!Talking Portraits Expanded - Unique Species

Description
This mod is generally meant to be a companion mod to my main mod "Talking Non-Humanoid Portrait", but it can function as a standalone as well. The goal of this mod is to seperate certain species portrait and make them use unique voices.

Contray to the main mod, this one will use english languages of various video game species if I find them fitting/funny/badass, and will not replace any other generic speicies of the same phenotypes (Which means it is compatible with the main mod)

This mod also supports custom species from other mods, below is the list of supported mods. Note that if you do not have these mods, you will get errors in the log, but it will not generally affect your game.

Protoss - https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1148241123
Elves of Stellaris - https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=915432220&searchtext=elves+of+stellaris
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background

While I am mostly comfortable with what my main mod has accomplished, I feel like certain portraits are too different to be classified on the same voices as others of their kinds. So this mod will alter it so that they will be using their own unique voices instead of using shared voices of the phenotypes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What does this mod do

1. Changes Fox's voices to Javik the Trollthean's voice. Currently have 20 lines. Mostly suited for elitist trollers.
2. Changes cat's voices to Skyrim Khajiit, 12 lines. Mostly suited for traders.
3. Changes the avian on the preview picture to use Warcraft 3 Forest Troll voices, 11 lines.
4. Changes the elves from Elves of Stellaris to use Warcraft elven languages. 30+ lines for both genders of drow and elves.
5. Changes the protoss voice from reptilian (yuck) to actual protoss voices.
6. Foundation for future unique voices.

If you're a modder who have created new species and want my mod to make them have unique voices, you can contact me.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Limitations

Atm, my first voice for the mod, Javik, is extracted from a gameplay video on youtube which has some ambient sounds in it. So you may hear the background sounds (but not very noticable if you don't try to).

Space Fox will talk pretty much like Javik all the time even if they are supposed to be Fanatic Xenophile, you'll just have to use your imagination on how their understanding of xenophilic is.

Not responsible if this mod makes you want to kill/eat/enslave them even more.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compatibility

- This mod has a built-in compatibility with Vanilla Dimorphism, so you can use that mod alongside this one.
- Compatible with my main mod, Talking Non-Humanoid Portraits.
- Overwrites 01_portraits_mammalian.txt in the gfx portrait folder.

Yeah but I think it should be a pretty easy fix in the files. I'll have to try it out.

I'm afraid to say, but this mod is now seems outdated since 3.5...
files in folder 'gfx/portraits/portraits', hair_selector is no longer used, and it changed to attachment_selector.

your answer was very helpful. Thanks for answering.

For those wondering, technically the mod itself should work fine on new updates. But because the mod has to edit other mod's portraits, it will fail when those mods get updated or have their file structures changed.

I will try to find a time to update the mod later, but there is no guaranteed since I am busy with New ACOT atm.

Probably, I will have to wait for Elves of Stellaris to update first.

Hello. Just wanted to ask, will you update this mod when Elves of Stellaris is updated or there's no need to change anything besides version number?
