Looks ace!

Did you manage to get automated lip-sync going, or did you end up doing it the long way? I can't see any resolution to the whole issue after a forum search!

Thanks!

Lip-synching was surprisingly easy, once I found out how.  First I used smiley's Automatic Lipsync Plugin to generate .pam files for each speech file (just double click the audio file, press start and it does a pretty good approximation).  Then I renamed all .pam files to .dat, and wrote a module (using some long-lost code here as a basis) that reads the file and manually overrides the character's frames when talking.  Bit of a hack, but it works.

Anyone want the module?  I'll upload it if so - I always wanted a way of having lip-synching in Lucasarts-style games and it's the only way I know of doing it.

Yes please!  I would appreciate it greatly.
