Silencing Talkative Followers Unilaterally

This mod attempts to reduce followers from talking over each other. Specifically, they will not start new idle comments when (a) the player is in dialogue with any NPC, (b) any of the current followers are talking or are in a scene, or (c) the player is close to non-follower NPCs in a scene.

Important:

• []Some followers rely on idles to progress. Examples include Remiel and Xelzaz, among others. If you're wondering why they haven't said anything yet, keep an eye out for them shrugging their shoulders and (lightly) waving arms. This means someone else is stealing the spotlight from them. Give them some time to butt in.[/]

  []Followers can still talk over each other if they happen to start at almost exactly the same time. However, this is not a common occurrence.[/]

  Configuration/Troubleshooting:

  • []To turn off the STFU feature, run the console command: stopquest FK_QUST_STFU[/]

    []To turn off the detection of nearby scenes, run the console command: set FK_GLOB_StfuForScenes 0. 0[/]

    []To change the distance for detecting nearby scenes, run the console command: set FK_GLOB_StfuForScenesDistance # (Use a positive decimal number. The default is 256. 0)[/]

    []To exclude an NPC from being considered for nearby scenes, click them in the console and run: addtofaction FK_FACT_StfuIgnoredSceneActors 1[/]

    []To exclude a follower from silencing altogether, click them in the console and run: addtofaction FK_FACT_DoNotStfu 1[/]

    []If a follower is bypassing STFU, then you can patch their idles to be conditioned on a gap in dialogue. A zedit script is provided in the miscellaneous files and on github that completely automates this process for you.[/]

    []If your followers have stopped talking completely for at least 10 minutes, drop a note in the comments, so I can help you.[/]
