TheKingofKucks Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) So, I've been having this issue for about a week now. Can't get any progress done. No matter the voicetype, no matter the NPC, no matter how many new saves I create to test, no matter the NPC, I can't get them to SPEAK their dialogue. The subtitles work just fine, however their dialogue never works. And yes, the NPC I'm trying to get to speak has the correct voice type. The following things are solutions I've attempted, but to no avail:- Different microphones- Recording with Audacity, then using those files as dialogue instead of the in-engine recorder- Using all the different HZs provided by the in-engine recorder- Loading the cell the NPC is in via the main menu (clean save)- Saving and reloading after the clean save- Creating and placing an SEQ file in the Data/SEQ folder.- Forcing the Alias of the NPC in Greeting. ----I can listen to the audio files outside of the game just fine btw. This particular bug has caused me much grief. In all my time of modding all Bethesda games, this issue has not occurred once. I'd appreciate any help.

steve40 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 All I can suggest is to check that you are saving the files in a compatible format using a compatible bitrate (e.g. mono 192000 Hz 32-bit float). Try WAV but also try converting to XWM. Where one format might not play in-game, the other just might. Also check that there are no conditions on the dialogue quest forms that might be preventing them from playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the WAV and XWM are detected by the CK. It is a shame this does not work :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve40 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 What about lip files, iirc those might be needed for the dialog to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKingofKucks Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 What about lip files, iirc those might be needed for the dialog to work. Sorry for not responding sooner. I cannot generate LIP files, because it appears the only solution I know how (using Creation Kit 32-bit in the Tools folder) to generate the lip files refuses to read any data files, including Fallout4.esp, because those data files are newer than what CK-32bit can support. I've heard about using the Skyrim CK to do lip files, but I'm unsure if it'd work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKingofKucks Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 Update: I was able to update CK32bit, and generated LIP files. This did not fix the dialogue. Although there are subtimes, and facial anims there are no words spoken. It is a cruel fate, but I believe it is all a lost cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve40 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I don't know if you have tried this method for generating lip files, maybe it will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKKmods Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Can you play the voice files from within the topicinfo UI ? If yes but they are not playing in game I find that [Menu : File : Create Archive ] packing them into a "ESPFileName - Main.BA2" archive will then play them. For some reason new loose voice files are often ignored (yes, even with archive invalidation blah enabled.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
