Here is version 3.05.2, the second of ten weekly updates until a full Nexus release. This week we don’t really have much of anything, not even a good screenshot, mostly because the majority of work I did on the mod is for a quest that won’t be ready for some time, depending on actor availability, worldspace creation, and things of that nature. For example, the Thousand Words quest was written, programmed, and tested back in December. Still not in the mod. Other quests get done over the weekend. You just never know.

I did hope to have Mithril‘s little quest done by now, but that too will have to be put on hold until it’s fully voiced. However, the base lines will now be active as the backstory and things of that nature are now recorded. You just can’t complete her request. That and the other quest audio I did receive accounts for the difference (about 25MB) in size from last week. As for other changes, there’s also some quest failsafes implemented as well as one important fix, the dismissal function of Ylgyne, which was still incorrectly conditioned in 3.05.1. Now it should work.

In other news, zhaarteth has agreed to help index the ReadMe section, as the increasing size of the mod makes it that having a single page isn’t ideal for navigation. So hopefully when he’s finished we’ll have a nice little Table of Contents that allows you to navigate more freely.

Here is version 3.05.1, the first of ten weekly updates until a full Nexus release. This week we have a couple of audio overhauls, Jerulith and Carmella. Carmella (Elegant Artist) was previously re-recorded for v3.05, but I felt there was some voice consistency issues that we ironed out in this release. There’s still about a dozen lines that need to be re-taken, but we’re more or less ready to proceed with making a quest for her. Jerulith (Jessica Osborne) is pretty much done from the standpoint of base lines, and Jessica’s even done the first section of quest stuff too. You can also catch her voicing a character for Anna’s NPCs too. The woman is a machine.

The one new NPC I’ve added is Mithril (Ronja Monto). If you run into her, she’ll ask you to find something. This something exists in the world, but the person who owns it hasn’t recorded his lines. So bringing the two together will result in nothing happening. Nada. Hopefully something will happen in the future, but it won’t in this version. They’ll just stare at each other and blink. However, you can go through the preliminary lines, and get to know her a bit before the larger chunk of stuff gets implemented.

UPDATE: l decided to shut off Mithril’s dialogue. Originally, I left her in because I thought the base lines were done, but I remembered just now I changed the backstory. So removed because she’s not fully voiced. You can still find her, but she’s a mute.

All Fixes and Tweaks from v3.04

Here is the second of ten weekly updates before the release of version 3.05. This week was a bit strange because I ran into the problem of having an NPC – Melea Entius – whose overhaul was about eighty percent finished. However, given the importance of that remaining 20%, the only course of action was to disable it all.

As always, these releases are cumulative. You don’t have to download every week. Version 3.04.3 will include everything in version 3.04.1 and 3.04.2. Moreover, the zips will be packaged with both the Main file and the Hearthfire patch. The Dawnguard patch is unnecessary since you aren’t overwriting any vampires with this update.
