The plan would be to append it to a separate section of the credits yep. Not sure if / how the rpu credits are implimented yet. And amazing job on the heads! I'm excited to voice act a couple more charactera for you! Are they all complete with the mouth frames?

Oh, and I'll see if I can go about modifying the credits. If it's straight forward to do we can add credits for the voice actors. Once your latest update goes out I'll take a look at the current npc list and see if there's any others in the current pool that I'd like to act for you. I'm hoping...

I may re-record him then if you liked the voice acting. My mic is fairly decent (one of the blue snowalls), I just had the backround noise from my PC fans (running 10 in my cube case, haha), and want to have a bit of sound dampening going so it doesn't sound like I am in a building.

So I am going to say that we are officially open for voice acting applicants for your mod @Goat_Boy . For now I will support generating the required files, testing them, and providing them to you to integrate into the mod. Eventually once I can put more work into the scripts to help further...

I was pointed to one called Lyrebird AI. We could deffinetely auto synthesize it but to be honest, I prefer the idea of voice acting. For 1) you can change the tone of your voice easily and make certain inflections in speech to give the character more personality. 2) People enjoy (myself...

Gentlemen (and ladies), I present Klint, fully (and semi-poorly) voice acted by myself, art work provided by @Goat_Boy. Total time from starting to record voice acting lines to running the demo was about 2 hours, and that includes some mucking about with the wav files to fix an audio playback...

Managed to work out how to integrate the speech files into the .MSG's / scripts so I've pretty much got everything I need to start getting klint talking. Already got him singing the same song above ^ using Marcus's modified files so now all I have to do is record a few lines of dialogue for him...

Been listening to this all night as part of a lip-sync script I've been working on for mod authors. I think marcus sang it better:

I couldn't resist doing another one. I wanted to evaluate the robustness of the tool against song vocals. Singing is much harder to get the phoneme extraction for and so it required some hand editing. (The last demo extracted perfectly, singing just distorts the syllables + the fast tempo means...

It's not quite vanilla but yeah, if you wouldn't mind giving me an overview on your time. Probably going to take a break for a couple days then maybe start on Klint over the weekend.

I don't know how to do this yet which is part of the reason why I wanted to get a hold of one of your npc's to get familiar with adding them and then how to integrate the speech. Unfortunately the speech synth technology wasn't nearly as farly advanced as it is today. I used a readily...

@Goat_Boy I'll take the assets (.frms / anything else you may have) for Klint if you don't mind. I'll work on voice acting his lines and start adding the batch process capability for multiple files at a time Would ultimately like to be able to auto-extract all lines of dialogue into individual...

Welp, I managed to slap together a first demo of the automatic lip sync generation... looks like Hakunin votes democrat. Please forgive me for the absolutely shit video quality, I need to adjust the screen grab settings for fallout 2 and do a better demo later. Was stumped for quite some time...

You won't actually see / need the waveform visual. That's from Praat which I used to analyze the phoneme timing extraction against the sound file. My end goal here is to just have the voice actor's .wav and the NPC's dialogue .txt files and batch process it through a script to auto generate the...

Big progress this morning. Managed to finally get the forced alignment script running. Ran it on the sound file for a certain sergeant we all know and love. Below is a visualization of the phoneme extractions with the time stamps for each sound on the left. I can use the extracted .grd file to...

Alright I'll try again.

So initially started off about this all wrong. Was trying to find any sort of library that could do straight phoneme extraction from the file alone but determining that sort of sequence from an audio file by itself is the study of many PhD papers and the couple of API's out there don't work that...

And I don't have an artistic bone in my body which is why I prefer to work the back end, haha. I'll leave the art creation to others with a more creative hand.

Yeah I'll need some time to get the proof of concept working. I found an API that supposedly marks time stamps for each of the phoneme's in an audio file. Will need to evaluate how well it ID's the sounds and timing, that will be the hardest part. Plan for tonight is just to evaluate the .acm...

I'm curious if Black Isle used a speech synth or hand did these. I don't imagine speech synthesization was very good back then, but some of the phoneme sequences were a bit wierd. Tired of listening to Frank Horrigan's sound files at this point to identify sound codes, lol. Marcus comes in as...
