Hi there! First I want to say I'm loving the mod. It's very useful!
I was wondering, though, if you might be interested in adding a feature or two, perhaps as a configurable option rather than a default. Quite a few modders have started using this for pets and other non-human NPCs, so might it be possible to add an option to suppress generic dialogue (ex: reactions to digging in the trash in front of the NPC) and pop-up dialogue boxes (such as greeting other NPCs when walking close by)?
If not, no worries, and I can look into other options. I just thought this might be something that would suit being coupled with this particular mod and figured I'd ask. :3 Thanks for your time!
Hi Aardvark! To avoid duplication of effort, I wanted to note that I'm now working on EssGee's request above as an "NPC Creatures" mod that makes various adjustments suitable to pets and other non-humanoid NPCs. I'm leaving Anti-Social's functions to Anti-Social and referring modders to it in my documentation for those adjustments.
Something that just came up on Discord was that, to make more interactive versions of the antisocial base game NPCs, you can either take SVE's approach of creating an alternate copy, or do a set of Harmony patches that are effectively the reverse of the ones you're doing. So I'd like to propose a feature for you, if you're interested, to designate "Pro-Social" NPCs that would override the base game's antisociality settings for people like Mister Qi, Marlon, Gunther, etc.
designate "Pro-Social" NPCs that would override the base game's antisociality settings for people like Mister Qi, Marlon, Gunther, etc.
I looked into that in the past and, unfortunately, it's too difficult/unwieldy to do given the way the base game is coded. It's possible, for sure, but I'm not willing to spend the required time mucking about with Harmony patches in order to do it.
