New / modified Addon: Dorfspeak !!
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 11:40 pm
Greetings All !
So, I was hanging around the Destro war-camp one day....and Skuttles was there, hollering everything in an Orc-ish / roleplaying accent....and I thought to myself: Why should Destro have all the fun?
And so, I downloaded the mod known as "The Orcanizer" and proceeded to convert it to become.... Dorfspeak!
Yes, now you can have what you type in "say" automatically converted on-the-fly to your typical WAR-ish (Scottish?) / stereotypical Dwarven accent!
But wait! There's more: I noticed (in "The Orcanizer") that the Greenskins had cutesy little nick-names for the various races. Dwarves don't have any such thing. (Well, they've got one: humans = "manlings".) So I decided, instead, to add some "Dwarven Interjections"... that automatically have a chance to replace interjections that we all tend to say, such as "oh, ack, aha, bravo, geez", that sort of thing. There are 25 of these interjections (but I'd love to add more!).
By default, there's a 99% chance that an "interjection-swap" will take place, but you can easily modify this chance using a text editor.
The Addon is available for download here:
http://files.krithappens.com/Dorfspeak.zip
Of course, it only works for Dwarves, but, as with "The Orcanizer", you can choose "hardcore mode" and force your Elf to use the mod, if you're that much of a weirdo. <grin!>
As with most such Addons, when you unzip the .zip file, it will contain a folder. Just shove this folder into your "WAR/Interface/AddOns" directory. Then fire up the game and use the Interface controls inside of it to load the AddOn.
Once installed, your command options (in /say) are:
/dorf on
/dorf off
/dorf hc -- for harcore mode
I'd like to give a "huge thanks" to the author of "The Orcanizer", Icona / Tempest ([email protected]), for providing such an inspiring, funny little Addon!
Thanks!
