Duplicate Dialogue

[GalimeerKandarus]

What I'm trying to to do is create a new NPC with modified existing dialogue; a female Dremora Lord to be specific -- identical to the vanilla Dremora Lord but with a different body shape and a different voice.

 

I already have the new sound files, a new Voice Type assigned to my NPC, and I've found the existing dialogue stuff in both Creation Kit and TES5Edit.

The problem is that when I try to duplicate the lines in Creation Kit, instead of getting a new "box full of stuff" (the Dialogue Quest with all of the lines and various values associated with them), I only get the "box" (an empty Dialogue Quest).

When I try it in TES5Edit, "Copy as New Record" acts identically to "Copy as Override."

 

I'd rather not do it the hard way and recreate every single line, flags,emotion values, script, and all, but I'm out of ideas and the internet has been relatively unhelpful thus far.

 

I'm fairly well-versed in the above-mentioned programs, but this is the most advanced mod I've made thus far.

So does anyone have any tips and/or tricks on how to do this? Or am I doing something wrong?

Are you duplicating a dialogue quest - If so then you will not get any dialogue from the original quest, the CK does not duplicate the dialogue.

I'm no expert, but do you actually need to copy the quest?

 

If your dialogue is identical then all you should surely need to do is add the new voice files to the existing quest, and maybe double check (or add) conditions?
