Unused Audio

This is a sub-page of Duke Nukem Forever.

To do:

Could use some investigation (such as whenever the French lines are unused in the dub and if the lava sound is used in the DLC).
Investigate these directories as they appear to have unused sounds, many of which seem to date back to the 2001 builds.:
- Some of the sub-folders in the a_switch directory.
- Some of the sub-folders in the a_generic directory such as Shades, FireExt, GameInterfaces and Menu.
Some unused audience sounds in a_npcvoice/Audience, likely intended for the scrapped talk show interview. Some of these are used in Damn, It's Late and Press Conference.
The Duketalk line DUKE_Map07c_Line_03 is unused.
Unused announcer lines for the cut chugfest game mode (Annoucer_PisserTeleport_01/Annoucer_CoolerTeleport_01).
The EDF might have more unused audio.
Check for unused music.
The theme that plays during the bumper for Lenoman's interview in Duke Lives only has the first 8 seconds heard, leaving the rest of the song unheard.
- Check if the following are unused.
- MUS_LenomannGrabbag.mp3
- MUS_Holsum.mp3
- MUS_PrepD.mp3
- MUS_Grabbag_Elev.mp3

All of the game's sounds are stored in SoundDir.dat and Sound.dat in the Sounds folder. The game's music can be found in the Music folder.

Voice Lines#

Do note that there aren't any subtitles leftover for much of these voice lines.

Duke Nukem#

To do:
Provide the (closest) equivalent line in English in the "Notes" section.

Surprisingly Duke barely comprises most of the game's unused sounds.

Filename	Transcript	Notes
DUKE_Map11c_WowCanBreathe_01.mp3	Wow I can breathe!	Phew, Duke can breathe again! While he does complain that going into water will ruin his hair, this line is never played.
DUKE_GotMessKill_04.mp3	J'espère que le PEGI n'a pas vu ça. (Rough translation: I hope PEGI didn't see that.)	A random line of Duketalk dubbed into French, with PEGI referencing the rating system of the same name.
DUKE_GotKill_09.mp3	Tu vas crever ! Je vous prie. (Rough translation: You will die! Please.)	Another line of Duketalk dubbed into French.

General Graves#

A pair of placeholder lines for General Graves, referencing something that does not happen in the game. Juding from their filenames and content, the most likely event this was intended for is the level The Duke Cave just before the next level in the turret section against the Mothership.

Filename	Audio	Transcript
Graves_Map02_Line_05.mp3		Duke, I've just been alerted that a large power source came online in your casino, you're not powering up that big gun are ya? You better think things through son and if you're not gonna do that...
Graves_Map02_Line_06.mp3		I hope to God you know what you're doing.

EDF Soldiers#

The Earth Defence Force has much of their voice lines recorded with and without a mask muffling effect. Most of this audio are alternative versions of used voice lines.

Filename	Transcript	Notes
EDF2_Statue_GetUpHere_01.mp3	Come on buddy. Get on up here.	Audio of the EDF soldier at the Duke statue puzzle in The Lady Killer: Part 3 but without the mask filter.

EDF2_Statue_UseYourself_01.mp3	Duke, General Graves is waitin' buddy. Looks like you gotta use yourself to get up. Heh heh, 'use yourself', you see what I did there?
EDF2_Statue_TouchYourself_01.mp3	What, you don't want to touch yourself? Get up here.
EDF2_Statue_GiveSelfAHand_01.mp3	Need to give yourself a hand... ha ha ha.
EDF2_Statue_ServiceHall_03.mp3	Graves is waiting in the lobby. The main route's blocked, but you can use the service hallway over there.

Duke's Computer#

A placeholder line for Duke's Computer.

To do:
Verify if this is used, I swear I've heard this in gameplay footage.

Filename	Audio	Transcript
EpicFail_01.mp3		Epic fail.

Johnny O'Lenoman#

Unused musings from the ever-struggling host of Damn.. It's Late.

Filename	Transcript	Notes
TalkShowHost_02a.mp3	Ah sorry Duke, looks like the aliens picked just now to crawl off their ships.	An alternate, much more irritated rant.
TalkShowHost_02b.mp3	Couple of those bastards standing around pickin' their noses and ordering reactor burgers and this whole place CLEARS OUT like cake just got served at fat camp.
TalkShowHost_02c.mp3	Gotta wonder if they timed it with you coming on the show and all.
TalkShowHost_02d.mp3	(Laughs nervously) Oh ho I get paid anyhow and you're getting some free advertising, so I guess it works out ether way so.
TalkShowHost_02e.mp3	Wanna come back in a few hours after everyone gets PISSED and posts a cell phone pics(sic) with bad titles like the truth is out there.
TalkShowHost_Shutdown_01.mp3	(Exhales disappointingly) Ah sorry Duke... Looks like their shuttin' us down for the night. On slow days all I here is "Johnny! Johnny! Johnny!," but a couple of those aliens come down and suddenly it's all news, all channels. Half the damn crew has left to so what their up to at Duke-Burger. Gotta wonder if they timed it with you coming on the show and all.	The used version of Lenoman's rant in a single file, rather than being separated across three files.

Sounds#

Ego Sounds#

A bunch of sounds related to the game's ego mechanic are found in a_dukemotion/Ego. Most of the sounds appear to be intend for some kind of "ego trip" mechanic, there are also some graphics seemingly intended for this as well.
