Hi all,
I'm trying to change the warnings for TT5, ie bell, cow etc into spoken ones. I know that has been done and the data.chk file can be DL from this site, I would like to make a data.chk file in Italian.
I convert from wav to ogg with no problem, is the viftool that is giving me grief. Everytime I enter cmd pronpt I get this error:

C:\POI\Waves>VIFTOOL join 11 PLOPPY FRAM.VIF
'VIFTOOL' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\POI\Waves>VIFTOOL 11 PLOPPY FRAM.VIF
'VIFTOOL' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

As you can see I tried with and without the join command, any idea as to why?

I use WinXp PRo

Have you downloaded viftool? If not try this - http://ghostwheel.de/viftool.zip

If you have, you need to have viftool in the same folder.

Thanks oldboy,
I just realised that and now I get this:

C:\POI\viftool>viftool join data 01 fram.vif
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "viftool.py", line 181, in ?
File "viftool.py", line 139, in join
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): data

Do you know what this mean?

Usage: VIFFILE*
NUM DESC VIFFILE

Thank you very much

Hi duneclifftcooper,
you need to have VifTool in the same directory of your ogg files.
In your case this would be:
c:\tomtomnewvoices

As you can see from my posts, I haven't had much luck either changing voices with VifTool. But I have changed the warnings with the programm that Jim-Bob recommended.

Good luck

This will also alow you to create a navigation voice. put all the .ogg in the same folder then in option 1 on poipatcher select one of the .ogg files and click build voice at the botom.

Have fun!

just to say

I found this i think that it might be easier for everyone

There are 59 seperate voice command files in each voice skin.

The definitive listing is below.

These commands are OGG Vorbis encoded and then compacted into a single CHK files.

Voices come in 2 parts. Each CHK file has corresponding .VIF file.

The *.VIF file contains the description of the voice and the related *.CHK file.

For Example the "null" voice skin I created is made up of two files, one called null.vif and one called data71.chk. The null.vif file contains the following text

null
data71.chk

Creating your own voice skin simply involves the following steps.

1) Download OggDropXPd from here .
This utility allows you to convert .WAV files to .OGG files simply by dragging them onto the box that says "Drop Files Here"

2) Download VIFTOOL from here
This is a command line utility that either expands a .VIF files into it's component .OGG files, or re-combines these .OGG files into a .VIF file.

Now decide what you want to do next. If you want to change one of the existing 59 voice commands follow steps. (3 - 11)

If you want to create your own voice commands from scratch and build your own voice skin, follow step in Idiots Guide part 2.

3) Copy the .VIF the .CHK files that make up the voice you have chosen to modify into a new directory on your PC. DO NOT TRY THIS ON THE SD CARD WHILE IT IS IN THE GO. Copy the VIFTOOLS.zip file into this directory and extract all of the files.

You should have the following files.

library.zip
python23.dll
viftool.exe
w9xpopen.exe
zlib.pyd
_sre.pyd

and for example.

data05.chk
engf.vif

4) Expand the voice using the following command from the command line

viftool split engf.vif

This will give you the following 59 .OGG files.

After.ogg
50.ogg
80.ogg
100.ogg
200.ogg
300.ogg
400.ogg
500.ogg
600.ogg
700.ogg
800.ogg
Meters.ogg
Arrive.ogg
TurnRight.ogg
2ndLeft.ogg
2ndRight.ogg
3rdLeft.ogg
3rdRight.ogg
AhExit.ogg
AhExitLeft.ogg
AhExitRight.ogg
AhFerry.ogg
AhKeepLeft.ogg
AhKeepRight.ogg
AhLefturn.ogg
AhRightTurn.ogg
AhUTurn.ogg
BearLeft.ogg
BearRight.ogg
Charge.ogg
Depart.ogg
KeepLeft.ogg
KeepRight.ogg
LnLeft.ogg
LnRight.ogg
MwEnter.ogg
MwExit.ogg
MwExitLeft.ogg
MwExitRight.ogg
RbBack.ogg
RbCross.ogg
RbExit1.ogg
RbExit2.ogg
RbExit3.ogg
RbExit4.ogg
RbExit5.ogg
RbExit6.ogg
RbLeft.ogg
RbRight.ogg
RoadEnd.ogg
SharpLeft.ogg
SharpRight.ogg
Straight.ogg
TakeFerry.ogg
Then.ogg
TryUTurn.ogg
TurnLeft.ogg
UTurn.ogg
Yards.ogg

4) Select the voice command you want to alter, and delete it. for example "ARRIVE.OGG" is "You have reached your destination"

5) Using any windows based sound recorder (usually found under Acessories, Entertainment) record a WAV file and call it the same name as the file you want to replace, but leave it with a WAV extension. In the above example I record and save "ARRIVE.WAV"

7) Copy OggDropXPd.exe into the directory you are working from. Run OggDropXPd.exe

8) Drap the .WAV file onto the box where it says "Drop Files Here" This will create a new file called "ARRIVE.OGG"

9) Delete the original .VIF and .CHK files from this working directory.

10) Re-compile the new .VIF and .CHK files using the following command.

viftool join 05 "English - Jane (GB)" engf.vif

Copy these two files data05.chk and engf.vif back to your SD card. Job Done.


hope this sorts every one out

forget my last post, i've now downloaded the poi-soundpatcher. just to check if it worked i extracted a voice from one i downloaded, this gave me the oggs but when i do build voice i only get a .chk file and no .vif file, i suppose that if i was just changing one of the commands i could just use the old one, but if i create my own voice from scrach how do i get a correspondig .vif file?
