making vocal dialogs ?

[Greg]

Hi,

I project to begin a little adventure game with AGS and I wonder if it's possible to make the characters talking (with sound) in place of display text.
I didn't see any information about it, maybe I didn't look for enough.

thanks for answer me, and please excuse my poor english.

Look up Voice Speech (in the 'Music and Sound' section of the manual).

EDIT:
To have sound only, use
SetVoiceMode (2);

I wouldn't recommend this for default, though, for a couple of reasons (file size, and some people not having speakers, for example).

Plus, seeing that you said excuse you for your poor english, I don't think that having JUST voice is right as it sounds like it might just be a second language to you. Plus, allowing text makes it so you can read something if the volume is too low or the voiceactor didn't pronounce the words properly.

Thanks,
You're both right, but I don't want to completly remove text, and I agree with you when you say that it's essential (in particular for languages reasons), but I want to give to the player the possibility to display or not and to play sounds or not, like in games like Full Throttle or Sam & Max (like they are in my memories ).

That's possible ?

[EDIT]
Oups I didn't look at the manual in the section you indicate me before asking my question, I will do it right now

[EDIT AGAIN]
OKaaaay ... I got my answer, it seems to be possible because it is recommended to let the player choose by himself if he wants to ear speech or not.

Thanks
