Import foreign languages as speech packs

[bromide]

It's possible to import different speech paks into UT. It would be sweet if 3.0 had a couple different speech packs that would give a little ethnic flavor to the game. Russian, arab, chinese, etc speech packs could be switched on and surprise your fighting a specific group of people. not just a bunch of bots shouting "die bitch!" or "you suck!"
I don't know what you have planned Neo but I didn't see this in the roadmap. It might be difficult to gather the different languages and such but the result in realism might be worth it. Playing Overlord would be cool if all the bots shouted in German!! Thanks.

Ooh! Ooh! Very cool! I bet there are lots of non-american gameplayers who would LOVE to do this!

hmm a lil bit of both would be nice...
and a lotta games are lacking more... 'colourful' language... like cussing when one get's shot in the foot or something /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

accents or completely different languages?

i was thinking more along the lines of a different language. Many of the programmers and map makers and such for INF are from all across the globe. I think it would be just a matter of getting good recordings of speech from them. Just a couple of lines, each one corresponding to a specific command or acknowledgement. Shouting and exclammations would be superb. The players could then take these speech packs and import them into the game and suddenly they are now in a specific region of the globe. Change the speech pack and woosh! Their on the other side. It would really go a long way to adding depth to this mod (which already rocks I might add!) Thanks!

Please...

Dear Inf-Team...
I you ever do a multinational-speech-pack, please do not do the same as the Hollywood-producers or the authors of Kraut-Bashing-Ego-Shooters who let the Germans say thins like "Sieg Heil", "Mein Fuehrer", "Aaaachtung", "Saaaaani" or "Luftwaffe" all the time.
No kidding, we have a lot more to say, e.g. "Stirb, Schweinebacke", "Dein Arsch gehoert mir", "Friss Blei, Drecksack" oder "Erbarme... die Hesse komme".
Hey, how about that: Let NEO do the voice acting for the Germans...

what about that:
'weisst du wer ich bin? ich bin derjenige der dir gleich in den arsch treten wird!' [taunt] ; 'nimm deinen fetten arsch aus der schussbahn' [friendly fire] ; 'scheisse' [i'm hit] ; 'kopp runter' [friendly fire]... /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Not as long as I am on the team! Even Spec Ops 2 didn't have any real German language.
IF we make a multilingual voice pack, I'll make sure it'll be right.

Hitler looses his suit. 'schaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiis'...and then 'Eva, auf wiedersehen'.
Not as long as I am responsible for the sounds. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
