This patch builder crawls your entire load order and builds a patch that merges all your armor mods. I made it especially for my Skimpy Clothes mod but discovered that it's more generally useful.
What it does
Lots of mods add keywords to the armor, and some ignore the keywords added by other mods. The result is that you lose some important keywords--like warmth, if you're running in survival mode. This patcher will create a new override for each armor that contains all t
This patcher makes a patch for NPCs that reflects your entire load order:
NPCs added by mods will be furrified
Vanilla NCPs altered by other mods will have their changes carried forward. So, for example, if you're running with an AI Overhaul mod it makes changes to the NPCs; then YA changes them again, and you lose all the AI changes. This patch consolidates the appearance changes from YA with the other changes from earlier in your load order.
Any changes to races are merge
This patcher creates armor overrides for your entire load order ensuring that (1) all furry races use the Khajiit variant of headgear (except for Cervids and Equines) and that any changes made to vanilla armor are not overwritten by Yiffy Age itself.
Tools required
xEdit. This is straightforward. Just make sure you can run it from within MO, if you use MO. the STEP project has good instructions on the setup.
How to use
Copy the BD_Furry_Armor_Fixup.pas
Edit: For the record, this tool is implemented and has its own thread here:
I can't really do what I want to do with FO4 if I can't do proper weight painting and I don't have full control over the nifs I create. So I've decided to have a look at making proper import/export tools between Blender and FO4. I'm using this blog to track thoughts and progress notes along the way.
There are two possible routes:
Extend the niftools package. That is currently being activ
I've downloaded Fallout 4 (again) and I'm having a look. There's a pretty steep learning curve here, I think.
I'm not in love with the new tri expressions. I'd rather have an "angry" expression than have a bunch of individual part movements "left eyebrow down". The YA angry expressions include ear movement... I'm not sure how that can be reproduced here. I'll probably put some ear movement in... somewhat randomly, I'm afraid.
Still collecting tools and sorting through thi
I have my update to the Lykaios posted. I'll go through the rest of them over the break. Not a lot to do, but nearly every mod has a few bugs to chase down, in addition to upgrading to the new hoodies and digi mechanisms.
Then what? I don't have a next big project planned. I ought to go through Immersive Creatures, on SE especially, and finish that up. I have furrified/skimpified/shlongified Bruma and Reach and I don't know that they were ever properly posted. I suppose I should get
I'm playing with changing up the Hoodies mechanism and thought I'd let y'all chime in. @MadMansGun, @Blaze69, @Valehyena, @KestrelSky, @poblivion, @Kuroyami, @ASlySpyDuo, anyone else who cares.
Currently there's the usual start-game enabled quest that runs a script that does everything. And it has a player alias that runs a script attached to the player. Schlongs report their 4 levels to the main quest which builds a master list at run time. Which, in one person's game, is 120 entrie
Okay, furballs, I'm looking for some advice on the digitigrade thing. @MadMansGun, @Blaze69, @Valehyena, @KestrelSky, @poblivion, @Kuroyami, anybody else:
I've been exploring ways to make the digi addon not require an extra esp. I pretty much know how to do that but I uncovered some other cool things along the way.
The whole reason I need scripts at all is to handle sneaking, sitting, swimming, etc. Otherwise, the root node could just be positioned in the foot mesh and th
I've decided to get serious about SE conversions, so here's a thread.
And to start with: WTF and really? Just got Birds converted over. The conversion process looked like:
Copy mod to SE folder
Run
So what are the rules? Do I have to jump through a bunch of hoops with converting nifs? I didn't even open up CK to set that bit for SE.
This is just a place I can collect ideas and requests so I don't lose them. Note that this isn't a promise to do any of this--things are here because I'm not doing them now.
