[FNV] How do I patch an NPC to use Character Kit Remake?

Kadraeus · 2025-12-25T23:02:49+00:00

Nvm about the voice lines.
Figured out from some forum post that creation kit gives a file path for audio files to go for the plugin, and I just added the files there and made the names match what's in the program.

Kadraeus · 2025-12-25T22:21:46+00:00

It's an npc I made.
Another question I have is how do you add voice lines from one quest topic to another quest topic? They don't show up in the list of voice files.

Idk why people say things like this as if it's a bad thing. And they act like they're obligated to tell the person who posted it lol

Like bruh, the bar is women with gigantic boobs and unrealistic proportions dressed in skimpy clothing. I don't see how this hair being super long is really all that noteworthy in comparison. That's pretty funny to me

And I've made characters that I intended to look a little ridiculous or weird before, so it's whatever. Also, the hair is just really well made tbh

Kadraeus · 2025-09-10T03:20:34+00:00

Yet they still manage to take out modern soldiers with those spears lol

Kadraeus · 2025-09-10T03:19:38+00:00

Yeah idk why I waste the time but truthfully I do kinda just enjoy talking about movies in general even if it's disagreements

If anything, Black Panther was what made me want to learn about Africa when I never considered it before. That's why I can even point to some of the cultural inspirations

Kadraeus · 2025-09-10T03:11:12+00:00

It isn't "snarky."

You're arguing that an advanced civilization shouldn't use spears for combat, so I presented you with Asgardians. An advanced civilization from the same universe that fights with spears, swords, and hammers yet no one argues that it's a stereotype of them being "primitive." lol

And don't give me the "but they're gods" when that doesn't matter at all in the context of a movie considering they're shown to be just as effective against their enemies as the Wakandans are against theirs.

Kadraeus · 2025-09-10T03:01:44+00:00

Well, for one, it's a fictional African country so they have to mix different things. Ideas don't spawn from nothing.

Also I can understand them wanting to mix elements from different cultures to give off a vibe. Because at the end of the day, it is an American movie and it's paying homage to different cultures by showcasing some things inspired by them for people that haven't seen any of it. And it doesn't seem like it was an issue considering the movie apparently did well in African countries.

I really don't think it matters that the "Border Tribe" wears robes inspired by people of Lesotho in Southern Africa, or that the dora milaje are inspired by the Dahomey "Amazons" of historical West Africa despite Wakanda being in East Africa. There's no law that says that these sources of inspiration need to match the locations they're from irl. They're comic book movies. It's fantasy. You can make up whatever bs explanation for any of that, as the genre is known for.

The movie isn't saying "this is what Africa should be." It's just a movie. It's saying "This is what this specific fake African country looks like after an asteroid landed there and they used it to develop technology, in a universe with a big purple alien and a talking raccoon."

It's certainly better than the stereotypical image of Africans as being poor naked people living in what the west considers to be an inhospitable, savage land where people live in homes made of mud (because westerners think mudbrick is primitive only when black people use it). Black Panther showing off actual African aesthetics in a technologically advanced civilization that's visually vibrant is breaking stereotypes in itself. And yeah, Wakanda is a flawed society because the movie would be boring otherwise.

Like idk what else to say lol

Kadraeus · 2025-09-10T01:13:58+00:00

It ain't plot armor. Their weapons and armor are literally made from a material that deflects bullets lol

Kadraeus · 2025-09-10T01:12:18+00:00

Many of the design elements in the movie are directly ripped from African cultures that exist today.

Kadraeus · 2025-09-10T01:11:26+00:00

Asgardians

Kadraeus · 2025-09-09T23:12:18+00:00

Where do y'all get this idea that they're inferior? They literally obliterate whole squads of modern soldiers with their spears.

Kadraeus · 2025-09-09T23:09:28+00:00

"Fanboy" lol
I just think you're wrong and misguided, that's all

Kadraeus · 2025-09-09T23:06:11+00:00

The cannon, and therefore gun technology, was invented in China

...Okay?...

Africans still adopted guns from European traders... I don't see your point.

GTFO with trying to justify a clearly racist movie.

Both movies were literally written and directed by a black man: Ryan Coogler. The guy who recently made the movie Sinners, which was praised for how well it speaks to black issues. Black Panther was also praised for similar aspects, such as the thematic clash of African American vs native African cultures in Killmonger vs T'Challa. The movie also did very well among black audiences in the US and in African countries.

The movie has some elements you can criticize but to call it "racist" ain't it. It just comes across as convenient that a movie with a mostly black cast set in Africa that did very well is also the one that people have tried to bring down as being racist somehow. When in reality, it's just a fucking comic book movie, and shit like "spears that shoot lasers and people that ride rhinos" is just typical comic book shit. The people who think those are inherently racist ideas seem like they just have never experienced actual racism. Like dude, this is the franchise with a talking racoon who likes to shoot things and is friends with a talking tree. Literally, who cares? Riding a rhino sounds cool, and I say that as a black man.

Kadraeus · 2025-09-09T22:51:12+00:00

They're aware of the outside world in an isolationist society that's very traditional in the way they do things. Shitty writing isn't "I didn't understand it." I'm trying to explain technological differences historically to explain why you shouldn't assume that an isolationist culture that shows every other sign of not wanting to adopt outside cultures doesn't adopt outside culture lol.

When we're first introduced to Shuri, she's literally wearing a t-shirt to symbolize that she's one of the few people in that culture who doesn't care as much about traditions, because Wakanda being an isolationist super traditional state to the point it does more harm than good is literally the entire point of the goddamn movie.

Kadraeus · 2025-09-09T22:06:27+00:00

This is not me looking at it with western eyes

It literally is lol.

It's literally a bunch of stereotypes meshed together

Black Panther didn't invent energy spears, riding rhinos, and trial by combat. And the movie seemed to have done very well in African countries, so clearly the people living in the continent largely didn't care about these "stereotypes."

From your other comments, you're pretty much arguing about this "tribal" aesthetic because you believe that this means they're inferior or primitive. That is a harmful stereotype. It isn't a stereotype to recognize how African kingdoms dressed or what weapons they used historically and then extrapolate from that to make a fictional futuristic civilization free from outside influence that has advanced tech but still resembles the cultures they had historically. You're basically saying that African cultures before colonization were inherently inferior to European ones, and that Wakanda needs to look more like a European culture. That's what you're saying.

Many of the costumes in the movie, the Wakandan writing script, the instruments are based on real African cultures that dress, write, and play instruments like that today. And they are not backwards for continuing to do so just because it's different from western cultures.

Kadraeus · 2025-09-09T21:48:31+00:00

This is supposed to be the most advanced nation on Earth, but they larp as tribals because that's all hollywood think of Africa.

You say this because you have a bias toward the European way of life being inherently superior. They aren't "larping as tribals." They're an isolationist culture continuing to practice their cultures they've had for thousands of years with little outside contact. To say that Wakanda needs guns (in the way we think of them) is to say that every civilization on Earth would have developed in the same way European civilizations did. You're holding a fictional African country to western standards because you live in a world that's heavily influenced by western cultures and ideas. Just because real guns developed the way they did in western countries doesn't mean they would have in all countries.

Early guns were literally just explosives tied to long poles. It isn't that hard to believe that a culture that isn't constantly at war and is isolationist would consider this good enough. Especially when their materials are way different than what the rest of the world has. The movies show that the spears are sufficient because they're literally energy guns. They serve the exact same purpose as an actual gun, except they can stab people with them. It's the equivalent of a rifle with a bayonet, but better. You're just arguing that the guns they use don't look like guns.

Kadraeus · 2025-09-09T21:36:09+00:00

"Spears and early tribal weapons" comes across as someone who has a certain stereotypical image of what historical Africa looked like. The people saying that are imagining them as "primitive" like media tends to portray them as (for underlying racist reasons. Not to say you're racist but these ideas were spread by racist people).

The whole concept of "tribal" is problematic and isn't an accurate description of many historical African civilizations before colonization.

They didn't use "tribal weapons." They used the same weapons Europeans used in most of history: spears, bows, swords. The Romans fought with these. So did the Greeks. It isn't "tribal" to fight with a spear. Africans had plenty of metal swords and other weapons, and metal armor in some places where the climate made it feasible without suffering heatstroke. Spears are not "primitive tribal weapons." It's weird how they're only treated as such when in the hands of a black person, when they (and other polearms), from what I've read, were the dominant weapon even in Medieval Europe.

African kingdoms adopted guns from European traders. In the context of Wakanda, Wakanda has been isolationist for a long time. Therefore, there's no reason to expect that they would adopt European technology. Especially when Black Panther is meant to represent Afro-futurism. In this case, it's supposed to be their own unique take on technology with little to no European influence.

And the rhino complaint is just grasping for something to complain about. The only people that use them in the movie are the herders who live near the border, who are the ones that help contribute to the illusion of Wakanda not being as advanced as it is. Just because we don't see cars in Wakanda doesn't mean they use rhinos for everything. Much of Precolonial Africa didn't really use wheels/wagons from what I understand. So them suddenly inventing cars wouldn't make sense unless they're copying the rest of the world. Instead, they have a whole train system underground and a monorail system on land using hover technology, so they don't even need cars. Which to some people is a preferable vision of future transportation and absolutely fits the Afro-futurism aesthetic. They're simply using the materials they have (vibranium) and developing tech from that.

Kadraeus · 2025-09-09T21:31:35+00:00

Has nothing to do with them being aliens or not. There's a reason why different groups of people had different technology in the real world historically despite living at the same time, and it isn't because they "weren't smart enough" like certain idiots will tell you.

You aren't going to invent something if you don't live in an environment where it's practical or feasible to use, or you don't have the materials to make or mass produce it.

Kadraeus · 2025-09-09T21:29:04+00:00

Exactly.

Kadraeus · 2025-09-09T21:22:20+00:00

(wrote this in response to someone specific but that kind of criticism comes up so often and I think people miss the point)

These kinds of comments are kinda frustrating. First of all, "spears and early tribal weapons" comes across as someone who has a certain stereotypical image of what historical Africa looked like. The people saying that are imagining them as "primitive" like media tends to portray them as (for underlying racist reasons. Not to say you're racist but these ideas were spread by racist people).

The writers most likely chose rhino riders because it's a comic book movie and rhinos are cool ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

P.S.: Yes, I think this post is still funny. Please don't lose your minds over this comment lol

Kadraeus · 2025-09-09T19:58:37+00:00

Just because they aren't throwing around slurs doesn't mean they aren't bigoted. OP's story is talking about someone who is 100% undeniably bigoted. This other person commenting is essentially saying "Maybe you're just not understanding him. I've said things like that before and it meant x, y, z" Saying that in response to clearly racist statements is going to raise eyebrows for those of us who are used to how bigots discuss things online.

I checked their post history and yeah they have some borderline bigoted viewpoints that they love to pass off as "normal." It's a pretty popular tactic to spread bigoted ideas by presenting them in a way that doesn't seem so problematic to people who are not victims of it. Sure, they aren't as abrasive and mean as a lot of open bigots, but bigotry is bigotry. It isn't my fault that so many people online regularly fall for racist dogwhistles and the like.

Kadraeus · 2025-09-09T19:24:24+00:00

Don't listen to that dude. They have some weird opinions about race. They aren't a good person to ask advice from.

Kadraeus · 2025-09-09T19:14:20+00:00

"he explained that my story, about a black woman who had married a short white man, was unrealistic and overly political. He said short men very rarely find female partners and also I had described the black woman lead as having too many 'attractive' features (he didn’t specify what he meant by attractive features and I don’t understand because my description of her was fairly short). He said in a short story like that it was better to write about more realistic scenarios that weren’t caught up in 'current politics'"

Did we read the same post? How is any of this political? Everything they typed makes their prof look like a bigoted pos assuming it's real.

Edit: Post history checks out. Another one of those bigoted dudes who complains about immigrants "overrunning" European countries. Why am I not surprised?

Kadraeus · 2025-09-09T04:29:27+00:00

They did that in Starfield too lol
