This is an XCOM 2 ModBuddy template for creating voice pack mods, using Robojumper's voice script and drawing heavily on Kregano's tutorial.
Don't just download files and try to edit them by hand. Follow the Using section below.
- Supports more XCOM 2 and WotC voice cues (and custom cues for use with other mods) (See these cues here)
- Avoids the use of VoiceBanks
- Can provide in-game popup messages to help debug when events occur
- Produces a mod that's compatible with both vanilla and WotC XCOM 2
- Prepopulates
Config\XComContent.iniandLocalization\XComGame.int - Tells you clearly how to setup and name content in the mod's UPK
- Avoids producing a shader cache when rebuilding (Avoiding this bug.)
You cannot just download this and edit the files. You must install and use it as a ModBuddy template as described below.

Use the same name (e.g. 'MyNicknameMyCoolVoiceMod') for the Name of your project, the Solution name and the Title of your mod.

Follow the instructions.
