C2C - Tech Quote Thread

[cdman1990]

don't usually modders check each thread? or should i make a new one just to get someones attention

 

[Faustmouse]

No, they do.
However, adding quotes to techs isn't hard. Especially since there are Quotes for every Tech, they just need to be implented. It is REALLY easy and a great start to learn how to mod. Your help would be really appriciated.
So if you want to take over this project, we'd be very happy!

ok, tell me where to look and i'll do the update

edit: nvm found them i'll update the file and post it here

 

[Faustmouse]

Here is a list of quotes that need to be changes:

And here is a list of proposed quotes:

Edit: Oh, I just saw that you posted that list, so you don't need that post

Thanks for doing it!

 

[cdman1990]

so i finished updating CIV4TechInfos.XML

now for the new quotes, should i make a new .xml file or just update the existing TechnologyQuotes.xml ?

also i will add some new quotes for a couple of religious tech, because for example the current Yoruba tech quote is: "Attack!"

 

[cdman1990]

so i finished, here is the files

the only problem is can't find the information for the Canaanism tech, i can find all the other religious tech, but this one i can't

is there another file where it may be?

It should be in the Modules/Canaanism folder

Perhaps someone should go through any redundant quotes and just put TBD in their place so its easier to see which quotes need to be done.

 

[cdman1990]

@Dancing Hoskuld
Thanks i found the file in question and modified it

@Hydromancerx
No need for that, all the techs have specific quotes now, if you download and replace the files I modified

ok so for anyone who doesn't know the
- TehnologyQuotes.xml goes in ...Assets/XML/Text
- CIV4TechINfos.xml goes in ... Assets/XML/Technologies
- Canaanism_CIV4TechInfos.xml goes in ...Assets/Modules/Custom_Religions/Canaanism

Great job!
Now we need Audio Quotes for every Tech. So the Task now would be to identify techs that have a different audio and written quote and write a list.

cdman, do you want to do this as well?

 

[cdman1990]

ok, no problem it will take me a little more longer but i'll make the list

I did it once while playing a regular game. I think that's the funnier method. If you want to make this list as soon as possible (which is not necessary), try a Blitz Game with a lot of great scientists (Worldbuilder) in your city with multiple research on.


Thanks a lot!

i was just thinking of that, a scietific victory 1 man game would be the way to go.

the other option might me to search the xml but it would be too tendious and some techs have a audio qoute for an old tech quote.

if i have multiple research on and say i discover 3 techs a turn, will the audio start for every tech or just the first one i discover?
i played a game earlier with the option of faster AI turns (i have a slow computer by most standards) and sometimes when i discover a tech it will bypass the tech screen appearing and just start the turns, dont know if it bypasses the audio starting i mostly play without sound.

You can hear all quotes. Audio starts when each popup shows up.
Audio quotes added in C2C aren't turned off automatically even if the popup is skipped.

Audio quotes added in C2C aren't turned off automatically even if the popup is skipped.

But if the Popup is skipped you need to look in the Pedia to compare if audioquote = Textquote or not.

And please not only look for mismatches or missing quotes, but also for quotes that sounds really stupid: too low volume, bad quality...

 

[cdman1990]

ok so i started my game and i'm current in the ancient era and i need a couple of clarifications before i continue.

1. i found that some audio tech quotes are way different than the actual quote and i'm not talking about tech that have had a shared quote, for example the quote for the Karma tech and the audio quote for the Karma tech have nothing in common, and i know it's not an old audio quote, its a new one.
so there was an attempt to change the quotes way back?(i've been off civ4 for a couple off month so i don't know the actual progress) and the audio quotes remained?

2. is the someone who is currently doing audio quotes? i know there was the person who started the thread but i haven't seen him around here

3.i noticed that the caste system tech doesn't have an audio quote, even if its an bts tech that i am certain it had, maybe its an xml glitch, i didn't look in to it

@Faustmouse i'll include the tech that don't sound right but i need an confirmation that someone is willing to lend us his voice to record them properly

 

[Faustmouse]

1. I aldo noticed that. If the audio quote is fitting well and sounds good, I'd say we should change the Text Quote.

2. I'm not sure. I THINK there is someone. But the list will be usefull nevertheless. I think it's easier to find someone who is willing to record them once they know excactly which quote.

 

[cdman1990]

1. i think we should keep the text quotes and make new audio ones because even if you write the quote after you here the audio, you can't know who possibly said it

 

[cdman1990]

i finally finished the list, its pretty long.

also i updated the tech files, i missed a couple of tech the first time.

some of techs were ported over from the Next War mod, so i think i can find some of the audio there. also i can search for the quotes that are from movies, maybe i can find them and extract the audio.

is there any specific conditions for the audio except for them being .mp3?

but on the morrow, now its late, nighty night

 

[Faustmouse]

Cool!

IIRC they should have the "bing" sound at the beginning with some time between the bing and the quote.

Also, if you use movie quotes, please make sure that they sound ok. I for example think the "Conan, what is best in life?" and the Indiana Jones quote about Archealogy sounds not really like a quote should sound, since they don't fit with the rest.

Do you eventually plan to voice quotes by yourself=
