This mod gives your normally silent player character a voice, allowing them to verbally react to your actions and whatever is happening to them (being eaten alive by bugs for example). This works in multiplayer as well, and each player can use their own voice pack.

I've created a few example voicepacks that you can use and I've made it as easy as possible for you to create your own voicepacks.

Please refer to the source code for help with leveraging this mod to create your own voice packs.

Limitations

• Factorio (at least as of version 1.1.76) doesn't allow a mod to play a sound and have that sound "follow" a position. So if you're playing a long running voice line, and your character is moving around, eventually it won't sound as though your character was saying the line anymore (you'll be hearing the sound from where the character was not where they are). I can't do anything about that other than ask the Factorio devs to work on this feature that will probably only be useful for this mod :)...
• All voicepack names must be unique (you can't have two voices named "arnold" for example). This shouldn't be too hard to fix.
• For now, this mod only works with .ogg sound files despite Factorio working with .wav and .voc files. Again, this is relatively arbritrary but made things simpler for me when I was putting this mod together. With a little effort I can fix this.
