Extracting Sounds.

[WitchGirl]

Hello.

 

I want to extract the raw sound/dialogue files from the Skyrim - Voices.bsa file, and despite my best attempts I have not been able to do so.

 

My ultimate desire is to access the base dialogue files so that I can, using my audio editing experience cut up the vanilla dialogue lines such as "I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee." and use the basic sounds to twist it into something else like "I like your ass." If I can get this to work I might be able to use the vanilla voice acting to voice any mods we like. ^.^

 

 

I have attempted using the recently released creation kit, but as I am an utter novice modder I don't know if there's actually a way for it to extract the sound files as sound files so that I could cut them up and sew them back together.

 

I've also tried using the .Fuz Extractor from Nexus, but I can't seem to get it to work for me due to my lack of experience with command script I can't seem to get it to work.

 

I've also tried using the Skyrim Sound Tools also from the Nexus, but while that was able to extract the files from the .bsa files but they come out as .fuz files so without being able to get the .fuz extractor working I can't get at those files anymore than I could when they were in the .bsa Frustrating I know.

 

So; I humbly come to you the handsome and mighty Lovers Lab technical support thread. Could you lend me some support?

I have been using SkyrimAudioConverter.exe which seems to do pretty well for this, should be able to google it.

Thank you both for all your help, it's been, actually helpful. Now I just face the daunting task of manually extracting the sound files one by one... The Skyrim Sound Tools seems to work fine for turning .Fuz into .xwm and .lip in bulk, but doesn't seem to enjoy extracting .xwm to .wav in large groups. Or maybe because I asked it to do the .Fuz in groups of like 100, it messed up some of the .xwm and that's why it doesn't like doing them.

Either way it works.
