I've got Karls mods partially working now. He shows up and talks like Karl in the introduction play in the character creator, but once I start the game with him he's mute instead of talking to himself. And when I click something he gives me click-quipps with Karlah's voice instead of Karl's.

I have similar problems with Gaile and Li'zel. Added them to the bug-report.

I don't know if this is a patch8-bug for now, or if I just haven't got my mods working properly yet.

Edit: Other's report the same, so I'll post it in the bug-report section.

Sorry for any confusion. It was mainly a project update, not mod update. I am in the process of updating the files which will take time into next week.
The Point & Click sounds are not included in the Voice Conversions as they weren't categorized in data sets at that time. Expect them with the next update.

@Kowe Both of Karl's voice mods (and I believe files for the other character's too) are just .pak files, not zipped. They are not recognized by MO2. Am I supposed to do something particular with these, or is it simply an oversight?

@Kowe, considering Astalia is mute if you use her as the player character, does that mean she will be mute when participating in banter as a companion? Or does that use different sound-files? (trying to decide whether to use her as a companion or just keep Astarion)

Actually nvm. I did a mistake somewhere and that's where her muteness stemmed from. I'm still getting her mute when clicking on random objects, but I personally don't care about that. I don't plan to play her anytime soon, and if I do I perfer the click-on-object quacking to be mute anyway

is there any order requirement with no alphabets or other recommended mods?

Seems all the chars are retaining their OG voices. I seem to have all the other mods working ok, but it could be a me issue. I am installing w/o a mod manager on linux. i just dropped paks into the mod dir, and modified the modsettings.lsx file. I can see the mods in the mod menu in game. Unsure if its normal for the chars to have their OG voices when talking to them, or playing their prologue on char creation screen as a test.

edit: point and click voices are working it seems. at least in so far as I have gotten lol. first time playing and I rerolled like 5x, haven't made it past the druid circle yet.

I believe they are quite sensitive to load order. Internal load order is cited in the first post of both No Alphabet and Realms Restored. From what I've experienced with them so far this group of mods should go towards the end of your load-order as a whole.

ok I'm not as bad as I thought. The VC<char>.pak files were in fact in my mod dir. But they don't auto populate into the modsettings.lsx file.

would anyone mind sharing their modsettings.lsx file? I cant seem to get a mod manager to work, or at least I can but with immense effort. easier to just place the files manually. So if I can just copy your node block, I should be able to add it to my game.

- Astarion's animations have been modified to work with Astaria's BT1 although I'm sure I missed some. There are A LOT.
- Body Type is locked in. It is not possible to change it anyway.
- Head is locked in. Changing the head may cause very unpleasant issues with Astaria's fangs as they are designed specifically for this head. You'd also lose her bite marks. I used Elf Head 3 and customized the textures to add her bite marks.

@Kowe

I've been playing around a bit with your Astaria conversion vs. others that are on the Nexus. I've found something I couldn't understand when trying your model versus this one.

Your Astaria is missing the vampire fangs, while the Nexus version has them. The Nexus mod mentions the issues with fangs:

- Astarion's animations have been modified to work with Astaria's BT1 although I'm sure I missed some. There are A LOT.
- Body Type is locked in. It is not possible to change it anyway.
- Head is locked in. Changing the head may cause very unpleasant issues with Astaria's fangs as they are designed specifically for this head. You'd also lose her bite marks. I used Elf Head 3 and customized the textures to add her bite marks.

However, during Astarion's introduction, when the MC gets grabbed and rolled to the ground, something weird happened. With your mod, the animation looks totally fine. Instead, with the Nexus mod, the animation gets screwed up and "Astaria" get slenderwoman'd with her neck and limbs stretching out. Since your mod also uses the standard female body, but you don't mention doing any animation work, I would have expected the opposite.

Anyway, in light of all that: do you think you would be able to give Astaria a proper pair of vampire fangs, without screwing up the animations? (Stealing the Nexus mod's work if useful)

Separate, minor question: does your voice replacer .pak have any specific dependency with the other mods or with No Alphabets? In other words, I have found a different female Astarion voice pack that I like better (it gives here a ridiculous rolling R), I guess I can safely use that one alongside your dialogue and visual changes?

Thanks. It may include some Soundbank or Sound files which were missing in the data-set used for this project. Can't hurt to compare.

Can't promise when as I am not experienced with Blender and thus dependant on available heads from elsewhere. As the fangs have to be integrated into the head armature.
There is an interesting head for Elves from Maki's collection but I have to check if it includes fangs or not. Alternatively, there is a version of Vemperen's Heads with them.

As for Voice Conversions, there is no dependency. They are stand-alone.
Localization and Visual Changes can safely be used with other VCs.

This one? So in principle, could I use your mod as a base (to provide the ritual tattoos, mainly), then use Appearance Edit Enhanced to give Astaria one of the fanged heads?

cool. i'll use mod to mute narrator voice then.
what about lines where npc call each other name? i assume they still call their canon names and gender?

As far as I've observed the only things that have been changed are written lines, so using subtitles for both cutscenes and banter helps a lot. I read somewhere something about the removal of some lines, but I think that was one of the romance mods or Really Shadowheart, not this one. But I may be mistaken.
