[Taylah Haines]

I'm experiencing a small glitch with Heart of the Dead. The animations when using magic, opening doors, containers etc are really really slow.
It took about 2 minutes to open a door in the quest with the 3 tablets and the big pillar...

It's kind of annoying and sometimes blocks my vision, so any help will be appreciated.

I don't have a lot of mods active and I tried moving the esp both at the beginning of the load order as well as the end.
Can BOSS help me out?

Amazing Mod BTW!!!!

I have no clue what this could be. Anyone have any ideas?

Possibly the animation bomb? That can be fixed with Wrye Bash by going to the saves tab, right clicking the affected save file, and using "repair abomb".

[phil walsh]

It's definitely the animation bug. You can fix it by trying this http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5127

[Christina Trayler]

You get the reward for the strangest bug so far.

The dungeons are fine on my version, so I'm not sure what this could possibly be. Are you sure it was from 5.3 to 5.6? Are you sure it wasn't and earlier 4.x version?

It might also be a corrupt BSA. You might try downloading the fulle 5.6 version and try it.

-Middark

Thanks for the reply. It was at least 5.0. I know I looked at my version before I upgraded to 5.6. Said 5.3.
But, it's all good. Once through Ur's facility everything worked fine again and I've completed the mod. Great
work. Didn't have to fight, fight, fight with it like >some< other mods. :rolleyes:

I'm glad you made it past that. Like I said, not sure what happened. Glad you liked it!

Installation questions:

The CM Partners .esm file that is included in the download - is it required for HOD? Is it only required if I am running CM Partners (which I am not)?

The readme does not mention this file specifically either under requirements or in the installation section. It only mentions it under Credits, where it does mention that HOD uses a heavily modified version of CM Partners. Also, CM Partners .esm is not listed as a master for HOD.

Yes, the esm included is needed. It won't give you the other companions, however. For that you need the CM Partners esp. This just uses the data inside the esm.

Hello all:

For of those of you wondering what's up with both the website and the nexus file for Heart of the Dead, it's not by accident. Something big is coming down the pipe, and I'm preparing the way.

Expect a huge announcement in the next day or two.

:woot: :woot: :woot: I can't wait!

[Amelia Pritchard]

It was right decision to wait for some more updates before downloading this mod, sounds interesting!

THE BIG ONE IS HERE!!!

The Heart

Of The Dead

meant to be played...

===================================
NOTES ON THE VOICES:
===================================

- Not all minor characters have voice. I decided to leave the characters of Oblivion alone with no
voice so that it wouldn't be a jarring difference. Therefore the countess of Chorrol, her adviser,
and a couple of others will still need subtitles to read their dialog.


- It's still better to have the subtitles on while playing, as some of the detail text and a couple of
minor characters do not have VO. See note above.

- The actress who played Kat had some serious things happen in her life, which left Kat with no
companion dialog. However, I did manage to scrounge together pieces of VO from her other dialog.
It's obviously more generic, but it worked.

If you wish to switch her old unique text companion dialog back on, simply open the console [~]
and type:

set cmPartnersQuest2.HODKatDialogSwitch to 1

===================================
OTHER NOTES:
===================================

There is no update from 5.x to 6.0. Too much has changed. You will need to download the full 6.0 version
in order to play with the the VO.

A special THANKS goes out to the wonderful actors who took time out of their busy schedules to see this
come to life:

- WhoGuru
- Purple_Gandalf
- Michael Butchin (with Robert Dorf on technical support)
- Dark Rider
- Greenwarden
- Euther

Thanks you all! Now enjoy!!

I'm on ur interwebs Middark, stealing ur bandwidthz.

:goodjob:

[Kitana Lucas]

I'm having a problem, it could be a bug or I'm probably just missing something... but I can't think of what.

I just downloaded the latest version of the mod, but I was running the previous version when I encountered the problem. It's still happening though.

*SPOILERS BELOW*

Spoiler

When you go to Chorrol to read the inscription on Mara's statue, are you supposed to be able to interact with it (the main "Dying Soldier" statue)? It's not letting me. I solved the riddle of the Song of Three book, I had the nightmare, but when I go to Chorrol I don't get the option to read any inscription on the statue. There's no way to interact with it. I used the Translation spell, nothing. Put on the King's helm, nothing. I'm supposed to see some kind of portal but I don't see that, either.

Does Better Cities conflict with this mod? If that's the case, I deactivated it and I still get the problem, so maybe it's too late to continue...

It's been great so far and I don't wanna stop now!

Not the dying soldier statue. Head into the cathedral and click on the Mara altar.

D'oh! I ran around town hitting space on every statue I could find! I didn't even think about trying the Chapel... thanks a ton! Much appreciated!

It's likely Nexus having issues...again. :rolleyes: LOL Download from the Heart of the Dead site instead here - http://www.heartofthedead.com/HODDownload.html
I downloaded mine from the HotD site and everything came out fine so I know those files are good.

Also, make sure it's not your download manager corrupting the files. Download something simple like an image and see if it comes out alright. It happens sometimes. Irritating but easy to fix by reinstalling your download manager if that is the cause.
