Restoration Project Update - Talking Heads Addon​

Hi everyone,

This is an Addon I'm working on that adds Talking Heads (animated portraits like Sulik's) to relevant characters for the Fallout 2 Restoration Project Update mod which can be found here: https://github.com/BGforgeNet/Fallout2_Restoration_Project



So far this is a work in progress that I'll be updating as frequently as I can, I'm always open for character suggestions :grin:.

How do you install this?

Simply extract the talking_head.dat file into the "Mods" folder in the Fallout 2 directory (where the .exe is present). You must have the RPU mod installed first.

Are any of these voiced?

No unfortunately, although I have figured out how to do it. Sadly the lip syncing process is very tedious as the program to make LIP files isn't very good.

Any more plans for this mod?

Although I have almost added all the characters I wanted, I will update this sporadically and
maybe add voice lines for some characters.

Quincy, Raul, Chris, Xarn, Thomas Moore and Old Joe. Fixed various talking animation issues.

Now added Metzger! Used Continuum's original art as an inspiration.

Biggest update so far, added all bosses from New Reno plus Elise (the Ranger chief) from NCR.

Even bigger update :lol: added many new characters, now almost every major location has at least a couple of NPCs with a portrait!

Updates might slow down a little as I may be working on a different project, always Fallout related ;)

Hey this is awesome! Just make sure you do one for every single character in the game hahaha. ;)
 
That's awesome, dude! This is really something the original game should have. And the quality of your models is very professional. Did you make them from scratch?
I'm already using them. And, just a personal opinion, I would prefer Rebecca's model on Miria, since her design is, you know, hotter :3 But the one you made for her is pretty good too. Also, will you do the heads for Leslie and Angela?

Here you go man, just for you an addon that replace's Miria head with Rebecca's :D Just extract it in the mods folder!
Miria was actually the first one I made so the quality is a bit lower lol

I actually already made them, together with McClure from Vault City. Unfortunately the game would bug out when I changed their script so I had to scrap them.
This is what they looked like:

I'm not exactly a professional programmer, but I'm kinda good at debugging codes. So if you want help to fix the bugs with those other chars, or similar stuff, I'll be glad to help.

Wow thank you! I appreciate that, Fallout 2 code is quite odd but if can make heads and tails of it I'd really appreciate it. Once I get back to my pc I'll try to show you what the problem is :-D​

Thank you so much!!! Recently I get FO2 from my old harddisk and have been playing it for a while now. Just found out about RP would like to give it a try. Then I see your talking head mod, this is what it should be in the original game!!
However, I do not find a "mods" folder under my FO2 folder. I havent use any mod before, could you give me a light how to get your mod works?
 
Of course I'll help!
Download the Restorarion Project mod I linked in the main post. Once you install it there will be a "mods" folder on the Fallout 2 directory, then download the Talking Heads mods and extract the "talking_heads.dat" file into the "mods" folder.
 
This is so great that we have a new mod project for one of the old Fallout games AND it is not some huge TC that will never get finished or in Russian so I can't read it. Never quit.

:monocle:

Angela looks AMAZING!

@QuantumApprentice

I figured you should come and take a bow.

Gotta start a new game and enjoy FO2 with your talking head mod!! Thank you so much for bringing this to this classic game!!!

Ok, we can discuss this here or on discord, if you prefer, my account is: HullaBaloo#6056
Also, your mod gave me an idea. Well, I am not sure if you intend to add sounds and lipsync to your project. (Or I guess, in this game is it just a simple mouth animation? Not sure ^^". But anyway) If you do, it won't be that hard to get the voices. I'm doing some tests on those deep learning texts to speech software, and some of them are getting VERY GOOD at it. Have a look at them if you haven't already. Here is an example I made for Miria:
https://v3.fastupload.co/file/13119
I used 15.ai for that. And of course, if you want, I'd be happy to help you with that too :)

Great work. Really. I'm definitely going to add these to my mod when I'm able to return to it.

Do you have any plans to create any non-human NPCs?

Wow please do, I love the Megamod! Could I make some THs for characters like Klint and Humphrey Snag that I could send you?

For the next update I was planning on doing some NPCs from Broken Hills since they have a lot of Ghouls and Mutants
