    I can confirm. I have experienced the same "problem" in my last playthrough.

    Its the miners screaming. Will see if there are a more 'male' voice available for the screams.
  • CuvCuv Member, Developer Posts: 2,535
    @Sylvus_Moonbow LOL, yeah... she is a screamer too. I was just playing through the mines and also noticed the screams are a bit female sounding... they are supposed to be the miners. Will see if anything can be done.

    I noticed this too when I played through it yesterday, but didn't really think much of it.
    It does admittedly seem a bit odd though, since none of the miners are female, and as far as I can remember there weren't always even any miners nearby when the sound played.

    This problem sounds hilarious when posted in the matter-of-fact tone of a bug report.
  • CuvCuv Member, Developer Posts: 2,535
    Upon further investigation... the script that plays that sound if on the miners when the PC is in sight. So its a sight range of 30'. RUNENEMY.bcs

    I've tracked down the voice used ... its EDWIN43.wav. Not really much to do about this. We are just going to have to deal with his silly voice as this is used on all male innocents :) Perhaps in the future some new sounds can be made... or a mod could make it less annoying.

    It couldn't be switched to the "AHHH, heellp!!" sound all the miners on the previous floor use? Or whatever sounds the miners in Nashkel mines use? And does EDWIN43.wav imply that's actually a noise Edwin makes?
  • JalilyJalily Member Posts: 4,681
    Well, it's Edwin's voice actor...

    And EDWIN43 is indeed "AHHH, heellp!" and definitely sounds male. @Cuv, I don't think this is the clip the OP is hearing.
  • CuvCuv Member, Developer Posts: 2,535
    @Jalily Then it has to be Neera... I cannot find any other sounds in there that could be it. If Neera is screaming, then its a feature:)
  • DarkDoggDarkDogg Member Posts: 598
    No. It's not Neera's sound 100% sure.
    It's similar to a female commoner sound when you hit one. But can't find it.
  • CuvCuv Member, Developer Posts: 2,535
    I just ran through there again and I only hear the edwin scream, "get me out of this hell hole", "help us", and random male guards. This has to be something with a party member... but I cant find it.

    I heard the female scream too, with and without Neera in my party. The only female in that area is a Cook (FCOOK2.CRE). Can she be responsible?

    Edit: Actually the enemy mage Hareishan (HAREIS.CRE) is female too.

    yep.... it's the cook. Will check her script.. she uses a verbal constant and shouldnt yelp unless the action is within line of sight

    Same script as above. The sound has a 1 in 10 chance to play once hostility begins: FCHIL05.wav. See([ENEMY]) (through walls apparently), range 30

    Guess she keeps burning herself on the cooker?

    Ah yes, that is the cook voice. Thanks @DarkDogg! will see if the script can be adjusted without breaking anything else.
  • TogglebottomTogglebottom Member Posts: 17
    Nice! I wondered if it was the cook. For the record I was hearing it all the way over by the cells. Also heard twice while out of combat with no enemies in sight.

    The screams you hear are probably those of the Commoners duplicated by this bug:

    @Cuv
    Any news about the female scream? I read the change logs, but I cannot see if this has been "fixed" or not.

    The cook's script is still playing the FCHIL05 sound when she sees anyone with the allegiance of ENEMY. It isn't her fault she is set to have "runenemy" as her script, though.

    Noticed the same scream without Neera in party.
