@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. :)

I'm using Genesis and Dialogue expanded ^^

How come you didn't infused yourself with some Kenshi lately?! :p

@Fei - I don't have either of those issues, and nobody else has reported them in the last 4.5 years. What other mods are you using? Also, I haven't played Kenshi in a few months, so it's possible some obscure update messed something up without me knowing, but probably not. Give me any information you can, and I'll reinstall the game for some testing.

I play with Evelyn since ~10hours, she can't equip any 2nd weapon in her inventory wlot.
She also didn't saod anything, nor any custom dialogue after her recruit lines

Maybe that just it?

@TheThornyKnight - Thanks for the kind words. She was fun to write.

I just wanted to say what others here have said too. Evelyn is one of the best written unique recruits on the modding scene and I highly, highly recommend that you download her to add her to your world.

You did an amazing job Rufus. Really stands out among the crowd and I love her being about.

@Konstantinos XII Thank you. Glad you're enjoying the character.

love this unique, very fleshed out and hardened. love her dialog too

@Drath You're welcome. Enjoy, and thanks for subscribing.

found her thanks aging

ok thanks i will check there

@Drath "Evelyn is a recruitable gunner killing time in World's End." ;)

where do i find her?

@dnrob7 - I don't think so, but any number of Greenlander females are going to resemble one another. That's just Kenshi. Fortunately, her claim to fame is personality rather than facial polygons.

Looks just like Miu

@Orlando_MC You have to import your save or start a new game. Unfortunately, those are the only ways to spawn new characters in Kenshi.

Do I have to make a new save to get her to appear?

No worries. I didnt either. I only noticed it when I was trying to move the bodies from one mod into the other, and double checked to realize my Evelyn was black and yours was white. Checked the paths and there it was - local files!

@Amok Harvest That was simple enough to fix. Never occurred to me. Thanks again for pointing that out.

@Amok Harvest Thanks. I only have the one comment about that, so I didn't even know anything was wrong. I followed a guide when I made Evelyn and haven't really used the FCS to make another character since. I'll go back in and see what I can do.

Hey mate, figured out why she's spawning with different stuff for different folks - in FCS you have her referenced under data/bodies/exports. Thats your local file. You'll want to change that to export her as you intend. I found this out because I'm the author of Genesis Survival Mode, and I wanted to include Evelyn as part of the mod. Intending to reach out to you to get permission for contribution, this ended up being a bug report instead. :-)

@ssauraabi Thank you very much. And yeah, I still play Kenshi. Nothing released since Evelyn, but a couple more recruits in progress.

You still playing/modding Kenshi at all? If so, let me know, would like to talk to you.

She's great, btw.

@Holiday Thanks. :)

NICE

@Mr. Chiweenie The weapon isn't a separate mod. It's just a cloned, slightly modified Ranger.

Link for custom weapon?

Ah okay thanks! Still new to kenshi.. lol

@Nightshade06 As far as I know, spawning any NPC via mod requires either an import or a new game.

Does this require an import to get her to spawn?

@Jasuchin Her appearance can changed based on whatever mods you're running. As for her spawning with different hair, I can only speculate that some other mod might have overwritten the vanilla hair.

Somehow, she spawns in my game with completely different hair

@Rocksalt That's a fair point. If you follow her dialogue, she's been operating in a certain professional capacity for a decade, and at some point built a custom Ranger. Still, 82 might be overkill.

With an 82 in crossbow smith the word's 'quite good' and 'mid game level' mean that after the research is done, you can create the highest quality crossbows in the game automatically. Which is OK. There is some very real grind in this game.
