📋 About This Mod

  • []My mod expands on Jeremy Petronius's Goodsprings Scrap Dealer with AI voiced lines, a small easter egg, some dialog alterations, and some minor retooling of the character and his inventory based solely on personal preference, particularly with making him serve a unique function as a bulk scrap seller as opposed to a generalized merchant. The voice was based on Jacoren from Vault 13, as a demonstration of how the AI is still fairly limited in mimicking a range of voices, but is currently functionally indistinguishable from a real person, most of the time.
    • []The dialog was almost entirely derived from Jeremy's mod with a few edits. No AI generation was sourced. Note that I have almost no Van Buren lore knowledge, so apologies for any deviations from what little we know of it.

      Main Changes from Original Mod

      - Added scrap electronics, metal, and bottles in bulk.

      - Limited wares to things plausibly defined as scrap, with the major exception of medicine.

      - Added voiced dialog, expanded original dialog, and added slight edits to reflect my version of his character. 

      - Updated localization files and removed Herobrine

      • []I can edit his inventory to include more valuable items as a request. I was looking for someone to sell scrap metal in bulk for the Boomers quest, and for empty bottles for water bottling mods, when I saw this mod had open permissions and no voice acting, so I edited it to my own tastes and decided to experiment.

        At this point I have no particular plans to increase his dialog options or update his voice. I think people pretty much know what we're dealing with at this point and I'm not particularly inspired to continue with his character, save for maybe reusing him in a Novac Food Vendor mod I want to make.

        I do plan on re-releasing all the voice files with an AI trained on my own voice instead of someone else's, for personal reasons. Feel free to use these files for your own purposes.

        Theoretically you could also load the voice files into the old ESP, but lipsyncing would be off as a result.

        • []Voice was sampled from the Overseer in Fallout 1
          • []Please, please, please download and endorse the original mod which made this possible.
            • [] Goodsprings scrap dealer mod was released with full modification permissions and I extend the same permissions to anyone wishing to use what I have added.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod replaces the dialogue of the Goodsprings Scrap Merchant in Fallout: New Vegas with AI-generated voice acting using ElevenAI. It serves as a proof of concept for AI voice acting in mods, highlighting both its potential and limitations. With 70 endorsements and over 6,400 downloads, it's a niche but notable experiment.

✨ Key Features

Replaces the Goodsprings Scrap Merchant's dialogue with AI-generated voice acting.
Uses ElevenAI technology for voice synthesis.
Serves as a proof of concept for AI voice acting in mods.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Interesting proof of concept for AI voice acting—worth checking out if you're curious about the tech.
  • Decent traction with 70 endorsements and over 6,400 downloads, so it's been tried by a fair number of players.
  • Lightweight addition that doesn't overhaul anything else, just voices one NPC.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects one NPC, so it's a very small change to the game.
  • AI voice acting can sound robotic or inconsistent—this mod might not be for everyone.
  • Last updated in March 2023, so it may not be compatible with the latest game patches or mods.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout: New Vegas players who are curious about AI voice acting and want to see it in action without a huge overhaul. Also for modders interested in the technical side of AI voice integration. Skip if you want a fully voiced NPC or a more substantial content addition.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a simple replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder and enable the mod in your mod manager.
  • Make sure you have the game's DLCs if the mod requires them—check the mod page for any dependencies.
  • If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, let it handle the file placement to avoid conflicts.
