Voices and subtitles

[Hawkorn]

I can't believe it. I was excited to finally be able to play Mass Effect 1 and 2 with english voices and french subtitles but no.. apparently even in 2021 it's still hard to let the players choose what language they want to hear and read separately. That's a letdown Bioware.

That's for Polish right? I personally need it for Italian (Eng audio, Italian subs), can i edit the script to do the same?

Yes, change PLPC to IT and it should work

Although I would strongly advice to make a copy of CookedPCConsole and ISACT folder ;)

To make the script work in other languages You will need to replace plpc occurrences with your language (check how it is spelled in provided folders). It will be easier to use a backup than reinstall the game from the scratch if anything went wrong :D

Did You already do something before with files? In that case script will not work properly. I would advice to reinstall the game and then try again. What language You would want?

I haven't touched anything, still not working... just to ask, does the script change also the character creation sequence? Because i'm listening only that to see if it has changed and then quit...

For French currently I think it will not work, cause to make it work You actaully have to select your desired language in the game launcher (I do not see French option right now) :/

In the character creation You will have Your language dubbing. This script will change the actual gameplay later on.

Ok ... thanks to @Pseudohalogen I came to a solution to the localization problem in ME1 :)

1. You need to change all `*LOC _ [**].pcc` replacing them with `*LOC_INT.pcc`. You can use a script for this (example with Polish language version) [PowerShell].

First you need to go to `CookedPCConsole`.

DIR | rename-item -newname { $_.name -replace 'LOC_PLPC.pcc','LOC_PLPC_back.pcc' }
DIR | rename-item -newname { $_.name -replace 'LOC_INT.pcc','LOC_PLPC.pcc' }
DIR | rename-item -newname { $_.name -replace 'LOC_PLPC_back.pcc','LOC_INT.pcc' }

2. Disable files in `Content\Packages\ISACT`

DIR | rename-item -newname { $_.name -replace '_plpc.isb','_plpc_back.isb' }

OR

1 and 2. Script in batch: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bWkn12Jhrjl1BG-zYXswRCDkCzNSkSbM/view?usp=sharing
Thanks to @Carradhor

You need copy this script to `Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME1\BioGame` and run.

3. Select your language in the launcher. (not English).

That's it, Thank you, Good night.

OMG it works perfectly for the french version, you're awesome ! Thank you so much !
