soulgem oven SGO4 Oviposition Effect Integration - 3BA CBBE 1.0

 Introduction

 I made this mod quite a while ago. Judging by short tests, it worked quite well technically. At least I haven't found any bugs in it yet.
 It just so happened that the first normal maps I created were defective, which completely ruined the whole impression of this mod. Also, at that time I realized that I couldn't devote enough attention to studying Skyrim modding and this mod due to financial problems, so I gave up on finishing this mod. But the thought of unfinished work didn't give me peace. So, I finally sat down and figured out the normal maps. I won't say that the result is perfect, but it is much better than what was originally.

 For this reason, I can finally allow myself to share this mod with you.

 

 Initially, this was an attempt to use the "CBBE 3BA/BHUNP Oviposition resources" to visually display the soul stones on the heroine's stomach.
 Unfortunately, I realized that this was not enough.
 After experimenting with resources, I managed to create new morphs in the amount of 12 pieces: 1 for each soul stone ( SGO4 IF  allows you to wear up to 12 stones). The result lacked only new normal maps, which the author of the above-mentioned resources helped me create. Thanks to him.

 

 

 About

 This is a small mod that does the following:

• Adds 12 new morphs to the 3BA CBBE body .
• Adds 12 normal maps with overlays for different amounts of gems.
• Tracks the current progress of each gem in the heroine's stomach and, depending on their number, changes the normal maps and current morph values.
• The size of each morph depends on the size of the soul gem in the character's stomach.

 

 

 Requirements    

• Body 3BA CBBE and all its requirements.
• SoulGem Oven 4: Integration fork and all its requirements.

 

 

 Installation

1. Installs like any other mod, it is better to use some mod manager.
2. Use BodySlide to build your body (in my case it's "CBBE 3BBB Body Amazing"): select the body in the Outfit/Body list, make sure you have 12 new "Oviposition X" sliders (probably at the very bottom of the list), click the "Batch Build..." -> "Build" buttons .
3. If you want the new morphs to appear on your armor, you will also have to rebuild it (as far as I know, the situation is the same as with "CBBE 3BA/BHUNP Oviposition resources").
4. Launch the game, make sure SGO4 IF is running.
5. By enabling the mod in MCM, you can enable debugging and monitor the initialization in the console.
6. If the mod suddenly doesn't work, save, load a new save file, turn off the mod, enter the MCM again and turn it on again. In any case, give the mod some time to start working.
7. Make sure to disable the normal map override in SGO4 IF settings. This mod will do it instead.
8. It is highly recommended to set the maximum number of stones in the SGO4 IF settings to 12 pieces. Otherwise, this mod will not work correctly!

 

 

 Configuration

 In the MCM menu you can:

1. Enable debugging.
2. Speed up or slow down the mod check ticks.
3. Set the initial size of morphs to soul gem level 0.
4. Set the maximum morph size to the maximum soul gem level.
5. The NIOverride index is a test function. Please do not touch it!

 

 

 Possible conflicts

• This mod will conflict with any mod that overrides body normal maps via NiOverride .
• There will be conflicts with mods that override body slider configs and the body .nif file.
• Unfortunately, for obvious reasons, this mod is not compatible with "CBBE 3BA/BHUNP Oviposition resources" and any mods that use it.

 

 

 Permits and credits

 Since all the assets in this mod were recreated by me manually, except for the files that override the morph settings, I give everyone permission to reuse anything I made myself. In that case, I would be happy to be notified about it, and I would also like this mod to be credited.

 

 As a basis for normal maps, resources from the following mod were taken: dw's Pregnant Normal Maps for CBBE 3BA.
 If I understood correctly, in the "Permissions" section, the author of the mod indicated that he allows reusing the resources of this mod. Many thanks to him for his work.

 

 Big thanks to DuckytheBOT for helping me with the normal maps. Thanks to his help and instructions I finished this. Also thanks to him for inspiring me to do this mod.
 Big thanks to DarkBlade13 for supporting me in my endeavors!
