Question Re: Speech

Post by Commander Horton »

Hi All,

First post here - was just wondering if it's possible to have the actual content of Comms Log messages spoken, instead of just the standard "Incoming Message" announcement.

Hi there Commander! :D

Not without major tinkering, I'm afraid... Don't think it's possible to script, so you'd have to re-write parts of the main game code.

Corny has put together an OXP of spoken messages for the crew of your ship. Not exactly what you are looking for but close!

Interesting… console messages are spoken, but comms messages are not. I’ve never really used or worked on speech synthesis, so I hadn’t noticed. I wonder why Aegidian chose to do it that way? Answers on a postcard to…

I think it's because comms messages came after Oolite began to be ported to platforms with no easy speech synthesis - so I simply left it out.

Feel free to add it in.

Thanks for the responses guys. I think it would be a great feature to add as I personally find it very distracting to be told in the middle of a dogfight: "Incoming Message" and then have to find time to stop and read it while at the same time trying to stay alive! :mrgreen:
