darthtyren Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I'm following this tutorial: Lip Syncing the Easy Way I've done all the dialog, voicing, and the list. But when I get down to the command prompt part, I get utterly confused. The tutorial says: You will now need to use some commands to navigate to the directory in which you saved all your files and the makephn.tcl script. The three commands are: dir - lists the contents of the current directory. cd *name of directory* - moves into the *name of directory* cd.. - Moves to the previous directory. For example I made the directory on my desktop and my default start location is C:\Documents and Settings\Tim So I would need to use the command dir cd Desktop cd Voice Overs The dir command is not necessary it just helps to find the names of some folders. You will then need to run the script makephn.tcl that you put in that folder and put list.txt after it. For example: makephn.tcl list.txt would be all you need to type. I don't understand what it's saying about all the different directories - meaning the default start location and the directory known only as - in this example - the directory on my desktop.

Fastmaniac Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 The command prompt is like a command version of the explorer. If you go to "start -> Run" you can type: cmd and you get the command prompt. It's showing you the directory where you are at the moment. Something like when you open the explorer and it shows the D:\ Drive. The Command prompt should be saying something like: C:\Documents and Settings\*YOUR USERNAME*> where *YOUR USERNAME* is replaced by (oh wonder) your username. Now you can navigate with the above commands cd/cd.. (cd means "change directory") To get to your desktop you have to type: cd Desktop <-- press Enter Now your command line says: C:\Documents and Settings\*YOUR USERNAME*\Desktop> and you can work with that... (changing directory again (cd), listing all the files (dir), executing an executable (filename), or in this case running a script (makephn.tcl list.txt)) Hope that helps a bit...

darthtyren Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 So my working directory would be C:\Users\Brewer Kids\My Documents\KotOR-TSL mods\Spoken dialogue That's where all my files are. So after that would I just tell it to run the makephn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastmaniac Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 yes, you type: makephn.tcl list.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimBob12 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 You will need a copy of makephn in that folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthtyren Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 OK, so I do that, but a window pops up and says "Error in startup script". Then I open up and I see 7/10 .phn files have been made. EDIT Never mind. Apparently there is no such things as pauses with dashes in makephn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimBob12 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 It means that either your 7th or 8th line has punctuation in its text file of dialogue that it can't handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthtyren Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 I know, and I have already realized my mistake. I am about to test this out. OK, so it works, I just think I might need a new microphone if I'm going to be a Voice Actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimBob12 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Good to know it works and yes a good mic is essential to voice acting. (one of the reasons i don't do it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
