I've looked all over the tutorials. Scanned every inch of the construction set screen. And don't see how I can do this.

The menu it gives me when I select "Race..." shows me stuff I don't care about. Such as the ID, Name, Skill Bonuses, Base Attributes, Specials, Height/Weight, and a Playable or Beast Race checkboxes. With a box for Description. But nothing shows up to change the race's voices, what speechfiles NPC's address them with, or anything that actually matters.

Am I missing something?

Sound files for NPCs are set in the dialogue window (under the 'voice' tab).

Thanks. Going to voice and selecting "hit" to get the sounds for the PC back worked for one part. I still have no clue how to change dialogue that the NPC's say though. I know it's in the "Hello" area. But I don't know how to figure out which number is assigned to the custom race. 6 is a khajiit, 10 is a woodelf... but where can I find out what number belongs to the custom races?

I'm using this mod if it helps.

It doesn't seem like the authors are planning on updating it anymore. So I'm taking the opportunity to personally fix it for my own game instead. The NPC's should call me a Khajiit because that's what I still am, even if it's a different subspecies of one. But as it is now they're annoyingly silent =/

Thought about changing the variable to something like > 6 agility so it'd always activate but that'd screw up games where I'm using the vanilla races. Meh.

Ah, okay, I see what you're doing.

There are three things happening which will set that race value in dialogue. The first step is speaking to Socucius Ergalla. The script on this actor (CharGenClassNPC) will trigger a global script RaceCheck (this is the important one), and this in turn sets the value of a global variable, PCRace tracked by dialogue.

The short end of the explanation is to just edit the RaceCheck script with the following before the last 'endif';

elseif ( Player-> GetRace, MyRace == 1 )           set PCRace to 11

If the race ID has a space, then use quotes i.e. "my race"

Ohhh kay... that seems a bit too complicated for me. I'm well past talking to Cocucius Ergalla anyways. Thanks for the quick help sorry I took so long to check back.

Nah, not really that difficult, and it's never too late to have a simple script set the value. Just depends on what type of condition you prefer.

cant you just console it for a game in progress?

set PCRace to 11

with that command?

Since it's a global variable it may compile in the console but I don't think it would do anything, since PCRace is conditional on GetRace.
