Making the AI use their correct voices... kind of

I was bored so I looked into the opponents' voices.

 

I wanted to find a way for them to use their correct voices but I couldn't do that, so I tried something different.

 

Each opponent uses a certain voice entry in the voice files (GAMEDATA -> VOICES -> VOICECx.SBK), for example Captain Redbeard always uses the 6th voice entry in the file (which is actually Johnny Thunder's voice in the first circuit's file, Baron von Barron's voice in the second circuit etc.), so I tried to edit the LEGORACE.CRB file and voice files in a way that I would put together the opponents that all use a different voice entry, so I could mod them to use their correct voices.

 

I found some combinations meeting this criteria so I became interested in seeing how many possible combinations there are. The complete list can be found below in the spoiler.

 

Also, I put together some info on the AI driver voices to make creating the list easier.

 

 

Here's the info:

  Reveal hidden contents

 

And here's the list:

It might be totally useless but it's kind of... interesting and I wanted to share this with other people.

I figured out how to fix the voices (mostly) properly a long time ago. I'm sorry I never said anything about it. (Or didn't I?)

 

In GAMEDATA\COMMON\DRIVERS.DDB, the parameter k_34 sets what voice in the SBK the driver uses. You can use that to give the racers their correct voices.

However, because there is no parameter for which SBK to use, the data of VOICEC3 will have to be copied into VOICEC1, as the game never uses VOICEC3 for some reason. This is the mod for this. I was going to a make topic for it today, but here it is instead.

Also, Johnny Thunder has no voice files. So what voice does Redbeard use…?

Johnny definitely has voice files - if you race as a character with his head you can hear the Australian inflection, and his voice matches what you hear from Redbeard. Maybe the files aren't named after him for some reason?

Wait, he does? 8S I've never heard or seen them in my entire life. Does my game just not have JT's voice files for some reason, or…?

That's his voice? I always thought it was someone else's because I couldn't find his files… which I still can't. So they're either somewhere they shouldn't be (which seems unlikely since they would probably need to be local to the SBKs, or in a shared folder,) or… they're hardcoded into the exe or something. In that case, what.

EDIT: I just opened my game and he's not making any sounds at all. So… ??? I'm pretty sure I've only ever heard NPC Redbeard using those voices.

EDIT EDIT: But then again I'm also pretty sure I did that… somehow…

TRIPLE EDIT: Okay, so I do actually have the files. I think I moved them when experimenting and never put them back. Well, thanks for making me check.

You can set Circuit 7 to use voicec3, as I just discovered today:

 

There will be a file called RACEC3R0.RAB in /GAMEDATA/RACEC3R0/.

Open this file with the LR1 Binary Editor and you'll see a heading called k_3D and underneath it will name "voiceC1" as the voices for the racers in this circuit. Simply change it to voiceC3 under this header and you're good to go.

Thank you so much for this! Been trying to find a way to fix the AI voices for ages, haha

 

I did notice that the AI will always start with a lvl 1 speed boost after I installed this mod. Is there a way to reverse this in particular?

Yep! Go into your DRIVERS.DDB file and under the k_2E header is the turbo start ratio for each character. Change it to whatever you want.

 

Example, if you wanted Captain Redbeard to have a 50% chance of starting with a turbo, simply change that value to 50 - it's between 0 and 100.
