Speech tag support for SAPI
Support for using SAPI tags to play messages using different voices and/or voices settings in-game, the settings are added to each Persona on messages.tbl, then each message, or cmdbrief, debriefing, briefing stages need to be set to use that persona.
Example for Persona:
$Persona: Holley $Type: wingman $Speech_Tags: +Gender: Female +Langid: 1009 +Pitch: 6
$Persona: Epsilon 1 $Type: wingman $Speech_Tags: +Gender: Male +Langid: 409 +Rate: 2 +Pitch: 10 +Volume: 70
Options for voices: Gender: Male or Female Langid: These are set by Microsoft, Sapi Settings informs that data. Rate: -10 to 10 Pitch: -10 to 10 Volume: 0 to 100
If a langid or gender is not installed/avalible in user S.O. SAPI adjusts by playing the voice closer to what it is selected. Because SAPI is depecrated in Windows, in order to use all MS voices, after installing them, the voice tokens must be copied in registry from the Speech_OneCore to Speech. This has to be done externally, whiout this only Zira and David are avalible to use. Sapi Settings can do that now.
FSO: -Support for multiples SAPI voices for messages, cmdbrief, brief, and debriefing stages. -Personas have optional speech tag settings for langid, gender, rate, pitch and volume. -In Fiction Viewer mode, the speaker name is the persona name. -Changed the speech_buffer used for debriefings from a fixed char [4096] to a SCP_String, it made the code easier to write, also i was afraid that the tags size would make some debriefings to actually hit that limit. -Added a cmdline argument to disable use of speech tags to force the default selected voice.
Fred2: -Support for using speech to play messages, and texts in cmdbrief, briefing and debriefing editors. Only used if there is no audio file loaded. -Added combo box to select Personas for each cmdbrief, brief, and debriefing stages. -Made the persona selection for messages on event editor a little bigger, it was making the persona selection hard if there are too many.
