If you have an eleven labs account (which is free but can be paid for more features), You may want to add more voices to different broadcasts.

This will be a quick guide explaining my process.


You will need:

1. Python.
   
2. An Eleven Labs account.
   
3. Internet connection.
   
4. VS code (recommended)

First, you need to find the broadcastID you want to change. Go to media/radio/RadioData.xml

There, if you scroll down, you will see every transcript of every program. Most of them are inside ChannelEntrys (which says to which radio / TV it belongs to)

Find a BroadcastEntry you want to voice, which contains LineEntries.

The ID of the BroadcastEntry is the broadcastID, and will be the name of the audio file generated.


Go to your Eleven Labs account, and press your picture.

Select profile, and it should you your API Key.

Once you have both IDs, go to automation/config.txt and write them in the appropriate places.


With python/vscode, run the script VoiceBroadcast.py in the main folder.

It will search for the broadcast ID. if found and already voiced, It will tell you, and ask you if you want to continue or not.

Then, it will show you a transcript of what is said, colored and with the voice numbers on the left.

It will ask you to continue. Before doing that, you should head to config.txt again (if it is your first time) and make sure that the voices numbers are the ones you want and are configured correctly.

I left a cast.txt file, which says which voices I used for different characters.

You can use any voice you want, including Instant made (if you have premium). Feel free to add your own voice!

Finally, you should ALWAYS check the script.

Head into automation/tmp. there should be a transcript.txt. Open it and check the script. This are the lines that will be sent to Eleven labs. You may sometimes want to change them a little, to make it sound better.

For instance:

{Voice2}If a line is...
{Voice2}... separated like this

Will generate a weird stop in the words between "is" and "separated". I advice removing the dots, or moving "is" to the line below.

Also, You can add any sound effect. For instance, in woodcraft:

{Voice5}*bang* *bang*

Is not a voice saying bang bang, its hammer noises. Well, in automation/SoundEffects I left all the effects I used, and for hammer noises I used hammernail.ogg

You can change the line to this

{hammernail.ogg}*bang* *bang*

And instead of sending the line to Eleven Labs, it will play the .ogg file instead.

You can also add both lines and sound effects

{Voice2}{lightswitch.ogg}Let's turn on the lights

Will first read the line with the voice, then play the lightswitch sound.

You can concatenate any number of audios, but bear in mind the line should total at most 5 seconds, so avoid making it too long.

Always place the items in between brackets "{}" before the line

You can add any sound effect you want. just drop it on automation/SoundEffects, and make sure it is an .ogg file

Finally,once everything is ready, Go back to the console and write "continue"

It will calulate how many characters it will cost you from ElevenLabs, and ask you to continue again.

THIS IS YOUR FINAL CHANCE TO CHECK THAT EVERYTHING IS CORRECT

Once you are ready, write continue, and wait. After some time it should finish, and it will print an array showing the length of every line. Try keeping them below 5 seconds if possible.

You can now see the results. Either by playing the game, or playing the sound directly from media/sound/Broadcasts/{BROADCAST_ID}.ogg
