Specific custom npc dialogue questions about using pre-existing dialog

[kamyk2000]

Hello. I have seemingly simple questions, but I've searched the internet for three days now looking for apparently impossible to find answers.

 

I am trying to make an npc mod for morrowind, and am having no problem following what tutorials I can find. I already have a working prototype in game.

 

The problem I am having relates to the dialogue sections. I have seen tutorials on how to add new dialogue and journal entries and have no trouble there, but what I want to know is how to add existing dialogue topics/entries to my new npc.

 

I don't mean like the typical subset that goes with most npcs. I mean very specific pre-existing entries that came with the game esm files. So the solution I am looking for is not as simple as creating a new npc based on an old one that has what I want already attached, because there isn't an existing npc that has all of what I want.

 

Even more importantly, I have found nothing whatsoever anywhere about how to add spoken (audio) dialogue to a custom npc at all. Much less how to use pre-existing spoken dialogue.

 

I know that all of this is quite possible, as I have seen multiple mods adding new npcs that have both new and pre-existing dialogue and audio, as well as mods that add new npc audio. What I don't know is how it is done, where to find tutorials on the subject, or frankly, even where to ask my questions. I chose here because this seems to be an active community. Again, I don't need generic "how to make an npc tutorials" I've sucessfully done those already. What I need is specific dialogue info, and I've already spent three days searching.

 

If anyone could please tell me where I can find out about these subjects, or could tell me themselves, I would be extremely grateful.
