Hi all,

I'm tottaly new here,  , so I have a newbe problem.
I wanted to use the auto speech feature of WME, so I used the string table utility and made my string.
I have a package with some speech files named "greek". I added this dir with AddSpeechDir.
Well when in Project Editor (F5), everything works fine. The actor automatically says the correct audio files (eg 0001.ogg).
But, when I compile the game, I have no speech at all.
Am I doing something wrong?

Best regards,
Spyros

Please post exactly where your files are located and what are you sending to AddSpeechDir. Are you perhaps adding the path including the package name? For example instead Game.AddSpeechDir("data\speech\greek"); you should only use Game.AddSpeechDir("speech\greek"); because "data" is the name of the package.

Thanks for quick answer!

I used just "greek", there is no "speech" dir.
Used: Game.AddSpeechDir("greek");

(I could attach an image of the dirs, but I don't see any attachment or uploading options here)

OK, I figured out.

As I understand, for WME, packages are not folders. (Am I correct?)
So using Game.AddSpeechDir("greek"); points to nowhere when I compile the game (allthough it works in Project Manager with F5).
I had to add a subfolder to the package.

This is what I did.
Make a package named "greek".
Add a subfolder to this named "voices".
Now I use Game.AddSpeechDir("voices"); This way it is working fine.

More with this.
Make a new package named "english".
Add a subfolder to this named "voices".
Compile the "english" package.
Now if I replace the greek.dcp with the english.dcp, I have my game speaking english. Cool

Metamorphium,
Thanks for the link. I have seen that and wish to see the book finnished.

But anyway, Is there any mistakes about my above thinking?
Actually, the user selects the language and the installer takes care which package to install.

If you want the user to downlad/install just one language, your work is totally correct. When you use InnoSetup for example ( thats the only tool I use and know, it works with others too ), you could create a web-installer which only downloads the file "english.dcp" for example and installs it as "voices.dcp" which WME then uses.
