 Alexander's taunts mod, on the Ocean. SFC MP3 style, on the ocean.
Alexander's Taunts mod and SFC MP3 style at SFCVoices.

Shakah, when the walls fell. SFC MP3 style, on the ocean.

Temba, his arms wide!

For those of you NOT complete trek nerds:

I've been trying to run a taunts mod. I've managed to make it work with wavs, but was hoping to condense it to mp3. I took a good look at the SFC voices filetypes, screamed, cried to Pelican, cried to KoraH, and then finally figured out how to duplicate the Layer 3 44100Hz mono at 128kbps filetype. The problem, it still doesn't work!

This taunts mod btw is not meant to imply that Taldren didn't make great taunts, this one encompasses mostly in jokes for the TNZ, an example of which would be 'We are the Borg. Pull our finger', because that is a taunt typed out by players during that period between fatal damage and ship explosion.

I could really use your help here Dave. What am I doing wrong?

Alexander's taunts mod, on the Ocean, with a hole in the bottom of the boat.


I have a nasty feeling that SFC3 is wavs and wavs only....but never having seriously played with the sound system, I'm not sure.

  Actually, all of taldrens files are the filetype described above. A lot of players are willing to download it, but at 30 megs, no one wants to host it =(

Besides the info you can gather from looking at one of our
.mp3 files, I don't know what else to tell you.

MPEG 1.0 layer 3
128kbit
44100Hz Mono

OK there is the one important thing, do not compress the .zip file
otherwise they will not play.

We at SFU are more than willing to host the thing. Even if it's 30MB. if you ever figure it out how to work it, feel free to upload there.

  If I ever run a sequel, I'll include it.

It works, I just want it to have a reasonable download rate so as KoraH will include it in the TNZ. I appreciate your willingness to host. I'll keep trying on the filetypes, but if that fails, it'll be nice to have somewhere to put the thing.

This sounds really cool.  Can't wait to try it out.

I can also provide hosting for the file should you need a mirror.

  Cool! Thanks guys, you too Dave. Sorry, I still can;t get it to work. I have NO idea why not, but I'm out of ideas.

No, I don;t have a sound room. The taunt's don't have the sound quality that Taldren's do, but they have the wonderful fun of being written by players. I do appreciate my voice actors, and depending on how well this one does, I may one day work up the courage to call upon them to do a sequel. If I do, and they do, I'll reopen the suggestions thread.

Here is a thought.

Have you tried to edit an existing file?

Open the existing (i.e. working) mp3 with a waveform editor, and edit/cut/paste the "new" taunt in. and save, which should pre-serve the file format.

  I'll give it a shot, but it'll mean a drastic reduction in quality.
