Not normally, but you can take advantage of the mod's voice manipulation mechanic to set the volume to 0 on a specific character.

You will need some modding experience, but all you need to do is give the stats "antr_playerVoice_chatVolume" and "antr_playerVoice_ouchVolume" an effectiveMultiplier of 0.


Something like this in the config or as a custom item parameter of one of your worn items will do the trick:

"statusEffects" : [
{ "stat" : "antr_playerVoice_chatVolume", "effectiveMultiplier" : 0}},
{ "stat" : "antr_playerVoice_ouchVolume", "effectiveMultiplier" : 0}}
]

is there a way to disable this for a specific character?

@Cap'n Rattlebones and @Valkyronix
Not sure how I managed to forget to respond to both of you, but Valkyronix's idea is on my to do list, in the form of a list of prefab sounds, as fully manual selection is a bit of a liability.

@Nukii
I will need your game log of a session where the crash/error happens to be able to fix anything.

You can find it by going into your game files, entering the storage folder and opening a text file named starbound.log .
If you see multiple files with that exact same name, then press the button View at the top of the window and tick the File name extensions option to show the full file names.

Then, copy the file's contents into a file sharing site, like pastebin and post a link to it here.

Some extra info on the nature of the issue will be helpful, like at what screen a crash happens, what the symptoms of a script error are, etc.

crashes when I try to use it with frackin universe mod

I second Valkyronix's idea (if it's possible)

Would love for this to have the ability to select the voice you want manually. Would you be so kind as to add that?

I'll need your game log to tell you what's wrong, use a code sharing website like pastebin.com as steam's word limit is too small.

I try to design my mods in a way that makes them low maintenance and minimizes game breaking compatibility issues, so without a log showing the issue I can't even begin figuring out what's broken.

Same goes with FU, I have stopped testing my mods with FU for several years now, but due to how I design my mods I expect them to atleast partially work, even if the balance is out of tune and mechanics/content between the 2 mods aren't syncing properly.

Crashes [FU]. Do not install if you wish to play [FU]

I really hope to see this get finished up, this is such an awesome concept.

I've rewritten a decent chunk of this mod introducing a fiew improvements and a couple of new features.

Unfortunately I'm still not sure how to fix some of the mod's core issues, like emotes having a cooldown between consecutive uses of the same emote.

Hopefully I didn't break anything in the process, a lot of things have changed since 1.0.1, so there may be some issues with any mods that tinkered with this mod's code.

If you're sure that you installed the right dependency (it's looking for the mod listed in this workshop page's required items list) then I can only think of 2 reasons.


If you installed this mod locally (copied the pak file into the mods folder) and left my utility library as a workshop subscription, then it won't work because for some reason locally installed mods can't see workshop installed mods and cause dependency & priority issues.

Alternatively, Steam may have had a stroke and didn't install the mods properly, you can try unsubbing and resubbing to both mods to force Steam to redownload them.


Otherwise, I'm not sure what else could cause a dependency error, the full log might provide more context on what's going wrong.

[20:53:07.165] [Error] Application: exception thrown, shutting down: (StarException) Asset source 'antr_playerVoice' is missing dependency 'Anter583_Library_antrUtilityLib'

I have the dependency installed, so do you have any idea why this error is occurring?

Idk, probably works, I stopped doing extensive FU tests for a long while now.

It uses a rather isolated design, so it should be mostly compatible with everything, although some species mods might need a patch for their chat sounds to work correctly.

compatible with FU?

aw thx

I don't think it is, since it modifies the player status controller's animator.

is this client sided?

It was the only thing that was in my logs, that could've make me crash, but i found the issue, did not come from a mod, gonna try it again, sorry for the fast report :c

Odd, did you make sure to also install my utility library that's listed as a dependency? Its mandatory since it contains the scripts needed to track the player's emotes.

I can't really debug the issue further without a log of your latest session where the crash happens, you can find the log inside the folder C/.../Starbound/storage, its the file that depending on your PC's settings will either be the only ".log" file that doesn't end in a number or the only log file that doesn't end in ".log".
Paste the log's content on a text sharing site like pastebin.com and post the link here, since steam doesn't like it when SB logs are posted here directly.

Idk why but it makes me crash at launch, i'm kinda sadge, i wanted to test it, it seems so nice ! Good idea still <3

I'm surprised no one has made a patch for the avali, feels weird hearing them making the human "hmm". great mod none the less

You could look for mods that change NPC chat sounds, most of them should natively work with this mod without extra patches.

The purpose of this mod is to bring the NPCs chat sound functionality to players, not to overhaul the existing chat sounds.

Could use more... Sounds. Humans do hmm or slightly more exaggerate hmm. But still better than nothing heh.

you should maybe not use "requires" it works a little bit shit with the workshop

It's not a problem. I got the mod uploaded now, I just need to get videos of it in action. I referenced your mod in the description for those who want it. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2692089627 I haven't made any edits to this, since it's SentientSupper's assets from his Combat Overhaul mod, I just released it as a standalone mod, so hopefully, it will be compatible with this one. I'll be sure to test them out later on, but I imagine they should work together.

Nah, having multiple mod bundle versions is too messy for me, I'd rather keep mine seperate so that I can easily introduce any fixes/upgrades that may end up surfacing.
You can list this mod as a soft requirement if you really need to.

I usually try to design most of my mods so that they are natively compatible with similar mods.
So, unless if you did something really funky, they should work with eachother with no extra patches.

Hello. Soon, I'm releasing a standalone NPC ouch sound mod (with permission) from SentientSupper's combat overhaul. Proof of permission to use the assets: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/1595801436/2521353993641392834/?ctp=2 I'm doing a standalone release for people who want to use it without the rest of combat overhaul. It perplexes me that the vanilla game doesn't have players use chat sounds or NPCs using ouch sounds. I've found your mod just today and haven't tested it yet, but it looks promising.

Since both mods are similar, I wanna ask if it's okay if the standalone NPC ouch (not yet released) and this mod could be bundled into one. It would also save mod folder space. In the rare instance people want to use one mod and not the other, I'll still upload the NPC ouch sounds by itself. Let me know your thoughts and if it's okay, I can upload the ouch sound assets to Google Drive.

Hey, it seems that my characters aren't voiced.

HUH? I could swear I did not see the depency link before. I feel stupid now. Anyways, its working and thanks for the help! hahaha

That's odd, antrUtilLib is set to be a dependency, both on steam and inside SB, SB should of physically crashed on startup, telling you about the missing dependency.

Also, yeah, that would actually cause it to crash since my script is trying to load a non-extant file (that being a lua file that contains a bunch of humanoid portrait processing scripts)

Oh I tested around a bit and installing your library mod fixed the issue. I have no idea why, but if this is a common sense kind of thing there should probably be a dependency warning upon subscribing. I've seen that with some other mods refering to FU for example.

Can't help you without a log.
Not sure what inside this mod would even cause a crash in singleplayer.

You can find it if you go to your main SB folder, open the "storage" folder, copy the contents of "starbound.log" (make sure it's not one of the numbered ones) and paste them into pastebin.

It would seem this crashes my Starbound on load-up, not sure why. Singleplayer.

this is awesome and should have been in the base game.

Well I meant a video but ok thanks you

Sure.
It's not as bad as I thought it would be but I may have to sacrifice blinking.

can we get a demo reel?

Can't fix that, the mod tracks your emote sprite and only plays the sound when it sees one of the 2 speech emotes.
Making it play it on every emote will cause all non-chat emote triggers (eating, riding vehicles, etc) to also play the chat sound.

Seems it only works partially with Role-Play Emotes . If you speak normally, it will play the sound. If you type something that will cause an emote (like *cries* or *laughs* or "text here :D") it will not play the sound.

finally someone made it, ¡thanks so much!

Probably not, it modifies the player status controller's animator.

is this clientside?

I like it. Surprised this isn't a vanilla feature.

Saturnians don't have chat sounds now, but they will have them with their next update.

i also kinda expect realistically saturnians to sound like a repeat of some squeaky toy lol

ima see what this sounds like

@Tidalbelt
Idk, haven't tested it, it probably needs to be installed both clientside & serverside since it adds an extra sound to the player status controller's animator.

Ofc it does, also works with most modded ones since it checks for the sounds within the base NPC file.

Does this work with other races?
