Unofficial LGNPC Seyda Neen for Morroblivion alpha 2
2020-June-16

Description:
This is an alpha version of LGNPC Seyda Neen, that has been ported to Morroblivion using Modexporter.

Requirements:
- AddActorValues OBSE plugin

 

Known Issues:
Some dialog choices are very long and will be clipped by the vanilla Oblivion dialog UI.  You may be able to see all dialog if you use a smaller font than vanilla Oblivion.  I have custom XML which allows for multiple lines per topic choice, but it is hardcoded to replace vanilla Oblivion dialog UI.  I'm experiementing with MenuQue command to insert the proper XML code into the dialog UI dynamically -- but I can't seem to get the Oblivion engine to use the modified XML template (modifying the XML UI components directly works fine).  If anyone knows how to edit XML template via MenuQue please let me know.

Change Log:

• alpha 2: Manually fixed bugs from modexporter output related to rental house quest. Cleaned up ESP structure and dialog topics.
• alpha 1: Initial release.

    1. DESCRIPTION

     **********************************************************************

     Less Generic NPC mods introduce unique dialog filtered for individual 
     NPCs that replaces the generic responses usually encountered and 
     create individual personalities and back-stories.

     LGNPC Seyda Neen adds new dialog and develops the personality of 
     every NPC in Seyda Neen.

     **********************************************************************

    2. INSTALLATION

     **********************************************************************

     This mod consists of a plug-in module (.esp). and a readme (.txt).

     Unzip the mod into your Morrowind/Data Files directory, or manually
     copy LGNPC_SeydaNeen.esp into your Morrowind\Data Files folder.
     If asks to overwrite, choose [Yes].

     
     **********************************************************************

    3. USING THE PLUG-IN

     **********************************************************************

     From the Morrowind Launcher, open Data Files and check the box next 
     to LGNPC_SeydaNeen.esp

     This plug-in depends on Morrowind only.

     It can be used with a new game or an existing saved game.

     Significant changes have been made in version 2.00. If you are 
     running a version of LGNPC Seyda Neen earlier than 2.00, you will 
     need to clean your existing saved game using a utility such as Wrye 
     Mash.

     Do not use with an earlier version of LGNPC Seyda Neen. This plugin 
     is a replacement, not a patch.

     It is recommended that you make a backup of your current game before
     using this plug-in. It may spare you much grief should you encounter
     problems or conflicts that result in your un-installing the mod.

     **********************************************************************

    4. FEATURES

     **********************************************************************

     LGNPC Seyda Neen creates unique dialog for 24 existing NPCs. There 
     are over 800 new dialog entries covering 100 new and existing topics.

     introduced by Children of Morrowind.

       Arrille.

       completes Vodunius Nuccius' official quest. The containers are safe 
       to use (no ownership and do not respawn).

       Addamasartus

     **********************************************************************

    6. COMPATIBILITY

     **********************************************************************

     This plug-in depends on Morrowind only.

     Do not use merged dialogues.esp (from TESTool) with this plug-in (or 
     any other LGNPC installment)!

     LGNPC Seyda Neen has been cleaned with Enchanted Editor, date-stamped 
     and local reference indexes re-numbered with Wrye Mash. If you open 
     this mod in the game editor, use Wyre Mash to preserve the date stamp 
     and local object reference index:

          Date stamp: 6/19/2008/11:00:00 PM
          Starting local reference index: 52759

     Changing these values could alter load order and generate errors when 
     loading saved games.

     The global variable em_toddteen is shared with Children Of Morrowind. 
     This is not a point of conflict between the two mods. Rather it 
     assures compatibility with that fine mod.

     CONFLICTS:
 
     - "Vampire Embrace" by Cortex shares a dialog filter with many LGNPC 
       mods that could result in unexpected problems in both mods.

    7. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

     **********************************************************************

     All work was done by (in alphabetic order): Cyrano, Gax, Joe Stevens, 
     Ostar and Wrye.

     Seyda Neen represents the proof of concept by Joe Stevens to show 
     how Morrowind could be enlivened through detailed dialogue for its 
     inhabitants. His vision was the inspiration for the entire LGNPC 
     (Less Generic NPC) Project. From its humble beginnings in Seyda 
     Neen the project has grown to currently affect several hundred NPCs.

     Thanks to the Morrowind modding community for advice and shared
     wisdom, and Bethesda Softworks for providing the game editor that
     makes this plug-in possible.
