Old Republic HK Voice Pack (Legacy)
THIS IS FOR THE BASE/LEGACY VERSION OF THE GAME
It does appear to work with WOTC, but may have bugs. Use at your own risk.
Statement: HK-47, HK-51, and HK-55 are ready to serve XCOM, Commander. Assassination protocols engaged, prejudice set to maximum. Termination of alien meatbags will commence on your command.
This mod adds a soldier voice option for the lovable, homicidal HK-series droids from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, and Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO. The voice is available for both male soldiers and SPARKs.
Consists of approx. 330 lines spread across most actions (although no PsiOps abilities – who tries to train a droid for psi attacks?).

Originally I intended to only include TOR audio in this mod, but it quickly became apparent that there wasn’t enough variation and specific remarks for the various XCOM 2 soldier barks. I therefore added additional audio from both KOTOR I and II, but these were markedly different in quality to TOR’s. K2 in particular seems to have added significant post-processing that makes it much deeper and more noisy than TOR’s. I believe TOR may add some additional effect in-game, as they do with voice modulation for certain player helmets, which is why their source audio is fairly clean. I tried various methods to bring TOR’s audio closer in nature to K1/K2’s but I was unable to produce anything that I deemed was acceptable. If anyone has some suggestions on how to go about it, let me know (unless you are going to say "use Audacity’s Equalization filter").
I’ve tried to spread the audio clips out amongst the various bark types to avoid doubling up too much, but some clips are recycled for actions that get a lot of use to try and bump the randomization levels up a bit. Or just because I personally like them. Certain actions are limited though because I couldn’t find much (or anything) that was appropriate. Hopefully I can add additional lines in the future from KOTFE/KOTET. Additionally, I’ve also tried to minimise the use of excessively long clips, but there are a few that are probably longer than is ideal.
This voice pack was designed specifically to work with my HK Droids mod. However, it has also been made available for SPARKs. If for any reason you wish to disable one or the other, you can edit the mod’s ConfigXComContent.ini and comment out whichever you don’t want (use a semi-colon -> ; ). Currently the SPARK voice set just uses the same bank as the soldier set, but possibly in the future I may break that out into its own bank if I can aquire enough significantly different voice files.

I learned a lot by poking through the contents of other people’s mods to see how things worked, as well as reading various tutorials and forum/Reddit posts, particularly by E3245. Many thanks to them and the rest of the X2 modding community for their help, direct and indirect.
The initial inspiration for this mod came from Jafrica’s HK-47 Voice Pack. Lack of further development of that mod prompted me to create my own HK voice pack, and subsequently my HK Droids body model mod to go with it.
