Editing Streamvoice files question (Tsl)

[MoogleNut]

First of all before i go jumping into my questions and making a complete fool of myself, I'd like to sell "Hello!" from a newb both to the forums and to modding.

 

OK, here's my predicament: (and apologies if this has been covered before, I did search but have found nothing)

 

Having downloaded and played TSL with the Handmaiden for female pc mod (which is my second favourite after the Bastilla/female Revan mod) it's really irritating being referred to as "he" and "him" all the time.

So then it came to me - I want to edit (copy/paste) the voice over files to correct this.

 

Looking through the streamvoice folders and identifying the relevant files was an easy first step. Some files simply need renaming so that the female version will be played instead of the male - i would assume so anyway being new to this. Others can be cut and spliced with parts from other lines - taking great care to match up the emotion of the words as much as possible. Or being creative when not.

 

My problem is this - while i can play the vo files using Miles Sound tools, I cannot open the files in an editing program to do the actual splicing.

 

Can anyone advise on how to do this? Do i need to convert the files, if so into what and how?

 

Like i said, I am new to this and am pretty much learning as i go (the last time i did anything like this was way back in college and that was with tape reels and a scalpel!) so any and all advise would be greatly appreciated.

 

Or you could just point and laugh , that'd be fun too ^^

What you need to do is take the sound file you want to edit and change the extension (.wav) and rename it to .mp3. Make sure you have windows set to show file extensions.

Once you've renamed it to .mp3 use miles sound tools to un-compress the file. It will create a new file that is actually a .wav file. Then use whatever sound editing program you prefer to edit it.

Thank you, i will try that and let you know how it goes

or you can remove the fake header from file and use the mp3 file for editing without needing to uncompress it first

kotorwav2mp3 input [output]

 

if output isn't specified it defaults to input with .mp3 extension

to process multiple files you have to use batch file

something like this probably works:

@ECHO OFF
FOR %%i IN (*.wav) DO kotorwav2mp3 %%i 

 

I might modify the program to accept multiple files as input when I get back home in few days
