Hi folks! As you're no doubt aware, the Starfield Creation Kit is incredibly new, and it's very early days for all this stuff. If/when the information in this video becomes outdated, I'll add details in this comment here, and in the video description, so do check that if you're watching in the Future. Also, I'm certain I'll have missed some crucial stuff. If I did, or if I'm just outright wrong, please do let me know in the comments so I can add to the information!

Saw you're a verified creatorr now. Congrats!

Thanks so much!

So in short, until lip sync is implemented, we should make use of the Fishworker Mask or any full body suit, and any opaque Helmet. As long as it hides the mouth, we're golden.

thats what i did for my first mod LOL

btw with WWISE project folder make sure to make a backup and use that backup folder for your workfile since when Creation kit does update you don't have to deal with CK overwriting WWise project folder when they do update sounds

Hey JR! Thank you for such a clear and concise tutorial to get all of this up and running! It was incredibly helpful for me, as this companion I'm working on is only my third mod. I'm anxiously waiting to see your next tutorial, hopefully expanding on companion creation. Thanks again!

I hope VFRT2 gets adapted for Starfield! Such a great resource. This was a wonderful well paced tutorial, really looking forward to more🎉

Yes, or LazyVoiceFinder! I think that sort of thing may take a while though. So glad the tutorial was helpful!

These instructions are so clear and well worded! This has got to be one of the best Starfield modding instruction series out there so far. This takes away a lot of stress when it comes to figuring everything out. Thanks again!

a lot of times Bethesda uses a bunch of 3rd party tools they have a license for and in the future, they recreate those tools in their creation kit like lip sync or the procedural planet stuff that uses Houdini

I've been waiting for this tutorial!! I'm new to modding but have spent hours learning the creation kit on my own specifically to create NPCs and quests. Shame about lip sync but I have no doubt the scene will evolve in the next few months

​@@JosephRussell Thanks actually there is one thing I haven't figured out because its setup different in a fallout 4 CK guide and hope I'll make sense here. But when I try to setup an action for player dialogue in the scene tab it doesn't come up with 'Prompt' for the player. I see the Player and NPC sections but no prompt. I think what's meant to result in the visual box is that its supposed to say "Player" in one box and "NPC Response" in the other however the player one is blank and therfore it's useless for ingame. I notice there is a "player dialogue" checkbox in the top section of scene tab as well as "Greeting" checkbox which is changed from the last kit so it looks like its done differently. Do you know how I can the dialogue sorted for the player or you reckon this is for another video? 😅

Dam was hoping for lip sinc that’s nuts … I hope Bethesda gets this sorted…. ASAP thx for ur video very helpful to navigate around CK thx

If you convert your mod from .esp to .esm don't forget to change the folder name in /sound/voice/Mod.esp/Mod to /sound/voice/Mod.esm/mod took me ages to find that error haha

Hope lip sync can be implemented soon.

@JosephRussell

It's much harder. You'll have to look into adding it to the Starfield SoundBank in WWise. You'll definitely need a license so apply for that as soon as you're able. Unfortunately I can't provide more guidance as I don't fully understand it myself.

@joseph Russell before all, thank you for your great tutorials about CK. I have a question: how are localizations managed in the various supported languages? Do you know something about it? It would be a great help if you mentioned something about this in your next video, then I'll take care of getting to the bottom of the problem. Edit:can i have a dialogue without audio in some way? You say if seconds are 0.00 wont work. Workarounds without file audio?

@JosephRussell

12 күн бұрын

You're welcome! I'm afraid I know nothing about localisations. You're fine to add dialogue without audio - the 0.00 seconds thing is referring to what it looks like if you try to add audio in the wrong format. If you add dialogue with no corresponding wem file, then it'll just show up with a subtitle - but only if the player has subtitles turned on.

Does NPC dialogue work without sound? I have followed similar steps to create a quest, an NPC, an alias for the NPC, a scene, etc.. but I cant get my NPC to engage like yours did

Do you know how to export player faces from the game into the Creation Kit? The command 'spf ' doesn't seem to be creating an .npc file for me.

Do you have any idea why any player dialogue I change in seems just makes a copy file when uploading and doesn’t change anything? I’ve been stuck for days now.

was there a filter applied to you voice because your character had a helmet on?

@JosephRussell

24 күн бұрын

Yes, the engine automatically applies various filters depending on things like that.

At 16:00, it says to navigate to Data > Sound > etc. I don't have a Sound folder under Data though. Any thoughts as to why it doesn't exist in my directory? **Edit** I figured it out. You have to use the record feature in the Creation Kit. The Creation Kit then builds the Sound folder for you under Data. I don't have a mic on my modding computer, so I used the Robovoice option for it to create the directory, and now I'm uploading my audio recordings.

@JosephRussell

Yes, the Record feature will create this directory for you, but otherwise you can just create the folders yourself.

Any word on the lip sync issue? How would it normally be done if the CK was working correctly?

@JosephRussell

Impossible to say, it's not that the feature's there but doesn't work - there's no button, or anything like that! In the Skyrim CK you used to have a button you could press marked 'Generate .lip' at the bottom of each dialogue info box, but Starfield doesn't use .lips.
