Dro'Sakhar Topic doesn't show up.

Submitted by illspecko on

In the third Vivec Fighter's guild questline, I'm supposed to hunt down and kill Dro'sakhar, who lives "somewhere" in the st Olms canton. Your'e supposed to ask around, and according to the UESPwiki when you ask an ordinator, they should point you to the right apartment. This doesn't show up right now.

The problem is caused by something very silly. Almost every Morrowind topic have a factioncheck for something called 0noLore. Unfortunetly, almost no npc is a member of this faction. If you delete this condition, it works like a charm. Actually, this is actually the reason why almost no topic show up for most npcs. This should probably be deleted from all topics that exists, or make all npcs part of this faction.

Easier said than done. However, if somebody wants to go through and actually do this, line by line, that would be great.

Turns out adding noLore to every NPC is pretty easy to do with Wrye Bash's export factions. Right now I've added it to every NPC_ in the Morrowind master, with the exception of the player since that didn't seem to make much sense. Not sure if there's anyone else that shouldn't have the faction.

I've attached the cvs file I used. You can just right click on Morrowind_ob.esm, select Import --> Factions and select this cvs file and then all should be well. Theoretically you can put this in your bashed patch too but for some reason Wrye says my esm has an error when I do that. Not 100% sure how I'd get this into an esp on account of that.

This seems to work well, but I haven't tested it extensively yet. I don't know if there are any cases where it checks if an npc DOESN'T belong to noLore, that could be an issue. Where did the noLore faction come from anyway?

(BTW, I was trying to find info on TES4Edit's script function to write a script to fix this issue but there's literally next to no docs on this out there. all I could find was a single script that only replaces some formids with other formids, but if anyone's doing similar work and wants to take a look you can find it here, download V5.3, not the combined plugin one)

Weird, has some issues with links/uploads.

If I add the link to the mod which has a TES4EditScript the site thinks my message is spam. So I'll just say that the name of the mod is Destruction by SP.

You did that backwards. Illspecko was intending to Remove the NoLore faction, not add everybody to it. He actually started doing so, but I got cold feet. Without THOROUGHLY researching the possible effects and ramifications this change might have, I was not about to do something like this blindly. If I remember correctly, there are 428 NPCs in this faction. It was intended for NPC's that were not "locals," that were not from the area and consequently would not be intimately familiar with every detail.
