One of the most important things in making a SEIV race (IMHO) is providing a good speechfile. It ads a lot to the character of a race. Sadly most of the races in the game, even with the modpack installed use the same speechfiles. For my own copy of SEIV I replaced most of the speechfiles with files I found on the web.

I have a collection of approximately 50 different speechfiles on my system. Is anyone interested in those? I could post them but I'll have to write a readme file with all the credits for the dozens of authors first, which is a lot of work, so I'd like to know if anyone will use it first.

henk brouwer,

I am very interested in your speech file mod of SEIV. I also feel it is a very important part of SEIV flavor and enjoyment.

Ok, I'm going to try and find out who did all those speechfiles so I can write a proper credits file. :-)

Here is an excel workbook I made to help make AI_Speech files, I think its finished (for now at least). Its similar to those Mad Libs form the 80's.

Here's Version 1.00 of the 'speechpack' it contains 50 different speechfiles.

I DID NOT CREATE THESE FILES. All praise should go to the authors, a list of the authors ( and additional information) can be found in the archive in readme_speechfiles.txt

Contact me (meelhenk@hotmail.com) if one of your files is in this archive and you want it removed and I'll remove it from this archive asap.

I have tried to make a complete listing of the speechfiles with their authors, but it is very possible that there are unintentional) errors or omisions in this list, since many of the files were found in multiple shipsets or without good documentation. please report any errors to the email provided above

how to use:

Rename the speechfile you want to use to Racename_AI_speech.txt and place it in the racedirectory of the race that should use it. I tried to give a description of each racefile (in the readme ) which should make it easier to match races with suitable speechfiles.
