Fallout 2 mod RPU - Talking Heads Addon

This seems like a really easy fix to just switch out the PC's name with some other title or pronoun. It's kind of obvious that Gustarballs1983 person here despite beeing present like 7 years on NMA still doesn't know the basics of NMA modding database archives, which either deems him, an Ignorant, or as 'Ol Harold says requires a" little time on the wetstone himself" a.k.a "..not the sharpest tool in the shed.."

 

So... that guts the feature then; Goris would no longer refer to the PC by name.

He's monstrous... So how about use an AI voice to record the list of names [potentially processed with plugin/distortion after], and have the voice actor imitate the AI voice—close enough—that the inserted name clips don't stand out so much from the human performance?

 

It's not just goris, there are a handful of characters that use the player's name. It would just be too much work to record a thousand common player names.

Only othwr way would be to use machine learning and the VA's lines as a training set to create a text to speech model for each character. It just isn't practical.

The players name will still show up in the dialog box, it just won't be spoken.

 

Progress update: Finished integrating completed dialog for:

BARKUS (Vault City)
SHERIFF MARION (Redding)
STEVE (Broken Hills)

Also I fixed the bug with Slim picket not displaying as I had re-generated his script using an outdated copy of the SSL from before Goat Boy's head updates. These updates will be in the 0.2.0 release to come at the end of the week, along with additional completed dialog for:

KEN LEE (Shi)
DEX (EPA)
MIRA (NCR)
MOM (Den)
GREG (Vault City), pending audio fixes
WOOZ (Gecko), pending a few lines of dialog from VA
FESTUS (Gecko), pending a few lines of dialog from VA

 

Yeah and seemes smebody beeing called the same by myself has a serious PITA about it ;p
and yeah it's over 13 years not 7 ;p

 

I love the project, but I don't believe that I'd want re-imagined originals, as opposed to revised originals.

Spoiler: An example that is totally not part of this mod. ;)

Adding new heads is wonderful, but re-imagining them is overwriting the developer's original art.

 

We are deffinetely not planning on replacing anything or adjusting the dialog. Completely agree on preserving the original artwork.

 

Anyone know if the .ssl scripting language performs order of operations like PEMDAS or is it from left to right?

In the middle of redoing my VA script generator as I found that several dialog sets were incomplete due to missed lines when analyzing the .ssl.

 

I wrote a program to extract all the voiced dialog that we need from each character and to generate the script for the VA's. However, there was a bug in this program that caused several lines of dialog to go missed in the script for an unknown number of characters. So for the past couple weeks up until today, we have been on a script-sending freeze while I address the bug.

The freeze is finally lifted and we are sending out voice actor lines again, now that we are no longer dealing with this issue, since I made my tool much more robust in analyzing the .ssl's. Just sent out scripts for Dalia, Stuart Little, Smitty, Ben Wade, Angela Bishop, and The Brain, all of which will be in the next major revision update of THAT mod (0.3.0), which will go out sometime next month, once we can get closer to 40-50 voiced characters.

In the mean time, the next release, THAT mod 0.2.1, will go out in the next week or two, and will include a bug fix for smiley as well as integrating in missing lines from the current character set.

Version 0.2.0 is currently available on the nexus and includes 26 voiced characters, but some are missing dialog lines or some lines (in smiley's case) aren't playing due to an issue that will be resolved in the next update.

 

I think it would be cool to have a Maurice LaManche impersonation for the Brain.

 

AWESOME!

Really like that Mason talking head. Mason would be a Fed in another life.

 

We got some one who we were pretty happy with. He should be in the next update.

Hoping to release here in a couple weeks.
