LE Revoicing a vanilla NPCs dialogue? Possible?

[svaalbard]

I was thinking of making a mod that revoices an NPC, probably starting with Farengar Secret Fire.

 

I haven't made mods for Skyrim since 2011 (textures, meshes), so those were extremely simple mods.

 

Currently, I know that the voice files are .fuz - and that you can extract them? with this tool:

 

 

UnFuzer

So, potentially, I could record a .wav, then package my mod as loosefiles to overwrite the .bsa's .fuz files for Farengar?

 

Currently I'm having trouble finding the voice files for Farengar too. Any ideas where to start looking?

 

I'm a complete noob to CK, haven't used it since it's realease for a couple of weeks to make a bad house mod.

He does not have a unique voice, so to find his files you'll have to unpack all of the voice files for his voice type (I think it was MaleEvenToned, I can't remember from the top of my head) and wade through to find his lines if you know exactly all of his lines of dialogue, to make sure you don't end up accidentally revoicing someone else. Kind of a hassle, but that's how it is :confused:

I know mlee has done it with VoT.

Cant you use the "Find valid something for this voice type" and do it with a actor or unique actor etc..

I seem to remember being able to do that when I re-voiced lydia a long time ago, I'll take a gander at it when i get home tomorrow for ya, I know I missed a few when I did it but got most of them so there is a way

If you know Farengar's lines of dialogue, you can use Voice File Reference Tool to identify which voice files correspond to his lines of dialogue. Beats having to listen to all the voice files for the voice type.

 

Edit: Alternatively, you could just search for file names with "farengar" in them (see screenshot). I don't know if those are all his lines, but it's a good start.
