To switch to another voice type, type

in the chat, where (type) is the wanted voice type, or use the "Your voice" slider in the voice settings.

A simple macro button for requesting help is created by typing
/macro Help /voice help
in the chat, and placing the text button that appears on your mouse pointer on the hot-key bar.

To script a voice command with other chat commands, add the commands in your script. Note that each voice already comes with a text file with output to the chat (for everybody to see) when the voice is played.

The voice files, and their corresponding text files, can be found in this folder: \Anarchy Online\cd_image\sound\sfx\player

When given a /voice command, the client checks for an appropriate text file with a corresponding .wav file to play. The first file found that is appropriate gets played, and the check order is (if you type "/voice myloot")

Character specific file (e.g. "charname_myloot_01.txt" and "charname_myloot_01.wav")

Style specific file (e.g. "solitus_male_cool_myloot_01.txt" and "solitus_male_cool_myloot_01.wav")

Breed & sex specific file (e.g. "solitus_male_myloot_01.txt" and "solitus_male_myloot_01.wav")

Sex specific file (e.g. "male_myloot_01.txt" and "male_myloot_01.wav")

Basic file (e.g. "myloot_01.txt" and "myloot_01.wav")

Note that this means if you want to play a less specific version of an existing file, you need to remove the more specific one. E.g. if you want to play your own "help_01.wav" file no matter who shouts for help, you need to have a file named "help_01.txt" in the folder, and remove all other files ending with "help_01.txt". If you want your "help_01.wav" file played only for male characters (but for all male characters) you need to remove all files ending with "male_style_help_01.txt" (and any character specific "_help_01.txt" files).
