I had some free time today and decided that I *really* missed the quotes from SMAC - so I modded them into BE. For the most part they seem to fit quite nicely.

The mod itself is available on the Steam Workshop, but requires your own SMAC sound files (since I obviously can't upload these). A friend of mine was, however, kind enough to create a little tool that will allow you to automate some of the installation process.

How to use the program:
(0) Download the file converter package from: http://www.mediafire.com/download/98y5py1hdd89y79/FileRenamer.rar
(1) Unpack the .rar archive into an empty folder.
(2) Copy all MP3 files from the SMAC "voices" folder in the folder created for (1).
(3) Start "FileRenamer.jar" (make sure you have Java insalled!).
(4) Click on "Select CSV Input" and select the file "!File List.csv"
(5) The program will now show a list of all files that will be converted.
(6) Click on "Rename Files" to start the rename process.
(7) Go to your "Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization Beyond Earth\assets\Sounds\Speech" folder.
(8) Open the folder containing your language files and make a backup of the "Tech" folder.
(9) Copy the renamed SMAC MP3 files into the "Tech" folder. Overwrite all existing files.
(10) Start BE and select the "SMAC Quotes" mod (available via Steam Workshop).

To restore the original BE quotes:
(A) Select all files from the backup "Tech" folder and copy them back in the original "Tech" folder. Overwrite all existing files.
(B) Alternatively: Go to your Steam library, rightclick on CIV:BE, select "Properties", go to "Local Files" and use the "Verify Integrity of Game Cache" option.

Kudos to Lionel Wood (Kalelovil) for creating this program!
 
Thank you so much for this!

Now I just need to figure a way to replace the leader animations with SMAC portraits and the colony symbols with SMAC faction symbols :)

Just so you know, there are several mods on the Steam Workshop that add the Alpha Centauri factions as new sponsors..

As for this mod, I'm going to try it out first thing tomorrow! Is there any chance you'll upload it here as well?
