zlobnez Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Hi! I tried to add custom voice to a companion I made with CM Partners, but I found out that it's impossible. I made all the recordings, and then found und out that CS 1.2 doesn't support .lip file creating, and I had to install the previous version of the CS. When I tried in that one, a messege poped up, saying that the CM .esm and .esp files are a to high EXE format(or smth like this) for this CS to load. So, custom voices-finito. Well I got another idea: Is it possible to record the same greetings as in the CM mod, and then just replace the sound files? In the sound folder(oblivion/data...) there are six or seven .lip files, and as many mp3 files. Would just replacing the mp3 files, and naming them as the old ones do the trick?

BadPrenup Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 yeah that would work i believe, back up your files to be sure. But as far as I knew, you don't need to generate a .lip file for it to work, you just need to record what you want the character to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's only necessary to change the mp3s as those are the actual sound files if you're just after voice change. The lip files are for lip synching to the NPCs voice. Unless your new recordings are drastically different from the stock mp3s and the lip synch is too way off, you don't have to change them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlobnez Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 I replaced the mp3 files, named the new ones exactly as the old ones, and now my companion is mute! Wtf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thePhilanthropy Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 It could be that the mp3s you made are encoded incorrectly (for Oblivion). They need to have these parameters:Frequency: 44100 HzBit Rate: 64 kbps cbr (constant bit rate)Channels: mono I never managed to get them to work with Audacity, though. But with Wavepad it worked perfectly. Try it out. There's also a tutorial here, that deal with something similar. Might be useful.http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=16268 Good Luck!

zlobnez Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Thanx philatrophy! I downloaded Wavepad, recorded the voice one more time and now it works! :thanks: :thanks: Only one thing..now all the nord companions greet with my voice :rolleyes: Does anyone know how to put these voices just to my char? Do I have to create a new race(which would be just a copy of the Nord) and put those voicefiles as default? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thePhilanthropy Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Do I have to create a new race(which would be just a copy of the Nord) and put those voicefiles as default?That seems to be the easiest way. Where's the harm? One more thing though. Read that tutorial I posted earlier. Because, it might be necessary to define some voice-files in a quest-like manner. idk. Glad I could help at all.

rdamstrom Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 to create lipsink files you do not need to load your companion mod . create a new mod just for making you lipsink files. once you have them move and rename them to where your voices areremember to use wav files to create the lipsinking.
