falafel Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Howdy. I'm working on a companion mod for Sexout, and I'm running into some issues with getting Cass's dialogue to display properly.Some other mods, namely the Innuendo mod, seem to be able to incorporate new lines of dialogue without any issues, but I'm having a hell of a time getting new lines to display without doing the dismiss -> backtrack option.Hopefully it's just some flag somewhere that needs to be ticked, but this is basically my first day at it so I don't really know what to do exactly. Would love some advice.

I'm no dialogue expert but from what I know Cass's dialogue is coded weirdly & screws up often, if you are copying anything to do your own dialogue, you are better copying from Veronica.

Cass's dialogue is linked together and rarely uses the top level dialogue structure, that most other NPCs/companions use. That's why modders have had a hard time incorporating new dialogue for her. You basically have to go to every topic and put a link to your new topic in there. Which makes her a compatibility nightmare for every mod that does this to her dialogue, is incompatible with each other. Smallertalk is one of the mod that lets you access Cass TLD without messing with her existing topics, by bypassing her greeting after the companion wheel. My advice would be to familiarize yourself with all the dialogue options by creating your own blank test character. That way you can see how dialogue works, how different responses are set up, how conditions work and most importantly where you screwed up. Editing the companions with little to no experience is not the easiest task, because even smaller errors can break them in a number of different ways, which can be hard to spot if you are new to all of this.
