Hello everyone!
I've been googling about this for a while but I just can't find anything that helps. This may sound a crazy question, but asking costs nothing.
Everyone remembers the creepy but awesome voice of our favorite AI, the Computer Assisted Biologically Augmented Lifeform right? For a project I'm planning I'd like to create some clips of Cabal saying certain things but... how the hell can you mimick his voice? It sounds mechanical... anyone knows if there is some kind of tool that allow me to create clips sounding like Cabal?
Thanks in advance for any help

Well, you can try to use XCC Mixer to extract the sound effects from Tiberian Sun and Firestorm .dat files (I forget if they're on the hard drive/CDs or DVD/both, so check them all), and use an audio editing program (Windows Sound Recorder? or something better) to splice them together. I'm not sure if you can extract any audio from the VQA videos, though, so ask someone with more experience. I do know that someone already made a Tib Sun sound pack for Renegade with the TS EVA and CABAL, and Reborn might also be doing the same. I'd look for the pack, but I'm not gonna be home until late Saturday, and the internet sucks here.
Anyway, you can find the XCC Utilities at http://xhp.xwis.net/utilities/XCC_Utilities.exe and the required XCC DLL pack at http://xhp.xwis.net/utilities/XCC_DLL_Pack.zip
The DLLs are supposed to go into the same directory where you install the XCC Utilities.
Good luck!

There's 2 Cabal voices. The one from Renegade in the Temple of nod that's malfuncioning from the ion canon, and the TS one.

Ok, after having both TS and FS installed, look through e01vox01.mix and e01vox02.mix (located within C:\Westwood\SUN\expand01.mix), speech01.mix and speech02.mix (located within C:\Westwood\SUN\TIBSUN.mix), and finally wdtvox.mix (located in C:\Westwood\SUN\), and you'll find all the CABAL sound effects, with the exception of those embedded within the video files. XCC Mixer doesn't seem to like to extract .wav files by itself, so you'll have to extract/copy the above .mix files to another folder, and open them through XCC AV Player. You'll be going in blind, though, since the AV Player doesn't list what each sound effect is. You can compare the time lengths against what XCC Mixer says to make a better guess, but if that fails, you'll have to check every one, and that might take a long time. Anyway, when you find one you want, hit the "Extract..." button, and save it as a .wav file.

Was I correct in guessing that you used XCC Mixer and an audio editing program for this?
