Melnorme PC Dialogue Restoration/Alternate Voice Mod (Addon) for MegaMod ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Version 1.3MMA By Soul Reaver meet_soul_reaver@hotmail.com Introduction ------------ Unfortunately, the Melnorme alien from Starcontrol II had a number of lines in the PC version that were never voiced in the 3DO version, and thus are omitted from 'The Ur-Quan Masters' as well. Some of these lines are actually significant to the gameplay, so their omission bothered me a lot. I attempted to imitate and recreate the Melnorme's voice (in a similar way to what I did for the missing Mycon dialogue) but I was unsuccessful. However, I never really liked the Melnorme voice anyway - I felt it was too flat and unemotional, and lacked comic timing - so I decided to re-record all of his lines, including the ones missing from the 3DO version. I'm not a professional voice actor or a professional sound editor, but I think the end result is still an improvement. The goals of this mod were (in order of importance): 1. Restore plot/game-critical information from the PC version (eg, the MetaChron) 2. Ensure dialogue is consistent with in-game lore 3. Keep as many jokes in as possible 4. Restore PC dialogue if it is different from 3DO dialogue Installation ------------ IMPORTANT: - This version of the addon should only be used with The Ur-Quan Masters Megamod (available here http://uqm-mods.sourceforge.net/Releases). It will NOT work with The Ur-Quan Masters/The Ur-Quan Masters HD/The Ur-Quan Masters HD Remix! - If you selected to install Alternate Melnorme Voice + Fix during the installation of the MegaMod, you'll already have this file installed and don't need to install it again. To install, just copy MelnormeVoiceFixMMAddon.uqm file into the 'content/addons/' folder in the install directory for The Ur-Quan Masters Megamod. It will take effect automatically when you next start the game. Feedback, bug reports --------------------- If you find any issues with the new dialogue (eg, mistimed text or other problems), please contact me at meet_soul_reaver@hotmail.com with as much detail as possible of the problem and when it occurs. I'll try to fix the issue if possible. If you just want to say thanks, I welcome those emails as well!
