Nuke operatives voice masks.

"Now go to the forums and cry like a little bitch you are."

It'd be hell of a lot of fun if nuke operatives masks could have some of the voice lines of cloakers from payday 2 as they proceed to slice the life out of you with energy sword.

"Whats left if you beat the shit out of a piece of shit?"

I'm suggesting to add a few most fitting voice lines from cloakers in payday 2 to nukie masks.

"We gotta do this more often."

Imagine how everyone will shite themselves if they hear this voice as nukies go full loud and proud.

"Some times wishes do come true."

"Stop hitting your self, stop hitting your self!" 

PS: I have no idea how to resize videos

Please no.

We have enough artwork ripped from other places as it is.

I'm sorry for being harsh, but there's a difference between a subtle reference that gives you a giggle and a blatant copypaste.

Are you seriously upset over the sole fact that it's not something that was created originally? Thats like saying xenos should be removed because they are a blatant copypaste from movies and games about xenos. Space Station it self is a collection of references and ideas from other movies and games and thats the part of what makes the space station so great. You put on engineering hardsuit - you remember Dead Space! You see Ripley you remember movie Alien. Changeling on station - The thing. Security stunstick - Half-Life 2. And so on and on.

References are not copy paste.

You're literally advocating for taking copyrighted assets and inserting them into the game, which is a big no-no.

PayDay also has legitimately nothing to do with a science fiction setting, which is where SS13 draws 99% of its references from.

Alright, then space station is full of copy-pastes. And the only reason Space Station draws the most from sci-fi is only because Space Station it self is set in sci-fi world so obviously whats from sci-fi is more likely to fit in sci-fi, would some of the picked cloaker phrases fit nukies? Yes! And if it's copyrighted assets, so what? Space Station is a non-commercial game, unless i missed something?

Besides it doesn't have to be exclusively something from payday, just something that would generally fit the mood of nuke operatives.

Actually since we have a Patreon and pull a respectable playerbase, and because BYOND features ads on the loading screen, we can get in major trouble for using copyrighted assets.

Due to BYOND ads and Patreon, Paradise is considered a taxable and commercial enterprise in most legal jurisdictions. We're also open source which means we would be illegally distributing copyright materials and effectively committing acts of digital piracy.

So no, not "so what". It's "let's damn well make sure we only use assets that have licensing to allow us to do so".

Then it's more understandable, the general idea of voices for nukies is still there. HECU soldiers from half-life 1 have some fitting voices for nukies. Other servers commonly use scientist scream from half-life 1, they seem fine.

IIRC that sound is public domain. Quite a lot are, but you need to be absolutely sure they're licensed for free use to avoid getting in trouble.

Doubtful we would, but it's always best to err on the side of caution - people have been taken to court for illegal use of a garbage Garry's Script mod (clockwork).

I quite like the idea behind the voice mask, mind any copyright material. It would be funny to have security and nuke ops yell at each other with their masks. Not to mention a quick way to tell people to get out of the way/get down. Just would have to find somewhere else to get the voices from.
