nvm it do, just had to use AML.

It doesn't show up in the voices menu, unfortunately.

@Epsilon-11: ALL Voicepacks work with WotC. There might be a few lines missing for certain actions of hero units or modded classes calling those lines however.

Does this work for war of the chosen? If not war of the chosen compat when?

Still works just fine for me. how does it force your computer to "reset"? i've never heard of that before. does it crash the computer? ctd? freeze entirely?

Still works for me.

I have not been able to return to this project since WotC was released. When I do put this back on my workbench that will be an issue I address.

It doesn't work with WOTC, it forces my computer to reset...

Yes, I'm sure my computer isn't at fault here since I played for 1H30 at XCOM 2: War Of The Chosen without this mod activated.

It's a little quiet, but works with WOTC.

I do hope to return to this project in the future. But I have no projected time-frame as to when that will happen. At that time WotC compatibility is on the list.

Was this ever updated to work with WotC?

oh man, we really need the japanese version especially since the game lacks japanese as audio

Thanks for making these. I was looking for Japanese since I filled out the character names with those of the voice actors, but I realize you'd have to speak it to do it. The Japanese voice pack in the workshop is funny- I constantly get told to "go to hell" or something in Japanese, lol. This is the next best thing, so thank you.

unless you intend to use them on the hero classes these voice packs work just fine in WotC.

Oh of course, you gotta handle your livelihood first.
Can you tive us uodates as you have time, looking forward to using this mod.

Slowly, unfortunately, due to a fortunate design contract. Its still on my workbench, I've just got to prioritize the paying work at this point in time.

Love the mod, how is the update for WotC coming?

thanks for the collection. and to everyone else, SHUT UP AND PLAY THE FUCKDAMN GAME

Excellent! Adding the rest to my mod list now. Thanks!

Arkhangel... seriously bruv. not to be a dick but just like me you have ZERO credits to your name. don't compare him to someone else.

nicely updated, a lot cleaner now. still got a ways to go till you're on Walker's level, but then he's probably the best voice modder we have in the community. still a LOT better than it used to be :)

do it pussy

Hey. If you kids don't quiet down I swear I'll turn this tachikoma around.

@techstepman Shut the fuck up you weaboo virgin

@soul: look, never said it had to be perfect, but making a voicepack is more than just cut-and-pasting stuff... and as for modding, I'm hypercritical of anything i'd make too. I have however bounced ideas off people several times in here that have had things show up, and i help out where I can.

I'm also well aware I can come off as a prick... but... honestly... as i've said.. if you're going to do a voicepack, you should at least just do a basic filtering on it. when I heard this the first time, it literally was just sound clips from the show.

and if i ever post a mod, please, feel free to rip me a new ass if i make a mistake.

@azureterra: thats a really good point. (also batou)

@arkangel: could you be more full of yourself? if you want the mod to be perfect make it yourself. simple as that. you're really entitled and seem to lord yourself over everyone who doesn't do things as you'd like. why? what have you done? i've seen you account. not one mod. not a credit to a mod. yet you judge anothers work as if you were some elitist wine critic with a stick up his ass. either use the mod or don't. i will. and... thumbs up for anyone willing to put in even the smallest bit of what you're unwilling to do.

@Azure: You know.. that other guy might actually be working on them. he just actually waits until he's DONE a mod before posting it.

If the other VP is better then go use it. Im personally hanging out for Togusa and the Tachikoma's ~ somethign that the "other" VP author doesnt have.

@arkangel the part that really annoyed me was the history lesson on a name that had nothing to do with anything related to the friggin mod. i'm well aware of the kusanagi sword, anyone who's ever watched manga or played a japanese game will run into it at some point. but it feels like you're just coming off with an air of "i'm smarter than you, do it how i want or else". so how bout just dropping this one? i'm not gonna say it's perfect but it's more than EITHER of us have done for this game.

@arkangel he said he'll do it. if he doesn't that's fine to. take what you can get or make it yourself. ya dig?

@Soul: cutting out background noise is a pretty basic VP thing, man... kinda something you try to do BEFORE you start posting a bunch of stuff, less hassle to get it done right the FIRST time, than have to backtrack back through all of them to fix everything.

arkangel he already said he's going to go back and fix it. and someone who isn't great with audio does the best they can. so... give em a break. they get better.

@Soul: Actually.. it's more the fact this isn't really a voicepack, it's a bunch of cut-and-pasted lines. Sure, that's a bit of work, but it also takes like.... 10 seconds to run a sound modding program like Audacity (which is freeware) and split the voices from background sound effects and music.

I mean, I'd love to use the Revy from Black Lagoon mod that's been around for months here too, but having that background music and stuff breaks the game for me, especially when 90% of non-joke Voicepacks WERE polished. Stuff like this is disrespectful to people who actually take the time to make a mod better. and, as I said, Audacity's freeware, and you can literally do what i said in like ten seconds. i did it in Creative Writing last semester. it would improve the quality of this mod at least tenfold.

@「死の火」 Yamino Takamaru mostly annoyed by guys like arkangel. honestly if you don't like it don't use it. and to be honest "ghoat" is where i draw the line too...

@c_note_1001: Happens to everyone. Just a heads up, your title now has a new typo("Ghoat" instead of "Ghost"). :x
Seriously only meaning to point it out so you can make your work look good, which the title and description are important parts of imho. (@Dragneel mostly, pointing out typos is no nonesense imho, especially as they're usually quickly fixable especially when they're not in the mod's files, but only on the workshop.)

-face palm- When did I start spelling that with an "i"?

ok you guys leave him alone with the nitpick nonsense. he typo'd deal with it. didn't make it jp. deal with it. stop telling him what to do and just let him do it. also i like this pack better than the other motoko kusanagi pack personally.

Also... to put it bluntly, the other Motoko Kusanagi VP mod is better, because the Author took the time to cut out any background audio. this wouldn't be so bad if there was an actual music mod for Ghost in the Shell for XCOM 2. Would be kinda awesome to have Run Rabbit Junk play when combat started :D

Kusanagi also means "Grasscutter". it's the name of a Tsurugi (Straight-blade Japanese Longsword, NOT a Katana or Nodachi, they're curved) that's one of the Imperial Artifacts.

It got the name because according to myth, it was given to a hero who had an enemy attempt to kill him by shooting his horse and lightning the field of grass he was in on fire, thus prompting him to try and use it to remove fuel for said fire near him. also according to myth, however, Kusanagi was apparently capable of controlling the wind, which let him blow the fire back into the enemies who had set it in the first place.

@neuromancer and others talking about the name: Well, my mistake on the name. Misread it as "Makoto" instead of "Motoko", but it's the same in Japanese and English as Siodog pointed out...the name order is up to the modder in any case imho anyway. It's not subtitles, where there can be logical reasoning for both sides.

@c_note_1001: Like the fact that you added the "English" to the name, and seriously no offense, but her last name's still written wrong. :x "Kusanagi" it is instead of "Kusinagi", this time I'll give a source too, since I made a mistake on her name before myself. https://myanimelist.net/character/1795/Motoko_Kusanagi

I just looked up the other one, the key differences are the voice actors and sources.

The previous one: "adds a voice pack for the Major to XCOM2; lines are taken from GITS: First Assault and also SfvsTK (Nina)" which are video games, First Assault being an MMO that sounds like it failed to capture the actual essence of GitS.

Whereas this one is from GitS Stand Alone Complex (anime series).

Obviously the other one will be cleaner as they are just voice files from the games, whereas this one does have some background noises as they are audio clips from the show. Of course there is the question of *who* is the voice of Motoko to you. The voice actors from the anime are probably more familiar to many.

SlayerOfKings -I just checked out the voice pack done by Jblade, it can be found here for anyone who is interested: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=858964771

I have not tested Jblade's version in my own game so I can not say for certain on the differences beyond what was posted in the comments and from watching the preview video.
From comments I gather that Jblade made use of audio samples from work by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn beyond Ghost in the Shell while I did not. Comparing the video (without having tested Jblade's MOD myself, and without knowing what changes have been made since said video was posted) my mod appears to have more Voice Cues.

Also, in all honesty, mine is possibly dirtier at this point. I plan to clean my own audio, but that wont occur until I've completed all of Section 9's voice packs.

SlayerOfKings -I am unaware of said voice pack.

I like the concept but Jblade also did a Motoko pack about a few months ago is there any key differences?

First, to the modder: Nice work, been planning to add Motoko to my game, and was considering what to do for a voice, and now you this. Cool.

To the people whining about the name: In everything, the English version of her name is Motoko Kusanagi, maybe that's not a 'correct' translation (to you), but that is what was decided on about 20 years ago when Ghost in the Shell came to the West. As SlayerofKings said, Google it.

"But that's not the correct Japanese name!" I hear the Otaku cry with indignation. Yeah, yeah, what the f**k ever. I'm so sure that when things get translated from English, or French, or German, or whatever into Japanese that the translation is perfect. Moving from language to language is difficult, some words and concepts move with difficulty, names are sometimes very difficult. Life's a b***h, wear a helmet.

Batou, Togusa, Ishikawa, Saito, Paz, Borma, Tachikoma. You will see them all eventually.

Don't worry about the bickering, I get it. This isn't the first time I've encountered the DUB v SUB argument. And to give the SUBers out there an objective reply, I would probably agree that the dialogue in the native language is of higher standard. In the DUB the writing is saturated with information dump in practically every line, its awkward since people don't speak to include every topical detail in every sentence. All of that being said, I have no proficiency in Japanese, and to that effect, even if I attempted to extract the native language audio while refering to the SUB translations there is no way I could have any certainty that what I extracted made any sense.

@「死の火」 Yamino Takamaru i'd agree with that. but the part that bugged me was the attack for it.

@c_note_1001 seriously though. thank you. i hope that regardless of our bickering you don't decide to stop. (and i hope for batou... seriously. one of my favorite characters) but i'd say this to any and all modders. make what you want, call it what you will. it's yours. no one elses.

Guys, her given name is Mokoto and family name is Kusanagi.
In the west it's given then family.
In Japan it's family then given.

It's in every form of media from the Manga to the Anime to the Film it's Motoko. Google is your friend.

After Google, I'm sufficiently convinced it is Kusanagi Motoko
