As I know, voice announcements widget uses standard windows speech simulator, so zk have no deal with setting it up.

Maybe he's talking about the Quake sounds widget.

Ivica has a thing for enabling it between releases, so anyone who played a test version will likely be infected.

Widgets don't disable themselves simply because new mod version has them disabled. They have a memory.

I was talking about the callouts for things like " unit lost " " Production complete" " energy stalling "

Yes, I want to use UI sounds from something like one of the C&C titles instead, how would I go about doing that ?

I have the .wavs ready to replace the sounds it currently uses.

I found out that the widget uses a directory like " unitComplete

{file

"LuaUI/sounds/voices/productionc_arm_1.wav"} " but this path doesn't exist anywhere I can find, like it's hidden, or packed away somewhere.

You can create this folder inside your local Spring home directory and it'll work.

I used to play desert maps in zk, spamming rav and domi to Klepacki's Rise of the Harkonnen. :P
