titles. **Again sadly ED has added some extra audio files that weren't present in pre 1.0.2, however these appear to be mostly fixed wing related (glide slope etc) and probably won't be spoken by ATC when playing Black Shark. If you just want a Russian accented English speaking Betty but you would rather have the American accented English ground crew and ATC then you need my other MOD: DTWD's Basic 'Make my god-damn game speak English' MOD - American Accents + Russian Accented Betty (The one at the top of the page) Edited July 3, 2010 by DTWD Editing for clarity. 3 Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadroc Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hmm... I can't download the file from ED. Comes up with a blank browser window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTWD Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Yes your right, but judging by the fact they have a combined download of over 100 times I assume it's recently broke. I will inform the mods. Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTWD Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 The mod does a few more things than just overwriting files, but the bulk is just that. I just wanted an undo-able way, so doing it for ModMan seemed like the ideal solution. Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty_M Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I just downloaded this. Thanks. It's good not having to read the subtitles for everything. It's a shame the other pilots in the included campaigns speak Russian. Great stuff though. The world is going mad. Me? I'm doing fine! http://www.twitch.tv/rusty_the_robot https://www.youtube.com/user/RustyRobotGaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTWD Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 The language in the missions is part of the mission and not something you can over-ride. This mod basically takes the game back to v1.01 when Betty and the GC (etc) spoke English. As for the mission speech, I was planning on re-recording all of it into Russian accented English, but it was so time consuming that after the first mission I gave up. I might start again if the requirement was there, but I think most people have moved onto WH. Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_M Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I realised that it was part of the mission itself, and therefore not so simple to just mod. It wasn't intended as a criticism of your work.
