Yes, only act 1 is voiced now. And it will remain so for the foreseeable future, until GLENMORIL is finished. Please don't complain.
The reasoning for this decision is as follows: with the latest update, UNSLAAD is now quite firmly connected with both VIGILANT and GLENMORIL. At least one character appears in quite major role in all three mods and several in smaller ones. And the stories of those characters are not yet over in GLENMORIL, so it makes no sense to start a voicing project now without the guarantee that the voice actors will be able to return in a year or two years' time. And I'd like to keep those voiced addons as consistent as possible with minimal amount of redoing stuff for everyone.
The current plan is therefore to wait until GLENMORIL is finished, all translations finalized and the stories told in the mods understood as well as possible (yes, UNSLAAD gets perhaps as heavy as VIGILANT now) until any work on voicing starts. When that time comes, all three mods will be voiced in one go for the sake of quality and consistency. And yes, that means that VIGILANT is getting remastered.
So, we have some waiting in front of us. Maybe 6 months. Maybe a year. Maybe two. Maybe more. I don't know. But I'll be here, ready to work on these mods again, because they're more than worth my time. I hope you will still be here, too.

Translation revision incoming ... soonTM
While we're waiting for the entire trilogy (Vigilant + Glenmoril + Unslaad) to be finished, I am currently also working on translation revisions, both to prepare the ground for the future (re)voicing project and to introduce more consistency across all three mods.
Some info on what this entails:
Know that this means big changes; once this revision is done and I'm happy with it, the revised translation will likely be very different from the one currently uploaded here. This doesn't mean that the story conveyed in the mod will suddenly change or something like that - it just means that the translation will be better and more accurate in all regards ... and that currently voiced dialogue may not match the subtitles all that well anymore (but what is said will essentially remain the same).
Revised translation will be uploaded as an optional, SILENT file at first and it will be entirely your decision whether you'll combine it with the current voiced addon or not. However, once I'm reasonably sure that the trilogy is finished, all the voice work will be done with the revised translation in mind.
When is it coming out? When it's done. But I did finish everything but the books and dialogue for all three mods already, and while that is the largest chunk of all the text, it's also the most enjoyable part of the translation process (even if it means spending three hours analyzing the books about Ja'bal and the utter insanity the Pipers love to spout so much). :)
And who knows, I might even try something with the AI voicing while we wait for Vicn to complete the trilogy for good. No promises on that, though.
