Adds a Voiced Dispatcher using a TTS model. They will tell you about your jobs, cars, speed limit violations, and welcome you to stations.
The release of this mod is a bit rushed, as I've been running out of time and motivation, so there will be some bugs and inconsistencies.
If you notice a bug, or have and idea of what new triggers/voicelines I should add, leave a post!
Note this version is SUBJECT TO CHANGE, and NOT READY for submods and translations. Hopefully it will get there in the future.
You can switch to a new comms radio mode which has the voiced dispatcher features.
Available features:
- Job Helper (current job read, completion)
- Sign Helper (speed limit signs read, speeding warnings, derailment checks)
- Station Helper (station arrival welcome, highest paying jobs read)
- Car Helper (point radio to car to describe it, its job)
To edit lines, you can make a copy of lines.json and set the new name in mod settings.
To change TTS model, download it and set the new path in mod settings.
