I am making a new feature for the Bush Wars mod called DSAI. This is short for Dynamically Speaking AI. DSAI causes AI to speak with regards to their situation. They won't keep repeating the same thing over and over, and what they say depends on their situation. If they are in a safe area, they'll chat casually. If they're in combat, they'll be worried, shouting for help, etc.

I'll handle the technical stuff, what I need from you is your voice talent.
What I need are recordings in:
South African English
Afrikaans
Portuguese
Spanish

And I need them in these categories:
Safe- Just casual talking.
Aware- Something is happening.
Contact- Encounter enemies.
Combat- In combat, shouting for support or ammo or whatever.
Hit- An AI has been hit. Some should be things like "Aggh I'm hit." and some should also have calls for assistance "Medic I'm hit!" etc.

Your recordings should be in .wav format. I'll add posts with specific phrases if people can't think of any good ones.

If you're interested, I'd appreciate you putting a post in reply to this thread. To send me files just send an email with the files included. Best to use a tool like winrar to compress them.

I can be found on MSN as bluedingo@live.com.au
Feel free to IM me. Unless you want to sell me something.

If you're wondering, this is posted here per request of a dev

I came here for that reason, i send a PM to ObmaR just for that.

I'm lazy so i'm putting the same thing that i wrote:

Just that, you have my voice.
The only problem is that my voice is not very "emotive", it doesn't trasmit too much emotion :\

Just need Cuban accents, Benoist. If you read up on the war, you'll see the Cubans were helping the communist government of Angola.

Do you have a messenger like Skype, Yahoo or MSN I can contact you at mate?

This will make helping out and transferring data MUCH easier ;)

English

Safe
"It's too bloody hot."
"Reckon it'll rain soon?"
"My boots are wrecked from the dust."
"Why can't the Cubans just go home? I hear they smoke a lot of their cigars with us scaring them."
"It'd be nice if we didn't have to walk EVERYWHERE!"
"Stinking flies!"
"Make sure you don't get any dust in your rifle."
"Last week we were supposed to get fresh food, but some idiot in HQ got us more ammo instead!"
"Where are the bastards?"
"I'm gatvol of ratpacks. I'm taking some of those Red Cross parcels."
"I feel pretty good about this new rifle."
"Hey, is it teatime?"
"I'm gonna chuck a wobbly if we keep going like this."
"Can you score me a loose?"

Aware
"I think I saw something."
"Did you guys hear something?"
"Ag, I think there's enemies ahead."
"Be careful, bru."
"Keep your eyes open."
"Keep your mouths shut."
"
Enemy ahead."

Contact
"Under fire!"
"Enemy spotted!"
"Get down!"
"Go go go."
"Fire!"

Combat
"Lay it on 'em!"
"Cover me!"
"Suppress them!"
"Don't let up!"
"Keep firing, keep firing!"
"Don't let them get away!"

Hit
"Ahh!" lots of ways to say it
"Medic! Medic!"
"Help I'm hit."
"They shot me!"
"Somebody get a medic!"

I think that "Enemies ahead" should go in "Contact" and not in "aware", but do it as you like.

Following the example (i don't know if it's your job, but well, i do it anyway, je):

Español (Spanish)

Safe
"Este calor es para morirse"
"Me luce que va a llover"
"El polvo esta arruinando mis tacos."
"Por qué no se van estos comemierdas? Solo toman té como yeguas."
"Que moscas jodonas!"
"Tienes candela? Olvide mi encendedor"
"Limpia seguido tu hierro, puede que se atasque."
"Que coño! Nuestro pincho pidio comida y nos dieron munición!"
"Donde estan estos bitogos?"
"Me gusta este tremendo hierro."
"Ven aca, cuantate algo, tienes una fria?"
"Si sigo asi la voy a palmar."

Aware
"Creo que vi algo"
"Silencio!"
"Hey, muchachos, escucharons algo?"
"Me luce que estan cerquita."
"Ten cuidado acere."
"Abran bien los ojos."
"Cierren la boca!"

Contact
"Los veo, los veo!"
"Nos atacan!"
"Enemigo, a la vista!"
"Abajo!"
"Vamos, vamos, vamos!."
"Disparen!"
"A cubrirse!"
"Desde donde disparan?"

Combat
"A fajarlos a mano limpia!"
"Cubreme!"
"Mueran!"
"Maricones!"
"Viste tu como murio?"
"Que más nunca se levanten!"
"Muere maldito facista!"
"Sigan dandole galleta!"
"Que no quede ninguno!"

Hit
"Ahh!" lots of ways to say it (well, the pain is an universal scream)
"Medico! Medico!"
"Ayuda, me dieron."
"Los bastardos me dispararon!"
"Un medico por favor!"
"Coño!"
"Mierda!"
"Ahh! No quiero partir, un medico!"

For now on i just translate what you write, but adding tipical Cuban's words (and i writing how you have to say it).
EDIT: Added a few phrases and if you want i can put the English translation.

One thing, don't think that this phrases are regular spanish, i searched for Cuban words to make it more... well, Cuban, so words like "galleta" which means cookie in "normal" Spanish and Spanish in Cuban means "hit", so "Keep cookeing them!" (actually that sounds pretty stupid in english) means "Keep hitting/figthing them!".

Afrikaans translation: Added some new phrases with their english translations

"Ek is gatvol vir ratpacks. Ek sommer lus en dief een van daai Rooi Kruis pakkies."

Can anyone give me a fast sipnosis about the Afrikaans' history?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrikaner ;)

B)

Je, the old but reliable wikipedia.

Well, to be cak on topic this is something that i send by e-mail to BlueDingo:

2 More questions:
1) Should i began recording and sending the files to you?
2) Are you going to add a "pseudo-dead" state? Like SLX Mod? I would be not only glad, but the hit-screams are going to have much more meaning, hear you mates cursing and screaming. In the normal Vanilla ArmA is very dificult to get hit and just being injured than die, so it would be something unique (at the moment) and very realistic.

Hey all...

Thought I would drop a line to say hi and to say I am a voice actor.

Do most accents that are needed although some are better than others.
I will be putting some wav. files up soon so you can sample what I can do and from there any requests.

Thank you Sirs....

Cause I got nothing better to do at the moment and I am setting up the pc to record...

Let me know what you think...

At the moment I can't do anything in the way of editing (cause: multiple computers simultaneously failed). If you have any contributions please email them to me at bluedingo@live.com.au.
I should be back soon.

Hi there.

BlueDingo, I sent the voices files to your email, more than one week ago.
Can you confirm to me that you have received them?

I Worry for having no news.

:unsure:

@Tiro Loco

El archivo que me mandastes por email .rar tene carpetas .ogg mas las carpetas no contenen ninum sonido. Por favor verifica y manda me un archivo nuevo.

The .rar file you sent me when uncompressed shows .ogg files but they do not contain any sound, please could you check it out and send me a new file.

thanks

Hi ObmaR.

I'm an idiot!

I totally forgot about this, I have almost al the files, I'll just record the last ones and then I'm going to send them.
