INTRODUCTION
Al Matthews plays the role of Sgt. Apone of the US Colonial Marine Corps in the movie Aliens. Now this cigar-chompin', smack-talkin', gun-slingin' tough guy is gonna show you how it's done in the Tournament! This is a voice pack with sounds for almost everything. The default Merc Male voice is used in the areas in which this voice pack does not cover. Some of the voice commands had to created by splicing together samples, so the voice may sound kind of strange. The sounds are 8-bit, 22KHz mono .WAV files. I used the TruSurroundXT speaker output option on my DVD player program when I recorded the samples and it provided a clear, crisp recording quality. I've also included some Aliens vs. Predator related game add-ons in the Links section.
Samples:
[1], [2].

Version History:
v2.0, 09-APR-2004 * Updated the voice pack for UT2004.
* Rearranged some sounds.
* Removed unused sounds to decrease the file size.
* Removed some taunts I didn't like. Hindsight is 20/20, right? :-P


v1.0a, 03-APR-2003 * This is the original release for UT2003.

CREDITS
Thanks go out to LORD KROM for sorting out the whole VP implementation issue for '2K4 and FBMachine for providing the tip on raising the volume in the voice pack Default Properties. Thank you
Rainecloud for "The Definitive Voicepack Tutorial For UNREALED 2.0. (Revised Version)", Areala and [ZDB]Stoerenfried for their UT voice pack tweaking guide (both guides found here) and Fraggin_Phun for the tutorial on how to make VPs for UT2003. I find UnrealEd to be daunting and these tutorials made it very simple to make the voice pack. Additional grattitude goes go to Ron "JaFO" Dautzenberg for his UT bot managing utilities, a big help with making "push content" files for my voice packs, to jlove, Kissamies, MarciKun and anyone else who playtested my VP and gave feedback. I'd also like to thank the folks at GoldWave and CyberLink for making some awesome sound editing and DVD player software.
