OpenMW Voices of Vvardenfell patch

OpenMW patch for Voices of Vvardenfell

Use this with OpenMW 0. 51 RC1 or later version if possible! This removes the need to use the Lua Helper and it's dialogue ESP patches.

If you are using OpenMW 0. 49 or OpenMW 0. 50, you will also need to install the OpenMW Lua helper utility, which provides the Dialogue support ESP and lua script. Instructions are provided on that page on how to install it.

This update provides a new version of the VoV OpenMW patch, that allows for playback of ALL voice files from the Voices of Vvardenfell mod, including generic dialogue. The original MWSE script has been modified to run under OpenMW.

Installation and usage

Disable in the launcher or uninstall any previous version of the OpenMW ESP patch for Voices of Vvardenfell.

Make sure the OpenMW Lua helper utility is installed properly (if needed), and it's three files enabled in the Game Launcher.

Recommended method: Extract the files from the ZIP archive into a created folder. Load the OpenMW game launcher, select the "Data Directories" tab, and use the >Append< button to add the location of the VoV patch folder to the list. If done correctly, there should be a new entry in the "Content Files" section for "VoV OpenMW.omwscripts" and you should tick it to enable it. Make sure the load order position is after the OpenMW_luahelper.omwscripts entry that was put in when you installed the OpenMW Lua helper utility. Screenshots are provided in the media section to show suggested load order.

In game, you can press F10 to open the log viewer. During dialogue, you should see messages whenever it finds the correct voice file to play, or a message if it can't find it.

Compatibility issues

As with the older patch, if you use any mod that overhauls vanilla dialogue by altering dialogue entries, it will block this mod from playing the voice files correctly. A solution to these conflicts is the Delta Plugin mod by Benjamin Winger. Modding-OpenMW.com has a page describing its' usage, and a download link, and users have had a lot of success in unblocking much of the missing voice audio.

Since this is a Beta test release for now, I advise not using any important Save files while this mod and the OpenMW Lua helper mod are enabled in your load order. Any questions, conflicts with other mods, make a post and I'll do my best to help. Thanks.
