Voice in the Dark

NOT WORKING as of 7/20/2025 this mod does not appear to be working. Im not sure what the devs did but the VO content was removed from the accessible files somewhere else. Since this was a fairly simple mod and I am but a simple man I don't foresee a workaround unless I can find where the voice lines are stored.

A simple replacement for some of the toc lines. I did not replace all so the original voice lines can sometimes not mesh with my own. I did not replace all lines simply because they're are over 20 arrest lines alone...some of them just repeating but different inflections on words. I am working on giving more voice lines but will not be replacing all as there are over 100 ish.

I wanted to give the feel of a real dispatcher on the other line. A calm and collected voice to acknowledge and respond. Not some macho tough boardroom guy. This was created for my own enjoyment but thought I might share it with others.

Please tell me if any voices are to quiet. If possible try and note the specfic line...audio files can be found in Steam games\steamapps\common\Ready Or Not\ReadyOrNot\Content\VO/TOC...and clicking should play the sound.

DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS-updated for adam patch.... Vortex is having issues putting the folder in the correct area so manual download is recommended.

Extract the file into your ready or not vo file

i.e. D:\Steam games\steamapps\common\Ready Or Not\ReadyOrNot\Content\VO

it will replace the TOC  file already there...feel free to save the old TOC file as something like old-toc if you want.

future plans

-give more arrest sounds

-update all of the failed missions to sound more authentic

Compatibility: ovb doesn't work with other mods that replace TOC voice. Besides that this doesn't interfere with anything

Background info

If you ever have listened to actual radio traffic is all pretty standard. Stuff like copy and roger are rarely said it all by dispatch. When recording lines I feel as I am limited. 10-4 is what is say alot but we can also reply by saying unit numbers (3, 43, 22, 4, etc) or by responding with the time of the traffic (1340, 1952, 0034). Since we don't have unit numbers and I don't know how long someone is taking to clear a level I did not feel it appropriate to use those. The only option left is 10-4 and variations of that. This is a strive for realistic and grounded radio traffic  for someone who has used to constantly. I try as best to give variety without saying things like "good job" "great work" or "trailer inbound" whatever that is.

Known bugs: There seems to be an issue with the default scripting when choosing audio files. Both in base game and with this mod sometimes death voice lines will play instead of arrest voice lines. <
