So I take it I'm one of the guys, along with you and Shar, to be heading this then?
Hey hey, the only non-VA part I volunteered for is pretty much busywork. Hardly what I'd call even vaguely a leadership position. :P
 
Very well then! What's the first task?
When ficedula enables his xml export feature, we'll need to go through the script and weed out the dialogue that won't be voiced ("Item Received" and things like that). We should put in some placeholder sounds and play through some of the game's areas just to make sure Ultrasound works in every case.

I've written up most of the audition threads. I just need to find some good lines that allow the actors to show off their skills. When the threads are posted, I'll make a new thread here, and you can share the links with your cast and any other people you think might be interested.
 
What shard says:
First the coding part and when that works well the voicing part will need much time, thats for shure but we wouldnot need to cast all at the same time.

Mby some coder here will try to get such a progy :P
Ok writing english is hard when its 3 am ^^
 
Aussieroth and I have already talked about the project, and we're going to go ahead and do it. We have very similar mindsets about how we want a FF7 voiceover project to turn out. We're currently coming up with a list of lines/scenes people can read for auditions. With any luck, auditions will be open sometime this week.

I am wishing you guys the best of luck!

I am very thrilled about your partnership.

Basically done: http://www.ficedula.co.uk/voices/Ultrasound_0_36.zip

You first need to extract all the files from FLEVEL.LGP into a folder, and decompress the LZS-compressed ones. Then the Tools / Extract option in Ultrasound will build/update the voices XML files for you.

Also, it'll put any entries that it doesn't think are dialogue into comments in the file, so it's clearer when you view the file (...if it's something that understands XML, anyway...) which entries actually need to be recorded. It might get it wrong, in which case you just need to move the entries out of the comment block.

The Tools / Analyse option will tell you what percentage of the required voices file are recorded for each location (& overall), skipping any entries that have been commented out of course...

Look forward to seeing it.

Cheers.
 
I would like to organice a homepage just for that, not only working on the forum all the time. It will get very complicated after all.
 
Certainly I'd suggest we want decent file hosting at a minimum (which I'm quite happy to provide - I have a dedicated server with reasonable bandwidth and disk space spare); I'm a fan of Bittorrent Sync for distributing and updating files easily, although there are other options.

While a homepage might be wanted at some point, I'm not sure what you'd need it for to start work on the project. The forum works for general coordination, IMO.

Well from time to time the forum isn't reachable. This happens rather often lately.
 
You make a good point. It'd be easy enough for me to set up a private forum on my server for project use, I guess.
 
Eh, it's never down for more than a minute at a time or so; just refresh. Any coordination that needs to be done live would be better suited for IRC or Skype anyway, and if it doesn't need to be live then the site forums are still perfectly fine for that.
 
Thanks for the update on your program Ficedula. We're just waiting for DLPB to release the newer version of his translation/reunion.
 
Now that practically DLPB is completely done with the translation, will work resume on this project?

Thanks!
 
He only finished his part on the project...
The final (and I do mean final) check is done.  My job is done now. In the coming days I will be sending a lot of stuff to Covarr and Luksy and then the project will be 100% complete.
 
Even so, auditions are still open until Nov 10. It'll be a while yet before recording begins.
 
Not sure if anyone is still here or not, or if I can still help, but i'd love to try and do some voices! I've never done anything like this so it would be new, It doesn't matter for who it would be for, but i'd love to see this mod play out into something big, and i'd love to contribute!
 
Auditions ended over a month ago. You're late to the party.

Send a demo reel (preferably of FF7 characters since you said you're new) showing off your voice range and acting talent to [email protected]. If we notice it, and it's really good, you MIGHT be able to voice some minor characters in the future.
 
Well i'm glad that this is still happening! Great news to hear and yeah i'll try it out and get them there pretty soon!
I'll do some of the main characters just for an example, I don't expect to be picked since they ended already, but just for an easy idea of what to do!
Thanks Shard, I'll get on it when I can.
 
I am also so very glad for your message, Shard!

I wish you the best of luck with this amazing project! ;)
