Voiced Dialogue

[Ryzer]

HI everyone!

Was wondering if its possible to add voiced dialogue for your character? I was trying to figure it out myself with dlg editor and using an ai voice for wav files, but got nothing to work. I wanted to look into lip movements too if got the dialogue working but read thats a bit more complex software wise, so have not yet attempted that. Is it possible for any of this? If so can anyone help me out? im really desperate to up the immersion with this game ;(

There's an entire tutorial and discussion on doing this. As I recall someone was looking to automate the process as well.

Long story short, it's a lot of work, but it's possible.

Thank you so much, i’ll definitely look into that. Is the lip movement also included in that tutorial or is that a whole process on its own? tried to read into the lip thing but the threads i read were from like 2013, and probably outdated.

No, I don't think so, you would have to generate the lip files yourself, there is information on how to do so around here somewhere.

I believe the best tool for generating lips is currently in the reone toolkit, from what I remember reading it is the best anyway.

Really doing this is a LOT of work and not something that can realistically be done manually, it would have to be automated otherwise you would have to go through every line of every dialog yourself and make various adjustments, as well as generating the lip files.

So sadly, i tried to give it a shot despite it being a simple process, however the process itself is difficult and thats mostly because im a newbie with kotor lol, ive modded plenty of other games before but kotor is a new one for me,  I read the tutorial about the voiced over dialogue but its more interpreted for modders who are more established then i am, and he uses TSL as a base line for the tutorial  so its not really helping my case haha, i dont really want to drag you into having to explain it step by step for me but i am pretty desperate for this mod, ashame that no one has ever created some sort of basis for it. I know that jedijosh920 had one awhile back but his stuff got shut down.

Both games are relatively similar, though they have some specific differences.

There are a lot of tutorials available for modding the game, for the most part it's just a matter of opening up the files and learning your way around.

As I mentioned though, realistically this is the sort of thing that needs to be automated, manually adding an entry for every line spoken by the player character isn't feasible.

I could probably figure out some way to get it automated for the rest, its more or less just figuring out the basis of the process and getting a single dialogue to work. but i might just give it up lmao, tried to trial and error for a few hours and followed the tutorial but nada on my end.

As far as I know everyone that has tried this has given up, so no shame there.
