Voiceset Wonkiness

[RedGiant]

For no reason I can yet fathom, several of my characters (new and old) have mysteriously changed or lost their voicesets

As an example, I have a half-orc who had an orc voice-set but who now sports some sort of giant or planar voiceset? It is the rather embarrassing one about 'cleansing taints'.

I also have a long-term plain ole' human, who had what I think was the neutral warrior voiceset, who now has none whatsoever.

Moreover, most characters are completely fine, so whatever is going on is really hard to narrow down.

I also don't think this is anything as simple as 'reload' the game. I play on two different computers and these changes, once made, persist, so the characters are somehow altered on the server.

Has anyone else experienced this...or better yet, resolved it? I know a DM can fix voicesets, but as this seem to keep happening I am hoping to nail down the bug and crush it.

Some new soundsets were added recently, so maybe the 2DAs were shifted around and the soundset ID of your old characters now point to a different soundset.

Here's hoping that soon your soundset taint shall be cleansed.

if the 2DAs were recently updated, I'd bet this is out of date. Is there any newer reference material here?

I'd like to know what to ask for before bothering the DM Team.

I'm looking at the history of soundset.2da edit on the Arelith server side and the last one from before the latest update was in 2023. There are no significant shifts in any of the voice sets other than a handful being disabled from showing up in character creation (they still technically exist).

Can you look into your override (or ovr) or development folder in Neverwinter Nights (document and/or main install path) and check if you have any custom soundset.2da files in there? Or perhaps any soundset related workshop items you may have subscribed to?

Also, the soundset page on wiki will be updated shortly.

Ah, I think I do have the portraits and soundset.2da which opened all the choices back in the day. This could be the culprit? Maybe has me choosing wrong?
