hurtifrej Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 Heya! I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with the .seq file format? I'm trying to touch up on SexLab Relationship Dialogue System, fixing some misspellings and grammatical errors, but I cannot find all the dialogue text. The mod has an .seq file and I am suspecting the missing strings are there. But I don't know how to open and edit it. Does anyone know how I'd go about doing that? Friendly regards Hurti

MadMansGun Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 save game, quit and then reload the save. that should get your dialogue to show up (assuming it was setup correctly that is)

You are sure of this? If so, thank you for the information. I'll have to look through the esp file again. I thought I had been quite thorough.

Rather, the mod has dialogue options and NPC replies in-game that I want to change. I've managed to change the majority but there are still some dialogues that come up that I cannot find anywhere in the esp.

I thought I had been quite thorough. He's right. If you don't have the seq file and the quest is not set 'Start Game Enabled' then the dialogue wont show because the dialogue is associated with the quest. People do the seq files because dialogue doesn't show, but they are not directly linked.
spoonsinger Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 Also if you do feel your .SEQ is wrong/buggered/out of sync, you can get xEdit to create a new one.
DocClox Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 ... and if you still want to know the exact format used, the xedit code is open source and you see how it constructs the files here.
Heroine HoneyCrotch Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 I know what OP is asking, I just dont know the answer. In game OP is seeing dialogue, OP goes into ck to edit dialogue and cant find specific topic/response in ck/quest to edit.Shitz there in game, just cant find it in quest/ck/xedit.
ghastley Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 IIRC the SEQ (start enabled quest) is just an indicator to the engine that the mod contains such, and so there is the possibility that the esp needs to be checked for dialogue even before any “quest start” event occurs. In effect, finding the .seq file generates that event, and makes the dialogue in the quests available. It prevents the Catch-22 situation of not advancing the quest because that dialogue doesn’t show, but advancing the quest is what lets it show. I’m not even sure the file needs content. There may be a simple header to verify that it is not a regular file that was incorrectly renamed, but its existence is the thing that gets checked.
Heroine HoneyCrotch Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 Just solved same problem on my end with another mod, mod author tipped me off, but on my end reason I wasnt find the dialogue topic is because of the way mod author used 'Prompt" feature, this creates a scenario where OP would have to get direct info from mod author where particular dialogue is tied in or you need open every response in ck. Decent chance this is why your not seeing anything in dialogue topic. Spoiler
