Female voices
There are female models, but no female voices. I propose to add them so whoever uses a female model will also sound like that. If it's approved I'll go search female voice actors, for example on NewGrounds voice acting, and find one that'll be willing to act in return for an entry in the credits and horny 14 years old's praises.
What about https://github.com/red-eclipse/community/tree/master/shirepirate/data/sounds/voice?
I... was not aware of that. These are great, @shirepirate! They do need some work to be consistent with our voices though - adding the radio white-noise background, and maybe other polishing. Who recorded this? Was it you @TheLastProject?
No clue who recorded it and it misses license information too, but they seem of pretty good quality. I'd like to see some female voices myself in RE too.
Also, Sylvie is not my GitHub username, please be careful highlighting people like that.

it was just an experiment to see what i could come up with. a friend of mine provided voices. if i put more effort i could make it sound similar to the radio static probably. i made male ones too but didn't upload all of them. to get voices right a lot of retakes are necessary (especially when its amateur hour). some of them are quite good, others are poor and have a bad tone, tempo or pronunciation.
i suppose they could be added gradually though, even as placeholders.
I'll try and implement that. Might take some time though, I never dived there.
My brother recently purchased professional recording equipment for his band and other musical hobbies. Cinta and I will be doing some new voices for the main player characters sometime in the near future. The biggest question is, what clips do we want/need? Is the current list OK, or is it lacking in some areas?
That's good news :+1:
We all got used to the current voice set, but getting new ones will be a great enhancement. Maybe that's a good chance to add more "tactical", mode-specific options to the voice menu.
I suggest following bonifarz's links to the old discussion.
I think one sound we REALLY need is an objective-specific one. For example, "get the flag" or "get the ball". Too many people play other game modes as if they're deathmatch. Let's help reinforce that that is NOT the case through voice commands.
Thanks for linking the topic. Your example is what i had in mind... and I bet we can come up with a few more options that are more specific (e.g. which flag, or things like mining your base). That's why i think the forum is a good place to discuss the details, like phrasing, complexity or length of some options.
i think it would be fun to throw taunts in there as well as objective-based commands
Which taunts ae you talking about @shirepirate? We aleady have 'lucky shot', 'haha', etc. Also, one tactical team command is 'help me' to complete 'hang on'.
If you look at his community data linked above, you'll find a bunch of new taunts. Fun stuff. One of the comments on an old forum topic was also about taunts and something with number hotkeys. Could be done with the compasses, extra lines are just appended below.
Team chat I'd like to hear:
- P: pass the ball to me (bb)
- C: hey you, catch! (bb)
- F: I got their flag (ctf)
- R: return our flag! (ctf)
- B: our base is uncovered (non-dm)
- M: our base is mined
- D: I'll defend here
- H: I need some backup
- W: on my way
- S: stay together (dm)
- L: leave me alone (dm)
- T: I'm on your team, idiot (dm)
'Pass the ball to me' could be 'Pass it to me' to cover CTF as well - it's a tactical maneuver that's not familia with many.
