vocaloid or ai voice acting
« on: November 21, 2024, 07:21:08 AM »
would it be posible to make a mod that adds a narator to the game, by using either a vocaloid or ai. i have no clue how that would work or how hard i would be, however it would be cool

A lot of mods for other games use one of the voice imitation models for things like that. It'd bloat file size, but it can definitely be done.

there is one limitation that is present in starsector and not present in other games
namely, everything being preloaded
you can't play sounds directly from disk, it must be loaded in memory
which is already quite limited

As far as i know, one genius dude already implemented some sort of it. There is a faction mod out there - Krysan Navy, from it you can grab a special officer with a special ship, and i believe that in a combination with Combat Chatter mod this particular officer will speak out all the stuff that is shown for this officer in comchat. It is actually a job well done, as there are not only narrations of the phrases from the comchat, but also some SFX's are mixed in, so in overall it creates a genuine battle atmosphere. I was truly amazed when i first encountered this. Highly recommended to check out, the faction and ships are also good.
