Evelyn (Recruitable Character)

@mccheesy - That sounds great. Good luck with it. (If you look at Beep's default dialogue, it should provide a ballpark example for what you're trying to do.) The technical aspect was never the daunting part. For me it's more, "Ugh, I gotta write 1000 more words into this clunky editor."

@Undead Rufus I have been learning Kenshi modding and actually started on a Sparky mod as practice. If you're interested in any help, let me know. Currently, I'm trying to figure out how to have Sparky shout at Evelyn if she's in the players party and you get within dialogue range.

@mccheesy - Thanks for the comment, and I completely agree that would be awesome. The idea of yet another batch of dialogue was just daunting at the time. But since you mention it, and I haven't fired up Kenshi in a while, the idea has my attention again.

Ran across Evelyn in a new run after heading to World's End for some quick equipment gains. Didn't have much of a plan, but after hearing her story, my character decided to help her break her former partner out of Rebirth . After searching all over the place, came here to discover that it's just not possible. Apparently, it's just her backstory and not something you can follow up on. Would love to see this mod expanded at least to add that character so that there's the possibility of taking it up as a quest.

@Fei - You did, and thanks for that. I was missing it.

I'll do that, thanks for your time! And for creating Evelyn.

I made you install Kenshi again, so a good thing came from this at least :p

@Fei - Using Genesis and DEP, Evelyn is working as intended for me. I even checked the mod file in the Construction Set, and I can't find anything that would cause problems.

Regarding your issues.... Move Evelyn around in your load order. Start a new game to see if it's save corruption. If that doesn't help, start a new game without Genesis and DEP. (You can use a game start mod that gives you money, so you don't have to earn Evelyn's hire fee just for testing.)

Evelyn's dialogue after hiring covers multiple game situations, like healing, getting burned, reacting to slaves, slavery and bounties, etc.

There's only a chance any given line will trigger, so don't expect her to talk all the time. For testing, you can put her in a squad with one other person, let her or the other person get beaten down, and then see if she says anything while healing.

I don't know what else to suggest since I can't reproduce your problem. :(

@Fei - I don't remember if there are any triggers for noob zones. She should definitely comment sometimes when healing people, being healed, and recovering from unconsciousness, and she has a chance to say funny/weird things in combat.

I've got the game reinstalled w/ Genesis and DEP. Will let you know what I find.

My squad is about 10 members, Evelyn never said anything related to places, but Ive only stayed in the "noob" area for now (swamp, border, shem)
The weapon2 slot bug is a mistery yeah, she's is the only that does this, i tried other custom recruit and they works properly.

@Fei - Okay, I'll reinstall and see if I can reproduce you're describing. Please note that Evelyn's dialogue lines after recruitment are ambient comments based on specific situations and locations, similar to vanilla companions. The lines won't always trigger, especially if she's in a large squad, and she will sometimes borrow lines from the vanilla game (like remarks about being a woman in HN territory).

The weapon thing is a mystery, though. I've never heard of that before.

I got a bunch of new games over the holidays, and recently built a new pc after mobo failure. Kenshi just hasn't made it back into the rotation yet, but it will. :)
