Working with scenes

Post » Thu Jun 21, 2012 6:07 am

Hi everybody. I have a problem with scenes in the construction kit. I'm trying to make a scene with two actors: TestGuy and TestGirl. I want them to meet near an XMarker, and once they're there, TestGuy shoud say "Hello, Test Girl!", and after that TestGirl should reply with "Hello, TestGuy!" It looks pretty simple but something is not working out for me. Those two people meet near the XMarker, but they don't start talking, even though I recorded my voice (Yes, I clicked on that save button there). Something's very wrong here, because they're not even looking at each other when they arrive at the marker - and I've checked that box "Headtrack target", and I've set up TestGuy to headtrack TestGirl and vice versa. Here's a picture of the scenes tab:

The meeting package makes them meet near an XMarker. You can also see those dialogues there. Please help me because I can't go on with modding if I don't learn this. Thank you.

I suspect you don't need actions 5 and 8.

Have you defined a Voice Type for each actor? Are the audio files in the correct Voice Type subfolder, with names that match the CK exactly?

Could you help me a bit with the last post there - I used the CK to record the voices (in the "Edit Responses" window). Now, what files need to be placed in which folder? And what's a voice type?

http://www.creationkit.com/Voice_Type needs to be defined on your Actor form > Traits tab.

This determines which folder the VO should reside in : Data > Sound > Voice > pluginname.esp > voicetype

I normally create a new Character > Voice Type for each of my unique actors, as this puts their audio in a unique folder, which will be easier to manage later if I decide to use voice actors.

I find that scenes simply won't play any dialogue unless those details are exactly right (even if I record something with no voice type defined).
