I was wondering if anyone out there might be able to help a little. At the moment, there are two phrases in the character voice sounsets that I cannot figure out what is being said. This is for a little pet project I am playing around with. I am trying to determine what is said for the Female Noble Scholar - Cuss and the Female Innocent Idealist Cuss. I just can’t seem to make out what they are saying. If anyone out there could help, I appreciate it. And, they’re not in the dialog.tlk. Already thought of that.
Thanx for any help.

Heya!
All you need to do is to find ResRef for your soundsets - it’s vs_FELTOORF for Noble Scholar and VS_FShaldrF for Innocent Idealist.
The second step you need to unpack …/Data/SoundSets.zip and open these soundset files (vs_FELTOORF.ssf and VS_FShaldrF.ssf) with SSFEditor.
Next step is looking for needed String Refs, in our case:
Noble Scholar - Cuss - 51 220
Innocent Idealist - Cuss - 51 506
And the last step is finding the corresponding row in …\NWN2\dialog.tlk with tlk editor. But for some reason there’s no subtitles for voice sets in NWN2, the corresponding strings are empty. Luckily they exist in NWN1’s.dialog.tlk
Noble Scholar - 51220 - By all that is… Ugh!
Innocent Idealist - 51 506 - Well buttons and barndoors!

Kewl. Thanx. I’ve actually never played with NWN1 scripting and such. I also knew they weren’t in the Dialog.tlk for NWN2, that’s why I was asking, so thanx!

Here’s one for you: What about locating sound files that seem to be missing from a particular soundset? The Female Guardian Reserved soundset seems to be missing the “Good Idea” sound file, called vs_fRangerF_good. I can’t seem to locate this anywhere. Just a minor annoyance, but in my head, I need to find it. Any thoughts?
Hmmm… It looks like they’ve cut some lines from NWN2 for some unknown reason. But because most NWN2 voice sets came from NWN1 you can find them there (I’ve checked it on Female Guardian Reserved).

Where are they located? I went looking, but can’t seem to locate them. I have the Enhanced Edition from Steam. NWN2 I have from GOG, so they install differently and while I can find the NWN1 directories, I can’t seem to locate the soundsets.
Not sure if this helps:

Doesn’t look like it has what I’m looking for. Thanx.
Do you happen to know where the soundset files are for NWN1? I cannot seem to locate them. I have the NWN: EE Steam version. I have looked everywhere I can think of, but can’t seem to find those sounset files.
You can export individual files via the ‘NWN Explorer’ app. I use version 1.63, but maybe the latest ‘NWN Explorer Reborn’ is better?
But I don’t know where the NWN soundset files are? What directory? I cannot seem to find them.
From what I understand they are in .bif files in the NWN install folder. These are similar to .hak files that are readable by the explorer. Inside the explorer, for example, is data\sounds.bif, data\xp1_sounds.bif, and so forth. Just use ctrl-s to search for the name. Left-click the file, right-click, then export.
