Warcraft 3 unit response sounds mod

[Meridian]

As an example of how can it be done in 40k.

First, there is a global switch:

Code: [Select]

enableUnitResponseSounds: true     # set back to false once you get tired of the sounds :)

Then there are 8 attributes on soldier types (4 actions x 2 genders):

Code: [Select]

soldiers:
  - type: STR_SOLDIER
    femaleFrequency: 50
    selectUnitMale:     [200, 201, 202, 203, 204]
    selectUnitFemale:   [300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305]
    startMovingMale:    [210, 211, 212, 213]
    startMovingFemale:  [310, 311, 312, 313]
    selectWeaponMale:   [220, 221, 222, 223]
    selectWeaponFemale: [320, 321, 322, 323]
    annoyedMale:        [230, 231, 232, 233]
    annoyedFemale:      [330, 331, 332, 333, 334, 335]

Lastly, extraSounds are needed, but that's not new:

Code: [Select]

extraSounds:
  - type: BATTLE.CAT

Youtube video as preview:

Needs OXCE 5.6.3 (to be released later), for testing you can use this build: https://lxnt.wtf/oxem/builds//Extended/Extended-5.6.2-0e9152b0a-2019-09-04-win64.7z

PS: the players can mute/unmute the sounds using the ctrl+X hotkey (or by editing options.cfg, entry "oxceEnableUnitResponseSounds")

nice nice nice 

[doctor medic]

well shit that is really impressive,no idea it was even possible

[Meridian]

By popular demand, the sounds can now be defined also on units (e.g. HWPs or mind-controlled aliens):

Code: [Select]

units:
  - type: STR_FLOATER_SOLDIER
    selectUnitSound:   [200, 201, 202, 203, 204]
    startMovingSound:  [210, 211, 212, 213]
    selectWeaponSound: [220, 221, 222, 223]
    annoyedSound:      [230, 231, 232, 233]
  - type: STR_FLOATER_NAVIGATOR
    selectUnitSound:   [300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305]
    startMovingSound:  [310, 311, 312, 313]
    selectWeaponSound: [320, 321, 322, 323]
    annoyedSound:      [330, 331, 332, 333, 334, 335]

Also, on armors (if your unit types depend on armor, like for example in 40k):

Code: [Select]

armors:
  - type: STR_PERSONAL_ARMOR_UC
    selectUnitMale:     [200, 201, 202, 203, 204]
    selectUnitFemale:   [300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305]
    startMovingMale:    [210, 211, 212, 213]
    startMovingFemale:  [310, 311, 312, 313]
    selectWeaponMale:   [220, 221, 222, 223]
    selectWeaponFemale: [320, 321, 322, 323]
    annoyedMale:        [230, 231, 232, 233]
    annoyedFemale:      [330, 331, 332, 333, 334, 335]

Or even by soldier name, if you want to RPG it ad absurdum

Code: [Select]

unitResponseSounds:
  - name: Starving Poet
    selectUnitSound:   [200, 201, 202, 203, 204]
    startMovingSound:  [210, 211, 212, 213]
    selectWeaponSound: [220, 221, 222, 223]
    annoyedSound:      [230, 231, 232, 233]
  - name: Ivan Dogovich
    selectUnitSound:   [300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305]
    startMovingSound:  [310, 311, 312, 313]
    selectWeaponSound: [320, 321, 322, 323]
    annoyedSound:      [330, 331, 332, 333, 334, 335]


The sounds by soldier name have highest priority and if there are any sounds by name, the rest is ignored.

The sounds by armor/soldier/unit type are used next.
If there is any conflict, armor sounds win.

I have a request: can we have a % chance to play these sounds? Hearing them sometimes (say, 1 in 10 times) would be fun, hearing them every time would make me unable to play.

don´t need to worry about that, i´m testing and they don´t overlap even if you spam, works fluid even sometimes you hear nothing

[Solarius Scorch]

I was not talking about overlapping. I am talking about not hearing a voice with every damn click. I would rather hear it at random.

[bulletdesigner]

hey Meridian by this point i got to ask for the split on deathSound: [331, 332] for male and female , since when they die the voice match the their death

Also Solarius Scorch they don´t answer on every click

what do you mean?
soldiers already have death sounds by gender (since 1994); and AI units don't have genders at all (they are all males internally)

[bulletdesigner]

on armor? if so nice, problem solved! i admit haven´t tested

[Meridian]

on armor? if so nice, problem solved! i admit haven´t tested

There is no death sound on armor. Is it needed?

[bulletdesigner]

it´s needed and also divided by sex, meaning my scout´s F or M need different death sound´s, also different when using armor 

[Meridian]

Global variables to change the unit response frequency:
1. select unit, default 100%
2. start moving, default 100%
3. select firearm, default 100%
4. annoyed, default 20%

Code: [Select]

unitResponseSoundsFrequency: [100, 100, 100, 20]

Death sounds by armor and gender:

Code: [Select]

armors:
  - type: STR_PERSONAL_ARMOR_UC
    deathMale:     [200, 201, 202, 203, 204]
    deathFemale:   [300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305]


Also Solarius Scorch they don´t answer on every click

They would answer on every click... unless someone else is talking or they haven't finished their own previous response yet.
(technically, all these unit responses are hardcoded to use only one mixing channel and they check whether the channel is already used or not too)

Very nice, i always wanted this option, good job. At some point i will add this to my mod.

[bulletdesigner]

Yes, you're right they answer every click, was some bad numbers on my part, but again you can simulet my error and leave some sounds empty

Also thks for the both sex part
