[TUTORIAL] Making a new voice pack step by step

[DanSteph]

4-Publishing your work


ADD A TEXT TO YOUR PACK
A text with install instructions, copyright and/or at least your email is always cool when you download something.
So write a small text file with notepad containing all infos you want to include and put this file in your voice folder.
common name for such files are "README.TXT"

About install instructions if you use my method below ("Zip your pack") wich is the simpler the proper instruction
for the user are as follow:

INSTALL:
-------------
1-Open the zip file and unzip it in the folder "FsPassengers/sound/crewpack" pay attention to have the box "use folder name" checked.
2-You should now have a folder "NNNN" (your folder name) in the directory "FsPassengers/sound/Crewpack"
3-Launch Fs2004 navigate to "FsPassengers Setup" "crew And GPWS setup" and select my voice pack "NNNNN"


NAME YOUR VOICE FOLDER WITH PROPER NAME
Rename your voice folder with an explicit name so user that will select it in FsP know
what this pack is about.

example:

NOT: "my cool pack" "PTR45678"
BUT: "russian copilot" "complete italian pack" "Spanish hostess"

ZIP YOUR PACK

Taken you have winzip installed on your computer browse to the Crewpack folder
RIGHT click on your sound folder and select "winzip"->"Add to nnnnnn.zip" were "nnnnn"
stand for your folder's name.

see image below:

You will get a zip archive with the right folder name ("Euro Copilot.zip" in the example shown on image)
ready to be unziped in the folder "crewpack"

UPLOAD YOUR WORK

Of course you can always upload your work to you website for what it matter but to get a maximum visibility
from FsP users you may consider uploading it to the "Voice Pack" section of the "more download" page
available here, people will look here for more Voice Pack.

Here the "Voice Pack" section : http://www.fspassengers.com/?action=down...Voice+pack
And here the upload page were you can upload your work : http://www.fspassengers.com/?action=download&cat=upload

If the page reject your pack it's obviously because its size more than 4mo and this would mean probably that you didn't
convert your sound to the proper format, see again "3-Filter the voice with a radio effect and convert them to proper format "
above. Anyway if all formats are okay mail me so I can approve pack that weight more than 4mo.


If you have any problems or want more indication on a step write a post in this "customize" forum.

Good luck !
