PSA: 12.1 Voiceover Modifications

[Seraphice]

Captains!
 

Due to technical changes in the voiceovers of commanders, with the release of update 12.1 custom voice modifications will no longer work. Mod makers will need to update modifications in accordance with the changes in order for them to start working correctly. We will provide mod makers with all the required details in advance.

 

Fair seas!

You need to ask this in the right thread

Will you at least fix the issue that if I have a commander with special voiceover ALL the messages are played in that voice ? I mean unless I ma using national+, even other peoples messages have the voice of MY commander so I cannot distinguish between them ...

This is intended, and as you said you can use national voiceover + to fix this.

I cannot use National+ because I DO NOT understand Japanese, Spanish, Dutch etc ... So if it is intended to work like that, somebody at WG hates a lot of players because he/she is actively preventing them to understand what's going on in the game ...

Any quick commands that are used are also shown in the chat in the language that you have set, so it is certainly still possible!
I actually find that it can be easier to use national voiceover + because I know which ship is using the command only based on the language.
If I have an american BB, Japanese cruiser and french destroyer on my flank, I know immediately who is using the command based on the language spoken.

so let me get this correct:

 

1. You prefer reading chat which is slower to actually understanding the voice

2. You prefer to then having to look at the minimap on the opposite side of the screen to make sure which ship sent the message (notice that chat by default does never list ship names)

 

Instead of:

 

1. look at the minimap to see boadcast circle because I understand the message without having to read it as well ?

 

Not everybody plays BBs and has an eternity between reloads and when the rudder starts to react ....

To be fair, I often play entirely without sound when playing the game and it is fine. I know many others who do the same.

Right now there are no plans to rework this part of the voice settings

@Seraphice  can you  please let us disable only selective voiveovers from national+? I like notional+ from reasons you have mentioned above but I hate with a passion those transformers. Some players can't stand overexited manga girls etc...

A bit of more options and customisations would be welcome if you can do it without messing it completely up
