Subtitling NPC for other language

Post » Thu Aug 07, 2014 7:35 pm

Hi all. Basically I am working on a mod in which the player meets with a group of non hostile Falmer and has a conversation. Now, obviously the Falmer do not speak "tamrialic" and so recording voice actors is not an option for the dialogue. To address this, I am planning on setting the dialogue responses to sound the simple battle cries heared from the falmer during regular gameplay, and then subtitle over these. However, I don't want to make the user have subtitles enabled just to play my mod, and am unable to use the "force subtitles" check box (no subtitles show if the option is not checked in-game) Any suggestions? I have considered using debug messages but having the translation in the top corner of the screen would be less than ideal. If there's a way of temporarily enabling subtitles via script then I guess I could put that script as a topic start fragment on the first topic in the branch and then re disable them in the end fragment of the last topic(s). I am unable to find a way of scripting this, however, despite laborious googling. Any help would be much appreciated.
