—the engine will abort loading the voice pack and fall back to the default (English) lines. 6️⃣ Legal & Ethical Considerations | Topic | What You Should Know | |-------|----------------------| | Copyright | The audio is copyrighted by GIANTS Software (or the respective publisher). Redistribution without permission is illegal. | | Modding Policy | GIANTS allows non‑commercial voice mods as long as the original files are not redistributed ; you must provide a link to the original game for verification. | | Commercial Use | Any commercial redistribution (e.g., selling a “Portuguese‑Voice‑Mod Pack”) requires a license from the rights holder. | | Attribution | If you replace lines with your own recordings, credit the original voice actors in the readme.txt you ship with the mod. | 7️⃣ Common Issues & How to Fix Them | Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix | |---------|--------------|-----| | No Portuguese audio, English fallback | Wrong file name or missing pt-BR tag in header. | Verify the file name matches the game's expectations ( fg-selective-brazilian-vo.bin ). Use FGVoiceTool to inspect the language tag. | | Crackling / distortion | Using a different audio codec (e.g., MP3) instead of Ogg/Vorbis. | Convert with ffmpeg -i input.wav -c:a libvorbis -q:a 5 output.ogg . | | Game crashes on startup | Corrupted index table (e.g., after manual editing). | Re‑pack the whole folder using the official tool, or restore the original backup. | | Only some lines play | You edited the index but forgot to update the CRC‑32 for each entry. | Run bin2ogg -p which automatically recomputes checksums. | | Voice lines are out of sync | Mismatched sample rate (e.g., 44 kHz vs. 16 kHz). | Ensure all replacements are 16 kHz mono (or the exact rate listed by ffprobe on a working clip). | 8️⃣ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) | Q | A | |---|---| | Is fg-selective-brazilian-vo.bin the only Portuguese file? | No. There is also a full pack ( fg-full-brazilian-vo.bin ). The “selective” version is smaller and used for low‑spec builds. | | Can I merge the selective and full packs? | Technically yes—just concatenate the index tables and payloads, but the game will only read the first matching entry. Use a custom loader if you need both. | | What if I want to add new voice lines? | Add a new entry to the index table (you’ll need the source code of FGVoiceTool or a hex editor). Then append the Ogg data to the end of the file. | | Is there a Linux‑only way to edit this? | Absolutely— bin2ogg is pure Python, works everywhere. For GUI lovers, VGMToolbox (cross‑platform via Wine) also supports FG bins. | | Do other games use a similar naming scheme? | Yes—many GIANTS titles and the “Farming Games” franchise follow the fg-<type>-<lang>-vo.bin convention. | 9️⃣ Quick Reference Cheat‑Sheet File: fg-selective-brazilian-vo.bin Purpose: Selective Brazilian Portuguese voice pack Game: Farming Simulator (19/22/23) Format: Header + Index Table + Ogg Vorbis / ADPCM‑WAV payload # Replace a line mv custom_line
