Notes, Combat, and Star Searches

There have been close to 100 actors who have worked on this project, and while the DNA tests may prove inconclusive, to me you are all my children. So while as your parent I can play no favorites, I think everyone who’s contributed to the mod can and should audition for Bioware’s new Dragon Age contest, which user Reznore alerted me to on Nexus.

Details can be found at the link below, but I encourage everyone to send in an audition and become famous. Then maybe you can invite your deadbeat father to the red carpet unveiling.

Victory or Sovngarde?

I’m experiencing something odd as of late pertaining to combat.  Previously, the Combat to Normal dialogue wasn’t firing, so I moved it to a separate location and that seemed to fix it. Recently, the taunts have stopped, although it only seems to apply to old saves.

In this video, the first half shows the combat with the taunts mysteriously muted. In the second half, I move them to the Attack section, and they suddenly fire. This means that the taunts themselves are conditioned correctly. They just for whatever reason aren’t firing off, and only for old saves. 

While in the video you wouldn’t see much of a distinction between taunt and attack dialogue, the advantage of a “taunt” is that they’re spoken regardless of what behavior the NPC is exhibiting. So a taunt can be screamed while someone is chasing you around, but an attack only fires when you’re, well, attacking. In any case, it’s bizarre, but I may need to move them all to the Attack section like in the video until I can figure out what the hell is going on.

  1. Was already recording when I read the small print which said “no dirty foreigners are allowed to enter!”
    Well, it didn’t say that -exactly-, but that’s what it meant. I will be over here sulking in my dirty foreign corner.

  2. I was told about DAI today by author of Aurora, which I’m voicing! I’ll be putting mine on youtube as well!
