[1.9] Npc Speech {76 Votes, 89.5% Approval}

Yes, I know that Wynncraft is still on 1.8. However, when Wynncraft eventually does update, it should use 1.9's Voice/Speech thing for NPC dialogue. There would be a toggle command to change it:

Code:

/toggle dialogue <chat/sound/both>

It's as easy to make as recording, filing it in the resource pack, and doing:

Code:

/playsound <sound> <source> <player> [x] [y] [z] [volume] [pitch] [minimumVolume]

Overall, this would make the game more immersive as you can add infinite sounds. Merchant, quest, and even server (server messages) dialogue! It would be very useful for those don't want to read large amounts of text or have difficulty doing so. Also, you could change Voice/Speech into Important Sounds with en_US.lang!

 

Hmmm, maybe add an option to keep it with text? Some people either can't ay with sounds, don't want to, etc.

 

It'd be cool, but here's the problem. Some people (like me) have lag/audio issues with this new "voice feature" so it'd make wynn more painful for people with shit PCs (like me) and make it more elitist or whatevr

 

The amount of NPC's they would have to do would take awhile. But, doesn't sound like a bad idea. There will definetly be cons

 

cool idea, but I usually have YouTube going and my MC volume not on.

 

New voice actor rank? XD
I think it would be a clever thing to implement, maybe they can have 2 texture packs (Resource packs) One that is designed for lower-tier computers (The current one that it runs on) Then the primary texture pack which includes the voice acting as well? The lower-tier can be downloaded Via the website, and the higher tier can be defaulted

 

Just turn off volume.

There's already a thing where it keeps text, I'll add a toggle.

Read above.

I've always wanted to hear Yahya's sexy voice.

 

:)

 

Wynncraft would have to hire voice actors though.

They could always use the voices of the community, but some voices would be hard to do.

 

The problem with this is as @Papyrus stated, the voice acting.

 

I'm sure if Grian does a "Looking for Voice Actors" thread we'll be fine.

 

I forgot the powers of Grian. But yeah, I guess +1. They would have to talk rather slowly though.

 

I'm aware, I read the thread first. I just feel it would be a nice alternative to do two texture packs

 

There's no reason if you can just change it with a command or option.

 

Problem 2: Skipping text. Would it stop the clip and start the new, or would it slog on AFTER the text is long gone from your chat.

Problem 3: Lag. Voice chat causes huuuuge lag, even if your volume is off.

 

Sound doesn't really cause lag if not used too often at one place.
Also, I think it'd be better to stop the sound when the player skips a Dialog nd Start the new one, otherwise it'd be hard to understand

 

In RuneScape, only low-level quests are voice acted and the higher level ones aren't done yet. They don't need to do every single one at once.

 

I know. But the entire process will take awhile.

and wait. Runescape voices them now?! Bruh old school was the way to go

 

Why skip text? It's more interesting with those gaps. But, yes. It would be 1 sound for a whole thing. (Maybe change if people want.
