About this mod

A complete replacement of voice lines for vo_f_bear02, with Bullet Girl Phantasia VO Ladoria. About 300 lines in Japanese, with added radio filter SFX. The JP lines have been carefully chosen to fit their replacement based on sound and mood, they are not accurate translations!

A complete replacement of voice lines for vo_f_bear02, with Bullet Girl Phantasia VO Ladoria.

Each Bullet Girls Phantasia VO folder has over 800 files in three separate categories (battle, jinmon, ui), and each Battletech VO folder usually has around 300. I don't speak Japanese so I determined by mood and sound what the appropriate replacement line should be. I imagine for those who are fluent in Japanese that this will be a confusing and immersion breaking experience!

Changing these files is painstakingly tedious work... It involves listening to each line, of which there is usually 300, one by one and then working my way through the BGP VO character that has been chosen, which has around 800-1000 voice lines. After ripping the raw sound files and sorting them into each folder and subfolder, I batch applied a radio filter to add to the immersion. This is a very long winded process but hopefully it results in a quality mod that people will enjoy. 

EDIT: It was a cool concept but given the amount of work versus reward I'm not going to continue with the project, I also burnt out on Battletech, uninstalled the game and deleted all the files that I had prepared for the other packs, ça va sans dire 

I intend to work my way through every female VO in the game, there are 13 in total (ignoring vo_computer). I've listened to each BGP character and picked an appropriate 'tone' to fit each female VO in BT. There are 14 BGP characters so I had to drop one, for those who are familiar with the game it's Merrina, who doesn't happen to fit anyway which is a good result. Here is the line up.

vo_f_bear02 - Ladoria - COMPLETE
vo_f_creep01 - Saki
vo_f_glum01_russian - Tsukiyo
vo_f_kamea - Silvia
vo_f_overload01 - Remi
vo_f_pro01 - Mai
vo_f_pro01_brit - Yurina
vo_f_pro02_asian - Aya
vo_f_pro02_irish - Sarria
vo_f_pro04_midwest - Aki
vo_f_pro05_tanesha - Haldina
vo_f_pro06_tough - Minagi
vo_f_pro07 - Farren


You can listen to a small selection of lines for each character on this website: https://www.d3p.co.jp/bulletgirls_p/character/

NOTE: When you are in the mech warriors screen in game and you select a warrior, they'll throw out a generic line in their chosen voice. Don't be alarmed if a pilot with vo_f_bear02 chirps back with unmodified English dialog. The VO lines only apply in deployment. I spend some time digging through all the other .bnk files, ripping and converting into audio just to gauge what function they served and I'm certain it's dialog_sim, but there are 463 lines of dialog and I'm not even thinking about dealing with that yet. Although it is worth noting that a lot of the lines heard in the Argo are in this file, barks over radio and vo for the ship characters. Might be worth doing down the line if I don't burn out first...

This mod pairs very well with Waifu Warfare - A Military Themed Anime Stylized Portrait Collection by Syad51, I also recommend you use the BattleTech Save Editor (https://www.nexusmods.com/battletech/mods/408) to apply the voices accurately
