📋 About This Mod

Let People Speak - Voice Management Overhaul System is an OBSE plugin that revamp and solve various issues with the original system the game use  for loading Voice Files and the associated Lip Syncing

This Plugin implement 4 different features:

  • []It allows dialogues to use of the EditorID of a Race instead of it's name for their voices and lip sync.[/]

    []Allow to assign to specific NPC a spearate voice type (using the Voice\<ESPFile>\<NPCEditorID>\<SoundFile> path, without the sex/gender)[/]

    []It search for an available file corresponding to the playing dialogue using all the race names that appeared in the mod list in

    reverse order[/]

    []It search for the voice associated to the dialogue using information of the Race Voice Override records in the definitions in the entire

    mod list[/]

    []If it can't find a file, it use an empty 8 second silence sound with lip syncs[/]

    The functionality of the plugins is entirely dynamic. The information required are obtained at runtime at the game startup, so

    the data are fresh and react to Load Order changes, mod additions,  updates and removal. No information are written into the save game.

    As an additional bonus it forcefully and unconditionally disable bBackgroundLoadLipFiles option. It's bugged and can cause

    greetings and hellos to not play, especially when redirected.

    And When using MessageLogger and REID it allow MessageLogger to get the editor ids of objects

    As version 1. 3. 0 is fully compatible with EditorIdMapper

    Requirements:

    • []xOBSE 22. 0 or above. Preferred Version 22. 9 or above.[/]

      []If using MessageLogger but not RuntimeEditorID   check that bHookAllEditorID  is equals to  1  in MessageLogger.ini[/]

      Installation:

      Extract the file inside Oblivion\Data. If asked to merge folders, press Yes.

      Load the game with OBSE
