If Epic does a re-release of Ut2004, you should try and get them to include festival. It works as a binary really well, and It would be nice to say to people text to speech works out of the box...<BR>

I recently install festival and speechd to my PC and changed my ut2004.ini to
point to /dev/speech.
All works great - no more missed messages.
However, today I forgot to start speechd (haven't yet created an rc script for
it). UT2004 when it was started would just hang after is shows the normal
warning about ALC_...
Several kill and re-runs - no improvement, a reboot later and still failure.
Beginning to pull my hair out. No warnings, errors or any message
whatsoever. What had I done. A ctrl-c and ut reports a ctrl-c pressed
before main loop executed!!!!
At the point of giving up and not playing I remembered I hadn't started
speechd. It then all worked but not before I had messed with my sound
settings and stopped my VOIP from working! Ahhhhhhhh!
Ryan, it would be nice to have an error or warning and possibly switch it off
if the device specified does not exist.
Sorry for my tail of woos. I won't forget it again.
Andrew
