can anyone who has the time to follow the instructions on how to voice Boone send me a version of the mod that has a voiced Boone? i would be EXTREMELY appreciative.
Went ahead and installed this mod just to collect some info since there isn't anything in the description. I'd give this mod a 2/5 if you're looking for a serious companion mod. There are many issues I'll lay out.
Finding him was a bit of a pain. He was at the Ranger Cabin as described, however after clearing the bloatflies, I couldn't see him anywhere. Then, a general subtitle came up with Boone saying something, and I checked around the back of the cabin and he was there, but he was invisible. After interacting he became visible.
There is no voice acting. Often times I don't really mind, but it was a pain that I could read a 3 word sentence but couldn't move past it for several seconds.
For as far as I can tell, there is no affinity system. I stole a bunch of things and he didn't do anything, and no notification came up.
His default weapon (for me at least; I'm not sure if it varies) was a heavy sniper rifle and a machete, which I wasn't concerned about. From what I could tell, though, was that he wasn't very responsive when enemies were around, and would only shoot every once in a while. Hopefully this was a bug with his gun and not just him in general.
The biggest issue for me was that he won't be dismissed. I dismissed him 3 or 4 times and nothing happened. There is no list of settlements for him to move to. All he says is "I'll make my way there" and that's about it, as he continues to follow you. I'm unsure if this is a bug in this mod or a conflict with the Everybody's Best Friend mod.
I'll have to uninstall for now. I'm hoping that this mod gets updates frequently and isn't just left in the dust.
I agree that this mod could use some TLC. I do, however, like that he has his sniper rifle and machete as that is what he always had and used by default. Hope to see this mod pic up or another one like it pops up.
If you cant see his body it is likely because you are using a male body replacer and it is conflicting with Boone.
As for most of the rest of the issues everyone is finding (cant assign him to a settlement, etc) most of these can easily be corrected with Amazing Follower Tweaks. AFT will allow you to assign him to a home settlement, modify his equipment, change how he reacts to nearby enemies, how close he follows, etc. AFT will do virtually everything you need for a companion other than generating their body and give them voice acting.
That is because the mod isn't voiced. There are instructions on the description page for how to get him is Fallout NV voice lines in the description (although admittedly those are not very precise). Personally I'd love to see someone actually go through this process and record it as they do it, then link the video here to the mod.
I was going to ask if you also added his voice from FNV, but then I noticed your note at the bottom of the description. Thanks for that. I know you couldn't post him with it because of the rules on Assets from Other Games, but maybe a Google Drive download link for those who have a hard time with things like that.
I have an idea for how to voice this companion: Completely fore-go the idea of using any of the original sound files from Fallout NV and simply have someone run some voice lines for him. Yes, it means his voice would be different but it also means that you have 100% creative freedom on how you want him to develop in the Commonwealth. Is he friendly? Stand offish? A complete dick? Or does it change based on your actions and encouragement for him to be either a cold blooded murderer or a man of honor?
Having him interact with MacCready would be freakin awesome!
Suggested mods which go great with this: Militarized Minutemen Service Rifle weapon replacers (or other decent looking weapon mods) Amazing Follower Tweaks NCR 1st Recon Beret - Standalone (a must have...too bad it has not been updated for AWKCR / Armorsmith)
NOTE: Using Boone with Amazing Follower Tweaks may help to address some of his lacking AI components as AFT comes with a basic AI package.
