I took a quick capture of this setup. We have a scrolling LED sign in the office, and it rattles off commits to our Unity asset server (among other stats):
+1 coolness
Also +1 geekiness.
How did you tie into that? The vocalization is probably really handy!
Matthew loves his LED sign. 
All of the modules for the sign are simple PHP scripts. The sign script itself keeps track of the latest asset server version for a project, and then asks the PHP script if there’s anything newer.
The query is just:
It may be possible to set something up in a “push” fashion, using triggers or whatever, but this is simple and works 
Its very cool Matthew and very sensible for medium large and massive studios. Good stuff man.

Flashbang Studios rocks… we definitely need an LED text scroller in the UT office, with a computerized voice of course, linked up to the wishlist thread
computerized voice booms through the office speakers
“Unity sucks, I wish there was a check box for creating super cool AI for my enemies”
an exasperated nicholas mutters under his breath
“yeah, yeah, I’m on it… damn, we just released 2.0, can’t I catch a break?”
In addition to website stats and things, we do have a website where you can type in a message to be displayed/spoken. For our Halloween party we had a live webcam which was pretty crazy with the sign going. It produced some interesting one-way interactions with the Internet viewers and the party…
We use the cheapest sign from here, btw: http://www.asayo.com/list/led-signs.htm
Yeah, even I fount it once when googling for something… :roll:
Anyway, +many points for coolness.
Ha, I wonder what. Connecting the unfiltered Internet to something that display in your office has proven to be very random at times. Or filthy. Yay Internet!
The title of the webpage has “splume” in it (I guess leftover from copy-paste), so googling for Splume does show it in the results…
Hah, nice work…
Imagine a built in voice app in unity that could read Debug log type stuff out loud, so you could click on the screen and instead of printing a location you could somehow trigger an audio signal that said something like “co-ordinates are 1000, 254,22,Sir! Standing by to launch missile!”. you know what I mean? a way to mix recorded dialouge in with realtime information…just to add to the experience.
Stuffed if I know how you’d do it though.

This setup is just calling a command line program that speaks whatever you pass it. It’s actually a Windows box, but I’m sure there’s something similar in OSX. And you can call command-line stuff from within Unity’s scripting environment…
You have far too much time on your hands.
Honestly just kidding, that is a slick idea.

Yeah, say text/filename in Terminal will do it in OS X.
Also, again, freaking awesome.
Yeah, say text/filename in Terminal will do it in OS X.
Oh thats awesome. I will have to look at that import.System type stuff and see whats possible. Hopefully its quite easy to access terminal from within unity…
Thanks for that.

Hey, that checkbox AI script sounded good, is that something that is in development?
That is so cool on so many levels!
Why is it not a womans voice im sure i would pay more attention to that
