...please bring back the "Team17Test" speech bank for Worms Reloaded!

It was awesome, and I remember lolling heartily at it back in the day. :cool:

That is all. :p

Speaking about SpeechBanks:

Please add the "Import Speechbanks" feature to Worms: Reloaded!

This would be sick.

Haha
Why is everybody up for one single speech bank? It would be much better if Team17 included all speech banks ever appeared in Worms.

BTW, my favourite speech bank is Stiff-Upper-Lip, but it is included, I know.

I really want the speech bank with the "condescending attitude" from Worms3D back though. Oh, and the Captain speech bank from Worms: A Space Oddity was also pretty cool. :cool:

I love Soulman.

They could just support custom speechbanks again so we can copy over whatever we liked.

But keep it optional to listen to "other" players custom speech banks, as it will like be abused by people with obnoxious sounds.

Yeah but I have no idea how to get speechbanks from the Wii version :D

I've got the speech banks from W3D for WA though.

I remember the "Norwegian" spechbank from Worms United. Much more fun when there is speachbanks in our own language :D

I second this!
Bring back Team17Test!

Even better, record a NEW one!
Preferably when at the local Ossett pub.

I heard there were even several German speech banks with a Saxon accent for example... Unfortunately, although I got the game, I'm unable to hear it. When I play Worms United, I can't hear any in-game sound. Just the music.

I've never taken the German speech banks for my team. There's just too much standard. However, Stiff-Upper-Lip gives my worms a personality :D

I only know of multiple German accents from the PS1 version of WA.
There are indeed a handful, including Saxon and Bavarian, IIRC.

Thurbo
13 Mar 2010, 21:34
Thats kinda strange. Why have there been German accents in the ps1 but not in the PC version? :-/

in wwp (idk if they are in w:a) there are 3 spanish speechbanks: hispanic, spanish 1 and spanish 2... i prefer spanish 1, but hispanic is good too.... it represents the american spanish (america=continent xD), the spanish 1 sounds like the spain spanish and the spanish 2 sounds like a girl sometimes xD

Thurbo
14 Mar 2010, 13:10
Yes I know them, they are also in W:A. But only one German bank :(

lol but W4M didn't feature ANY old speech banks, neither did Worms 3D and WF. Why did you get disappointed then?

Ignoring the fact you'd have to download a load of sound files.
In past games where you could create custom soundbanks only you would hear them, everyone else would just hear the default sounds.

Worms 4: Mayhem generally had the worst speechbanks. I hated most of them. :/

Thurbo
14 Mar 2010, 20:00
Dunno, I personally pretty much liked Secret Agent, Gangster and Whoopsie. I didn't care too much for the others :p Oh wait, Quiz Master was also a good one.
Esbern, the old speech banks were included in Open Warfare 1&2 again and also in W2A together with some of the 3D Worms speeches, so no need to be THAT disappointed :D IF you think they aren't icluded ANYMORE you are wrong, thats what I wanna say.

The voices I'd like to see in this game are big Ron (worms 3D) or Brummie (Armageddon) (They're basically the same thing.) or something like them.

Thurbo
17 Apr 2010, 11:50
Well then everybody would like to have his own voice in and T17 had to include all :cool:

But to be honest, I don't think that was a bad idea :p

T17 Test will not be making a comeback because these days we have to be careful with ratings boards, t17 test would probably get the whole game slapped with an 18 rating. :)

How the hell was W:A rated E by ERSB? It wasn't just T17T where objectionable content was located.

BillT17
19 Apr 2010, 11:21
LOL, you are right, but the ratings boards have really tightened up these days and actually play the games and what with the whole political correctness etc there is no chance that WA would be rated E these days.

Why not? There are many more English ones.

Thurbo
21 Apr 2010, 18:40
Oh my god... That's why certain speech banks got censored in OW2?! I'm not a native speaker of English but haven't listened to T17 test exactly, what made it being political incorrect? And are ratings also the responsible party for you not executing advertising campaigns as with WA (Like this "Enjoy a nuclear winter" one) anymore?

That would explain many things. I always had the feeling older Worms had one hell of a lot darker humour than today's ones.

Spanish 2, Hispanic was weird :S

ToonLink
21 Apr 2010, 23:50
i think spanish 2 sounds like a girl sometimes xD hispanic is based in a mix of an argentinian and a neutral spanish (sometimes it says "ahi tenés" instead of "ahi tienes") but i prefer spanish 1

poninja

BillT17
22 Apr 2010, 09:03
Yes, it's true that we have to tread a little more carefully these days. A good example would be that we had a lot of complaints about the Raj speech bank and maybe with a bit of justification. We still want Worms to be funny and we are working on some nice campaigns for future games, but yes the days of getting away with anything are long gone. :(

I liked W3D and Worms Forts voices. I think WF is the most brutal Worms ever :p

Really? It wasn't that hard I weren't able to complete any missions/deathmatches with gold :D

By the way, the last mission was kinda epic, T17 really has done a good job there. Felt like my worm troops just raised up to real heroes :p

got the pc demo and i was really confused

Thurbo
9 Jun 2010, 19:24
So mainly some of the voices aren't allowed in newer games due to bad language or political incorrectness? Then why do some ones still say stuff like "Bloody Hell"? Or did I misunderstand something? :p

Not even then, actually. For some reason, the avatar's shade of blue is a bit different to the actual background.

Don't ask me how he managed to do that.

How do you draw something transparent?

How do you draw something transparent?

Typically by fiddling around with the Alpha Channel in your graphics editor of choice.

Paintshop Pro 5 is not very good for editing the alpha channel I find, but it does it well enough for me to not bother trying to get hold of something better.

In the first picture, the top image is of the picture as saved, the bottom image is with the alpha channel (displayed in the box to the right) loaded - that is, PSP is displaying what appears transparent (represented with the checkered background).
The second picture is a scaled down version of the end result.

Only GIF and PNG formats support transparency. If you have something like Photoshop you can remove the background with a Wand tool or something, leaving that special "checkered background". In stuff like Flash there's an option when exporting the image to make the background transparent (beware of areas you forgot to fill in because they match the "background" also becoming transparent). And stuff like Paint just doesn't support transparency.
