Hey @simmythesim ,
Answers,
1) Correct, this is defined by the prefix. There are a few prefixes that are considered voices:
vo_, voe_, babyvox_, voc_, voec_2) For “vo” samples, names can be determined follows: Append the sim type and voice type to the sample name. These map to what was chosen in the UI when creating the Sim:
CA = Child voice 1
CB = Child voice 2
FA = Female Voice 1
FC = Female Voice 2
FD = Female Voice 3
MA = Male Voice 1
MB = Male Voice 2
MC = Male Voice 3
PA = Toddler Voice 1
TFA = Teen female Voice 1
TFC = Teen female Voice 2
TFD = Teen female Voice 3
TMA = Teen male Voice 1
TMB = Teen male Voice 1
TMC = Teen male Voice 1
So for example
vo_mentor_cook_recommendspice might become
vo_mentor_cook_recommendspice_fa. Then look at the audio configuration file (type
0xfd04e3be) with this hash. BT file is here: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/879089. The “samples” data in this resource contains the actual instances of the samples. Multiple samples exist just for variation so that if the user performs the same action back to back they don’t hear the same sample over and over.
These file types are similar type of thing but have additional naming conventions for generating the file names, I can provide those if needed:
- “voe” : Emotional variation added to the name, in addition the sim type and name.
- “voc”: Toddler samples impacted by communication skill level.
- “voec”: Toddler samples impacted by communication skill level and emotion.
