ElevenLabs Voices for Guard Dialogue

ElevenLabs AI voiced guard dialogue for all races and genders.

Based off of Guard dialogue by LenaWolfBravil. This replaces all of the xVaSynth lines from that mod with ElevenLabs generated voices.

This covers MOST of the dialogue lines, but not all. More info after the clip below of the voices in action.

The Voices Are Incomplete!

The voices lines in this mod were extracted from Guard dialogue using Export dialogue for xVAsynth - TES4Edit scripts. Due to a small bug in that script, not ALL of the voices were extracted. If you look through the files of this mod, you will see that some races/genders have far more lines than others (this is the same for the xVaSynth files in the original release of Guard dialogue). At the time that I generated these voices, I could not think of a way to generate all of the missing lines, other than doing it by hand, and that was definitely not happening. Of course, a week or two after I generated the voices, I suddenly realized a way that I could have done it that would have covered all of the voices, but at this point I no longer want to spend the time working on mods (just let me play video games and do other things with my life again, PLEASE!!!) and I do not want to spend the money on the additional characters needed in ElevenLabs to generate the missing lines. Below I will list my normal process, and then describe the process that I should have done, which would have covered the remaining voices:

My normal voice generating process

(I learned this method from Vorians)

1. Extract voices from mod in question's .esp with Export dialogue for xVAsynth - TES4Edit scripts

2. Open the lines up in excel, then separate all the dialogue lines out into .txt files per race and gender (Argonian F, Argonian M, ect)

3. I use DVBO Voice Pack Maker to generate all of the lines per race and gender (Argonian F, Argonian M, ect)

4. Create customized .bat files (created per race and gender - Argonian F, Argonian M, ect) to rename all of the generated voice files to match Oblivion's file naming scheme.

What I should have done

1. Extract voices from Guard Dialogue's .esp with Export dialogue for xVAsynth - TES4Edit scripts

2. Open the lines up in excel, completely disregard the race and gender columns, use excel's duplicate lines feature to detect all duplicate voice lines in the dialogue column, delete all duplicates.

3. This leaves us with one master list of all guard dialogue, with no missing voice lines. Since all guards are meant to speak the same lines, regardless of race or gender, we can copy and paste this master list of guard dialogue lines into a single .txt file to use for every single race and gender.

4. Use the master list .txt alongside DVBO Voice Pack Maker to generate all of the lines per race and gender (Argonian F, Argonian M, ect
