Yeah, it's just replacing files. Just make sure it's in the same folder structure. And the archive needs to be named subst_01 instead of ext_01.

To make these do you just replace the soundfile in base game? Or use your own folder?
I was planning to do something similiar before Kingdom End DLC launched but with Alerts, Never got around to learning the system.

It's real https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3014626310

ok cool looking f forward to what u come up with.. ;)

i agree with vardarth..more options of betty voices would be nice! :)

m'kay recorded some of my workflow. Not really helpful. But shows why this is a pain. It has a habit of shouting short sentences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpD6ApEieig

Damn I wish I knew how you did this. I'd love to have a bootleg Cephalon Cy (from Warframe's Railjack segments) as my ship voice...

Tali would be good, or any number of voices, variety is better. Just do what you enjoy and others will too.

4-5 days. I could cut that down now that I know what I'm doing. Also I've been training a Tali model for the past 10~ hours. Should be done Soon™.

Sind, how long you make this?

I actually want to do Tali (waifu). I've got ideas on how I can streamline this entire thing. But doing it would take some work.

You are GENIUS!!!! if you make few more shepard's crews voice (PLS Tali/Joker/Garrus) you be in top modders :D

Made an update that redid some terran ship names. The japanese names didn't turn out well. Osaka was "Osuckuh". Fixed that and some others.

I can solidly imagine GLaDOS from Portal in this along with all the quips of being a "pathetic specimen" when you take hits or lose shields. Nice.

@GenBrien Yeah, it only changes sound files.

@Radrakin Maybe eventually. I kinda deleted the prep work I did for this mod. So I'd have to do it all over. I'd like to do the Overwatch voice from half life. Or the VOX black mesa announcement system.

I guess it must be safe to add/remove for savegames?

Any chance in doing CABAL from C&C?

@Axeface Thanks. Also, I'd imagine the file creation was automatic due to the tools egosoft may or may not be using. Seeing as how almost every other NPC has the same file structure. Probably just easier to generate them for all rather than picking and choosing who gets what filtered audio. That and for future use.

@SindSieEcht Right thats what I thought, odd that they took the time to make the 3 versions isnt it. Well, again, great work!

@Axeface Same, It couldn't do "AI" so I did "ayy eye". As for the other 3 audio types. I just copied the normal type over them. I'd like to find an EQ balance to achieve the exact effect for the other three. But I realized I don't think I've ever heard Betty through the comms or broadcasted before. Decided it would've been a waste of my time.

@SindSieEcht About having to add other words to get the right sound. I had a similar experience trying to get betty to say Hyperion, I had to add all sorts of stuff after it for it to sound even close to correct - ended up as "Highpeer eyan hey", lol. Also (just out of interest) did you do _broadcast and _npc? There are 3 folders with different filters right? I always wondered why they existed for Betty when she is always the same (understand why it exists for npcs like teladi etc).

Yeah. Took about 4-5 days of sporadic work. Used a Python script I got from chatgpt to delete lines that did not have an associated sound file. I copied the line. Posted into xvasynth and generated. Then I'd open it in Audacity to save it as an Ogg, replacing the original. Thankfully the lines and files were sorted numerically, so I just went down the list.

It doesn't like generating one-word sentences and would output gibberish. Like "Ore" would come out as "Ooohr" or something. I got around that by generating something like "Ore. Word." and just cutting out the second word just to get the phonetics right. That's what really slowed me down.

First of its kind! Well done. Did you really manually type each line, audit it, rename the file and place in the correct folder? For every single voice file? Ive seen those folders... must have take na while.

There is one line I couldn't replicate so I just made it say Shepard Commander ofc.

shepard commander

This is awesome, however, I personally would prefer Jarvis's voice from Iron man.

Thank you

Swank

Nicely done
