HI. Hope someone can help me. I am trying to add voiced dialog to my character's wife. I have searched every combination of key words of which I can think and nothing doing. Is it possible to add sounds to dialog? Can someone post a link to a guide or give the steps. Thanks very much.
Edit: I have studied the dog dialogs as that is probably the way to go but can't figure out: $player_dog_agent_no
i.e.
[anyone|plyr, "dog_talk_2",[],"Go, {s1}, go!", "close_window",[(assign, "$dog_order", 0),(agent_play_sound, "$player_dog_agent_no", "snd_dog_bark"),]],
a search of the source files listed "player_dog_agent_no" only occurs in variables.txt
knowing that. I:
1. placed my wifehello.wav file in VC modded Sounds folder
2. placed wife_hello in variables.txt
3. added ("wife_hello", sf_vol_12|sf_priority_5|sf_stream_from_hd,["wife_hello.wav"]), after the last line but above the final ] of module_sounds.py
4. Changed this line in the spouse_talk section of module_dialogs.py:
],
"Yes, my husband?", "spouse_talk",[
]],
to
],
"Hello, {playername}?", "spouse_talk",[ (agent_play_sound, "$wife_hello", "wife_hello"),
]],
got two errors in module.dialog.py
unrecognized tag in object: wife_hello
illegal identifier wife_hello
any suggestions?
thanks a million.
EDIT 2:
Thanks Motomataru!! that did the trick. Voiced dialog really adds to immersion. Now to give some other npc companions some things to speak by adding sounds,

Conversations take place in scenes. Instances of troops in scenes are given an agent ID. In the case of the dog, that was set somewhere. More generally, it's "$g_talk_agent" -- set in what is now the fourth (initialization) dialog.
All sounds are prefixed by "snd_" when referenced, just as all items are prefixed by "itm_"
Finally, the compiler generates variables.txt, which one must copy back from the execution folder to preserve save game compatibility.
So, undo your change there and:
"Hello, {playername}?", "spouse_talk",[ (agent_play_sound, "$g_talk_agent", "snd_wife_hello"),

Uh I could be wrong Kraggim as I am far from being well versed in modding but I believe I've been told that everything in VC isn't at the same scale as it is in native and that we just don't realize it the because they look the same to our perception? Like everything could be half the size of what they normally would be and we wouldn't notice because they still look proportional when compared to everything that surrounds it?

I don't think it's that as the amount they've been moved sideways is correct. I found 2 towns in Native have this problem, they both seem to be classified as outdoors scenes rather than indoors. But all the VC castle interiors are indoors...
Edit: Tried commenting out everything else in the mission template, no change so thats not it.
Interestingly if I place the rack half way into the wall the weapons don't drop, they seem to be held up by the wall mesh:
Maybe I could spawn some kind og invisible mesh prop in the rack to stop things dropping.

for newbies like me--
1- who want to have an old good "jousting lance" in VC-reforged without adding too much item{no mod for it out there}
---
2-Let hero-companions form own warbands, name the party "Heroname's Party", and be able to give them orders (which they will always obey).
Ex.- They will also join your battles if they are nearby;patrol around your village,can rejoin you and so on.

Hello again,
I could really use some help inserting a music track. I would like to play a piece of medieval feast music I found. When I select the option on the town/castle menu of throwing a symbel for my men, I want the music to play.
Here's what I've done but it has not worked.
1. I added the .wav audio clip titled feast.wav to the module's music folder.
2. Inserted the following line in the module_game_menus.py file:
3. Inserted this line in the module_music.py file:
The build_module.bat completely ran with no errors.
I verified that the music.txt file contains this line:
So please help because I am stumped. Thanks very much.
I could really use some help inserting a music track. I would like to play a piece of medieval feast music I found. When I select the option on the town/castle menu of throwing a symbel for my men, I want the music to play.
Here's what I've done but it has not worked.
1. I added the .wav audio clip titled feast.wav to the module's music folder.
2. Inserted the following line in the module_game_menus.py file:
####banquete moral mead chief
(
"banquete_moral",0,
"Order your men to leave their weapons outside and invite them to your Great Hall, to sit at your table by rank. The nearest and dearest sit close to you.^" +
"Some girls serve meat and mead in large quantities. You've spent a lot of money on this feast because your men deserve it.^" +
"They are the ones who bleed with you, who have helped you conquer your domains. They are your faithful followers.^" +
"The evening progresses. Many men, drunk as vats, shout and sing. Some run off to vomit and others are fighting like gamecocks for the attention of a girl.^" +
"Behind you, a bard sings of your power and deeds. You act like a lord. You are a lord, a 'shepherd of men.'",
"none",
[
(set_background_mesh, "mesh_festin"),
(play_track, "track_new_symbel", 1),
],
[
("banquete_ok",[],"You drink, laugh and shout as they come.",
(
"banquete_moral",0,

"none",
[
(set_background_mesh, "mesh_festin"),
(play_track, "track_new_symbel", 1),
],
[
("banquete_ok",[],"You drink, laugh and shout as they come.",
3. Inserted this line in the module_music.py file:
("morrigan_song", "ballad_of_a_hero.wav", mtf_module_track|mtf_persist_until_finished, 0),
#Bud's lively music
("new_symbel", "feast.wav", mtf_module_track, 0),
#Bud's lively music
("new_symbel", "feast.wav", mtf_module_track, 0),
The build_module.bat completely ran with no errors.
I verified that the music.txt file contains this line:

@Kaladin, I know there are mods/tweaks out there that can set the player to always be marshal with friendly troops, you could look for those and try to adapt them for this.
@kwbudirt, there's a tutorial here to do with adding music to VC, maybe have a look there and see if there's anything useful: https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,336984.0.html .

Modding is done by following examples (like the code you find on modules from Native and VC) and try and error. Isolate your variables when things don't work
1) Start with the most basic thingy. Use your menu to play a music already used in the game. Make sure that works, so you know there is no issues with what you are trying to do
2) Insert your new music and try playing it. If it fails you know your problem is most likely on: missing flags (module_music) or invalid file (your .wave). Figure out the first by using the same ones from (1) above and see if that fixes it
Remember to visit the Forge if you need help with generic issues like music, as you will find more modders to help there.
Looks good to me! In addition to the bug tracking methods kalarhan suggested, I would check the recording levels of your track. Play both it and a VC piece through your media player with the same settings. They should sound about as loud.kwbudirt said:
