Using the creation kit is by far one of the most unpleasant, angering experiences i have ever had with any engine or creator, in glad this tutorial was here to keep me from losing my mind
Fantum Pixelz I wholeheartedly agree. Bethesda is still insisting on staying stuck in the 90s. It’s terrible... and not good news for any upcoming TES game.
I'd like to thank people like you who take their time to share this knowledge with others. I'm currently building a huge Skyrim DLC mod with a new Island, new experiences, new people and factions, and continuation to the main questline, Dark Brotherhood, and Thieve's Guild questlines all thanks to you.
I'm an American. I have no idea why, but I find it remarkably easier to learn this shit from a guy with a British accent. I probably should have just gone to school in the UK, come to think about it; would have learned my lessons much more effectively from teachers with accents I think.
The first time I tried this in game it didnt work, but then I opened the Kit again and previewed the recording and generated a lip file again and then saved and went back in game and it was working fine. I didnt know what you meant by 'reload' at first, whether you meant the game or KIt but I did both. Thanks for this tutorial
Oh my! Also i am not a native eng user so even if i just follow what you did i am sure i could manage to do. I just start to use CK so it still is very complicated for me. So your videos helps a lot. Thanks for your hard work :)
Thank you. Your video lesson helped me a lot. My quests really didn't work, and the whole problem was that I needed to have a TES5Edit program and create a SEQ file.
Very helpful, thank you very much. The only doubt that I have is how to add the voices from a pre-recorded file, i find the rooting a little confusing the voice file space.
Good day. I edited my modification, which was made on the old version. The NPC does not want to talk. Creating SEQ does not help. Conditions and everything is set up correctly. What can be? Thanks in advance for the answer!
so for the recording step, no file appeared under the audio setting area, yeah just redid the steps to 8:47 again and its still not showing up. The voice type is not appearing, it still lets me record and preview though. Edit: figured it out, I missed the drop box on the actor
Darkfox127 I'm trying to figure out a way to convert Ashers2Asherz Make A Follower Kit to use to make Male Standalone followers. (I'm good friends with Asherz on FB) Not enough Male Followers in Skyrim Modding. Its been a tough one, but if I do I am going to release My own Standalone version of My Thor character and custom voice it. So seeing this vid was super helpful.
I followed this great tutorial. Sadly when I'n ingame, my NPC doesn't talk when I interact with him. Anyone has an idea or solution? Thank you in advance.
I rewatched this tutorial and actually used it to add dialogue to my follower mod but now my follower lost his "follow me" dialogue :/ anything I can do ?
Good video! I've learned quite a bit. I have a question if you don't mind me asking? Can anyone answer this if they know how. How do you make dialogue only appear in specific locations for say a follower. Like I want the dialogue to disappear and only show up say in Whiterun. I thought all I'd have to do was put the character Getisid and Getiscurrentloc-Whiterun.. doesn't seem to work. Dialogue is showing up everywhere still. I want to be able to ask my follower questions about specific places while at them. I got idles working but doing this is not workking...I'm assuming there needs to be different conditions added.
@@BlaBla-lt8id Thank you! I have one more question if you have the time, do you know how to use the script function getformfromfile and make two custom esp followers interact with eachother? I have a Legend of Zelda mod I'm working on and I'd like for Link, Zelda and Ganondorf to all speak to eachother. It's how say Recorder interacts with Ambriel despite them both being separate mods. Or how Lucien interacts with Kaidan. I for the life of me can't find answers on how to do this fully. I know you have to put them as an alias, and fill out properties.
@@simdrew1993 Well... It's probably a condition '' allow world interractions''... sooooomething like that I think! Maybe you could add me on nexus or some so i could help you out further?
@@BlaBla-lt8id Hmm, perhaps. Though I imagine it's a little more complicated then that. Sure I'll add you later on, my computer is currently in for repairs so I can't really work on it at the moment so I'll add you later if I can remember.
I am trying to do this but my NPC simply won't say the dialogue. There is no option to say what I want the player to say. Btw, the guy has a built-in voice. If it is impossible to have a working dialogue with a built-in voice, please may you make a tutorial on how to make a uniquely-voiced innkeeper?
No hopeful for an answer but... How do I add the dialogue from an NPC to a character I created? For instance I wanted to create a child who used some of the lines Dagny uses (the spoiled girl child in Dragonsreach). I also created an argonian who was supposed to be a friend of the player already and I wanted her to say some of the lines Wujeeta uses "It is our most favoured company" How do I get them to say that?
Thanks a for this tutorial, I learned so many things. Sadly, not the things I was looking for, which is modifying the combat dialogue. I want my follower to not speak every 2 sec in combat
Hello how are you, would it be possible if you record the voice of an audio, film or game, so record it with windows and convert it to an mp3 file, can you use it as a new voice for an npc
Brilliant tutorial as always :) Just wondering is there a way to add pre-recorded dialogue for the responses instead of recording them on the spot, and what does the unfuzzer actually do?
It's 2021 October and you can easily add dialog with xvasynth mod and a special plugin for it to create fuz files on it's own...modding rn is simple..all I missed was the seq file generation..after that things workd
So I made my giant 9 tails fox demon follower, (thanks again btw) Now I would very much like to add dialog for him to join only under certain conditions..Such as passing an intimidation check. Any help would be appreciated.
When I press ok after I Typed in the Id theres an error message: "Form's ID is not unique! Previous is type Actor." What does that mean? I set my character to unique.
Daedric Johnson I ended up using the old kit as well but for some other unknown reason that crashed as well in different workflows of the kit so in the end I gave up on creating quests and custom voice followers.
When I try to open the Skyrim.esm file, there is this as warning "MASTERFILE: LOCALIZATION: Lookup failed for ID: 0x000x1254E from strings file: STRINGS/ Skyrim_ENGLISH.DLSTRINGS" What should I do? :(
awesome video man thanks. i want my NPC to give the player a key during the dialogue. I've already seen a tutorial for this which requires quest stages and aliases. Is this the only way to do it or can it be done just as part of the dialogue?
All these videos do the whole.. Voiced follower.. Im a girl..I cant get on the mic and start talking. My follower uses the "Even tone male elf" voice. So will this tutorial even work if I cant record any talking? Or is there another way to add dialogue I should be doing?This seems really complicated. What if I dont want to add an actual voice?
Hey there. Thank you for the content. It has expanded my creation kit/skyrim experience greatly. So check it out. I have a bandit that randomly talks. I got him from the tower before bleakwind barrow. I want to re-create him as a standalone follower but when I duplicate him he doesn't talk randomly. He usually says things like "two threes, fool never saw me pull that ace out of my boot." How can I gain control of the random things they say. And also. When you approach someone and they have certain things they say. Like I duplicated Fianna to make her a maid in my player home but she does not say" don't go tracking dirt on my clean floor." I really want her to say that. But also I need to remove "ain't nobody high and mighty in these halls,except in the jarl." How can I do those things?
Can anybody share me that soft? Most websites contains only restricted version of CK, there's too few tabs in quest window, FE dialogues are absent, even on steam. Pls link some good CK.
Dear DarkFox, thank you for what you do for the entire gaming community, your tutorials are invaluable. I had one question about creating a dialogue and I addressed it to the Nexus's Forum, where they advised me to watch the DarFox's video and said that: "You are a great person!" (I absolutely agree with this). I wanted to create a monologue and did not know how to do it, it turns out that Creatine Kit has an "invisible answer" checkbox, I did not know this and it seems that your tutorial does not mention this. But I have another question: In some mods, I see dialogs in the "Player Dialog" window, but there is nothing in the "Dialog View" window. How it's done? Do you have a tutorial on how to create a dialog without using "Dialog View"? (my english is very poor and i find it hard to search in english resources) Or maybe, can you advise to look at the tutorial of another guy who is just as talented as you?
You just need to download the file from where you want and open it with some unzipper like WinRAR or 7ZIP. There you will usually see some folders like textures, meshes, scripts or just data. Go to Program Files/Steam/Steamapps/Common/Skyrim and drag everything into the data folder.
@@chiccodivers it doesnt sadly but thanks for thinking of it. i will eventually be able to. right now for more reasons than this i cant but i will be able to soon i know it! :)
After i record my voice and click save the LIP and WAV file value still is N not Y. So it doesn't work. Do you have any idea why? i tried recording audio file with other programs create wav with 16bit and 48000hz, then it find the file, in game it works but lips wont move. That's because i don't have lip file, and in CK i cant generate lip file because the box/button for it is grey. I searched internet for 8 hours now and i cant find solution.. please help me
Not sure what any of us would do without you. Thank you.
So the geck of Skyrim functions like the one of New vegas and Fallout 3, So, Guess that search tutorials of New vegas or fallout 3 of the geck?

Goodluck mate
The creation kit is infinitely more confusing than I thought. Prepare to obtain 7 extra views just from me rewatching this over and over.
The creation kit is not intuitive at all. Thanks to you bits and pieces start to fit together. Thanks and well done!
Please, keep those videos coming.
If you don't think this is intuitive, then you should see other engines lol.
