I've banging my head on this all night, and can't figure it out. I had someone graciously create some voices for one of my mods. First let me say I know how to add them to the NPCs in the quest, and they are all working.



My problem is with the general dialogue for them. Like when you approach someone and they say "hello" or "can I help you", OR " I used to be an adventurer like you, til ..." I'm not talking about Forcegreets, but just general greetings. They have been recorded and in my data folder in the correct locations, but I can't seem to get them to work. I have tried creating a dialogue quest for the greetings and they will not fire unless I have the player question them first.



I have read and watched several tutorials on voices, but none touch on this in particular. One of them tells me to add them to the quest dialogue itself, which is fine, but when the quest ends, won't the quest dialogue also end?



I've looked at the Generic Dialogue quests in the CK, none have stages, most do not have alias's but in the Misc. tab there are a lot of lines of dialogue, but I cannot add to it in a new quest. Am I missing something stupid. I've done several quests for myself and others, but this has me stumped.



Any ideas?



I should add that this is in the old CK, not SSECK


EDIT: Walked away and had my 5th cup of coffee, and it all clicked. I don't know why it would not work the first time but I must have been getting frustrated. They need to be put in a Dialogue quest in the MISC tab and set with the right conditions. I put them there several times and it would not take. CK . Now I hope when I port this over the SSE it still works. Need to finish up a few voice lines first and test.

Thats right, the MISC tab is where generic greetings are added. Obviously the quests containing them needs to be running too.
