Easy Lipsync : IV

» Wed Oct 20, 2010 4:13 pm

I've just managed to create 100+ LIP files in one go.
You need:
http://static.gamesas.com/ob-const-set/oblivion-construction-set.exe (you need to uninstall the existing TES CS. Once you install it, you can save the exe file for future use and uninstall-reinstall the newest version)
Speech files in WAV format (I had WAV and MP3 side-by-side.. MP3s possibly necessary)
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11536.
(Wrye bash optional)

This is how to do it:
- Make a second copy of esp AND Sound\Voice\second-copy-of.esp folder. Make sure the esp file and folder containing voice files have matching name.
- Revert the esp to v0.8, so the old TES CS would load it.. I Used Wrye bash to revert it This could be made via TES4Edit, rightclicking in Wrye is much simpler.
- Use TES4Edit to remove all masters, since latest Oblivion.esm is v1.0 and would get rejected by old TES CS. The master list is situated in file header.
- Made sure that RACE group is present with appropriate race(s). If the race(s) are actually recorded in master(s), then you will need to use "copy as override" function to copy them to your esp, and change the FormID number, so it would not be dependent on master. (If the master is Oblivion.esm, then the FormID's first 2 digits will be "00", so you will need to copy the race to esp and change the FormID firs 2 digits to "01" (or greater, depending on number of loaded esm/esps and actual load order of esp in question).
- Close TES4Edit, saving the changes to your esp only.
- Start old TES CS and loaded the masterless esp.
- Click Gameplay/Facial animation.. (and agree to the prompted question) to generate ALL LIP files at once. This function would crash the TES CS if the WAV files are not present.

TES CS wiki gives instructions of how to generate lip files, but on one-by-one basis. This is a working method of how to generate all in one go.

Indeed... Thank you for sharing this old information.

Also you need not to uninstall the new version...in fact I'm looking for a link to the thread that discusses how to have them both installed sense the link http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Dialogue_Tutorial is broken....
