A hopefuly simple request

[amelmastema]

Hi, thanks for reading!

 

I would like my knight (Lathorn to fast travel with me in the shivering isles. I took the speedup part from N43SkeletonHound from the isles. Here is the code that seems to work fine as far as the speedup is considered. Alas to implement it I tried editing the Knights.esp and it kills all dialogue options with him becuase the CS corrupts the esp I assume. (Gets loads of warnings in the CS)

 

I am not skilled enough with Wrye Bash or TES4edit to know what to do offhand.

 

In advance, thank you!

 

edit :

 

I used CS and opened a unofficial knights of the nine patch esp and added this script, then used TES4Edit to remove everything but the script. It loads fine, but still Lathorn has no dialogue. Guess the script itself needs tending instead. Any ideas ?

hmm.. it's not my mofifications that is causing the loss of dialogue, Shivering Isles itself is. Bah.. I'll just use CM to make myself another knight follower

 

so, nevermind
