About a year ago I replaced all of CJ's voicelines with Tommy Vercetti's voicelines. This took me literal weeks of listening to and transcribing many thousands (6000+) of voicelines.

Here, I document what I did and what I learned, and provide you with all my notes and files so you can easily replace voicelines by yourself.

--- How To ---I first downloaded Alci's SAAT GUI FrontEnd 1.0 tool, and looked inside the SFX category. Most of CJ's voicelines live in 'SPC_PA', but e.g. his climbing/hurting/falling/drowning voicelines live in 'PAIN_A'.Within SPC_PA, you find folders such as 'Bank_001'. The following banks are relevant:

1/2: Used when you have wanted level 2 to 6 and have recruited gang members

3/4: Used when you have wanted level 2 to 3

5/6: Used when you are wealthy

7/8: Used when you are fat

9/10: Used when you have wanted level 0 to 1 and have recruited gang members

11/12: Used when you have wanted level 0 to 1

13/14: Used for ordering gang members during a gang war

15/16: Used when you have wanted level 4 to 6

17/18: Used when you have wanted level 0 to 1 and have recruited gang members

19/20: used when you have just completed a mission (temporary happy voicelines)

I do not know the order of precedence of the banks (e.g. if you have wanted level 3, and you have recruited gang members, and you are wealthy, and you are fat, which banks are used? I don't know).I also do not know when bank 1 or 2 is used, or when bank 3 or 4 is used.I do know, that within these banks are thousands of voicelines, ranging from what CJ says when he picks up money, to when he aims a gun, to when he has a positive hot coffee experience, and ever so on.

As far as Vice City goes, I extracted all of Tommy's voicelines, and this gave me files 'sfx08694' through 'sfx09814' for Tommy's voice, and files 'sfx09815' through 'sfx09940' for Tommy's hurting/falling voicelines.Again, these are more than a thousand voicelines ranging from what Tommy says when he picks up money, to when he hijacks a car, and ever so on.

CJ and Tommy have very different voicelines! Tommy doesn't get fat, Tommy doesn't date, Tommy lacks many things that CJ has voicelines for — but interestingly, Tommy has a lot of voicelines for situations where CJ has fewer, so it's doable to replace one with the other if you are creative.

I needed to:- Transcribe all of Tommy's voicelines/grunts;- Transcribe all of CJ's voicelines/grunts;- Understand which of CJ's voiceline is played in which context (within bank 001 I see sound_001.wav and sound_002.wav — at what point does the game use these? When I hijack a car, when my own car gets hijacked, when I get busted...?);- Map all of CJ's voicelines to a fitting equivalent from Tommy's voicelines.

--- YeGrandeVercettiVoicelinesProject.txt ---I have attached 'YeGrandeVercettiVoicelinesProject.txt' to this post (that is what I called the file, yes). This file was never meant to be publicly released, and is full of my random notes. But it does contain the transcriptions and categorisations of all these voicelines, so I hope I can make it usable for you.

I transcribed all of Tommy's voicelines by myself. CJ's voicelines are >somewhat< documented online, but this list contained errors. I fixed some of these, but no doubt my improved list also contains errors (4000+ voicelines is not humanly possible to check in-game, you've got to assume things — you can understand that 'hey, my car!' could be played either when you get hijacked or when you crash into another car, but there are so many vague examples, especially with the hundreds of girlfriend-related voicelines).

-- Banks --At the very top is a description of the banks (which I wrote out at the top of this post), and some random links for references (as I said, some of CJ's voicelines are documented online):

[first picture]

-- San Andreas's voicelines categories --Next, I wrote down the categories San Andreas uses for voicelines:

[second picture]

For example, there is a category for voicelines that are played when you pick up money ('MoneyPickup').In bank 1, voicelines 099 to 103 are used when CJ picks up money. So, if you have wanted level 2 to 6, and you have recruited gang members, and if you then happen to pick up money, voicelines 099 to 103 will be played.(or voicelines 094 to 095 from bank 2 — as I said, I do not know the order of precedence between banks)But for banks 13 and 14, these voicelines do not exist, so there are no special money pickup voicelines if you are ordering gang members during a gang war.To the very right, you see which of Tommy's voicelines I chose to replace CJ's voicelines with.

If you scroll a bit farther down, you will see I change the format (again, this file was never meant to be released):

I did this, because it gets very hard to recognise what each voiceline means, but knowing that matters a lot when you want to replace it. E.g. 'no' to a drug dealer, versus 'no' to a girlfriend, versus 'no' to a prostitute, versus 'no' to a gang member, are four very different 'no' voicelines. And Tommy Vercetti doesn't really have any 'no' voicelines, so you need to creatively find a fitting replacement; there is no generic 'no' voiceline that could work for all these categories. You can also see that I took the documentation online, and split it up in subcategories and/or corrected it:

[fourth picture]

The documentation online calls all of this 'Dating girlfriends', 'Yes to girlfriend' and 'Girlfriend related', you can see I create smaller categories.E.g. row 545 shows that bank 8, voicelines 001 to 003, represent something like 'I cannot wait to see you again', which is a very different kind of voiceline than sounds 006 to 008 which represent something like 'Let's go'.You can also see, in rows 564 to 567, that I disagree with what the online documentation said; I think bank 11, voicelines 015 to 016, are about going driving with your girlfriend, not to saying yes to your girlfriend.Again, I could absolutely be wrong, these are just my notes, do with it whatever you want!

-- Tommy Vercetti's voicelines --If you scroll farther down, you find the transcription of all of Tommy's voicelines.Because Tommy does not have different voicelines for being fat, wealthy, or other such things, I only split Tommy's voicelines depending on wanted level, and on being happy (temporary voicelines after passing a mission).That is to say; if you refer to the top of this post, you see that banks 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 11, 12, 17, and 18, all apply to situations irrelevant to Tommy (wealthy, fat) where the player has 0 or 1 wanted level.And so, you see in my transcription, that I start with the voicelines that are said when shooting, and split them up depending on if you have 0/1 stars, 2/3 stars, 4/6 stars, or are happy (on the picture below, you only see 0/1 stars and 2/3 stars).And I match these to San Andreas's banks, so as said two sentences above; 0/1 stars is used for banks 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 11, 12, 17, and 18.So, I made a list of Tommy's voicelines, based on Vice City's categories (the wanted levels, and the temporary happiness), with the sfx's ID and its transcription:

-- Online documentation of San Andreas's banks --If you scroll all the way past all of Tommy's voicelines, you find the documentation of San Andreas's banks that I found online, e.g.:

[sixth picture]

Match this with two screenshots above; here you see bank 5, voicelines 001 to 017, refer to 'dating girlfriends', and I split this up in a lot of subcategories to properly capture what this means.

-- Climbing/hurting/falling/drowning voicelines --Scroll a bit farther down, and you reach my transcription of all the grunts Tommy makes, and to which of CJ's voicelines I matched them (there is sadly no transcription of CJ's voicelines here):

And with that, you reach the end of this text file. I hope it can be of use to you!
