My Content has 4 folders in it. I noticed in the posted screenshot that there are several more that I dont see. I double checked the installer and admittedly missed the Local Mapping check, but on the second run it still only shows 4 folders. Im looking to get involved with UI adjustments and dont have UI section (like in the original posted screenshot)

EDIT:

See post after this one, make sure you are selecting 'All" before pressing "Load."

---

If you have the game pass version, you might need to select OblivionRemastered-WinGDK.utoc

On the Archive tab, below it should have a Loading Mode drop down; Choose All instead of Multiple... that worked for me, cos I was also only getting 4 folders at first

Hey man I came back to tell you exactly this ! Unfortunately I was hoping to find some sort of mappings to get human readable names for the player races voices but what I am looking to replace is in the English folder so its just files like this 574762734.wem 

The guy who did this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/1232 had to listen thousands of soundfiles and wing it by ear 😕
 

Unfortunately, unless I have missed something or just don't know, but yeah I think we are going to have to just manually look through all of the .wem files to find the specific voices. I have really wanted to change Weebam Na back to his original voice. Rat Ragu! With powdered .wem!!! Yeah, CaseytheVA is definietly a hero for doing that, must have been REALLY tedious.

Changing NPC voices to the original are done using xEdit instead, save yourself the headache and the time

Hiya, how would I go about unpacking OblivionRemastered-Windows.pak to grab an audio file from it to replace another audio file? When I put it over UnrealUnpak.bat I get the following and nothing is unpacked

The pak you are extracting should be directly from the source game folder. In addition, you did not specify an output location (the one that comes after -extract), be sure to include that so the program knows where to put your extracted files.

TUTORIAL (Work in Progress) ADDITION: FINDING VOICE LINES

Original Oblivion Voice Lines / Files

Did a quick google search and found a way for you to find the exact VO you're looking for. You just need to know the name of the NPC that says it. If it's a guard it might be just as easy as knowing which town the guard is from.

The tutorial is here on the wiki but note this is only for the original Oblivion process of extracting audio files with the BAE extractor tool, might not be related to .pak until we get a new Creation Kit. I'll drop some more information on what I've found within the .pak below.

  • This is the fastest way to see if the V.O. line and wav file is simply in the original .bae file in Oblivion Remastered. If you find it, it may bring a clue in searching for its new / equivalent in the files and directories of the pack file:

Remastered Voice Lines / Files in the .pak

I can point you to the strings / localization texts that has all transcribed lines along with what appears to be a localization label. However I'm not sure about finding a file that links the label to the .wem that is used. If I find this I'll reply to the thread.

Here are locations you can find the transcribed lines with FModel, along with the labels next to the spoken lines:

Quote

OblivionRemasterd>Content>Localization>en>Game.locres

and

OblivionRemasterd>Content>Localization>StringTables> (browse all the .uasset files shown in this directory, some are dialogue texts)

  • You can also CTRL+F to help search through the dialogue text as well.
  • Here's an example of the string (dialogue text) and the loc label it's connected to in orange:
  •  "LOC_RT_HELLO_0018baa5_Oblivion_RESP1": "It's... It's you! The Hero of Kvatch! This is truly an honor!"

Hopefully this helps someone!
