Better Barbershop CBO Extension 1.9

This is a mod built on top of Better Barbershop that makes the genes added by Character Body Overhaul customizable.

 

The idea is to mimic what Better Barbershop does with the Weight and Muscles settings, and extend it to the CBO genes. The changes only apply to a specific character, and are visual only. They way it works, is that when you change a value, it will attach a variable to the character that stores how that specific part should look like. It doesnt change the genes, so the changes are not inherited.

 

Since there is no way to get the value of the genes (or not that i know), the default values don't represent the characters unmodified values.

So for example, the Bust Size might be 160 on the character by default, but in Barbershop, it will still show up as 0%. Adding +5% will change the Bust Size from 160 to around 140 (128 + 5%), adding 5% again will change it to around 152, and so on. So the first change is not smooth, as the mod cannot tell what the original value was.

Same is true for height, you can change the height, but the value shown will not update. Its because the height is read from the gene, but the appearance is dictated by variables attached to the character.

 

The damn buttons are not left aligned, is someone knows how to do that, let me know.

 

Also, this mod won't let you add penis to women (the mod is meant to be visual only), but if your character is already a Futa, you can modify the penis characteristics. Futa's have no balls or public hair, so those cannot be modified.

 

No idea if it has an impact on performance, i would think it shouldn't.

 

Global settings apply to all characters, the max value will add a multiplier to the current value based on diff to min, while min adds a flat value to the current value

 

So lets say you set min to 50, while max stays at 100, then it takes the current 0-100 range that characters could have, and pushes it into the 50-100 range.

So a character that had value 50 for that gene, now has value 75. 

 

So this keeps the random variations in place, just changes the upper and lower bound. This is kind of a replacement to CBO Vanilla, you can limit genes that you dont want to see, like limit bust size globally, or weight globally and so on.

I might add a separate muscle slide for male and female, or if you have some other ideas let me know.

CBO Unofficial

Changes:

common/genes:

  Added bust shape 1-4 genes that can then be set in barbershop

common/scripted_guis:

  Added the scripting similar to how Better Barbershop does it. Clicking on a button calls the script in scripted guis, that might change a value in script values.

  The variables added by the scripted guis are used in portraits modifiers.

gfx/portraits/portrait_modifiers:

  CBO already had some part that were modifiable: public hair, penis type. I removed these and turned them into buttons, so the CBO changes are all at one place (also i dont know how to do dropdown menu in the gui).

  Burst size and penis size was already modifiable through traits, i made it so that if you change it in Barbershop, it will overwrite the traits appearance.

  Added the other genes in a way that if the variable doesn't exist, it makes no changes, otherwise it uses the values set in Barbershop.

gui:

  Made the changes so the buttons appear in barbershop

localization:

  Only have English, don't speak the other languages. (if someone is willing to translate, i can add those changes to the mod)
