I've been messing around with some machine learning stuff, and I found out that you can create new EVA lines with some of the new voice models. 

 

For example: "Warning. Enemy Mental Omega Device detected."

A lot of the missions had to reuse the same small set sound barks from the game's files - I can hardly count the number of times I've heard the game say "Enemy armor battalion detected." As an added bonus, the intro lines could also be voiced. For example, imagine seeing this:

Yeah, I think so. I've heard some other examples before for the support powers and superweapons - out of which I'd definitely like to implement ones for the minor and major supers.

f anyone's experienced enough with this and would like to assist - let me know.

I made an example of how it can be finalized here: https://www.youtube....h?v=aFtTa1IoIVA

 

Please keep in mind that this was done through a video editor, I have no clue about how to do mapping or modding. I just had some free time to synthesize some AI lines.

I could give it a shot. The generator I used works best with tuned prompts (occasionally phrased phonetically), which don't deviate too strongly from the text that's already in the game, so it may falter for longer, more elaborate exposition. Superweapon callouts and one-offs (like the first line linked above showing up in the first Allied mission featuring the MO device) are probably the strongest use-case for that tech. Let me know which lines you'd like to hear, and I'll have a go at them.

 

Alternatively, I could look into other models. I've heard friends talk about more advanced ones, but they take a bit of doing to get working.

Well, let's try to cover the new Foehn superweapons and Rage first.

 

WARNING - Blast Furnace detected!
WARNING - Blasticade activated!
Blasticade ready.
WARNING - Tempest Architect detected!
WARNING - Great Tempest created! /or/ WARNING - Tempest Architect activated!
Great Tempest ready.
WARNING - Rage Inductor detected!
WARNING - Rage activated!
Rage ready.

Any suboptimal results can be retried a few times - it takes a little while to load new ones, but if the delivery doesn't feel right on one or more, that's easy enough for me to fix. It's a stochastic process, so there's always the possibility of a better roll. If these results seem largely alright, there's support for the two other communications officers.

Also, the Red Counter Strike dev seems to be experimenting with this as well. He tried the EVA voice in a recent video, and noticed the same issues I did - seems to be using a different voice with more training data now as a temporary measure. May be worth keeping an eye out, in case he discovers something (or sharing a better model, if I'm able to locate one).

Have you tried doing these with the other EVA announcer voices?

[Ezikell]

Man that's really cool. I wonder if the same can be done for Yuri's voice?

Yep - Examples on the bottom of that post. I've tried other lines, and they seem to be roughly on par with the Eva voice. The tech's advanced since I made the original post, so it might be possible to get meaningfully better performance with some dedication.
