but there are two sides of the coin here. if you use these recorded speech clips it will be more time consuming for you to adjust it, because you will always get complaints that the speech is too fast, that some users don't like this voice and that they may have something much better available to use, etc. My reply: Unfortunately, all I can say is that they are free to record and edit their own custom voice/language pack if it bothers them that much. I'm trying to create a high quality product, with the best possible voice possible, and using SAPI voices directly isn't as easy or simple as you think. I've got my reasons for not adding SAPI 5 support which I'll explain below. Matheus wrote: However, if you used sapi you could use a file to have the text in different lines. My reply: The thing is I'd litterally have to rewrite the entire game from scratch to add a feature like that. That's why I'm not adding SAPI support either. I don't think you understand the fact that what you are asking for is far too late in the development process. I am not going to spend the next six months or a year of my life totally rewriting Mysteries of the Ancients because a few people now want SAPI support. If we would have talked about this back when I was rewriting the G3D engine and game early in 2010 I might have considered it, but right now it is just way too late to think about it. Please, understand I want this game done in June if possible. I don't want to keep writing and rewriting the same thing over and over again. The fact of the matter is that no matter what I do weather I add SAPI support or don't add SAPI support I won't be able to please everyone. Somebody will just have to be unhappy with the results.
