However, it's not as simple as it looks to transfer the sounds. The "wav" files for characters in Black Isle games (including those of Torment) can only be used ingame (there's probably some sort of encryption). If you try to play them like an ordinary wav on Media Player, for example, they won't work. I suspect they won't work either if you just copy them to the "Speech" folder in JA2. If there's some way to "decrypt" the wav files, I'm not familiar with it.

This idea also occurred to me. The sound sets for BG2 and IWD2, in particular, have event triggers similar to those of JA2 (e.g. becoming seriously wounded, spotting an enemy, reaction to friend's death, etc.) and could easily be "recontextualized" for JA2.

[QBThose older games used some fancy files, I recall some games like Grand Theft Auto, spending hours finding the proper codec, proper bit setting and proper KHZ, Once you had it the sounds were able to be played, guess they use the same thing, you need a good sound programme like Cool Edit Pro 2.

I haven't really played that far into the countryside but I have to tell you that Rude Dog IS my favorite RPC. Ok, so I might be a little biased here but with him and my IMP, BobKat, its like I have two alter egos in game. They are racking up kills like crazy. On day five they are fast approaching 200 apiece while Tex, Rosebud, and Postie are getting close to 100 each.
I only hired Gasket and Gumpy to haul equipment and train militia. No one from the outside Danubia is fighting in my game except for BobKat and when the militia trainers get attacked.

Grunty,
Maddog isn't new my friend. He was always in Estoni and he still loved breaking stuff.
Have you run into Postie, Skitz, Reuben, Spike, Cobra, Kelly, or AH HEM, RUDE DOG?
I agree with some of the views you point out, ie Razor/ Gasket, but overall we weren't going back to Arulco and we were REMAKING the entire game or as much of it as we could. Hence, TWO AND A HALF YEARS in the making! (He says while still muttering incoherently and shaking his head in disbelief at the sheer length of time it took.) :innocent:

No one mentions Trevor ? I always play with Trevor cause he's so good at lockpicking, and his (scottish ? irish ?) accent is excellent.
