In the upper right corner of the top toolbar, there's something called the Conversation Editor. You wouldn't believe how much more streamlined it is. And you can save with it open! Everything in the video still applies, but finding that thing was the difference between continuing my mod and considering not finishing it. Edit: Apparently, you can't merge mods made this way for some reason. I don't know the specifics, because I didn't need to do that, but you've been warned.
1) AppData is a hidden folder, twiddle with your view settings. 2) Probably (I don't know for sure) Boris IS the bomb. As in, he disappears with the explosion and can't be looted. It would appear that such a thing is unavoidable if you want him to explode with kerfufaling with.... something.... I don't know modding. That's why I'm watching this series! But seriously dude, good sh*t. Insanely helpful.
Thanks so much for this I think one of the things that tripped me up for a while was the difference between linking topics vs choices. In the end I realized choices are for character multiple responses where as topics are for progressing to the next topic in a conversation.
An even easier alternative to this lipsync madness: download the fonixData.cdf file on the nexus, put the folder in your voice directory, and generate lip sync in the GECK. all done!
Man, thank you so much. I've been struggling for hours on how to generate .lip files for my follower. Everything else I tried never worked. You saved my ass. Cheers!
A good tutorial but one thing I should suggest and this is for people like me and slow down a little. I do not mind going through a part serries but if you could slow down on your tutorials, it will save some time for some from rewinding over and over to see how you did it.
You probably have Windows 10. If so, all the columns are crushed to the left. Just drag them out to the right, double-click each one, or use the shortcut, which is Ctrl and the + sign on the number pad. This was fixable in Windows 8 (by deleting some update) and didn't occur in previous versions of Windows. But as far as I know, you're stuck with it in Windows 10.
Oh God. I'm so sorry, haha. That happened to me as well a couple of weeks back. Modding New Vegas is basically a nightmare, though it can be very rewarding as it's such a good game. If you ever go back to it, now you know what to do (and where not to unpack your BSA files).
App data is a hidden folder to be able to see it you have to go to control panel and go to folder options and scroll down to show hidden folders and click on it and hit apply you should be able to find the folder now.
Hey Seddon Love your tutorials, they're simple and easy, but I'm having problem with generic dialogue I know you made a video explaining it, but could you make a video where you do like you did here, but just with generic dialogue on selfcreated NPCS? My raiders never make a sound, no matter what I try or do
Hmm, I got it working on the first try! I'm making a Legion Rifleman companion for the New Vegas mod Obscurum - Pandemic. Would you mind telling me or showing me to a video that shows how to make a companion wheel with the companion so he doesn't just start following me out of thin air?
Dude, HOW do you import your own .wav files that you've prerecorded? I rename them the exact same thing and put it exactly where it should be but it doesn't work. It only works if I use the record option inside the GECK, and the audio quality is terrible.
I have a question if It don't waste to much of your time to answer. I was wondering how do I add text to a p.c? I wanted to make a p.c terminal that people could go up to and read a little story, is that covered in any of your walk through vids?
Lol it's not confusing.. and if you just want to make a robot companion Simply.. you can just watch AlChestBreaches tutorial... it is alot easier but you cannot tell say anything to him.. the only thing you can say to him is Goodbye
Hmm, I'm not completely sure. You could try moving it up your load order in Fallout Mod Manager? Of check in your data/voice.sound folder that all your voice folders were named correctly? It just zooms in and no dialogue appears? I've never had this happen to me so I'm not sure what to suggest.
Is there any way to adjust the length of time that NPC Dialogue remains on the screen? It goes away too quickly to read at a comfortable pace, and I would like to know how to keep it on screen for a longer duration or even have it remain on screen until clicked on if possible. Thank you for all of your help.
Alright, I have an issue. I got the dialogue to work. I then closed to game to do some tweaking, and now when I talk to my companion all it does is zoom in. Could you be of assistance?
Philip Brain I'll do you one better. So yeah they don't disappear, they shrink. What you do is: hover over the top left side of the box where you put the conditions in, and then click and drag the columns out back to size. You'll have to do this every time but at least you'll be able to see whats in the boxes. Hope this helped
"So now you've done that next you have to go and download and install more things, and learn how to use them..." No thanks. There already exists a massive amount of dialogue with the lip synchronisation already done. What we need to know is how to use that!
I have a problem with my dialogue. I have the greeting set up to do a one liner saying the name and then two random hello messages below it. When I talk to my npc, he says his one liner once and one of the others after. My problem is there is a blank line at the top of my conversation that when selected, my npc replies "Hey" -one of my hello lines. Any clue on how to fix/get rid of this? Also thanks for the videos, really helping me.
For some reason when I start up the Construction Kit for Oblivion now (worked fine before) there is no Voicetype for any of the races like what appears on 15:25 of the video. I did the yes to all at the beginning, activated the esp went to quests and looked at the dialogue boxes but no races or even emotions. Did not update Creation Kit. Reinstalled liptemplate.esp file. What is going on?
I find your tutorials somewhat helpful, but not as good as they could be. Here are some tips: 1) Even though your videos are uploaded at 1080p, when I download them I can only get 720p and that looks more like 360 or less. It looks very blurry, which makes it difficult to follow. 2) Your vids are very rushed, once again hard to follow even slowing them down. I suggest that you use some sort of cursor highlighter and explain [all] the steps as you go. After all, there are very few good GECK tutorials that are worth watching. A tutorial is at its core a guide, if one can't follow, it becomes unusable. If you find that there is to much information for one video then break them up to several parts. Tutorials live on forever and are revisited all the time (more the better they are). A good tip is to have an outline of the video on paper before you start. Remember there is always room for improvement. Keep at it, the more you do, the better you get. And please revisit subjects if you feel you can do better. All of us will benefit from your work. Good Luck.
I agree, also show everything in the tutorial, instead of saying "i already have this done so go check out my last tutorial on how to do this". ive been redirected back to three 20+ minute tutorials and there doesnt seem to be much order they can be followed without getting redirected back to a different video again. other than that they are kind of helpful, albeit the backtracking gets annoying.
Do u know why when i open my GECK there arent any npc's or actors or creatures, im not all experienced in using the GECK so im wondering if im supposed to import them or did i place them in the wrong location
nice video, would have been nice if you threw the link to the website in the description as it is a bitch of a bitch to read even in 1080p. i managed to read it though :) besides that it was a very good tutorial thanks :)
I dont get why need to go trough this (obviously unnecessary) process with lips sync? I mean what the hell is wrong with GECK? Is it so hard to make lip sync feature out of the box? The feature is there, and this file phonixdata or whatever is missing without any reason. This make no sense . Because of this hours and hours of boring file renaming , instead of spending time and focusing on actual modding, Bathesda screw up seriously with the geck. >:-/
He tells you what to do step by step If you would actually bother to do what he is talking about you would figure out how it works after a while, He might not be a teacher but his videos are extremely helpful

Old comment, but i need to know more
omg his "hello" for recording the greetings for boris... reminds me of the human peasant greeting from warcraft 2...
im not alone then lol
You seem to cover everything. And you cover it well. It was hard to find alot of tutorials like this. You deserve more views
In the upper right corner of the top toolbar, there's something called the Conversation Editor. You wouldn't believe how much more streamlined it is. And you can save with it open!

6:58 talks about recording dialogue and using premade files
I've been trying to find something like this for days. I couldn't find one with commentary, so thanks man!
1) AppData is a hidden folder, twiddle with your view settings.
2) Probably (I don't know for sure) Boris IS the bomb. As in, he disappears with the explosion and can't be looted. It would appear that such a thing is unavoidable if you want him to explode with kerfufaling with.... something.... I don't know modding. That's why I'm watching this series!

I'm glad to be of help, thank you for watching!
That's my new favorite quote, "Help me, help you, help us, help us all"
Thanks for the tutorial!
Dang! you cover anything! I'll download this to keep it handy.
I can't believe they gave you only 285 likes. You deserve more.
An even easier alternative to this lipsync madness: download the fonixData.cdf file on the nexus, put the folder in your voice directory, and generate lip sync in the GECK. all done!
dude you're a legend,thanks so much.
Awesome bro, I been needing a video tutorial on how to do these kind of things
Man, thank you so much. I've been struggling for hours on how to generate .lip files for my follower. Everything else I tried never worked. You saved my ass. Cheers!
A good tutorial but one thing I should suggest and this is for people like me and slow down a little. I do not mind going through a part serries but if you could slow down on your tutorials, it will save some time for some from rewinding over and over to see how you did it.
Could you tell me why when I select a topic it doesn't appear on the topic list?
You probably have Windows 10. If so, all the columns are crushed to the left.

Thanks, I kinda gave up on the GECK after my fiasco with motherfucking BSA files.
Oh God. I'm so sorry, haha. That happened to me as well a couple of weeks back. Modding New Vegas is basically a nightmare, though it can be very rewarding as it's such a good game. If you ever go back to it, now you know what to do (and where not to unpack your BSA files).
100% need to find out how you made him explode like that. I love it! 11:15
That's what the rewind button is for.
This is brilliant, thanks for making this.
Works like a charm! Thanks so much man!
for some reason when I talk to my NPC he doesn't answer it just zooms in at his face then zooms out
thank you BTW this is Xbox Master Races Main Account
As long as you've chosen goodbye in the conversation tab it should be alright. Make sure the 'goodbye' box is checked on the goodbye dialogue
you've earned yourself a sub!
I have a problem, when I click new under info at 1:46, the GECK immediately stops responding and crashes to desktop.
Famix same here
App data is a hidden folder to be able to see it you have to go to control panel and go to folder options and scroll down to show hidden folders and click on it and hit apply you should be able to find the folder now.
This is really interesting and cool!
Could you tell me why when I select a topic it doesn't appear on the topic list?
It's a nice tutorial and all but it didn't work very well and right now I am just done with trying for now, thank for trying to help though.
Hey Seddon
Love your tutorials, they're simple and easy, but I'm having problem with generic dialogue
I know you made a video explaining it, but could you make a video where you do like you did here, but just with generic dialogue on selfcreated NPCS?
My raiders never make a sound, no matter what I try or do
Thanks for help !
Thanks for the help :)
I have the same problem as him, just a zoom in and then instant zoom out when as far as I can tell I did it the exact same way as you.
oGrayFox has a companion tutorial, watch a companion tutorial if you want a companion.
Ok I'm having a problem to were I click invalid and choose whoever I want to say that, it does nothing.
When I tried to make the dialog it worked but every other npc has the same as him aswell (including that npcs own dialog aswell)
well then YOURE A GOD
no hes not only God is God
Ahh, thanks for the help!
AppData is a secret folder used by various programs and games
Anyone know how you remove the generic goodbye. I have two, one I made and one generic which I cant remove. Please help.
Hmm, I got it working on the first try! I'm making a Legion Rifleman companion for the New Vegas mod Obscurum - Pandemic.
Would you mind telling me or showing me to a video that shows how to make a companion wheel with the companion so he doesn't just start following me out of thin air?
+Swagmaster Bandit My most recent video is of a companion wheel so you should be able to find it on my channel.
Seddon4494 Thanks
Whenever I add a topic it isn't added to the topic list... Any idea why?
Sorry just found the solution. I needed to plug in my microphone so all the voicetypes can be seen. (did not think that was the case)
Cheers for the video man, it really helped! :-)
Dude, HOW do you import your own .wav files that you've prerecorded? I rename them the exact same thing and put it exactly where it should be but it doesn't work. It only works if I use the record option inside the GECK, and the audio quality is terrible.
You have to make sure its a wav file and is in the right folder. I use fl studio to make my wav files if u want to see if that will work for you
I love you :)
That voice acting! xD
I have a question if It don't waste to much of your time to answer. I was wondering how do I add text to a p.c? I wanted to make a p.c terminal that people could go up to and read a little story, is that covered in any of your walk through vids?

It goes away too quickly to read at a comfortable pace, and I would like to know how to keep it on screen for a longer duration or even have it remain on screen until clicked on if possible.
Thank you for all of your help.
I believe it depends on how long the audio file is.
Is it just me, or is the LIP Template.7z The Lip Synch Utility, created by Kivan not available for download anymore?? any way around this??
No, its not there anymore. Ive been trying to find a way around it, but i havent been able to.
ReveredLegend
If you have Skyrim, there's a way to make lip files in the GECK if you watch my video: 'fix for making LIP files in the GECK'
You can find it on Nexus. In the oblivion section
lol. you should rename him to Ringo.
Bro, It Doesn't Work For Me, After I Go On Topic And Pick New, It Says [Not Responding] And Ramdomly Closes! Plz Help :'(
@@ChadNobark this comment was a year ago but ok
Alright, I have an issue. I got the dialogue to work. I then closed to game to do some tweaking, and now when I talk to my companion all it does is zoom in. Could you be of assistance?
No "GREETING" topic in left sidebar and conditions do not appear after having been set up. Help!
Philip Brain So, instead of him copying and pasting the command, you have to manually put it in. A bit tedious but it works.
Ok. Thanks man!
Philip Brain And if you accidently click out of it, just click the left bar and type in GREETING
Philip Brain I'll do you one better. So yeah they don't disappear, they shrink.

What if you don't want to use a Voice can you add your Own Custom Dialogue?
Is there any software that converts text to a wav sound file that doesn't sound like a computer
When I go to 'add topic' and 'new', 'GREETING' Doesn't come up. Can someone help?
I have the same issue, did you resolve it?
I have a bug, i have all the topics but my character will only say the greeting than just stop talking. What did i do wrong?
condition isnt showing up when i apply it to my npc the box is still empty
Press "Ctrl +" while you're hovering over the condition box.

AppData is a hidden folder in the os

also instead of going back and then forward in thew window just click the F5 key to refresh the view in the window.
I think you might need to install elder scrolls construction kit again 16:10
Do u know why when i open my GECK there arent any npc's or actors or creatures, im not all experienced in using the GECK so im wondering if im supposed to import them or did i place them in the wrong location

you add constraints to his speech options.

Not very helpful. You go from stuff to stuff, do not explain ANYTHING, just do stuff as you go and try to "teach".
