Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw VoicePack (Should work with WOTC)

Description
For all you ZP fans out there, here is a man who says "bollocks" a lot.

I made this by recording samples of his voice in ZP game reviews. More than 300 lines were used, from reviews starting at 2013 (pretty much all reviews between his The Bureau and XCOM 2 were used).

The reason I didn't use more videos is because, while watching him is fun, watching him and pausing every few seconds to record something is not so much fun.

That said, I do plan in adding up more lines in the future.

I did ask Yahtzee for permission over Twitter as a courtesy (its his voice, after all), but he didn't answer. I don't blame him, he must get hundreds of tweets, and I doubt he even saw mine.

If he's against this mod for whatever reason, just send me a message and I'll remove it. (Or rather, I'll change all lines to "silence" as not to break anyone's save.)


UPDATE:

-Added 60 new lines, but won't add anymore. Sound quality really goes down if you go beyond 2013 for Yahtzee clips, and the new lines would sound weird when put next to the old ones.

-Increased volume multiplier to 1.5 (it was originally 0.75, then 1, but apparently wasn't enough). I tested the preview, comparing it to default voices previews, and they seem to be on the same level now.


UPDATE 08/09/2017 (regarding WotC):

I just bought War of the Chosen and tested this mod. At the first boot, the voice didn't show up, but after actually starting a new game, playing a little, and then entering character creator again, the voice appeared on the list.

There IS a warning on the modlist, saying that the mod was not made for War of the Chosen. That's because is was not, in fact, made for War of the Chosen. That said, as far as I'm aware, it also doesn't conflict with WotC at all.

For now, I'll just leave the mod as-is, since it apparently works. If anyone gets any errors, please send me a message and I'll look into it.

@Big Red

Aww man, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I don't even know how to do that :/

I followed a tutorial for making the voicepack, and anything outside that tutorial is just greek to me.

(Also I sort of lost all the voiceclips after my PC crash and burned, tho I think there should be a way to extract them from the mod)

Was thinking about doing this myself. Now I don't have to, yay!

I thought about that, but he doesn't seem to be speaking in his ZP persona in there (as in, he talks much slower). I suppose I could create a secondary file for people who don't mind stuff from his slower paced videos.
