📋 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.

greetings and hellos to not play, especially when redirected.
