Voice Acted Colonists

This is a complete rework of the mod Voice-Acted Radio Chatter, by Ouroboros and Taranchuk. Redesigned for increased compatibility and flexibility!

Each colonist can be assigned a Voice in the mod settings! When they perform certain Actions, a sound at their location will be played.

Action Types

• Select: when you click a colonist at any given moment.

• Attack: when you draft and command a colonist to attack something.

• Death: when a colonist dies.

• Downed: when a colonist is downed.

• Move: when a colonist is drafted and forced to move to some location.

• DowningPawn: when another pawn gets downed by a colonist.

• Pain: when a colonist receives damage.

• Hit: when a colonist hits something.

Event Sounds

If you get a raid, a manhunter pack, a prison break, a Zzzt event, or more situations, a sound will be played! Just like the original mod did.

Extra features in Mod Settings!

• Radio click: automatically add a radio-click "ON" and "OFF" sound to all voices! Or disable it if you want! (Note: if this option is enabled, it might increase lag when a sound is played).

• Mute voice: none of the voices convice you for a colonist? then don't give them any!

• Volume: a slider to increase or decrease the volume of all voices.

• Cooldown: voices playing too frequently? Increase cooldown time so the voices will be played more separately.

• Voice play chance (%): add some randomness to reduce predictability.

• Preview button: when selecting a voice, you can click this button and get an idea of what the voice sounds like.

• Randomize button: too busy to choose a voice? click this and get a random one!

• Extensive sorting options: Sort by gender, category, or source mod!

Future plans

More Action Types and sub-mods from specific franchises containing several, SEVERAL voices for you to pick!

Want to add your own voices? No problem!

This mod was designed specifically to make the addition of new voices as easy as possible! You can reverse-engineer this mod to check how the Defs are structured, and/or check our guide in the Discord server! (the guide is too big to be posted here)

Q: My colonists are not talking! A: Check the volume, chance and cooldown settings. check if colonists are assigned the "Mute" voice. Lastly, on occasion the voice-packs may have failed to load due to mod swapping or excessive RAM usage. Dev mode will show this on startup and Restarting Rimworld will fix it.

Q: Update X Voice-Pack to 1.6 please! A: Voice-Packs are just Asset Libraries. All previous versions still function as normal.

Q: I found a bug/error! A: Please provide either a "Player.log" or a Hugslib log and a detailed explanation of what happened before posting any errors.

Q: I have a suggestion! A: Leave it in the comment section, make a thread, or join the Discord server and post it there!

Q: How many voices are included? A: Around 10. This mod just serves as a base for submods to add their own VoicePacks.

Q: Where are the voices from? A: The current mod adds voices from Half-Life 2 mostly.

Q: I am having a lot of lag when a voice is played! A: Disable the "Radio Click" toggle option in mod settings.
