Chatpacks

[Zapper]

Uhmm is there a file definition i should consider when i make a new chat pack?
Do i just make a Copy paste mod file? or shale i make a Installer?
Do we we have some rules regarding chatpacks?

thx

A "file definition"? Voice chats are defined in the file quickchat.mdl. If you want to add new sounds, edit sounddef.mdl.
How you deploy your chat pack is up to you. I think a zip archive with instructions like "Unzip in artwork folder, optionally back up before" would suffice.
As for rules, I don't think there are any. Though some people find it irritating when someone uses custom voice chats that aren't part of the standard distribution, effectively spamming the "Unknown chat" message.

What about file type? Both wav and ogg or just one?
What about the syntax in the quickchat.mdl? any special's?

what are these:
use "gamepanes";
use "quickchatheader";
use "sounddef";

thx

What is the syntax for the Sonic chat lookup table in quickchat.mdl??

I cant seem to get the logic connection to why its there or how to make it!?!

Make sure you do things one step at a time. If you add a lot and Allegiance crashes then you may have to spend some time to track down the error. The contents of QuickChatHeader.mdl may help you out if you open that up.

Sweet.. thx aem, i only searched on chatpack and not chat pack. So...

Regarding the ethical aspect. I have made a Duke Nuke'em VC chat pack and it contain Hardcore(by US standards) graphic language.
Like:
"I'm gonna rip off your head and @#(! down your neck"
"What a Pussy"
"Bitch"
"You guys suck"
"Son of a Bitch"
"@#(! happens"
"Holy @#(!"
and other colorful representations of the English gramma.
