Archetype Voice Parts?

Unread post by ChitinBirds »

So, a few days ago I decided to travel around in the space stage and listen to various archetypes' voices. I then thought how useful these voices would be for adventures.

Is it possible to apply the archetype voices to creature parts, like how Dark Injection does it? If so, would it even be observable in adventures?

Yeah! I like this idea.
I would really like to have the Zealot voice on my captain.
Thanks for killing me

The more I think about this idea, the more plausible it seems. Theoretically it would work like how beaks and insectoid mouths change their voices in the Tribal stage or in adventures. The creature voices for these voice parts would be silent while in adventures they would use their respective archetype voice resources (I imagine these parts wouldn't be useful outside of adventures, as all voices are overridden from the Civ stage onward and that there likely aren't enough voice resources to be usable in the Tribal stage). The only hurdle I see is going about creating a new voice type for each voice part.

you could try looking at the VocalSwap mod for Ideas of how to implement this. VocalSwap added little nub parts with all the voices for the creature stage so your creature could sound like you want. It got absorbed into Dark injection but if you want, the conversation for it is here: viewtopic.php?t=2609
I imagine it should be possible to do the same with archtype voices as Camben did with that one (though I have no experience modding voices so I don't know how hard it will be)

I would do this myself if Spore's modding scene was anything like the Sims 3's, since I have more experience with the latter. Maybe when Sporemodder is released it'll make this endeavor easier.
