just copy an existing voicepack's folder and then start replacing sound (.ogg) files. Audacity can be used to record/modify/export those. Ignore the wav files as you won't need them beginning with 0.9.12.

Ok, thank you!I hope that you will hear italian voices on hedgewars soon

I'm making an aussie voicepack
how good does the mic quality need to be do you think? I've managed to get rid of the background noise but the sound, though pretty good, isn't as perfect as the prebuilt voicepacks, is that going to be an issue?

I'll post a preview soon

Well, it definitely suck with integrated mic...I've tried and it sound awful...Whish you best of luck.

here's what I've managed to record so far, tell us what you think of the sound quality.

Yes, Sire. I think the sound quality is pretty good BUT some other things there are that I do not like:
1)It's kind of too quiet.
2)Dunno how an actually aussie sounds, so I can't adjudge good if the accent quality hits the spot so to say.
All in all - I like it.

Half my problem at the moment is finding somewhere quiet to record >.<

Also, I had thought they were actually a little too loud when in the game, perhaps the phrases are too quick so they're hard to understand, which would seem similar to being to quiet?

No, no. I can understand all phrases. I'll try them in the game to see how it's there.
