So, first off, great mod and thank you for what you do. It would be nice if in the MCM there was a way to sample the voice audios as you select them. Maybe adding an MCM selection that will play a short greeting audio so the user can hear the voice pack tone they are selecting? and maybe adding each voice sets ingame abilities for shouts/greetings/and combat. Something like how familiar faces mod did. I'm not sure if you can with the keybind or not, I use controllers for my play so I haven't yet tried it.
Also, how about a tutorial on adding our own voice packs to your mod, it sucks if I have 2 added voice packs and only being able to use one per load. Example: I have a Geralt and Ciri playable character, but I have to disable Geralt voicepack and enable the Ciri voicepack when changing characters.
I have 9 PCHT Voice Packs ("BYO Voice") installed (via Vortex.) Simply disable one, enable another, and deploy. Then you can test the voice and dialog in-game for a few days (or less if it's really obnoxious as some are) and decide if you like it. If not, lather, rinse, repeat.
Alternatively, go to ..\Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\sound\fx\PC Head Tracking\ and browse the currently active voice pack- all of the sound tracks are Windows wav files and so will play on any Windows PC by simply double-clicking them.
And final option: go to your <Vortex Staging folder>\Skyrim Special Edition\pc head tracking xxxx xxxx xxxx Voice Pack folders and try the voices there without even installing any of them.
To preview a voice pack you haven't even downloaded yet, download it manually to your desktop, use 7zip to extract it in place and dive into the extracted folders to double-click all the wav files to your heart's content. If you don't like it, no problem, just delete the 7z file and the extracted folders. If you DO like it, delete the extracted folders and drag-n-drop the 7z archive into Vortex's "Drop mods here" box, then install > enable > deploy as you do with any mod.
As far as multiple concurrent voice packs installed and assignable on a per-character basis, that's a great idea! Maybe Tooneyman or HHaleyy will implement it!
I was actually about to suggest a dropdown menu for custom voices, much like the ones this mod offers. That would be such a cool feature. I use the Lisa (from Genshin Impact) voice pack, and seeing as how I have 2B armor and weapon mods installed, it would be cool to be able to select the 2B voice for a 2B character, while still having my Lisa voice on my main girl.
