The objective is to find a way to argue with the person before you!

I made a quest that at a specific stage gives Valga Vinicia (an alias in my quest) a package based on the forcegreet template. If i keep the default "(hello)" in the package's Topic data, she correctly says a greeting line and opens the player's dialogue options. But if instead i try to set it to a specific dialogue topic that i created, nothing happens at all. The topic is from a Normal (not Top Level) Branch, has a priority of 50, and the only condition it has is that the speaker must be in the innkeeper faction. Why is the forcegreet not working with my custom dialogue topic? (I also generated the SEQ file from tes5edit) Thanks for reading

I'm creating a quest on my mod but when I try to add the third topic of my quest mod, I realized there are no more empty topics left! How do you add more quest topics?

Hello, I am making a custom voiced follower mod. I have a really frustrating problem: after my follower speaks an idle or hello topic the possibility to enter other dialogue with her gets disabled. The topics are shown, but I can't click/fire them. They are only available again after fast traveling or on entering/exiting an interior (in other words loading a new cell enables them again). The strange thing is, that they work normally on random occasions, but mostly they don't. It is like the actor stays occupied/reserved by the idle topic until loading. I have two quests for my follower: generic dialogue and custom follower quest. Everything else works just fine, but after I added hello and idle topics to the generic dialogue the problem I described occurred. I have tried to alter the flags on dialogue alias tab and conditions in the topics, but nothing seems to help. Maybe I haven't found the right things? I really hope, that someone could help with this.

So, I've been working on a small companion mod, one of the issues I've run into is that in game none of the top level topics actually show up in the dialogue list. The only two that do are the trade and wait tabs and they dont actually use the resultscripts it appears. According to all the tutorials I've seen the dialogue is just typed in the topic tab of a quest and the GetisId function is set to the NPC who's dialogue you're writing, which I've done, but it just doesn't appear to work. Thank you for reading and I hope I get some support.

So I have one great mod request for Skyrim (In my opinion) and I've been posting on it and so have others. I only got permission for others add to Haven Bag recently. And then I come and check if anyones replied but my topic wasn't there. So then I checked my content and it was there but red. When I clicked on it, it said it couldn't find it and that I didn't have permission. Please help!

When adding a new topic to the discussions tab of a mod page (through the mod page), there will be bugs when the entered topic name is too long. What happened for me was that the text I entered appeared in another, already existing topic as a reply.

Alright another problem hoping someone can solve it once again..dear god i know i am starting to annoy people here..with all this topics of help and what not but where else to ask :/ Anyways my Tes Construction Kit crashes upon trying to create new conversation's topic or something, i for example add greeting, when i am about to add text for it, woop CRASH!..i can hear TES Construction Kit laughing at me each time for it, and i don't know what to do where is the problem i tried almost everything and no hope for it yet..

So I am trying to create my own quest in the Oblivion Construction Set, but it isn't going the way I had hoped. Mainly because things aren't working the way that they are supposed to. Specifically topics not showing up and NPC's not being enabled or disabled when I want them to. My first major problem is that the custom topics that I created are not showing when they are supposed to. For example, the quest is about helping an Argonian locate his missing brother. It starts when you pick up a letter from said Argonian, and that part works just fine. You are then supposed to be able to speak with the Argonian now that the topic "Missing Brother" (editor ID for the topic is 0MissingBrother) is available...but the topic isn't there. Despite the fact that I have tried adding "addtopic <topicname>" AND "player.addtopic <topicname>" to both the script attached to the letter to begin the quest AND the result script in the Topic tab for the quest! Also, I have put in conditions for the dialogue with GetIsId and GetStage to ensure only the NPC's I want to have that topic available will have the topic. But the topic doesn't show up and I have no idea why! That's only the first problem. The second problem is that certain NPC's I made are supposed to be enabled (since I ticked the box "Initially Disabled" on them) at certain points in the quest. However, I tried putting "enable <RefID>" in the result script. But the NPC's didn't show up! So I am pretty sure that the NPC's I want disabled at certain quest stages won't disable when they're supposed to either. I would appreciate as much help as possible, and please provide as much detail as possible because I have difficulty understanding certain directions (special needs >.<; ). Every tutorial I could find has essentially failed me, so I am officially lost at this point. :/

Hello all, I recently was able to solve some issues with a custom voiced follower I've been working on. However after making custom topics in my own quest line to control follower functions (i.e. "I Need To Trade Some Things With You.") I deleted the entries I previously had in the 'DialogueFollower' quest, which I originally used (I for some reason could not get the custom voice files to play in 'DialogueFollower' even though they were all conditioned correctly, placed in the correct paths for playback, and had the correct script fragments for functionality.) So after adding the SAME options in MY quest I made to control my followers ect... dialogue lines, whenever I speak to her ALL the lines work and their functions, but the old topics still remain, even though I deleted the entries. I'm not sure what I did, or if, once adding entries in the vanilla quest branch topics, they are like... permanently options for my actor? If anyone has an idea of why I'm experiencing this issue I would greatly appreciate your help. (Additional Information Worth Considering) 1. I have my followers voicetype added to several "DefaultNPCVoiceType/GenericFavor" formlists. 2. I have not regenerated a new SEQ file since removing the 'previous entries', I will test that now. 3. I wanted to have my follower function under the vanilla follower framework, as to make it compatible for a wider array of users, including those who may not be well knowledgeable using follower mods and the like, but I couldn't get many of the 'DialogueFollower' topics to work right, I'm going to try a different approach right now to see if I have some success, but will save my old .esp so I can work off that for any who wish to assist (for the purpose of working off that platform). 4. If you're first inclination is to send me a link of one of the several typical YouTube tutorials then please don't bother. But if you know of one that's less viewed that's more comprehensive then by all means. Thank you for your time.

Has someone experience with blocking topics? My npcs speak always the topic but mostly not the dialogue that the topic is linked to. It is cutted off. But not always. It seems to happen if the npc or the player is moving while the topic is spoken. But I'm not sure about that. What can I do to make sure that the linked dialogue will fire? Greetings from Tasheni

I am, or better said was, primarily a Windows user. The first computer I got had Win95, later as Microsoft continued to develop it I also got Win98, WinXP and Win7. I was always willing to tolerate it's problems but right now I'm just sick of the fact that every Windows version turns out to be a failure to me. It fails to meet my expectations and requirements, and I'm not that demanding. All I ever required and demanded was that something I pay 100$ actually functions correctly and that I can use it the way I want. Unfortunately, it seems I am a fool asking for the one thing that's never going to happen. :( Anyway, I went through four different versions of Windows in ten years, I've also had a chance to use other versions like Win2000 and WinNT and I have to say, I was never satisfied with any of them. They are all broke, each in it's own way and as far as I can tell, there is no way to fix them. :confused: Win95 often crashed my programs, no matter what I did to prevent that. Luckily, it was rather obsolete when I got my first comp so it was replaced soon by Win98 which would instead give me annoying error messages every half an hour and it really liked to show off it's BSOD screen. WinXP wasn't much different than 98 but a least errors and BSODs would happen less often. And then we come to Win7 which I have for a month now, it's UAC that gives me headaches, updates that break my PC every now and then and the fact that installing some programs or drivers tends to cause fatal system failures (it especially hates AMD drivers and DirectX). :rolleyes: I tolerated that, all of it, because I was constantly thinking about how much I paid for that thing and how I should give it one more chance. Well, that was my thinking until today, no longer. Windows screwed me over pretty bad this morning, Win7 forcibly restarted, without a warning, to install updates while I was doing something which cost me half an hour of work. I would've tolerated it, if the bloody thing actually wanted to boot after it finished updating. It updates, boots, fatal hardware failure BSOD on login, reboot in safe mode, BSOD on login, Insert CD and repair Windows, BSOD on login. I couldn't even start it to see what the problem is. After 5 hours of work I somehow managed to roll it back to before the update and let it update again, it worked fine this time. For the love of god, it screwed itself up during updating. :blink: It's freakin' mind-blowing that one of the most expensive and most widely used operating systems can't even update itself correctly. :facepalm: Then half the programs I have wouldn't even start so I had to repair it again, all my UI customizations are gone, all the settings I changed got reset, it's all gone. A month worth of customizing this thing to actually feel useful is gone, that's when I snapped. If I am to use something then I will use it the way I want it, not the way I'm forced to use it. If it doesn't work like that, it's not worth my time. :dry: I mean yeah, the UI looks great and some things that got added over the years are really handy but if I have to suffer through another one of it's fatal errors I'll tear the hard drive out with a crowbar and an axe. Ten years of same problems over and over again for god's sake, what's enough is enough. :armscrossed: So now I'm switching everything but my games to something I was always impressed with, Linux (to be more specific, Ubuntu). I'll still keep Windows around for now because of my games but I definitely won't use it for anything else. And by the end of this month I'll be switching to Linux completely and removing the Microsoft's spawn of satan called Windows forever. :biggrin: Since I really like to write on this ancient keyboard, I'll write. So, first time I saw a Linux based OS I thought it's a piece of crap, it was Ubuntu 5.04 in 6th grade (my school was the first in Croatia to use a Linux based OS), it looked pretty complicated to use and rather limited compared to, at the time, much more dominant WinXP. But a week later I had a chance to use it myself and I was amazed by two things, it's speed and it's low RAM usage. It was also more handy than Windows when it comes to some things. I haven't been able to use it for a while since then so I completely forgot about it. Three years later I started using it again, this time it was Ubuntu 7.04 in my first year of middle school. I went through many different versions as it got updated, each better than the previous. That thing was quite fast, even compared to 64-bit WinXP most other computers in the classroom had. I was told to work on it and after a while I really got used to Gnome shell environment and it's terminal-based commands. I also had a chance to test it's stability and it was nearly indestructible. Nearly. :whistling: I still prefered Windows because it wasn't as limited but Ubuntu was something I really enjoyed using and customizing, it was almost limitless when it comes to customization. :smile: But it got forgotten again due to the fact that internet had quite a few limitations around here until about 18 months ago, from low speed to having a 512MB max data limit and Linux wasn't the most popular OS so I couldn't get it anywhere. There was also the problem of me being sent to military training at the age of 16 so I couldn't use my computer much. :( I got to see a few DELL laptops with Ubuntu though but those things were rare. Anyway, since I have a lot less work to do lately and I got reminded of good old Ubuntu, I set up a WinXP/Ubuntu 12.04 dual-boot (it later became Win7/Ubuntu dual-boot) three months ago. Gotta say, it really changed as the years passed, the new UI is prettier, it has better support for Windows/Mac programs than 9.10 and and a much greater variety of customizations. It changed like wine, it got better as years passed. :thumbsup: I managed to use it with no problems and customize it to a far greater extent in 3 months than I've ever been able to modify Windows in the past 10 years. It took me a bit to get used to the new UI but it became pretty darn simple after an hour or two. And I already knew a lot about it so using it again is not a problem at all. I always used Windows because I constantly got forced to use it throughout my life, by school for a time and later by the programs I used. Now that I look back it's not such a great thing after all, it's good for those who like to play games that depend on it and people who prefer simplicity but that simplicity comes at a cost of stability, at least for me. I know Linux has it's problems as well, I'm not stupid. It's just that those problems for me are far less severe, far less common and they're also far easier to solve because of the way this thing works. And hell, it's a free OS, I didn't pay anything for it so if it starts bugging out on me I'll just get rid of it and get a new one without regretting a thing. There's plenty of other free flavors of Linux to choose from as well. :happy: And yeah, I know plenty of you use and praise Windows but I've lost all faith in it over the years I've been using it, it's just not good enough for me and I doubt it will ever be. I might even try getting Debian GNU instead of it, I've seen it once or twice but I never got to actually try it out, it uses gnome shell if I recall correctly so it should be simple to use. And that's it, I'm done writing. This whole thread is just my thinking and a huge rant. You can like it or not, I don't care. If you want, feel free to voice your opinion on what I said, it's always good to hear what others think to get a better perspective on things. :yes:
