Not-Silent Jay
Bungie rocks. I think that's what this website (this family of websites) comes down to. Latest example: When Jay Weinland, Bungie Audio Gnome, learned that forum regular Hedgemony was on a quest to catalog all the existing lines of dialog in Halo, he popped into our forum with some targets to shoot at. The basic numbers:
- 153 AI categories (i.e. killed enemy with mounted weapon)
- ~5600 combat dialog speech files
- 1,238 scripted dialog files (cinematics and set in-level dialog)
- Dialog attributed to 4 marines, 2 sargeants, grunt, elite, jackal, flood, Keyes, hunter, and the Monitor
There are some caveats explaining why all of the dialog can't be found... but this should help Hedge get a lot farther along. One source for AI categories which hasn't been tapped yet, I don't think, is Marty's speech at the Game Developers Conference last March... I'm pretty sure all 153 are visible there. Bottom line; this is a huge project... but not one that Hedge can be helped with, except peripherally (like this). Here's hoping he gets there! (Louis Wu 15:18:07 UTC)
