NEVERWINTER NIGHTS - VOICE SET - "MINSC" (PLUS ADDITIONS)
Version 1.0, 13/01/2003 by Thinker (rcb1974@yahoo.com)
====================================================================
MODIFIED BY CHOKRA BROODSLAYER March 28, 2004.

Note: In addition, there is one called Barbarian, but is another "Ranger" voice type when you call it up in the character creation voiceset options in the game.
This new set has all of the game voicesets for NPCs, some monsters, Minsc, plus this new barbarian voice set.


Introduction
------------
This is a custom voice set that players can select when creating new characters.  This particular set is made using a collection of Minsc's sounds which are taken from the original Baldur's Gate series (both BG1, TOSC, BG2, and TOB).  In case you don't know about Minsc, he was a humorous chaotic good ranger NPC who frequently spoke of his beloved pet hamster (named "Boo") that he kept in his inventory.


How I created this voice set
----------------------------
I created this voice set by extracting all the character .wavc audio files from the Baldur's gate series *.bif files using DragonUnpacker (http://drgsoft.free.fr/)

Then I used the Infinity Sound Converter (http://www.teambg.com/?page=tools/othertools) to convert the .wavc files into .wav files.  I then followed the CUSTOM SOUNDSET TUTORIAL written by gareth_krantz@hotmail.com on how to create custom voice sets.  The hardest part in making this voice set was listening to every .wavc to find Minsc's sounds.  Then I had to select the most appropriate of those sounds for Neverwinter Night actions (like attack, flee, rest, etc.).  I think I did a pretty good job all things considered.  You be the judge :)

Also, I highly recommend you download the Baldur's Gate portraits pack from http://www.insomniax.net/downloads/downloads.html#NWN for use in Neverwinter Nights.  The Baldur's Gate portraits look even better than most of the NWN portraits in my opinion.


Installation
------------
1) If the \override\soundset.2da file exists, then rename it to soundset.2da.bak.

2) Extract the contents of the nwn-minsc_voiceset.rar into your Neverwinter Nights installation directory.


Uninstallation
--------------
1)  Delete *\override\soundset.2da, and if the file soundset.2da.bak exists, rename it to soundset.2da

2)  Delete all the files in your *\override\ directory that start with "vs_frminscm".  There should be a total of 50 such files.


How to use the voice set
------------------------
Just create a new character and select the voice set named "Ranger, Warden".


Notes
-----
This module has been tested with Neverwinter Nights version 1.27.  It should work with any version, but I haven't tested it with other versions.

I might release other Baldur's gate voice sets for NWN.  Stay tuned!
