Title: The Voice
Post by: KageKeeper on June 17, 2005, 09:59:00 AM
Hi everyone.

Just a simple question really...numerous times, and I mean numerous, as I have been traveling in and around Hlint while holding the tab key I have seen a character name bubble that says "The Voice."

Now, having been around NWN online for awhile I assume that is a GM? My question is why would I see the name and no body? If the GM was vis I would see both, if he is unvis I should not see anything. So I am just curious. :)

It isn't a GM. It has to do with the coding and the voice items. Like an elf has a ear for elvan language item. Thats all I have. A more technical answer will come up shortly ;)

What Etinfall stated.  It is is an invisible "creature" that has to be spawned so that it can listen to the text that is typed by a PC/NPC... It then converts that text in to the language that is being used.

Yeah, it seems no matter where I go or what I do a GM is watching me and listening to what I do.  I guess they don't trust me or something and think I'm gonna do something.   :(

Don't really mind it though because if they wanna watch my boring RP, go ahead.  They'll be asleep watching my boring self in a matter of minutes.   :)

Oh, I dunno. Yesterday Vorkresh was wandering around just outside Hlint near the goblin caves, and a GM dropped a Gelatinous cube right on his head, scared him half to death, being only 4th level.
