Prelude
Just like my main guide, this will be python/ffmpeg script dependent, albeit with less steps and effort.

This is not a guide for complete newbies, if you are new to modding then i suggest you learn how to make a simple soundmod first.

Dependency
Info
Python[www.python.org]
Do make sure Add python.exe to PATH is checked, if you're setting it up.
ffmpeg & ffprobe [www.geeksforgeeks.org]
This ones gonna be a little tricky since it doesn't have an official installer, so just pay attention and follow the guide carefully.


Voicemodding Template
Just grab the latest release, it should contain my new porting script.

vocal_template.7z[github.com]
(Just extract it and pick a survivor you want to mod, simple)

Incase you're not up to snuff with each survivor's internal name, its:
Francis | biker
Louis | manager
Zoey | teengirl
Bill | namvet
Nick | gambler
Ellis | mechanic
Rochelle | producer
Coach | coach
Porting




For the main objective of today, i will be porting Nick's voice over to Ellis.







  • To start off, i have merged all of nick's voicebanks into one.



  • I then doomped it into a mechanic voicemod template so that it can be adjusted to ellis's voicebank.



  • I then grabbed the muting script from the utils folder and ran it like so.
    Syntax:
    python mute_vo.py <survivor>



    This should make a blank canvas for ellis's voicebank



    Though you can try Generic Sampling instead, if you are familiar with my voicemodding method.


  • I then grabbed our porting script from the utils folder and ran it accordingly.
    Syntax:
    python porting.py <survivor>



    Once you let it cook, it should produce a new folder in your directory.





    If you couldn't tell already, it has grabbed any parallel voicelines that can be used by ellis's voicebank and moved it into a different folder

    Now all we need to do is move and overwrite everything into our ellis voicebank so we can move on to the next section.


Epilogue
See? wasn't that short?





Just kidding, you still need to fix the voicebank and whatnot







Though im too lazy to actually summarize it, so im just gonna advise you to visit the main guide and see from there.

Just scoot on over to Voice Fixing and you can figure it out down from there.
