[idea]08/09 Rookies Voice Patch

08/09 Rookies Voice Patch

First , Its not a patch release topic .
I want to suggest a concept , which i have been thinking so long.
It's about making a 08/09 Rookies Voice patch,which let the announcers in the game,MARV ALBERT & Steve Kerr,two guys's voice pronounce these 08/09 rookies' completed Name.
Well, some guy might know that when we play the NBALive08,and use the roster which have included 08/09 rookies,and it seems ok to hear MARV ALBERT pronouces the last name of the rookies.
But when it comes to be the timing when announcers have to pronounce the whole name,here comes the trouble!!
Announcers(MARV ALBERT) will pronounce only the number of players.
Because the rookie has the last name which NBALive08 has included originally.
For example, Derrick Rose , this player is available to let MARV ALBERT pronounce his last name due to the roster which before 08/09 draft has haven the players named 'XXX ROSE',like Quinton Rose & Malik Rose.
But for the rookies is not in the above condition,like Kevin Love or OJ Mayo,their name will be just pronounced as their number,even none of last name.
So I want to give a suggestion to the patchers who interest in this project.
Maybe we can record the sound of the 08/09 NBA games which TNT broadcast to gain the pronunciation of the 08/09 Rookies' names and convert it into the game's file to let us hear MARV ALBERT correctly pronounces in the game instead of numbers.
And the reason that i cant work on this project on my own is that i live in
Taiwan instead of USA , so I cant watch the TNT broadcast.
Maybe sometimes I can download the NBA games from the internet to record the sound to do it , but its too hard for me to work on it, i just want to give this good idea to be one part of NBA Live 09 project , becus i think its one of the most important part of NBA Live game .
Isn't it so weird that you just hear 'NUMBER 32' instead of 'OJ MAYO' when you use him to do a poster dunk???? haha
PS: my English is so so .........forgive me if you native English guys hard to know what i write about.

Your project concept is good but the only problem is we dont have the tool or program to make the recorded files into ea's speech files .. There was once a tool for that but it was mainly made for nbalive 2006.

[Modifly]

Nice concept but as Kris said, there is no tools for recording the speech files at the moment.


Kris, 3 posts away bro, just 3..

[DickyJordan]

The Chinese forum have got the way to open the speech files,but they
haven't annouced yet!

[Angelo]

can you give me the link?

[ibelieve]

i think the speech id is already made

[Angelo]

YEah the speech id is made but the speechfiles for them is still not made..

[Patr1ck]

I thought we were going to wait for 09 on the PS2 and snatch the rookie speech files from it and convert them over to PC. Much less work needed.

[[Double LC]]

YEAH..SNATCH THE SPEECH FILE FROM PS2 VERSION OF NBA LIVE 09......i HOPE IS COMPATIBLE ON 08 IN PC...

[DickyJordan]

hei`Kris ,the link http://bbs.nbalivecn.cn/thread-5479-1-1.html
tihs's Chinese NBAlive Froum,they're working on NBAliveX.
But it's Chinese,look,wofeil1084 said 'We've got the method to open the
speech files'.

[DickyJordan]

I think Pdub's suggestion is good.

[wiserkuo]

Well~~ I come from Taiwan , so I also know whats the topic which DickyJordan
gave were talking about,
"这个 添加录音的方法 我们已经掌握 只是 找不到合适的人去录 这个声音"
"We've got the method to open the speech files"
maybe DickyJordan or I can contact the guy to know whats he did really mean.
If he really know how to add the additional speech file into the game ,
maybe we can cooperate the patchers of NLSC and the chinese fourm,
becuz whats he meant is they don't know where to record the speech sound,
but i think US guys have more resources to get the sound( broadcast....
original english channels.... ).

[diddy]

it's great idea, cuz i hate that all players in the game are silent! it's crap! all the players in live 04 were talking and it was really great!

[Angelo]

Ill try to communicate with the author of that thread that dickyjordan posted btw thanks for providing me the link

[DickyJordan]

If you have any problem in Chinese ,just call me.

[ibelieve]

we need help with kenkaian i really wanna know how the program works

[Angelo]

Why pete is this topic has something to do with kenkians body paint?

@DickyJordan

Ive read the thread from the chinese site but no one seems to know how to open those files..

[DickyJordan]

Have you seen wofeil1084 said '这个 添加录音的方法 我们已经掌握 只是 找不到合适的人去录 这个声音'?It means that we've got the way to add voice to the
speech files,but we have not find some good record to use!"

[SAMutei]

thats a great idea. i mad spech files some years ago. would be cool if we can get it to work for 08...

[DickyJordan]

If we can hear 'Michael Jordan',how wondeful!!
