DA2 New Audio Tutorial

DA2 New Audio Tutorial

--------------------------------------------------

This is exactly what it says on the tin -- a tutorial on adding new audio (focusing on lines of dialogue) into DA2.  This is information I cobbled together using various resources (mainly the Xentax forums post here) and have tried to put into a workable/semi-coherent form so others can use it.

Note that this is pretty complex and involves hex editing, and I am far from great at crafting tutorials -- it assumes some knowledge of the basics of modding DA2 in general and conversation modding in specific.  (I would recommend Sapphim's Tutorials for learning about conversation editing.)

It's possible there's a better way of going about all of this, so if someone has found/finds an easier method, I would be very happy to learn it!  In the meantime, here you go.  Break out the hex editor and have at it.

Update: Tutorial updated to include how to fix an issue where cloned soundbanks are loaded in the same area as the original soundbank.  Sorry guys, I'm still learning this as I go! :)

I've uploaded a video example of a new line of dialogue I brought into the game (the same line that I was using as an example in the tutorial).  For reference, the new line of audio is the very last line of the video.
