TheUglyIgloo Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I've been trying for the past hour to add custom voices from a .wav file. I can't record my own voices, or anything, because I don't have a microphone. I've tried using the archive application in the Skyrim directory, but the sound file still won't show up in the list. I made sure all the names matched, including the folders and the BSA files. Why couldn't Bethesda make things easier for modders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUglyIgloo Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Do you have a link to such? I googled and I can't find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhowington Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Whether you have a mic or not you still need to record silence if nothing else, save it and generate a lip file. This will give you a file that you can rename the wav file to and copy it into the voices folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUglyIgloo Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) Thanks for responding, but I still have a few more questions: 1. How do I record silence without a mic? The Creation Kit won't let you do even that. 2. Do I also change the file extension of the .wav file? If so, how do I convert it? 3. Where will my recording be saved when I record silence?

rhowington Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 If CK won't let you record without a mic see if you can find any old headset with a mic jack. You will be able to record then. To find your file go to data/sound/voices/name-of-your-character.esp and find the silent wave file you just recorded. Rename your voiced file to be the same as in the voices folder and copy your sound file and paste it over the one in the folder. All recorded sound files in CK are .wav files 44400 hz, 16 bit, mono.

I tried plugging my headphones into my microphone jack, and then selecting the device in the creation kit, but the record button is still grey.

rhowington Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Do your headphones have a mic? I have 5 or 6 crap headphones with mics laying around, I thought just about everyone did. Anyway, the computer has to recognize it as a microphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cronosnake Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) I think that I have read somewhere that you need to have the mic plugged in before launching the creation kit. If you haven't already, try that. Edited September 1, 2013 by cronosnake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
