KOTOR 2 modding voice files into game with Holocron Toolset

[Doodmane444 0]

Hello so I'm using Holocron Toolset to attempt at making a mod that changes up some of the Telos commoners so that they are more varied in terms of appearance, and also so that they have new dialogue options besides the three basic options that they usually have. ("Czerkas mecenaries"). ( "The war has really inflated prices here on the outer rim").

First of all, does anyone know if it's possible to add a fourth line of dialogue to the Telos commoners, or are they bound to have only three dialogue options when you click on them? I tried to add a fourth, but it seems to only let me use three. 

I also want to know how to make working voice files for the game. I use a simple online voice recorder to try and record my voice. I exported it as an .mp3 file, and then use the sithcodec program to convert it to a .wav file for the game. I then imported it into HOLOCRON TOOLSET. For example, I'm trying to change one of the commoners in telos residential wing West, to use the different voice file. The thing is, that neither the .mp3 or new .wav file works when replacing the voice files. 

It lets me change the text of the three dialogue options, but the new voice files don't work in game, and only play a blank sound. I don't know much of anything about audio or modding in general, so any help would be much appreciated!

Yes it's possible, you probably just need to look at the way the scripts work when calling each line.

If I recall in the first game it's a global banter variable that loops through the dialog options and in the second game it uses a similar method to cycle through the dialog choices of basic one line dialog lines spoken by common npcs.

 

Edit : Regarding the audio files you might just need to ensure they are the correct format, .wav encoding, I think 2 channel, I can't remember the specifics but you can use SithCodec by JCarter426 to encode the file for you.
