The main file is actually smaller for v3.03 than v3.02. The reason for this is I included some work files – the original uncompressed voice files for Tikrid – in the previous version. They can be found in the TIkridVoice folder of v3.02, and can be deleted or kept and framed for prosperity, provided you have a printer that can print sound. In any case, here are the releases and notes:
3DNPC v3.03 Main File – Full Download [Torrent – 1.7GB]
UPDATE ONLY – v3.02 to v3.03 – For those who already have v3.02 installed. – 140 MB.
Main Additions
• Rumarin will now use dual bound blades and a bound bow
• Valgus heals the player when health under 40% and he is within 512 units. He will also heal you post-battle if your health is low once every 12 hours, for immersion purposes only.
• Random innkeeper interaction with Alassea, Morndas, and Amalee
• New NPC Mannequin available upon completion of the House on the Hill (voiced by J.T. Decker)
• New voice for Zajhirra and Hagravi (voiced by J.T. Decker)
• Additional combat and commentary lines for Hjoromir, Alassea, Rumarin, Dagri’lon, Zora, Morndas, and Valgus
Silent Additions (setstage 3DNPCenable 1)
• New Dark Elf Archer/Follower, Meresine. One of Zajhirra’s random hellos will point you to her.
Tweaks
• “Setstage DialogueNPCName 500” will now turn mod NPCs into vanilla NPCs, and fail any related quests. Previously the console command muted the NPC as opposed to making them vanilla.
• Split monologues and re-arranged much of Jerulith and Frik‘s dialogue for shorter replies
• Raised volume on Drelas and Jaspar
• Moved Iria‘s start point to the Hall of the Dead until PC speaks to her at least once
• Cassock‘s victims will now have urns in the Hall of the Dead
Fixes
• Alassea or other Marriage Issues – It seems when I make an existing NPC marry-able it doesn’t register on old saves. Added an extra script to add them to the “potentialmarriagefaction” just in case, and attached to the proposal line.
• Alassea post-marriage song related dialogue not connected
• Spell it Out for Me – In older saves, NPC not dying due to previously being set as “protected.”
• Alassea not playing Warrior’s Life – Unlocking Tears of the Hist is an improper condition.
• Iria looping “What can a corpse tell you…” question
• Fironet and Rinori‘s audio had too much treble
• Bodan missing an audio file for scene if PC is not a member of the Companions.
• Alisen not playing “Age of Aggression”
Um, I have a question about installation. I don´t even really know what version I have installed, I just know I skipped a few updates. I´m downloading 3.03 right now, the “main file” version.
Which files should I delete and what should I keep to safely install the newest version? (I already messed my game badly with some other mods, a few more “radical” uninstalls and I think I won´t even be able to load skyrim)
Rumarin‘s bound bow works fine, but he never uses his bound blades; and the bow never disappears…? He can be made to attack melee style if I give him a sword, though that breaks immersion.
It may be when I lowered his ranged combat preferences, it didn’t take on old saves. Or it could be I need to drop it some more.
Just popping in to say the same is happening over here (Rumarin always uses the bow and it never disappears). It’s not a new save file, but I didn’t encounter Rumarin on this particular character until after installing the update, if that helps.
Bound blades work fine for me, and I’m using a VERY old save.
Like, haven’t touched it with the mod since one of the last Beta updates. You probably just need to give it some time.
I downloaded the main version 3.03 but none of the npcs have sound, am I doing something wrong?
Did you install any patches? This is a common thing people do in NMM. They uninstall the main version when they install the patch. NMM requires a specific procedure when applying patches. You have to click “No” to update and “Yes” to overwrite.
