Hi,
Having extra voice packs for a small game wouldn't be too bad, but for
large projects there would be no way. For example, as part of my porting
process for Tomb Raider I have about 200 wav samples of Scansoft Karen,
and it is far from finished.
I know STFC 1.2 shipped with 296 wav samples

Hi Claudio,
Hmmm... I sort of was assuming here that everyone had heard the Scansoft
voices etc, but yes if I had to I could provide little mp3 clips of the
voices themselves
I suppose that could work, for voice things for speech I'd have no actual issue.
Some things in the acefire game by x-sight are in the public domain, the speech
files mainly and some sounds, I know that loads of effects avalible in some

Hi Bryan,
Yeah, the only problem with having end users creating their own sound
