OUTDATED: Use Misc Audio Tweaks and Fixes
I noticed my mod has been featured on Sinitar's "ULTIMATE" mod list.
For those of you who are currently following it, I urge you to read this essay by forever_phoenix.
I also recommend you follow Viva New Vegas instead.
You deserve an easier and more stable mod list by authors who do not berate you when asking for support.
Description
Elijah's voice through holograms sucks. Majorly. This attempts to fix that.
The practically essential JIP LN NVSE Plugin mod adds distortion to a lot of extra sound emitters in the game, like holotapes and tannoys. This bugs out when peak frequencies are too high. To fix that, I ran a sweep through all of Elijah's voice files and lowered to a certain threshold.
It's a hack, and it makes certain lines quieter, but it's a decent tradeoff in my opinion.
These files are for the English version. If you're having issues in another language, please let me know and I'll patch those files too.
Installation
Install through a mod manager of your choice - preferably Mod Organizer 2.
Unless you're using the OGG version (read the FAQ if you don't know which one to use), I recommend pairing this with BSA Decompressor.
If you're following Viva New Vegas, which you probably should be, you should already have run it.
Compatibility
This mod should be fine with any other mod that doesn't affect Elijah's vanilla voice lines. If a mod does, let it overwrite this mod, however those lines will sound borked again.
Q: Why use this over setting bVoiceModulationFix=0?
A: bVoiceModulationFix removes all noise filters from the game, including tannoys, masks, and power armour.
This mod remains as a happy medium.
Q: Why is the WAV version so much larger?
A: WAV files cannot be compressed, while OGG files can.
(yes ik WAV isn't here, I forgor)
Q: So which version should I use?
A: OGG. If you need a WAV version, please annoy me and I'll do it.
Q: Can I install this mid-game?
A: You can! It's just an audio replacer with no plugins or scripts. You can also remove it mid-game if you wanted!
Q: I installed it and the audio sounds much quieter!
A: Please read my pinned comment as to why it's like that.
Feel free to copy this project if it's useful in your fix. You have my 100% support.
