Hey guys, sorry I've been gone all this time! I've just started a new job, so I've had limited time to be online, but I'm willing to help with whatever needs done. Do you guys still want me to test the new files?

Well, you (or Bette or Sigrid) can write up a file description for me and get some images of the mod in action... BECAUSE IT'S FINALLY DONE!!! :dance:

Holy Macaroni. I can't believe it!

 

That's so awesome, Shadow!

 

I'm working on a description and getting some images/design up atm and I'll share them with you guys on dropbox before we decide on anything.

 

I can't even believe it - this is so great :D Well done Bette, Shadow and Kiddo - if I do say so myself, I think we made a fine team :wink:

 

 

Are we all still on board to keep on with version 1.1, etc.? Because I know I am :smile:

 

 

Wow!!! Yes Shadow, that's fantastic! You rock! I can't believe how quickly this all came together!

 

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the description, Sigrid!

 

Great job Shadow, Sigrid, and Kiddo, and thanks for all the hard work! This is so exciting!!

 

And I'm totally on board to keep working on the next version too! I agree, I think we make a great team and I hope we can all continue working together on this mod going forward!

 

 

In other news: Far Harbor, guys. FAR HARBOR.

 

 

I don't know about you, but I've been enjoying the hell out of it so far :tongue:

 

You know, I think it's kind of fun that we were able to put the mod out the same day Far Harbor arrived! As far as I know Bethesda didn't add him as a romance option in the DLC like some were hoping... but by golly we still found a way to make it happen!

Nothing short of an absolutely incredible job from you guys. It was awesome to see this mod grow over the past few months, from a random person's idea, to audio files, to lipsync, to the complete end product! You four have done God's work and I among many will never be able to thank you enough for that!

 

Found one bug though. Nick only repeats one line when asked about relationship status. "I got you, there's nothing else one old bot could ask for" or something along those lines. Other than that, no complaints. Again, thank you so much for the mod!

 

EDIT: Found another bug. His "second chance to romance" dialogue doesn't trigger, even after numerous ingame weeks. Not sure if you guys worked on this at all, though.

This is so great to hear! I wish I could've done more to help, I feel like I floundered around in the CK more than anything haha. But seriously, this is amazing work from shadowslasher, sigrid, and bettecorvega. You guys are awesome! I promise I will upload some pics. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a certain toaster whose metal heart I must make mine...

Hey guys!

Well done Bette and Shadow and Kiddo for the many hours tinkering, scripting, bug fixing, generating files, researching, splicing audio and all the rest! It’s super exciting to finally have our first version of the mod up and available to the public, and it’s also a great opportunity for us to listen to what people are saying so we can improve for version 2.

 

There are still a few rough edges that need to be polished, most of these we were aware of already. Nevertheless, I’ve come up with a short list of things that I know still need fixing.

 

Obviously, we’re all free to work on what we want :tongue: But I’ve also included some suggestions as to who I think should work on which problem, based on what I believe would be the most efficient use of our respective abilities.

 

Things To Fix:

  • New Infatuation Repeater Scene. I’m not sure if a basic one was implemented in the mod at the moment, but I can confirm it’s not working :sad: This would also mean that people don’t have to start a new game to use our mod, and that’s already been brought up a few times by people looking to download it.
    Bette, I know you were working on the final version of the scene, so would you be able to implement your audio into the mod? Or perhaps send it to Shadow first in case Shadow wants to edit it with Audio Audition?

  • Nick’s Subtitles and Expressions. I’m a copywriter/editor in RL, so this is a matter of professional pride to me! I’ve had one final read-through of the dialogue and uploaded it to my dropbox here. Kiddo, would you be able to open up the mod and copy/paste in the subtitles from that document, as well as making sure that all Nick’s facial expressions match the ones highlighted?

  • Miscellaneous Bugs. Shadow, you’re on bug fixing duty. We always knew it was going to come to this because you probably know your way around the CK better than the three of us put together :tongue:
    So far, we know that there is something wrong with Nick’s romance idle dialogue that makes him only repeat the line ‘I got you, there's nothing else one old bot could ask for,’ instead of cycling through the lines like he should.

     

In the meantime, I’m working on some art for the nexus page, (design and screenshots, but feel free to send me some of your own screenshots if you’ve got any good ones!) and I might make a video for the page too if I can. I’m also writing up a description about the mod, which you guys can read over here on my dropbox. It’s still a work-in-progress, so if you have anything to add let me know!

And on the topic of art, I have a little teaser image for you guys! :D It’s not finished yet, so please don’t upload it! But it should be all done and ready to go tomorrow if you’re all happy with it :wink:

 

 

Well, that just about wraps up my rambling for one evening. Sorry to drag you guys away from Far Harbor with our newly-romanceable toaster, but I think we’ve come so far and I’m feeling inspired to just keep this train moving! Well done again, guys! :wink:

 

 

EDIT: Sorry guys, realised I'd forgotten a link to the description. It's up now. I also thought I'd colour in your names so that you could better see who I was talking to, so I thoughtfully coloured them all black so that they blended in with the background... :/ It's late, guys!

Thanks for making a list of all the issues that need fixing for the next version of the mod Sigrid! Everyone ready to jump in for round two?

 

Regarding the Infatuation Repeater Scene:

 

There is an infatuation repeater scene currently present in the mod, although it is not showing up in the game.

 

Shadow, I took a look at what you had for this scene in the CK and I do think the audio is smooth and sounds good, and I am impressed that you put it together so quickly!

 

However, it is much shorter than the repeater scenes for the other companions, so I wonder if we might consider updating it in the next version to make it more like the vanilla romances.

 

If everyone is open to it, I'd still like to share the longer version of this scene that I was working on with you guys and see what you think about using it, at least in part, to make the scene match the vanilla game more.

 

If we like it I would be happy to either implement it myself or to send it to Shadow to edit first with Audition (I'm just using Audacity myself) or to combine in some way with her version.

 

Of course, the most important thing would just be to get the scene to show up in the game at all! While I'm at it, I'll compare it to the repeater scenes for the other companions and see if I can figure out why it isn't showing up, but that may be another bug that Shadow needs to take a look at since it's a CK issue.

 

Regarding the Miscellaneous Bugs:

 

From the feedback it sounds like it might just be the answers to the "Relationship?" question specifically that aren't cycling.

Right-O! I think I fixed the looping dialogue bug (I forgot to make a new phase for the romance dialogue, I think that's why it bugged out). I'll look at the repeater scene as well, see if I can't get that up and running. And feel free to show us the one you've been working on, Bette. I'm sure it's great!

 

EDIT: OK, I forgot a flag in the repeater scene. I'm pretty sure that was what was causing it to bug out. It should be fixed now.

Hi guys, some important matters here.

 

Firstly, all uploads from now on must be approved by all of us before they go live.

 

Our mod going live to the public is the most important thing. It reflects on all of us, so it’s only fair that we all should have the chance to approve it. The four of us are a team.

 

Secondly, all four of us have put a lot of effort into this mod. We don’t get paid. One of the few rewards is the credit that we get for our hard work.

 

There should be no ambiguity about who worked on this mod. For instance, in the Creation Kit under the section ‘creators’ for the .esp it just says, ‘shadowslasher410 et al’. This is unacceptable.

 

All places where credit is given must be updated to clearly include everyone immediately.

The artwork is almost done, guys ;) Will show you all shortly.

 

 

Also, has everyone had a chance to look over the description for Nexus Mods and Bethesda.net? It would be good to make sure that everyone’s read over it before we upload it, as I have changed a lot of things and it includes you all!

 

Now, I’ve downloaded the latest version of the mod from Nexus (v1.1), and it’s still not working for me :/ Romance infatuation repeater scene is just not triggering. I’m not sure what’s causing this.

 

Because of this, I haven’t been able to make a video for the mod. I do plan to do this in the future, but of course if any of you guys would like to have a go you’re more than welcome.

 

I did notice that someone made a video of our mod (and it looks like they’re playing on Xbox One?) and Shadow shared that to the page, which is awesome :) So at least now we have something people can look at when they’re checking to see if they want to download it.

 

 

Also, how are we going about updating Nick’s subtitles and expressions?

 

I know this may seem like I’m being pedantic about the subtitles, but I’m a copywriter and editor by trade – I’m paid to be pedantic ;) They do need to be fixed, and it reflects poorly on all of us if we upload something that’s not as good as it could be. This mod is damn good, and we should be proud of everything we’ve achieved. Let’s not sell ourselves short by putting up things that are half-done.

 

I know I’ve said it before, but I really do think this mod is great. We’ve all worked our arses off and I for one am very happy with what we've all done.
