INTRODUCTION
par-a-gon
n.
1. A model or pattern of excellence or perfection of a kind; a peerless example.
He is a warrior and a poet, striving always to reach the pinnacle of perfection. Though he has been victorious in many DeathMatch tournaments, he still is not satisfied. The paragon will refuse to surrender to death until he has met his goal...
This VP was made by recording my voice onto an SP-404 sampling drum machine/groove box and further edited with the onboard effects processor to make it sound like a mutant or alien being. GoldWave 5 was used for boosting the volume and resampling into a lower resolution (the SP-404 can only import and export samples in 16-bit 44.1KHz .wav or .aif format). This is a complete VP with samples for everything. The sounds are in 8-bit mono 22KHz PCM format.

CREDITS
Thanks go out to Paul Catalano for making the Voice Packager program, to LORD KROM for sorting out the whole VP implementation issue for '2K4 and FBMachine for providing the tip on raising the volume in the voice pack Default Properties. Thank you Rainecloud for "The Definitive Voicepack Tutorial For UNREALED 2.0. (Revised Version)", Areala and [ZDB]Stoerenfried for their UT voice pack tweaking guide (both guides found here) and Fraggin_Phun for the tutorial on how to make VPs for UT2003. I find UnrealEd to be daunting and these tutorials made it very simple to make the voice pack. Additional grattitude goes go to Ron "JaFO" Dautzenberg for his UT bot managing utilities, which are helpful for playtesting voice packs. I'd also like to thank the folks at GoldWave for making some awesome sound editing software.
