- wall of text, but after you'll read it, your Zergs will be with Overmind voice instead grandmother voice -
WARNING!!! Officially it's not allowed to modify game files. You are installing this mod for your own risk
I know, that many players don't like new Zerg announcer voice. In SC2 we heard old grandmother's voice for Zergs. Yes, Overmind was killed in SC1, but... his voice is more cool, than new.
I've created small modification for StarCraft 2 with Overmind's voice for Zerg.
Some voice changes in this mod - fixed some bad replies, like "Spawn moar overlooods" to "Spawn more overlords" - deleted long pauses from some replies - added echo and some sound effects, that makes voices more like Overmind from SC1 and from SC2 vampaign from one of Zeratul's briefings
Another good thing for this MOD - you can play with this mod in MULTIPLAYER, and of course, in ranked matches too.
1) Make file-copies for StarCraft II/Mods/Liberty.SC2Mod/enGB.SC2Assets _AND MAYBE_ StarCraft II/Versions/Base/15405/patch-enGB.SC2Archive (if this file exists. I don't know, did Blizzard replaced announcer voice "We must place that on vespene geyser" to "On vespene geyser")
3) Open enGB.SC2Assets and go to LocalizedData -> Sounds -> ZergUnitVO -> Queen. Select all sound files from downloaded archive (from eng or rus folders) and move them to MPQEditor's windows with replacing original voice .ogg files. COnfirm replacement.
4) *If Blizzard added shorter reply about "place on vespene geyser", if not, miss this paragraph* Open StarCraft II/Versions/Base15405/patch-enGB.SC2Archive like you're opened previous archive and go in MPQEditor to folder Liberty.SC2Mod -> ruRU.SC2Assets -> LocalizedData -> Sounds -> ZergUnitVO -> Queen, where you must replace only ONE file - Alert_ZergPlaceOnVespeneGeyser.ogg
4) Confirm replacement and CLOSE MPQ EDITOR. If you didn't closed it, SC2 will have some problems
5) Start StarCraft 2 and play with Overmind's voice
P.S. If you want test new voices without changing game files, open voice .ogg-files in any media-player.
please add a youtube video with the sounds, i dont know what to expect LE I previewed the files in the archive, Imo you should rip the sounds in SC1 and place them in SC2
1) Video doesn't needed. Download archive and open sound .ogg files in any media-player (if you have K-Lite codec pack).
2) SC1 announcer voice dosn't have a lot replies, that are in StarCraft 2. Thats why I've changed Zerg grandmother's voice to Overmind's voice. Same words, same replies, but with bass, echoes and some fixes, like long sounds ("spawn more overloooords", etc) or long pauses ("Mutation...... complete", etc)
3) Bad quality? I have standart sound output. Remember, that there are original sound voices, but with some changes, as I said, to bass, echo and other
Kryptonite Remember overmind's voice from SC2 campaign from one of zeratul's briefings. I think, it's very same with new overmind voice from campaign. I'm not expert in sound editing.
prodiG TOU? Yes, one of many patches broked it, but if you will replace files in SC2 archives (sc2assets, etc), it will work
Thratur That's your choice. Play then with original woman zerg announcer
Russian= Hella hard to understand even if you know russian, unless you know what it says before you listen to it :-) Edit: IMO i think the 'woman announser' is supposed to be the queen. Perhaps im wrong
Does anyone still have the file for the phase 1 "WE REQUIRE MORE MINERAWLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"? I wanna switch that back to the boring less zergy voice.
I will probably end up doing voices for advisors and such totally from scratch later on. Not just attempts to replicate old/existing stuff but new ones as well.
I also plan to do a bunch of extra lines for mappers to use. So if you have any specific requests for lines for such voices... let me know.
I know you already linked to my thread, but ample warning doesn't hurt. Everyone should be aware that (I'm 99.9% sure) this is against the ToU/EULA. Whether Blizzard will take action over such a thing, however, is debatable; just be mindful that this is an actionable offense before you do it.
Yes, but there no voices with "Enemy starts build zealots" or you think, that Overmind will tell me, what I need to build and will give me autowin?
Theta][Sigma Thank you
P.S. First post updated. Reuploaded with standart-bass (without echo and slighty faster speed) + replaced bad reply "Our drones are under atack" to better

I request the Day9 scream for "your forces are under attack" and "plaguuuuuuue" for whatever sound effect infesters generate. :D
Theta][Sigma if you intended to mimic the overmind you did indeed overdo it somewhat on the dark voice but also on the highly pitched parts but i guess i have to settle for that ;P
The fact that this exists kind of bothers me, but I guess people can do what they want.
Personally, I love the new voice. I can understand where people were annoyed at first with "Minerallssss" but its fixed now. I think people should learn to except change instead of clinging to the past (*cough* korea)

Ha same here. Nice try though, but the bad quality of the sound and too much of a voice difference in the samples make it too amateur-like. It takes more than just getting handy with an audio editor

The regular english one is too robotic ;/
Theta][Sigma's variant is a standart convertation for Grandmother Voice to bass.
My variant have double voice + some echoes + fixes for some replies. Maybe it's little robotic, but remember Overmind voice from campaign from Zeratul's mission
Sorry for a bump, but i want to say something about the sad state of gaming. Rofl not allowed to mod your game. They should have no right to interfere with what happens on peoples computers. Its their copies lol. Only players negatively affecting other players should get punished, like cheaters, chat spammers. Changing sound files doesn't give you unfair advantage against other players, so blizzard should not be allowed to take game away for sound/portrait mods!!! Remember good times of gaming 15-20 years ago? you could mod games, you could say anything in chats without censorship. That was fun before corporations and their sheeple took control.
***Saying this doesn't mean i intend to do this, this post is only an opinion.

idk if people even remember the custom unit mods from like, 2010 or 2011 where you could do your own unit skins. Honestly... those were sick... some of the best custom unit skins in the game... warchests before warchests were even around Kappa as an edit: I've seen the idea floated around a few times, but seriously, they need to bring back voice packs for units so we can have things like original zealot commands, corsair sounds for phx, dragoons on stalkers etc. i srsly miss how badass toss was in bw compared to sc2. almost forces me to install it every time i think about the original toss voice lines
Although I guess SC2 went free to play since then.
We have the worst of both worlds nowadays. No mods and a lack of stuff to buy too. I’d throw a few quid down at a Brood War sound conversion pack, but it doesn’t exist in an implementable form.
If you’re going to control everything and lock the community out then do a better job at it.

100%
I really don’t think it’s nostalgia either, I’ve played way, way more SC2 and watched way way way more SC2 than BW
BW has amazing sound design and assets, the rest of the game is so good it’s often overlooked. Probably the best of any game I’ve played.
You can close your eyes watching a Brood War stream and still picture the battle in your mind’s eye, which I think attests to its quality in units having distinctive sounds.
SC2’s isn’t bad but I think it’s a bit toned down and muted. Protoss sound less alien/robotic, Terran’s gauss rifles and arclite shock cannons are a bit less OTT and punchy. The Zergling death noise or a Dragoon exploding into goo are great as well
