You might know that there is a game called Team Fortress 2. You might even know that it has extremely hilarious voice acting. It follows that it'd make for a fun soundset pack for BG2.

Of course, a number of BG2 soundset slots don't have a valid TF2 equivalent (E.G. forest/dungeon/... ones), but IMHO they can be used to showcase the more hilarious voice overs.

If you'd like to contribute and have TF2, download gcfscape, open C:\program files\steam\steamapps\tf2 content.gcf with that and navigate to tf/sound/vo/{taunts} to access the available voicework.

Valve is usually pretty cool with fan work like this, so getting an OK for redistribution of the work shouldn't be a daunting task.

Following topics will be about mapping tf2 sounds to bg2 slots. Format of a single line:

xxxxxxxa - Battle Cry - soldier_taunt07 - If God had wanted you to live, he would not have created ME!
BG2 file name - bg2 sound description - tf2 file name - tf2 spoken line

Since not all slots can be mapped to meaningful sounds (E.G. forest/dungeon/...), I am leaving those open for your input - just choose the most awesome Soldier voice clips and the most popular will be associated to the empty slots.

It goes without saying that any further input on any other association I've posted is more than welcome.

Quick demo of the Soldier voice.

I have never played TF2, but that is amusing.

Sorry if I'm missing something, but I'm not quite clear on what you're asking. Do you have the sound files and you're just looking for somebody to fit them to the appropriate slots? If so, shoot me a PM with a link to the sound files and I'd be happy to slap some code around it. But you could do that yourself, unless you just don't have the time, which I'd well believe. Can't extract the files myself because I don't have the game. If you're asking somebody to go get the permissions, though... well, sorry, but I'm easily distracted, and not really good with followng up on things. Such is the story of my life, I'm afraid.

[the bigg]

I'm asking other people who do have TF2 suggestions on the sounds to use - if you don't have the game (or aren't familiar with it), you can simply hit the download link for a different soundset once I finish it.

Regarding permission, I (literally) know a guy who knows a guy.

I'm a big fan of TF2, and I have to say that this is pretty awesome. I didn't know that there were so many voice files for the characters in TF2, otherwise I might have thought about doing this!

[Daulmakan]

Looking forward to this.

[the bigg]

Eh, I'm a procrastinator and am doing a soundset per BG2 game started, so far I have made the Soldier from TF2 and Alyx from HL2. I won't put them up publicly until I ask and get an official permission (I'm finding it hard to believe that Valve would have a problem with that, but..); either way, they are available on request.
