Scratch all that i just spammed the kiss animations for a bit and it seems like there is only 1 animation in particular thats broken while i only had modfixer and camera tweaks mods on. Maybe its just the game and nothing to do with the mods.ANONYMOUS_FRI3ND wrote: β February 16th, 2024, 20:10It's really weird.

Larian also: We broke kissy animations to annoy modders.
I'll have a look at what's going on though. If its the Aesthetic mods, it will be due to some file format changes instead of changes to companion aesthetics... because like I said shadowheart is completely untouched by NoAlphabets.

I removed all mods from my mod manager and tried to remove the loose ones though I may be missing something. Also disabled the script extender. I can start new games no problem but my previous modded ones just crash
But if you're able to run previous games yourself then the issue must be at my end.

@orinEsque, is the way of translating a mod somehow changed, or everything as before? Same "start line" and everything else? Do i understand right that moving dialogue lines across .loca file (changing line numbers) is safe (for example dialogue line was on line number 100 and i move it in the end of a document)?
Yes you can freely move any line to the bottom of the document. You can also copy it to the bottom as well. Only the last entry with he same handle is used.Faceless_Sentinel wrote: β February 17th, 2024, 10:10@orinEsque, is the way of translating a mod somehow changed, or everything as before?

Is it possible to defeminise Astarion in the gesture? I'm a woman, and although I like him a lot, some of his gestures bother me... Thank you very much for the best mod ever. It annoys me that people feel obliged to put alphabet everywhere. Marketing?

I think they must be thinking of Black Adder
Even then, there's not really the same flamboyant gesturing there.

Larian will have added whole new lines. I suggest you not worry about that. Take ONLY the lines that you changed, and stick them at the very bottom of your file. It does not matter if duplicate handles exist above it. Only the last occurring line is used by the game.

Still, I hate having such a mess in my files, so if your offer still stand, I'd like you to extract those lines anyway. I'm not certain if there aren't any mistakes here.
