SAM icon indicating copy to clipboard operation
SAM copied to clipboard

I can't make the program work

Open ZAZIO opened this issue 3 years ago • 9 comments

Explain like I'm five, I'm trying to get wav files of sam's voice lines but I can't even run the executable. Tried opening the notepad for instructions but I don't even know what SDL statement or CFLAGS etc. means.

I just need a bunch of cool text to speech noises for my project that's all, thanks.

Better documentation would be good, yes.

You grabbed the windows executable?

I extracted everything from the rar file then clicked on the exe. Didn't see anything being launched on another window or something

I think you're supposed to run it in the command prompt, it's not a GUI app

Yeah but how? cmd doesn't work

For that, I don't have a clue, I haven't used windows in... about 5 years now

Right then... Which OS do I need?

For best results grab a basic Linux distro and run it in a VM, then compile SAM.

Dunno if you found a way to work it but if not: Go to command prompt find location of sam.exe. Example 'Downloads\SAM_windows\SAM\sam.exe' Type in message and sam will play it back. Use -pitch, -speed, -mouth, and -throat with a value before typing a message to edit those.

Hope this helps
