Hi, BMac! Sooo... After today's official Turn-Base mode annoucement, can you confirm that "OverrideDescriptionTactical" - is overriding descriptions of abilities in TB mode? Just for sure, you know

[BMac]

Haha, yes, "Tactical Mode" is used in the code and the data to refer to turn-based mode.  Remember that the game does automatically generate strings for status effects (not abilities, though), so you only have to use that if it doesn't do what you want.

[Phenomenum]

Ok, thank you. I've suspected it

Can't wait to see TB mode. I hope, you will provide some helping advices in case of unexpedted difficulties with overriding. Keep up the good work, guys!

@Bmac Can we possibly mod the player voice track? Ideally the same for Companions as well.

 

There is a real concept here as we can pick up all the text + tie them to the vocals so potentially I could have ME doing the voice and depending on how dedicated you are to the game friends and family voicing the companions.

 

I'll be releasing a website in February that auto-generates a Mod that overrides the main Player, Companion, Followers and NPCs with AI added after (funding required)

 

If you have any ideas for POE2 Multi Player I would love to be kept in the loop (I'll need to modify my stuff so ppl can share images)

 

I know I'm giving you little detail but I don't know how to handle future enhancements yet so can't

 

I'm working on NWN:EE as well - that's a LOT harder

[BMac]

Yes, you can change voice audio, though it doesn't support the override directory. The files are in 'Pillars of Eternity II\PillarsOfEternityII_Data\StreamingAssets\Audio\Windows\Voices\English(US)', and player voice sets have the player_ prefix. You need to build the audio into the wem format with Wwise, which is free, but only for non-commercial use.

Thanks @bmac

 

That's cool but although I can take a MP3 and convert it to a WEM it would be better is I could take a voice

 

My desire is to let the player record their own voice and replace the audio track

 

So, much in the same way I can Mod override/gui/portraits/* I'd like an audio version

 

 

I don't imagine this a HUGE task

 

My aim is to be non-destructive

 

Still want the multi-player concept answering...

@BMac

Is WeaponAttackAbilityComponent.ApplyEffectsToPrimaryOnly what governs whether or not attack abilities work with AoE weapons like Rot Skulls or Hand Mortar? I looked through the abilities.gamedatabundle in the latest update and all of those are set to "false" even though the latest update removed AoE attack abilities - so I should set to true, right? Am I looking in the right place?
