SpeakUp Child

Description
Have you ever found it strange that children pawns speak the same dialogue as adult pawns? Well, I did, and someone else did at one point...but they deleted their mod.

This is a complete overhaul of the interactions seen in the mod Speak Up. As such, Speak Up is required.


What does it add

  • Unique dialogue for child pawns 4 and under. Babbling, broken English, and all.
  • Dialogue for multiple mods, including:
  • Pawnmorpher 1.3
  • Babies and Children 1.3
  • Dub's Bad Hygiene
  • Cutebolds
  • Nyarons
  • Anthros
  • VSIE
  • VTE
  • Bundle of Traits
  • Probably more

Compatibility
Should be compatible with everything

The dialogue spoken is a broken form of English, as I tried to emulate how children have difficulties pronouncing "R's", and how they oftentimes speak with incorrect pronouns, prepositions, etc...and after making this mod I think I'm fluent in toddler language.


I added interactions for many mods as seen above, and I know I probably forgot a few of them. If you don't have one of the mods installed, the dialogue simply won't be used.

Fair warning, you may get annoyed by the children, especially if you have multiple little brats running around your colony. You may end up like Adult Pawns who dislike children...

Another warning: Adults will swear at any children they dislike. F-bombs and all. Children however, will not swear. They will however, ask why they hate them so much...here is the link to the SFW version:

See how long you can play with a colony full of children before you commit your first war crime.

Known Issues:
  • Fluffy's Mod Manager throws an error saying the mod depends on SpeakUp >=0.0.0, safe to ignore.
  • Alien Races that have weird life stages, such as Androids from Android Tiers, will speak the dialogue meant for children. For now, a workaround would be to change their ages via Character Editor, or edit their life stages in Rimmsqol.

If you encounter any issues, let me know, preferably with a log if possible, many thanks to those who have provided error logs as well as any feedback! It's greatly appreciated!

To do

  • More interactions - Prisoner interactions are complete, but I was having issues with adult to children interactions, needs fixed.
  • Clean up code - More code clean up...
  • Working on some additional mods that would work hand-in-hand with this mod. No promises as to when or if they will be completed, just something to do in my spare time!

@lol - Funeral interactions are from Ideology I believe. Either way, the error is save to ignore, it just means the interaction won't play

Consider adding Biotech as a prerequisite?

An error if launched without Royalty/Ideology/Biotech:

[SpeakUp Child - Start of stack trace]
Verse.PatchOperationAdd(xpath="/Defs/InteractionDef[defName = "Speech_Funeral"]/logRulesInitiator/rulesStrings"): Failed to find a node with the given xpath
Verse.PatchOperationSequence: Error in the operation at position=1

@Ram - Done. Would've been done sooner but Steam wanted to keep changing the PublishedFileID.txt to a new one for some reason, took me a minute to notice it.

@Ram - Working on it

Would love to see 1.5 for this

@olaflexalex0306 - awesome, I'll check to see what changes need made, but I'm assuming the core SpeakUp mod just needed recompiled under the new framework, in which case it should work now, but I'll verify within the next day or two.

solidsnake it looks like the base mod just got updated!
solidsnake8608  [author] Apr 16 @ 3:05am 
@olaflexalex0306 - unfortunately, can't do much until then.

So Speak Up (base) still needs to be updated :/

@Melvinthebirb - I do plan to update for 1.5, just bought it when I saw your message :)
