Since you're saying you should keep the number of mods loaded before Julan constant, would redating the mod so it's always first work for freedom in adding/removing other mods?

Okay, major frustration time.

I know that Shani is supposed to go wandering off somewhere, but I can't seem to trigger that part. I've spoken to everyone I can think of, with and without Julan in tow, and I am stumped.

Help!?!

Yep. As long as you don't have any mods loading before Julan, you should be fine.

Whereabouts are you in the main quest/Julan's quest? (Please use spoiler tags as needed!)

Get ready Kateri, I'm starting to write a fanfiction with my Morrowind character, and Julan is gonna be my right-hand man throughout

Yay! Be sure to send me a link!

SO i fly over to ghostgate and get this:
any idea what its is, i'm using dirnae's animation replacer, if that helps

^ he is first in line

i seem to have lost the companion share i saw"Added mechanism to re-add companion share if it gets lost somehow." so how do i get it turned back on.

Edit: spelling

Run LizTail's animation kit and select fix animation errors. If that doesn't work, you'll have to take Dirnae's animation replacer out and re-install Julan's animation files from the archive - they're the three files ending in either .nif or .kf. To remove Dirnae's animation replacer, look for three files that say base_anim (or xbase_anim) and end in either .nif or .kf and delete them from the Data Files\meshes folder.

thanks jac! i'll try that out but i dont thinks its dirnae's animation as it only effects the player but i'll try anyway. suspicious as a skeleton from farrps weapon mod (skeleton???) had the same errors as julan.................. :confused: i'll find out.............. oh and sorry i took up the WHOLE page i didn't realise it was so bug and i couldn't figure out how to do that little spoiler box thing.......... <_<

It should get readded if you tell him to wait, and then tell him to follow you again.

If that fails, open console, click Julan, type: set companion to 1

(and, so I can see if it needs fixing, which fight?)

If I remember correctly, LizTail's animation kit applies animations to all NPCs and the player, that would explain why Julan's having issues. The kit adds "missing"* toe and tail bones and is the reason why it can break animation files. Running the fix animation function adds those "missing" bones into every active animation file. For Julan, you might need to just re-install his animation files, but even that may not work.

*the missing bones are for the beast races and I really don't know why LT felt the need to add them, but whatever. I'd use his kit with care and only if you know exactly what it does and how to fix things like this. I posted a version of Dirnae's new animation files that removed those bones and overwrote the default male animations; check his thread for a link.

it's not my first time through this mod though i think the issue is on my end i have like 218 mods active in the game with few conflicts i'll have to go over all the companions i have in the game and see i know i have a few to many.

The weird thing is that I don't even think you're supposed to lose companion share while he's mad at you. When exactly did it vanish?

i do have a house mod that adds a companion that i think might conflicting since the companion options for the companion don't work, i can't remember the name right now though. i do know i have at least 8 companion mods in the game which is kinda asking for trouble. i know a couple of them are ok since i used them in a prior game with julan.

Yeah, I can't see anything in the scripts at that moment in the game that deliberately removes companion share, so it IS a bug, but I'm not sure if it's that other mod causing it. Did you fix it ok with the console command? If it keeps vanishing, lemme know if you notice a pattern, like where/what you're doing, that sort of thing. Thanks for the info!

i consoled it back and seems fine now i'll look through my mods a bit and see if i can figure out which is causing the conflict. If it disappears aging i'll note when where why and how. Thanks for the help and the great companion.

Well I let Julan have an entire series of a certain book, and he got drunk. It's been at least 2 ingame days, and he's still drunk. Is there a way to sober him up?

Sleeping should sober him up. If it doesn't, Kat should have a console command for you that'll do it.

Yes, make sure you sleep, not wait.

I feel like an idiot. What an obvious solution. Thanks
