Batch #30 - 10 voices; Fallout 4 : Alternative Player Voices; +1 new game

Added 2021-11-05 18:07:23 +0000 UTC

The voices from the first v2 poll is here! This covers the top voted voices from Poll #30, one of the requested voices, and some re-trained v1 voices. The list:

- Skyrim: Brynjolf
- Skyrim: Hadvar
- Fallout 3: Harkness
- Baldur's Gate: Narrator (BG3)
- Mass Effect: Kelly
- (requested) Fallout 76: MaleGenericSettler02

Re-trained from v1 to v2:
- Fallout 4: Supermutant
- Fallout 4: MaleGhoul
- Fallout 4: FemaleGhoul
- Mass Effect: FemaleShepard

This now brings the total of v2 voices at 21, as I've also updated Skyrim: FemaleNord to v2 recently, straight to Nexus. I've been working hard on the training scripts still, and I've been pushing it more and more. The training speed, and quality have both been somewhat upgraded over the last few days.

The Narrator voice now brings game support for Baldur's Gate. I already pre-emptively added the asset file in the v2.0 build, so it should be ready to go!

I've also started making use of some new AI based data pre-processing scripts, which I'll maybe write up a post about soon (just started - next batch will see the effects). These have also now been added to xVATrainer, for which Step 1 is now nearly complete.

Finally, I thought I'd take the .lip and .fuz plugin for a spin, along with some of the v2 models. I made a mod for Fallout 4 that replaces the male/female player voices with one of: Ghoul, Gen1Synth, or Supermutant. Check out the showcase video for this above, where I demo some conversations.

I've also posted the batch files I made for this on the mod page, with (quite brief and simple) instructions such that anyone can very easily repeat it, if they want the same for a different voice (from Fallout 4 or otherwise).

You can find the mod here: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/54894

If you missed it, I've just posted the v2.0.4 patch, which included quite a few fixes, especially for s2s.

Finally, I've had something pretty cool in the works, for the last couple of months, which has finally come through for me, so expect an announcement post for it quite soon, as well as the next poll.
