Different TTS voices say things differently. What you have to do is pre recorded dialogue only none of that on the fly stuff where it works in game live. This means creating new voices for npcs to use. Trying to add to existing voices will never sound right at all so new voices is the way to go. Make the dialogue and then make the pre recorded lines for it with typing tricks in the TTS voices programs then cut and splice their words here and there until it is just right which takes forever. This is the only way around voice actors right now until TTS programs are significantly improved although we may see that happen in the next ten years since AI is really coming up these days.

[zaira]

The TTS engine must support SAPI5 - then you can use a software like PapyrusVoiceRecorder. ME contains several thousands of voice prompts - you need a kind of automation.

 

The quality of TTS engines varies very much. I spent a lot of time in this and there is only one TTS voice that reaches a reality level near human speech - Ivona voices. This one is far better then anything else.

 

At least for German - the English quality is not as high but still 1000x better then the default windows voice

 

[Zor2k13]

The neospeech voices sound good too but they have problems with some text and some of them actually have audio files packed in to simulate emotion for some common words instead of altering inflection like they should.

[MetaKnight145]

 

So I got a problem. I have an npc as a whore and they have sex when I ask someone if they want her and everything works fine until she gets paid. In the message I get a % instead of the amount of cash she actually earned and when I ask her to give me my money she doesn't give me anything despite it being treated as if she did earn something.

are you using any follower mods? 

 

I know that with EFF some times the money is in their inventory rather then their equipment area 

 

None that effect all followers. Only individual follower mods.

[galgat]

Yes I used a combination of Ivona, and Neospeach for mine, but the Ivona although not to me as realistic a voice, is the better of the two, it is a slower speech, and seems to allow for a more natural sound in the voice. ( Though quite monotone in nature, it gives a better, and more human sound )

  When you get your update done, and I have a full English version, which I will need to retouch some to my taste, and for a better voice conversion.  I will if I have time, attempt to redo the voices.

   But the problem I have is how big it gets, even filtering only the Maria voices from zaira Mod,  still its size gets rather large.

  I don't know much that can be done about that.  I would like to allow the voices to play for every race type, and emotional voice type [ this would make the voices begin at the beginning of the prostitution sale's talk, rather than waiting till the NPC actually takes on the Alias of Maria Quest ] but the size just gets overwhelming.

 

   It will not bother me a bit if some of the people that know so much about the TTS do it, I will be very happy to use there work..

[olonolo]

I finally got up the nerve to install this great mod, stripped my mods down to bare minimum, took out arousal, DDI etc. Just testing the waters for now, playing the slavery part. I'm not really into the whoring, prostitution, sex for money, but I'll probably try it anyway once I feel more comfortable with the game. I have a few issues and questions on things I'm not quite clear on. The first thing I noticed is that I have no ctd's at all so far, so that's really great.

 

Furniture: as I understand it if you place a piece of furniture in your house (Lakeview in this case) and you start a new game that furniture will be there in the new game. Will it appear automatically as I build the home or do you have the option to import it? If it spawns automatically what happens if I go back to an older game and there is something already in that spot?

 

Clothing: what's the difference between creating a clothing set (say for a slave), saving it in MCM and importing it, or just creating a set and equipping it right away? Does the imported set have any effect on the npc's or the game. If so, can the imported set be upgraded and enchanted? I noticed when I created a set for whoring and imported it, the description for the clothe said "you are recognized as a whore" No description similar showed when I made a set for a slave.

 

NPC: how do you make an NPC a slave or a whore? I see no option for it in the Build spell.

 

Followers: When a follower is asked to be a dom their standard follower dialogue changes to the Maria version. When I cancel the relationship the Maria dialogue is still there and I can't recruit that NPC as a follower. Going back to an older save, the Maria dialogue still shows on the same NPC. Something is saved in the game that affects all saves.

 

Dom follower: morning, noon and night the dom just wants to go to a tavern. Leave the house say 10:00 am, the dom is hungry or tired. Tavern of course means whoring and there seems to be no end to the scenes. If I leave the tavern, a few minutes later she again wants to go to a tavern. If I don't comply I get hooked into a forced follow. Same problem in the house but with the sleep scene. Any time of the day the dom will go to sleep and ties up the player, sometimes five minutes or 2 hours later she'll be up. An hour later it's back to bed.

 

Anyway, still a lot to discover but the most important problem of all is that the flycam doesn't work. Tried tfc, animcam, number pad 3, toggle Sexlab option on off. No go. Flycam works fine in a Sexlab animation but in a Maria scene it doesn't work. Frustrating to see the top of your players head in a punishment scene.

 

Still. it's a lot of fun, I can't imagine the number of hours that went into this. Thanks Zaira for a great mod. 

[zaira]

The follower has a "hungry" counter that gets increased once per game hour.  After 12 hours the follower notifies you the first time about his hunger, after 15 hours you get hooked.

Once you entered a tavern or your home the  "hungry" counter is reset to 0.

 

Imported whore outfits gets a whoring enchantment.

Pony and fetish outfits could be locked at your body.

 

Builder objects are generated when you enter the modified cell for the first time. The list of cell ids are only loaded during first start of ME. So you cant jump back to an earlier game where ME is already active.

1.   I have personally not encountered this often. The select toggle has worked mostly very well for me.

 

2. However I have placed Device's ( as in X cross, pillory, or some other device ) in places that do not seem to allow the Free look to work right.

 

   I have sense discovering that some area's don't work so well with Camera view, started to test the devices, and make sure the ones I have placed work well.  Jaxon Position-er  if you are not using it is really a wonderful tool, I was very hesitant to use it at first, but have sense discovered its wonderful usage's, and keep it running in most every profile I have.

 

 3. I do always try to be in third person before entering any device.

     You will pretty much lose control of scroll in, and out once you are placed in the device. ( Not always, but quite often for me anyway ) So I find it best to try, and be in third person mode, and at a distance with the camera mode that i feel will work well for me.

 

 4. I just have never had any real problems with the camera mode, except as I said, some times when I forget to be in third person before entering a device.

 

 

[GeorgiaCav]

Does ME use particular factions to identify the PC as whore, slave, etc? Is there a way to check which factions the PC belongs to?

Thanks for you response. I've placed a couple of devices at Lakeview in the bedroom, and one at the Bannered Mare for now. Flycam never kicked in. I'm always in 3rd person view and yes I use Jaxon's all the time. Great tool to have. The thing is, even in a scene like being tied up for the night the flycam never works so it's not just furniture related. Is there perhaps a console command that I can try to give it a kick start?

[olonolo]

Thanks for this Zaira. I did think that there would be some sort of time schedule to trigger the event but I can leave a tavern and 5 minutes later she'll want to go to a tavern again. Same for the sleep event, it triggers at random during the day, she'll go to sleep, 5 minutes later she's up and then back to sleep again in a short time. And it can repeat several times.

1. yes, and I don't think it will help, the console command is the same as tapping Ashals Hot key from sexlab.  it is tfc, Toggle freefly camera, but it will be no different than tapping the Hot key from Sexlab.

 

2. another thing I may do differently is I do not have the camera set to auto in Sexlab. I have found that by controlling it my self that I tend to have way less problems, infact the auto was causing a CTD with one mod, but I can not remember which one ( actually I refuse to tell, because some groupie from that mod will Blast Me   Then the thread gets high jacked with let me see a log file, it never happened to me, you must have something messed up ). 

 

    If you happen to have it set to Auto you might try UN-Ticking that box in Ashals Sexlab, and make it manual.  By having control of it the sex scene can sort of get all its bouncing around out of the way, and then you can tap the Free camera with less possible problems.

 

   Or at least that has been the best way for me.

 

 

  EDIT>>>  I am Only guessing ( please don't Bash me for a Guess ), but I think it is the Zaz Animation to insert the player into the device that is causing the problem, but That is just a Guess.  anyway, by taking control of the Camera away from auto, and waiting until the player is secured in the device, and then tapping the key to go free camera I think you will have less problems.

Thanks! I was able to resolve my issue with running ME and SD+ for the moment. Apparently, SD was not removing my PC from either the zbfFactionSlave or zbfFactionSlaveState when releasing her from slavery. Manually removing her from those factions using addfac-1 has restored the "May I ask you something?" dialogue option.

And i have no clue about translating files ingame, but if you or whoever does the translation needs help... pm me.

I do not mind to share them, but I am running mod's maybe that you may not have, this will not cause a problem, as Maria will just ignore the places that you do not have. but they may not do you much good.  I have mainly used or added to these add on mods, as in

   Also I have set scale on them differently than is the standard to fit my character, as she is very petite, and I had to re-Size many Devices so they would fit her well, as in X-cross, pillory, spit roast, exc, exc.   "Jaxon will do this, but I find it is better to use setscale .97 or whatever, and also to use getscale to see if change is needed in console "

 

  The other problem would be that although zaira builder spells make a very nice json, I think that Jaxon position-er saves its devices, and changes to the actual save, and ,may not be using a json file. 

 

   So many of the cages, and things that I have set up would probably not be there, with out my save game.

 

  If you know where Jaxon saves its changes I will try to zip it all up for you then, but I think you would be disappointed with my files right now without my save.

 

  It is just that i am thinking you won't get much with just the zaira json. Because many of my changes were done with Jaxon, which I have not figured out if it has any information other than the Save game, saved on any of its changes.

 

   I think I have also seen Jaxon to drop some items from time to time NOTE:: I think I have returned to places, and found Items I was sure I had placed >> Gone.  But It could be I had forgotten that I had backed up to and earlier save. Not sure on that.

 

   But the zaira json have been very dependable, and once I save they have pretty much always been there.

@galgat:  I tried your suggestion and turned off auto flycam in Sexlab and by the gods it worked.  I now have full control of the camera through Maria. I tried this before but for some reason it didn't kick in. One of the things I'm learning about this mod is to give things time to trigger, the sheer size of the mod plus perhaps my system I think needs a little more patience.

 

Anyway galgat, you did it. Thank you very much for your input.

@Zaira: I never expected to be able to play much of the regular Skyrim with this mod installed, but I can't even get near a dungeon or a bandit camp with my dom without the tavern event triggering. And I know she likes to loot and fight bandits. Is there a setting or an .ini file that could be altered to reduce the frequency of the tavern event triggering?

 

Thanks for your patience.

Since i'll probably start a new game for ME (my current game is already at it's limits in script stuff) i wouldn't mind to install some of your places, and afaik it wouldn't be too bad if those are missing (or i just delete them from the file). To make a small(er) character wouldn't be a problem either, not sure about the other stuff... but i'm willing to try. If it doesn't work, well, at least i know then that it doesn't.

I have no clue about Jaxon or where it stores it's stuff, though... maybe zaira does?

I second this. The automatic transport to a tavern is the only aspect of slavery in this mod that I don't like. I don't mind the dom getting upset and punishing the sub if they don't go to an inn, but i wish it were possible to set up in a cleared dungeon or an NPC home without being forced to go to an inn somewhere each night. I understand the rationale and why some would find it more immersive (a real master of mistress wouldn't care about the sub's wishes and would drag her along) but perhaps it could be a choice in MCM: forced inns or not.

 

As always I truly appreciate all the hard work that goes into making and improving this mod and I can't wait for future updates.

I found a bug related to cell change. You can reset the hungry counter if you manage to let you dom stay in the tavern (please wait for me...) then leave the tavern and re-enter it.

 

However: she must be in the tavern when you enter it.

 

Other solution: stop the follower quest (cheat menu) and re-start it.

No. No MCM : ll make some other changes here: she will only force to follow her when the relationship between you and her is poor. So be a obedient slave and after a while the she will leave you alone for some hours...

 

For married slaves I'll remove the forced tavern completely - it is enough punishment that you cant unequip the collar and everybody might rape you. You can follow her if you want and this will still trigger the tavern quest.

 

[galgat]

I saw the Jaxon folder in the Mod Organizer\overwrite\SKSE\Plugins\StorageUtilData but all that is in the json I have there is the hot keys or how i have them set.  No position's or locations data.

 

anyway i have attempted to package up the Maria stuff I have in the Mod Organizer\overwrite\SKSE\Plugins\StorageUtilData I am unsure if it will be of any use.

 

   I think I got everything that had to do with Maria in there, but I just have a feeling the Jaxon will be missing, and little of it will be of use.

 

   I do not know if zaira .json will take into account the movement, and positioning that I did with Jaxon, so things may be in bad locations, as the zaira json may not show the updated locations from where I moved stuff into place with Jaxon.

 

   I also included my racemenuPesets I have made, I was using I think GG_Kim03 last, but you may not have all the things needed for her, or any of them to look right. I am using UUNP set to UNPB body style

 

   I have never packages any of my Presets before, so these may be packaged wrong.. also they are all from My overwrite folder in Mod Organizer, so if try use them in main folder they might need to be redone.

 

   I normally design character with smaller top, and some What enlarged bottom ( Not Obese, just a bit bigger ), and thighs.

 

I am using Fair Skin Complexion for UNP v8.0.1 Optimized-51602-8-0_SWEATY, and Nordic Warmaiden Body Hair v1.1.0, I forget what else I may have installed as far as makeup, and Body stuff.

 

   I have no Idea if any of it will work right for you..

 

EDIT..also I have and Un-Godly amount of hair styles, I would be surprized if you happen to have one of the styles I have.. A friend gave me a special set, and i have I think all the other big ones from nexus

   I would have to agree that Your owner does get a little over board on the Go to a tavern, I Tend to constantly spin the clock back to (wait time) 8:00 AM when I think he or she might be close to taking me to a Tavern, it can sort of ruin some things you have going.
