Cool idea but not very helpful if you're playing Warcraft III while waiting for claude code to be done.
If we get one based on warcraft 2 you can then play warcraft 3 safely.

#162I love this idea, but I really wish it were Warcraft II voices.
The warcraft 2 demo had Easter eggs. One voice sample was "in the retail version I'm much funnier".

Agreed. Now I'm still waiting for someone to succeed at a clean-room recreation of Majel Barrett's voice, so we can finally have computers sound like they always should have. We could've been there a decade ago, but the high-quality audio samples, made officially and specifically with possibility of this use in mind, got trapped somewhere between the estate, producers, and a commercial interest that called dibs, and…
I would like WOPR's voice from Wargames.
Quoting from https://web.archive.org/web/20181118114804/http://imsai.net/...
“Director John Badham states in the commentary that the actor voicing the raw content that was later modified for the computerized effect was John Wood (the Falken character), reading the script word-for-word in reverse order in order to portray a "flat quality" with limited inflection. That raw audio was then edited and re-assembled after being run through audio processing equipment to achieve the desired effect.”

Me too! PR created https://github.com/tonyyont/peon-ping/pull/38
Fantastic, I cloned your repo so long (https://github.com/sebbeth/peon-ping.git - the wc2_peasant branch) and I'm now online with WC2 sounds.

#166I remember making custom Warcraft II levels, and you could change the construction time for buildings. If you picked a construction time of zero, the building would be built very quickly, but be damaged. There's something hilarious about asking a peasant to build a farm, then seeing a burning farm and hearing the "Job's Done!"

I went to the website, and I'm just scared how overengineered it all seems to be.
Uh, are you sure you did? I mean it's just using the hooks API of Claude code to play a sound via the terminal itself? Heck, they even outlined it in the readme > peon.sh is a Claude Code hook registered for SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, Stop, and Notification events. On each event it maps to a sound category, picks a random voice line (avoiding repeats), plays it via afplay (macOS) or PowerShell MediaPlayer (WSL2)…
Yes; it could be a README, a folder with subfolders of sounds, 1 or 2 files with functions totalling less than 200 loc for unix, maybe 700 total to have windows support and some extra features.
I get how they got here ; its how claude and codex approach projects, but what does the rest achieve? Your maintenance rituals shouldn't exceed your usecase at this scale.

#168I don't see any mention of having to own warcraft 3 to use its assets...
This is as much of a copyright violation as the LLM training process.
Did anyone vote an exemption from copyright if it's for "AI" use?

#169This is cool. I was tempted to try it until I saw the curl | bash pipe, then no. This workflow is getting really old. I guess that I also don't want to pollute old good memories by associating them with work/Claude
> I was tempted to try it until I saw the curl | bash pipe, then no
I don't quite get that argument. It's the same as the old download installer from random website, double click to run that people have been doing for decades. It only skips the download step. And it's arguably better since at least you can review the contents. When building a Go program it will also happily download stuff from github but I've seen way less complaints about that. And to be fair it's also been an infection vector, from people installing things from shady places (or reputable places but with ill-intent like installing unwanted browser toolbars, DRM rootkits ...), but it's nothing new. Same advice applies, know what you're doing, use reputable sources.
What's a better alternative ?
