World Text To Speach Dialogue

Disclaimer: English is not my native languange​

Some players have a hard time reading the dialogue by themselves, either its because they are children that don’t know how to read yet or people with dyslexia or perhaps some they just feel bad reading it all alone. Many players also skip sometimes the “reading” part cuz they get bored of reading and with that they miss out on certain lore.

Introducing *drums drums drums* text to speech dialogue ;D
​

The idea is simple, ya know those text to speech websites? So my idea is all dialogue in game should be written & voiced(is voiced even a word?) for better experience. not all of the voices will be the same! but in catagories, (almost)all men will have the same voice, all women can have the same voice, all children and every monster will have a diff voice. the voices shall be put into the game by the texture pack/plugin and you will have the option to turn them off(so they wont annoy people that don’t want them).

the idea is wip currently and not finished
Pros:

1. Could bring more people to wynncraft

2. Will help some people understand the lore better

3. Aint that hard to implement (could even be a comunnity project idk)

cons:

1. time consuming to implement

2. idk if its ok with copyright laws

lemma know what do you think! :D

 

+1 i always end up skipping a word in a line of text and ending up re-reading the entire dialogue.

 

I don't know if this is actually possible. Sure, you could replace some sound files in the resource pack, but a. i think that's already done for a few of them and b. there's not nearly enough replaceable sound files for this to work.

I just don't think it can be done.

 

i'm pretty sure thats impossible....

 

Like the idea overall, but would be almost impossible, or at the very least, way too hard and time-consuming for it to be worth it. The team has many other things that take up much higher priority.

 

I thought you were able to make and play your own sound files in resource packs using command blocks and /playsound?

 

That might be true. I'm not really current on command block usage, but if so then this could be possible. If you could confirm, then there's not really much else of an issue with the suggestion.

 

I remember hearing this a long time ago, back around when 1.9 or 1.10 was first introduced, I don't know if it's still true or not however.

 

i think is possible, maybe the pack itself would be too large counting the amount of audio files needed
but if i remember well some other mini-game servers uses a website to play songs and audio files that interface with minecraft through a plugin.
This last option would allow the player to decide if he want the background audio from the browser or not :)

 

You can definitely play any sound within a resource pack using /playsound, but even after a bit of research i'm not sure if sounds that are added in (as in, not a modified soundbyte that already existed) can be played using it.

 

+0.5
it could be implemented, but really isn't necessary
you could just buy a text to speech reader and just insert the quest text from the Wynncraft Wiki.

 

@NPCGrian
thanks for you signature again

 

well, it we just find grain making every single pronouncable sound, a modpack could do it.

 

I noticed awhile back that there was a feature to add voice clips. I kinda forgot where in the menu though

 

part of wynncraft's appeal is its accessibility. there is no 2 GB download or add-ons, it's a quick rp download and a few clicks before you are playing. the sound files would increase the size of the rp.

 

If you play in 1.12 there's already a narrator feature in the vanilla game. Just set it to narrate all, and it'll read out everything in chat. This doesn't need to be part of Wynncraft itself.

 

Btw, I feel like if you are

(excuse bad grammar in quote, context changed it) you probably shouldn't be playing online games with text chat, or generally tbh.

 

It’s possible.

Sound files do not need to be replaced for this to work. As long as sound files are in the dir\sounds folder, thy can be played using command blocks in resource packs.

 

Why not if its possible, I do have trouble reading and understanding sometime because of words I rarely read but rather hear. (that's because i'm french btw)

probably won't be able since they don't share the code to avoid it being stolen (already happened)

Anyway, yea, I can't really explain a lot cuz I gtg, but yea seems cool
