Zens ExpansionAI Audio

Turn your server into a Bethesda game with this mod!

This mod adds voiced audio to ExpansionAI. It works with bots, quests and traders.

It obviously requires ExpansionAI and/or ExpansionQuests and/or ExpansionMarket OR just ExpansionBundle to work, and intimate knowledge of the config process for Expansion will help greatly.

This mod provides some templates for adding your own voices to quests, traders and AI bots - but it comes with very basic limited voice files.

My server has 60mb of voice dialogue for 40+ quests, several traders and a bunch of patrol AI bots, but all my audio is specific to my server and my quests so I didn't include all of them in this mod.

You will have to do the work to record and set up your own audio to suit your server - but the templates here are very easy to work with, especially for quests.

I've put together a video guide and a GitHub wiki guide to explain how to get your own quest, trader and AI bot audio working on your server.

Here is the wiki guide:

This mod has some limitations (eg. does not currently work with ExpansionTraderAI types) and can be a bit tricky to set up for specific NPCs, but it's open-source so feel free to modify the code if you need to, and the guides and example templates are as detailed as possible to help you get started.

The sound files only play client-side based on your specific behaviour/actions, so other players can't hear you interacting with NPCs. For quests & traders it would be a nightmare to have it play for all nearby players constantly so I kept everything client-side - the only thing that the server syncs to all clients is the character's mouth moving when speaking to a player as that was the only way I could manage to get their mouths to work.


Install this mod like any other mod - copy it into your server folder and add it to your mods list. Make sure to copy the .bikey into your server keys if you're not using a server management tool like OmegaManager which does that automatically.

This mod must be installed on both server and client.

There are no types or anything like that, but there is a JSON config file that will be generated in "server_profiles/ExpansionMod/Settings/ZenExpansionAudioAI.json" - there are instructions on what this file does in my GitHub wiki guide.

This mod requires ExpansionBundle https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2572331007 OR one or more of the following mods:
ExpansionAI - https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2792982069
ExpansionQuests - https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2828486817
ExpansionMarket - https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2572328470


You will need to repack this mod to add your own audio files.

As with all my mods, repacking, modifying, republishing etc is fine.

The source code is on my GitHub at www.zenarchist.io


All my mods are free and open source, but it takes an enormous amount of time to put some of these mods together. If I've helped you out, please consider helping me buy my next coffee! I don't expect it, but I very much appreciate it.
