3DNPC v3.06

Kris Takahashi Releases 1 Comment

This is version 3.06. The major change from last week is the re-record of about 170 lines for Callen. Still have her idles and a handful of topics to go, but for the most part the new mic is leagues ahead of the old one. Also made some minor tweaks to Melea‘s dialogue as well.

The rest of the changes are listed below. There are three new NPCs, Mithril, Darcy, and Fuki. The re-records are the other important things included in this update. Finally, this update lays the foundation for some rather large quests – by including sound files and the like. Unfortunately, none of the quests made the cut, but they should be ready for the next update in 10 weeks. Hopefully.

UPDATE: Seems something was wrong with the main torrent (file corrupt, 7zip probably crapped out while packing). So, I re-packed and extracted a few times to test, should work this time.

Trailers and Teasers – Darcy the Traveling Poet

Kris Takahashi Trailers and Teasers 6 Comments

Here’s an NPC that effectively kills two birds with one stone. He’s warm and friendly, which helps balance out Edwayne, and he doesn’t sing, which is a response to the million gajillion bards that do. This dude uses his manly pipes to recite poetry.

So far only one poem to be exact, but there’s a bunch of canon TES works we can mess around with as well. In any case, it’s another friendly face to meet on your travels. This is also David Boffa’s first role for the mod, hopefully we’ll hear more from him in the future.

Gender Bendification

Kris Takahashi Trailers and Teasers 2 Comments

This is a proof of concept on multiple levels.

First, I mentioned in the forums that I want to give players the option to gender bend an NPC.  I think offering these options would provide a little bit of replay value, particularly for some of the older, more static characters.

For this experiment I figured Gnives would be the best candidate. This is because he’s more or less a finished character. There’s little to no chance he will be revised or expanded, so there’s no danger of having to get the consent of multiple actors every time I want to add a greeting.

Second, it’s an opportunity to show how simple it is to add your own voice to a character, should you choose to do so. At some point I want to make a more detailed tutorial on how to do this, but the basic idea is that patches can be made for personal use.

In any case, Zillac‘s version of FemGnives will be an optional download that will be released with v3.06, probably in a USER PATCHES section in the forums. It will simply require replacing the original audio and then using a console command. I tried making a separate patch instead of using the console, but it didn’t work – probably requires making the mod an ESM.
