Thanks for the update!

:foodndrink: Merci beaucoup

And...another update.

A bug was introduced in the script in 1.1 which prevented most NPCs from saying their Idles. It's now fixed. (that was kind of counter productive. Silly me. )
Also, I've added a condition to prevent unconscious NPCs from saying their lines. (Most notably Peryite's unconscious worshippers)



The centre of the Market District is most prone to hearing the idle dialogues with all the NPCs wandering around. Or sneaking in NPC-occupied dungeons can help as well.

Thanks, I'll try that out. I also don't have subtitles so it's possible I just didn't hear them spoken, but like I said it's probably just that I haven't played enough. Also like I said guessing about why they left it out of the game, it would be kind of weird to have the idle dialogues being spoken extremely frequently, anyway.

Safe to clean?

My bad. Yep.

Cleaned version uploaded. :foodndrink:

Thank ye.

This mod touches a single NPC - MQ09UndeadBlade01 - with the only change from vanilla Oblivion.esm being the minimum NPC level calculation. I'm guessing this is a wild edit and should be removed?

Thanks for the update. :goodjob:

Thanks indeed.

Looks like all the chargen guys are working properly now

FYI - You should make a note that this requires Shivering Isles. The scripts make reference to some NPCs from SI and users who don't have it will run into problems when the scripts abort due to missing references.

A new problem seems to have been introduced. I was out on the Waterfront and provoked the pirates on the ship into chasing me. Methredel was hanging around the area and started yelling for the guards. Only she kept getting cut off in the process of doing so, and all you'd hear from her would be a syllable or two. Over and over again. It was rather amusing at first, but grew to be irritating. Doesn't seem to happen if I deactivate the mod and provoke the pirates again.

And another edit that I forgot. It was pretty late when I did that one.
Yes it can be removed.



Thanks for the report and the SI notice. I'll check that out. Odd one that is. While "IsTalking" fixed a lot of issues with NPCs saying one idle in the middle of another or in the middle of conversations, I thought it'd affect everytime the NPC say a line. Hmm.

This mod is great - and funny! However it's a little disconcerting when my dinner talks I play as a vampire and after my nightly feeding, my dinner, the maid in Battlehorn Castle, proceeded to mutter something about snow. She was sleeping at the time and did not wake. I guess NPC's can talk in their sleep! :rofl:

On that Waterfront thing, I started a brawl in Bruma and NPCs there seem to be yelling for the guards just fine. Maybe something odd about Methredel's idles?

New version is up!
The new conditions added should stop NPCs from saying idles while asleep, in combat or at the moment the vampire player drank their blood.


Bugfixes:

• Added a condition to the script to prevent sleeping NPCs from saying their idles.
  
• Added a condition to the script to prevent NPCs from saying their Idles if they're in combat.
  
• Added a condition to the script to prevent NPCs from saying their Idles right after the player drank their blood as a vampire.

In addition, Beagle2 from the Nexus told me that Idle Dialogues works with his German version of Oblivion.
I thought that since they did not implement the idle dialogues in the game, they might not have translated them in all languages. So Idle Dialogues will work with any language version of Oblivion.

Cheers! :foodndrink:

Thumbs up! May I suggest you to rename the uploaded file to include the mod name as well? Version_1-3 is not that meaningful in the BAIN package list.

Thanx mucho for the update, Cliffworms. :goodjob:

Ah shucks! My dinner won't talk to me anymore

Thanks for the update Cliffworms!

Done. (Well, a couple of hours ago. )


Someone on the Nexus gave me an excellent idea for the next version: To use the Snorts/Coughs/Throat Clearing/Sighs sounds that are used by NPCs in the middle of conversations for the Idles. I've not yet experimented a lot with them but I know that these dialogue lines have conditions that prevent them from being used in another context than in the middle of conversations. Which means I have to make new dialogue lines, which also means that the voice and lip sync file names will be different.. which means in conclusion that I'd need to make a copy of these files and rename them. This cannot be done since I'd need to include them in the package and would be against the copyrights.

So, to make a long story short. There'll be Snorts/Coughs/Throat Clearing/Sighs in the next version but taken from other sources and recorded by me.

Hello,

Can I use Idle Dialogues with http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=30829?

Thanks!

Yep. The idle dialogues will play as long as the NPCs are in a wander state (When they just walk around doing nothing).
