Lipsync - the story continues....

[Bluegunk]

I got my voice-updated follower lipsync to work OK.

 

But the follower replacer has no lipsync!  The original - no problem. The replacer - nothing.

 

I can't spot any obvious issues in SSEEdit.  The follower replacer is an ESPFE.

 

Any ideas, please?

1. Voice files have the plugin name in their path. Replacer version might have different plugin name.
2. Voice files have the form id in their file name. ESL files have a smaller address space, so some of the topic infos may have been renumbered.

This would obviously only apply to dialogue added in the plugin, not the dialogue that's already in Skyrim.esm for instance.

Greetings again, Traison!

 

Number 1 - that's likely to be it! I'll think of a way around it.

 

Thank you!

If you want to save disk space, consider directory junctions. You can keep the audio files in one place, while they appear in 2 different locations - compatible with non-replacer and replacer at the same time, with one set of files.

 

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/junction

 

When in the directory that contains the plugin name specific folder:

junction replacer-plugin.esp regular-plugin.esp

 

This folder now has 2 folders, both pointing to the same folder.

 

Edit: Note however that if you zip this mod/patch, the compressing utility will most likely see (and thus compress) the audio files twice, as if they were in 2 different locations. I do not know if utilities like 7zip support directory junctions or other symbolic links; I sort of hope they don't as there could be a lot of room for misuse.
