Hi,

I just installed Morroblivion and I must say I am impressed! Great work all of you, which made this possible Smile

However, I am encountering a problem: The Greeting-Voices won't work. I installed and selected Morroblivion_Conversation.esp (last in load order)

It shows the text, but I can't hear anything. Some "say" things like "Greetings outlander" without sound (which would be a MW greeting, I guess),  some greet me in German with sound!

The latter might be the problem. I own the German Version of Oblivion (I still hate myself not buying the original version, but well..). Could it be, that Oblivion wants to play an German Version of the MW greetings or the Morroblivion_Conversation does have no effect at all in the German-Version?

Thanks for any hints, as I am not a modder Smile

That is very, very

That is very, very weird.

The esp seems to be working since you can read the dialogue.

What's weird is that it works for me and everyone else.

Are the sound files in the right place? Because it sounds like the esp is trying to find the sound files and can't find them.

Do you have the german

Do you have the german version as well? I think, that this might be a problem.

I found the Voice files in: Oblivion\Data\Sound\Voice\Morroblivion Conversation.esp - That is where they should be, I suppose?

Yeah, that's where it should

Yeah, that's where it should be.

I don't have the German version. You could be right, that could be the problem, but I still don't understand how that would affect things?

My fault?

This may be my fault.  If you downloaded my complete installation v048 or v049, you need to change the name of the folder

from

"\Data\Sounds\Voice\Morrowind Conversation.esp\"

to

"\Data\Sounds\Voice\Morrowind_ob - Conversation.esp\"

so that the name of the folder matches the name of the .esp file


--

In any case, these two names have to match exactly.  So if you have the file:

"\Data\Morroblivion_Conversation.esp"

then the folder should be:

"\Data\Sounds\Voice\Morroblivion_Conversation.esp\"

No, it's not your fault, at

No, it's not your fault, at least I don't think so Smile

I first installed the complete installation, as of this sound issue, I tried it according to the Installation Guide, therefore the esp is called "Morroblivion_Conversation.esp"

It surly is strange, especially that some chars are actually talking silently.

What does the "Morroblivion_Conversation.esp" do? Would the greetings without it be the Oblivion ones or would they be the Morrowind ones, but without sound?

The

The "Morroblivion_Conversation.esp" adds the Morrowind greetings and combat taunts. So that .esp adds in the dialogue lines which will "call" for the corresponding audio file that matches that dialogue line. It looks like it can't find and call the audio files.

Again, Thermador sounds right on this. Whatever your .esp file is named (if it's named Morroblivion_Conversation.esp) make sure the corresponding folder is named the exact same way (in this case, the folder should be named "Morroblivion_Conversation.esp" not "Morroblivion Conversation.esp").

I did some research and found

I did some research and found out the following:

You have to rename the folders inside the Morroblivion Conversation_DV.esp directory to the corresponding German Name.

If anyone wants to reproduce this:

Argonian => Argonier
Breton => Bretone
Dark Elf => Dunkelelf
Dremora stays
High Elf => Hochelf
Imperial => Kaiserlicher
Kahjiit stays
Nord stays
Orc => Ork
Redguard => Rothwardone
Wood Elf => Waldelf

However, in some cases it does not seem to work:

- The guards and several other people in Seyda Neen do not want to talk to me (not even with text)

- The conversation between the NPCs is still in German (therefore the default Oblivion)

- Some NPCs (for example the Nords in Arielles) still talk german (text and voice). So it somehow does not get overwritten.

Thanks for your help until now, do you have any suggestions for those new problems? Smile

Nice find! That definitely

Nice find! That definitely would change the file path, so the esp wouldn't be able to find the audio files.

If you can, get the Construction Set and check something out for me, since I don't have the German version:

So when you open the Construction Set up, go to "File" --> "Data..."

In the pop-up, tick "Morrowind_ob.esm" and "Morroblivion Conversation.esp" and then click the "OK" button.

Another small window will pop up. Just click "Ok" or "Yes".

Then click:

So when you see the file path and file name, go in your Oblivion Data folder and see if you can actually find that file.
