King Coin's videos Options

[mALX]

KC, you might want to take a look at this mod here.

It should give you some more flexibility with adding Aravi's voices.

What I really want is sound files, preferably Imoen files. The sound set came with a limited selection and there are so many situations that I’d like a comment in, but no file fits. The sound set doesn’t even come with a basic ‘no.’
-------------------------------

Before I watch the vid I wanted to comment this comment !!! TK - thank you so much for that link - I DL'd the mod and absolutely LOVE it !!! Thank You, Thank YOU !!!!

BOLD: I'm with King Coin on needing more voiced sound files (WAV). Do you know where they can be gotten? Most of the character voice files in the "Oblivion Sound Sets" mod are from things like "Planescape Torment" and stuff like that. Is there a way to get more of these sound files that may have more dialogue on them? That would be AWESOME !!

Thanks again, TK !!!

Now, on to watch the vid !!!

[mALX]

Oh how sweet !!! Did you hear Vilja say "Leave my friend alone!" - Awesome !! ... GAAAAAAH !!!!! ARGH !!! What is happening? URG !!!! Poor Aravi !!!!!

[Thomas Kaira]

I am not really very aware of PC voice mods, because I don't really want one in my game (other than if I were to voice the lines myself, but since my current character is female, that would end up sounding quite odd).

There is also a "for companions" version of that mod, which might allow for KC to cook up some interesting conversations with Vilja. But again, the lack of PC voices is a definite problem here.

[King Coin]

Whoa, pants-free vampires. And I thought we just had to worry about them biting us in our sleep.

Back at the inn Vilja suggests a drink. Then later, does Aravi do what I think she does?! Aaaaaaah! Or was it just a dream?!

Like I said on Acadian’s post, I’m not sure why that was happening.

Despite all her faults Vilja is a good friend.

I’ll check into that other voice set, however Vilja already talks a lot. I wonder if there will be overlap if I try that one. I found some more Imoen dialog lines from the games, but they are compressed in a strange way and cannot be played by media player.

Aravi needs some time alone.

@ TK - That happened to me too, TK. I found some extra "Annah Torment" sound files in a Sound Set download from the "Sorcerers Place." - the sound files say they are WAV, but none of my Sound File Converters or Audio Editing software will open the WAV to listen to it (or convert it).

By the way, a word of warning for anyone downloading freeware or shareware Sound File Converters, stay away from the "Switch" one - it sucks, and they won't give you any tech support unless you buy their full product.

I spent all night HAND converting 2347 sound files from MP3 to WAV because it doesn't work automatically. The setting I put for it to convert to was WAV 22050 Mono. What came out of the converter was WAV 44100 Mono. WTH? They do not support their freeware/shareware products, so I just stayed up all night working my butt off for nothing. I'm tired and mad, lol.


@ - King Coin Like Aravi, I felt what she was feeling as she went off to be alone and think over what was happening after that last vid !!! I mean, where do the nightmares end and reality step in? Is she turning into a vampire or are the nightmares driving her mad? Bless her heart !!!

When she comes back, there is the feeling that she had been gone days, not just hours.

Whew!! I take it from the sunrise that it was a dream. I enjoyed the calm pace of this video very much, KC. There’s a time for rushing around, and I’m glad you showed us Aravi’s quiet time to herself.

Good idea to leave Vilja at the inn, if Aravi had to hear about purple flying whatever plant while the sun was coming up, Vilja might have finally earned a smack. And she has been sweet lately.

[Thomas Kaira]

mALX: You should probably look into Audacity. It's a marvelous free audio editor.

I'm not sure it has quite that functionality, but for almost everything audio related, Audacity is a great tool.

The Effects Grow Worse (5:29) -
The black & white and slow motion effects were very neat. I think perhaps the feeding on Vilja was a dream?

Clearing Her Head (6:06) -
A relief that she watched the sun rise with no damage! And a wonderful bath at the Black Rock Caverns waterfalls!


As ever, wonderful work, KC!

Thanks mALX! I’m not answering any questions, you shall see! I’m glad you get that feeling from this video. She really could have been gone several days. I’ll leave that up to open interpretation. I liked that part in the original Maxical story were she goes off into the mountains. I was thinking of that when Aravi went off on her own.

Thank you Grits! I get a kick out of your comments. She really needed some time to herself. She couldn’t face Vilja right away after what she experienced. I used to worry that videos like that would be boring and nobody would like them. I’ve been trying to work on them so that the fast paced and slow paced videos go well together with some success I think. Still learning about that. The comments help me judge my success.

Thank you Acadian! You didn’t miss as much as I thought you would because of how slow it’s been around here. I’m glad you liked the bath. That was as refreshing as the sunrise. Buffy would approve I think

That is exactly how it hit me !! It reminded me of that too !!

Very effective how Aravi had that flashback to her nightmare !!! She is not acting like her normal self, and Vilja seems to sense the difference, or so it seemed by the way she kept popping up behind Aravi in the vid, lol.

Vilja's popping and close following almost gave the feeling of Aravi being hounded in this vid !!

Awesome storyline and vid !!!

[Acadian]

Touching moments between Aravi and Vilja. Hmm, looks like time to move from the Aleswell Cottage to Red Rose Manor?

You continue to display a mastery of somehow capturing emotional content in your vids. Like all your work, this was so very well done.

[Grits]

At the very beginning, Aravi seemed reluctant to approach Vilja. Then when they started talking, it felt almost like a goodbye. When she looked back at the cottage and Vilja was standing there (in that dress!) I was so worried that Aravi was going to tell her to stay, for her own protection or something.

When Vilja spoke up in Red Rose Manor, I was so relieved! I second Acadian’s observation, you have created emotional content even though the only dialog comes from menu options. Very well done!!

Aravi really was distracted because she hardly noticed Vilja, and didn't even notice being hounded. I was very pleased how the flashback worked in so nicely. Thanks mALX!

Yes she's out of Aleswell at the very least until the nightmares end. Thanks for the compliments! Anyone can make a video bashing things so I'm trying to work in some emotions. It's more interesting if you care about the character.

It took her courage to approach Vilja. The nightmare really disturbed her because it seemed so real and it would be so easy to feed on Vilja if she did turn into a vampire. It actually did enter her mind to tell Vilja to stay but she really couldn't push away her best friend. Selfish maybe?
Like I said to Acadian, anyone can make a video of just bashing things. That wouldn't be as interesting if you didn't care about the character would it? I'm glad my efforts have been successful! Thanks Grits!

A trip to Morrowind! Amazing what you can coax out of someone with a charm spell, no?

Nice banter between Vilja and Aravi. Perhaps the snow and ice and more ice is nice for a Nord like Vilja, but I'm with Aravi in not being impressed.

[mALX]

WOO HOO !!! Getting to see Morrowind !!! What a mod !!!

Charm is definitely one of the more useful spells in the game. Vilja could have done a better job selling Solstheim. That whole snow and ice part could have been left out .

WOO HOO !!! Getting to see Morrowind !!! What a mod !!!

Just a small bit of it, but it's still cool!

That castle looks like Kvatch!  And Aravi said another phrase !!! I love her talking, it adds so much !!


GAAAAH! What about the "Standard?" I was really shocked they said she stole it, lol. I wonder if she had waited for them to leave if they would have left the shoes?

This mod is so exciting - better than that are your vids! Really well done, KC !!!! Awesome Job !!

[Grits]

Vilja confirmed some myths about Nords and blondes in general when she mentioned the snow and ice as a selling point to a Khajiit. Nice one, Vilja. And then maybe a lovely vacation at Wellspring Cave. Well, the last time I was there, it was not relaxing. I see why Vilja is not a travel agent.

And oh wow, Morrowind! Could the battle standard be one of those bolts of cloth? And is it me, or did the blond guy have a really big axe? Fun quest!

[Acadian]

Those two were great. Those Nords are terrible housekeepers. Don't you think so Vilja? Not like those nice orcs at all.

Some of Vilja's dialogue was priceless and it was great to see you work in a couple comments from Aravi.

Quite an intense fight with the Nords, and nice to Aravi use her Mara special power.

We couldn't find the Standard. She goes back for it, don't worry. I really liked that line, it fit that situation quite well.

I was surprised the orcs started yelling at her after she took the shoes. I was just glad that they didn't take it from her.

Thanks mALX!

We all know how much cats like the cold. Snow and ice? No thanks!
You have good eyes I didn't see it until later. Thanks Grits!

Invading armies are terribly hard on the furniture no? Lol I'm always glad when I can make something work with the sound sets.
