About this mod

Replaces the US/UK accents of many international NPCs with ones that sound *slightly* more fitting. Now includes Japanese speaking NPCs in Hokkaido!

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
Yes, like majority of mods these days, it works online. Install using Simple Mod Framework.

Future Updates (No timeframe, could be a while)
  • Attempt to add Italian language voice sets to Sapienza

Changelog

Version 1.6 - Re-structure and American Variety (27 Jan '24)
  • Replaces RPKG copy script (take seconds to deploy) with dependencies (takes minutes to deploy)
  • Replaces some raw files with QN patches to reduce ‘warnings’
  • Train and USA maps now include ALL civ and guard voices across S1 and S2+, instead of them being separate (Welcome to Seasons 2 and 3, Yuri Lowenthal!). Some maps IO has chosen to manually specify the voices of 90% of NPCs (Colorado and New York) and I have not overwritten at this stage as it would require me checking hundreds of NPCs to see if they have dialogue or not.
  • Enables AutoUpdates (You still need to grab this version from Nexus)

Version 1.5.1 - Japanese scripted dialogue (16 May '23)
  • Hokkaido: Japanese language dialogue added where considered more appropriate than English (Selection/compilation by Dreant, conversion by 2kpr)
  • Hokkaido: More NPCs given Japanese language voicesets, Master mode guards US voices removed
  • Season One: US/UK voice civilians now have 10-11 voices each instead of 4

Version 1.5.0 - Guard Lines for All (lines added by Blooper Reel) (29 Mar '23)
  • Guard lines added for: Mendola, Stuyvesant, Janus, Strandberg, Maelstrom
  • Sentries replaced with more fitting voices on: Berlin, Paris, Marrakesh, Dubai
  • Marrakesh: Bodyguards (Black suits) no longer American, apart from ones in AHBOS which have scripted lines. Percentage of guards using Maelstrom’s voice increased.

Version 1.4.2 - Fast Deploy (7 Feb '23)
  • Decreases deploy time significantly
  • Dubai: Lower level guards are now 1/4 Middle-eastern sounding (Still no guard lines for them, so they won’t be perfect)

Version 1.4 - Asian Guard Lines (20 Jul '22)
  • Global: Non-Japanese Asian Male voices now have guard lines (thanks to SDEF rebuilding format by 2kpr); meaning they now interact with radio/civilians/other guards/you at sentry zones instead of staying silent
  • Global: Aforementioned voicesets no longer constantly touch their earpiece repeatedly
  • Bangkok: Indian sentries replaced with South-East Asian sentries
  • Bangkok - The Source: A woman named “Karl” no longer has a male voice
  • Meta: File size reduced by 100mb, some dependencies used

Version 1.3.1 - Japanese Guard Lines in Hokkaido (23 Feb '22)
  • Further adds 1x JP Guard voiceset to Hokkaido (Sentry lines etc work)
  • Makes all bodyguard sentries have the JP guard voice (No more Indian-sounding sentries)
  • Makes all non-white Bodyguards, Chefs and Handymen speak Japanese since they’re mainly not customer-facing roles
  • Slightly moves the balance of other professions to have more JP speakers.

Version 1.3 - Japanese Language in Hokkaido (20 Feb '22)
- HOKKAIDO: 2x Male and 1x Female Japanese-speaking voicesets (Courtesy of 2kpr!) added to Hokkaido's non-patient voices. ~1/4 of staff will speak Japanese. Story lines are currently not overridden, may change in future.
- HOKKAIDO - NO ENGLISH: Optional file to make 100% of males and 60% of female staff speak Japanese language. Even though it's meant to be a facility catering to English-speaking clients...
- Adds most of the mod's voicesets to Globaldata.brick so in future I don't need to mod every map's sounddefs.brick. This is a back end thing players will not notice.


Version 1.2.1a - Paris Hotfix (6 Jan '22)
Restores the European voices to low level guards in Paris. It was accidentally removed in compatibility conversion. Delete the "Paris" folder inside your "Accent Overhaul" folder, and replace it with this "Paris" folder! Low level frisk guards are now British voices, so the frisk lines all work but it's not the same old American voices.
You can skip this hotfix if you don't use the mod on Paris

Version 1.2.1 - Compatibility Mode (3 Jan '22)
- Re-done from scratch to be compatible in Framework with all other mods, like Lighting Ultimate and All NPCs Have Guns mods, etc
- Reduced file size (130mb smaller), but increased deployment time. It will now add up to 3.5 minutes to your deployment time. This is the price of compatibility


Version 1.2 Initial Framework Release (1 Jan '22)
- Pick and choose in Mod Manager which maps you want affected
- Currently not fully compatible with any mods that affect the NPCs on these maps. This can be remedied but will require me to re-do the mod from scratch, which will take a while. In the meantime if you load this mod first in Framework then hopefully the other mods can be slapped on top of it and be compatible.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pick and choose what changes you want:

Dubai. Guards, staff and 'traditional' guests replaced with primarily South Asian voices with one vaguely Middle Eastern voice. A small amount of guests are Multicultural
Dartmoor. Adds "new" British male voices to the pool of staff and security voices, all guard and staff voices are now British (no American). Adds some multicultural voices to Dartmoor Garden Show, including to the contestants.
Berlin. European Voices Added
Hokkaido. Guards and staff replaced with overwhelmingly South East Asian voices. Many staff and guards now speak Japanese. A small amount of guests are multicultural
Bangkok. Guards and staff replaced with mostly South East Asian voices. Some guests are multicultural.
Marrakesh. Soldiers and many Marrakesh workers + locals + protesters given mostly South Asian voices with one vaguely Middle Eastern male voice set. Market vendors have accents from across the world. Swedish consulate NPCs given primarily European voices.
Paris. French and general European voices added; most guests are unchanged but VIPs have accents replaced. Andrea Martinez now sounds like Andrea Martinez.


Accents I had to work with:

European: 4x Male, 2x Female
South East Asian: 4x Male, 3x Female
South Asian: 4x Male (3x Guard voicesets), 4x Female
Hybrid accents: 1x Male, 2x Female
Hispanic: 7x Male (2x voices are unused in this mod, 3x Guard Voicesets), 4x Female
Bonus English voices: 2x Male (1x Guard voiceset)
Japanese-speaking voices: 3x Male, 1x Female (Courtesy of help from 2kpr. More can hypothetically be ported but I don't intend to, since they come at the expense of other voice slots)


Thanks

This new version of the mod would not have been possible without Atampy26 and their QuickEntity tool. Well it could've but it would've been such a pain in the ass I wouldn't have made it. As usual thanks to Notex and [Redacted] for RPKG tool. And thanks again to 2kpr for renaming thousands of files for me so I could put Japanese speaking voices in Hokkaido :)
