I think the answer is to replace the in-game voices, one by one in the SilentHunterIII/data/Sound/Speech folders.
There are 9 folders in all. The files are the same in each of the 9, but the actual files when you play them vary in pitch and, sometimes in inflection. Not sure whether the game randomises commands / responses from the 9 available versions.
I'd suggest the following:
1. use a sound editor to prepare the sound files you want to use. For preference they
should be in .ogg format.
2. rename your new files with the exact names of the corresponding in-game files you want to replace in
the data/Sound/speech folders ( The game is hard-coded to find and play specific files on cue, using their full file name.)
3. copy the in-game files from the speech folders you will be replacing into a safe back-up folder(s) - best to create 9 folders to keep them organised as they are in-game .
That way they're easier to restore.
4. Replace the individual files in the data/Sound/Speech 1 to 9 folders with your new ones, ensuring that the names and order of files are exactly the same as with the
original in-game files. ideally, your new files should be aproximately the same size as the ones you're replacing.
You'll probably have to replace the same file in all 9 folders to ensure you get the sound file you want or expect when you're playing.
Good luck
