Lets get boots talking. BUT FIRST… Do you remember what I said about timing of dialogue and ALT_DELETE and ALT-INSERT? Go read tutorial 13 (JAKE?????)
<P>
Here we go<BR>
Anox gets actors talking by using .scn files.<BR>
PLAYDIALOGUE=[path.scn]<BR>
Ex.<BR>
playdialogue=dialog/stiletto/stiletto_scene58_l3.scn<BR>
<P>
Newscript<BR>
Put character_stiletto on a path<BR>
At 1.0 put a cmd node<BR>
playdialogue=dialog/stiletto/stiletto_scene58_l3.scn<BR>
<P>
Play this and look at her mouth
<P>
Its just that simple.
<P>
If you dont want to know more, skip to the next tutorial.
<P>
a .scn file is a simple text file that point to the .mp3 of dialogue and the .lip file.
<P>
A .scn file should look like this<BR>
??? JAKE?!?!<BR>
???
<P>
Im pretty sure U know what an .mp3 is.<BR>
A .lip file is generated by a program called Magpie.
<P>
A brief explanation of magpie. Magpie will take an actors speech(.wav/.mp3) file and convert that to a list of phonemes. Phonemes being mouth positions. Which there are 9 mouth positions.
<P>
mapgpie will take Boots line, “lets get some breakfast.” And spit out a .lip file (which is .txt readable) that has all the positions needed to make that statement.
<P>
A .lip file must begin with [mouth] NOT [new channel] which magpie does. So edit that in a text editor.
