1: NOT all soundsets are accessible. a few popular animal sounds are: big cat and wolf for both male and female. (badgers, chickens, cows left out).
2: the female halfling that ended up as a male set was tracked down and changed.
3: Bad Strref soundsets for male/female -- these are BLANK soundsets, for when you want an utterly silent, or mute character.
4: Updates: when i update my soundset.2da, i'll post it here. so any new npc/animal sounds that come out in the next (last? :( ) patch will be there.
5: Divided by Gender: one 2da for everybody. men get male sets, women get female sets. animals/monsters are distributed to everybody, where possible.
i have seen soundsets that give all voices to both genders, but i think that is a bit of overkill. however, i do see the need for cross-gender voicesets. i have plans to do a *selection* of cross-gender sets -- monsters (ogres, minotaurs), and certain borderline voices that might pass as the opposite gender. (mostly male to female, since the female sets are clogged with a lot of whimpy, giggly, dippy soundsets and have about one and two-thirds tough/nasty sounding women. j'nah and katrina sound nasty enough... until they laugh. GAH!)
anyway, put this in your portfolios and look for updates!
