Question about radio modding tool

Post by Echo300 » 2009-05-05 20:00:13

There was a tool mentioned at Frugals a few weeks ago for opening the file (I don't even remember the name of the file) containing all the words that can be said over the "radio". I haven't been able to find this tool again. IIRC the tool incorporated the name of the file it was meant to edit into its name. Does anybody remember the tool I'm talking about?

IIRC, the tool is falcontalk, or falcontlk? by Julian Onion.

It is TLK Viewer and it works.

If you can't find it I can upload and provide a link for you.

Sound format must be exact. ACM or something. I get it to work in sim, means I managed to make the tower talk Turkish. Use the csv file coming with it to find voice fragment numbers easily.

If you want to edit your TLK file, and you want to copy it to another place and work from there, it is possible, but it needs two more files with it, they are evalfile.bin and fragfile.bin I guess.

Cheers.

Is there any chance to increase the qty. of stored files? Because on bigger theaters are more airbase. Can we record stuff for Europe projects?

I don't understand your question. Do you mean what did they change WRT to the "voices" you hear from wingmen, AWACs, ATC, etc?

Hehe. I knew I shouldn't have written it like that - WRT stands for With Regard To.

I understood the WRT; that wasn't a problem understanding that. But I still need you to answer my question if you want me to understand so I can answer your question. ;)

Ah. :D A better way to phrase my question would be - Why does TLK viewer not work for Allied Force?

Because when Lead Pursuit programmed the AF executable they increased the amount of data storage in the "FALCON.TLK" file (so it could address more sound "snippets") and they programmed the AF executable to be able to address these additional sound snippets. The old TLKViewer program was design to address the old Falcon 4.0 (1998) sound structure for the FALCON.TLK file.

The TLKViewer program WILL open the AF FALCON.TLK file, but cannot "reach" all of the sound snippets. The only way to find out it's limitations is to try it and see for yourself. Remember to back up anything you are working with first though in case you corrupt it when playing with it.
