How to make NPC talk also Loading and saving prob

[Lordofthehall]

I have been away from modding for a while then when I was going to come back Spore came out lol :thumbsup:

 

Any way I Have forgot how to make NPC talk not use sound but just talk in words,

 

And I have made a mod and now when I go and Load it to carry on my work and then try and save it, it says File in use?!?! How do I get around that if I save it under a different name it will duplicate all my older work. :wallbash:

 

 

Thanks! :biggrin:

Didn't really understand that second part...

 

But to add dialogue to an NPC, all you have to do is create a quest. This doesn't have to be an actual journal-entry, go-there-kill-that-get-reward quest. Create the quest, then go to the topics tab, add a topic, then set conditions so the NPCs you want will say it. Oh, and don't forget to write a script for the quest that adds the topic to the PC's known topics.

 

I don't know what experience you have with the CS, so if you need more details than that, let me know.

Thanks!

 

How do I write a Script for them to say it?

 

What I meant by the other question is,

 

I spent 5 hours making a mod last night but now I open it then when I put some new additions to the mod and go and save it, it says this file is in use.

 

When I save it this is what I do, File save then I click on the mod I am putting ad dons on it then press save it says 'This file is in use'

 

I open up, Oblivion.esp and my mod I am working on.esp then save it on my mod I am working on.esp

 

Tell if that make any seance or not :thumbsup:

 

:thanks:

open the CS, choose your mod, at the bottom of the window there is a button that reads "set as active file" click on that and then the OK button. I don't know how much you know about the CS but I had the same problem when I first started working with it. It was because I didn't set the file as active.

Thanks mate!

:thanks:

 

I just need to know the scripts so that my NPC will say the topic I have given it, I need him to say it on Greeting I will take a look at tuts on the internet in the mean time.

 

 

I started CS a few years back I stopped and started again and then stopped again now I am back again :biggrin:
