Budroi Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 Download my link in post #1812. either us nmm to install or drag and drop data folder. overwrite everything. Â It contains Body and armors including HDT files in the correct paths. With that you shouldn't need to do anything aside from maybe add HDT to armors i have not finished yet. Â To do it yourself: There is a detailed walkthrough with pictures a few pages back.
Shiroyasha13 Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 I don't really get the instructions, sorry I'm new to the whole modding scene so I don't really know what I'm doing with this. I downloaded the Hdt file, I have the cbbe and skeleton installed, and thats as far as I actually got. I'd appreciate some help please, I really like this body mod.
Budroi Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 The step by step instructions at this page are really good. it is a repost of someone elses. honestly i can not explain how any better. i dont feel any information/steps were left out. If you can not get things working after following this I don't know what to tell you  http://www.loverslab.com/topic/10270-conversions-for-manga-body/?p=566933  Step 9 has a dead link but you can skip it i am not sure what it is for.
Shiroyasha13 Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 thank you very much, this actually helped quite a bit. Just a quick problem though, is the hdt.xml file meant to be a text file or folder? because it just becomes a document for me, or tells me to open it with internet explorer or notepad or whatever kind of program I choose.

Â It is a .xml file. Personally dont know much about different file formats but i believe it is a type of programing text file. you never need to open it. A reference is added to the body and armors that force the game to read the HDT.xml and apply the physics to body and armors. just put hdt file somewhere in data folder (remember its file location and use said file location for step 5). if your computer is auto changing its format i dont know how to help with that.
Shiroyasha13 Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 alright thank you for all the help. I'll keep workin on this I'm getting this mod damn it! Thank you again for the help.
dahfusroh Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 It says in the instructions that I need ADEC manga for this to work for ADEC body, where do I get that?
astfg949 Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 I have followed all of the steps that s666 gave. The game loaded fine but the problem is that my character's body was missing (invisible)
Balboa2151 Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 Thank you Budroi......now those are very good directions that an unskilled modder can understand. LoL .....thanks
Budroi Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 @ dahfusroh  On the first page is all the requirements and their respective links. Finding the adec stuff all there.  However my link on last page with armors contains the body as well. All made for the manga DM v3 (adec) only thing missing is the textures but you can get the textures on first page or you can grab my tattoo post just after the armor body post which carries the body texture. if you grab my tattoo texture you will still need the hand and head textures from link on first page. until i put tattoos on them. Actually I'm going to make those now.  BRB   *Scratch that Hands are ok but i dont have a good face tat. Â
zax Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013  Files required to work ADEC 1. ADEC body - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/5390/? (install in NMM) 2. Need normalmap - Link, replace in SKYRIM\Data\Textures\actors\character\female\femalebody_1_msn.dds 3. XPMS http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/26800(install in NMM) . 4. Download ADEC manga and replace femalebody_0 and _1 in SKYRIM\Data\meshes\actors\character\character assets\. Im curious what is an additional normalmap still needed for? Wasnt that intended as band aid for CBBE textures users?

Wasnt that intended as band aid for CBBE textures users?   It adds definition to the look of the character. I have one that makes my character look muscular. well, I had one, i used a super smooth normal map and combined the texture with a muscular one. good middle ground resulted. Your character's actual body mesh is smooth with no definition. The Normal map technically effects how light/shadows land on your skin which gives definition or at least pretends to.   If you have Paint.net open one up and look at the gradient of it and you can kind of get an effect of how shadowing will work.  http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13377/? <----Muscular  http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/140/? <----Smooth  ^some of those contain regular textures as well with basic shadowing on the skin already to help accentuate the effect but for the main details caused by shadows all you need is the files with _msn.dds   *edit* I just looked at the one offered in link on frist page and this one has a slight shadowing built in for the vein look near breasts that is not present in other normal maps. Its ever so slight though. If you have Paint.net open one up and look at the gradient of it and you can kind of get an effect of how shadowing will work.
zax Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 Hey, thanks for explanation, actually I knew what they are used for, but doesnt hurt to consolidate my knowledge! What I meant is why are they listed as requirement for this body? Everyone is using different normal maps and ADEC body has its own as well. I remember in earlier version we were suggested to use CBBE diffuse and ADEC normal map (or some other custom map? didnt check), but now that ADEC is listed Im asking, out of curiosity, whats the reason? Â [ninja edit] *edit* I just looked at the one offered in link on frist page and this one has a slight shadowing built in for the vein look near breasts that is not present in other normal maps. Its ever so slight though. Hmm, interesting.

KingBrouza Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Hail to all of you, skyrim heads! Wonder if anyone can help me with something. I installed the "HDT" and followed the instructions and it works well; except, deseased females in game look like this one on the picture below. Heeeeelp  http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=204815851
Ronin Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Does anyone know any other good sources for TBBP armors like the ones offered on this topic?
Slaanesh Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Help please! I downloaded the ADEC body convert Manga Body V3 and her bellybutton is all stretched out weirdly, it kind of follows the camera. Also on a different note, could some please explain to me what the differences are between Manga V3 and Manga DM.

Slaanesh Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 I use XPMS, hmm maybe my tbbp dragonfly animations messed with it? Or maybe the deadly mutalation mod, i wasnt quite sure how this mid was going to work with body when i downloaded it
Ronin Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Any ETA on the Osare Culort Outfit by chance? Also are there any other conversions that you have lined up for the future? Great job with all the conversions.
Slaanesh Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 http://www.loverslab.com/topic/6416-megalovs-thread/ can you convert the armors from here, of course lady bat is already done.

Bownfire Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Im new to all this. so i downloaded this mod everything that says it was required. but i got no idea how to use it. can anyone point out a good guide for starters? if i need to use any commands or something else , FIY used NMM downloaded and activaded the mods.
Arcanic_Eye Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 So I followed the instructions up to 4 when it asks me to select the new insert. Not sure I understand, do I just overwrite the text that says NiStringExtraData or write in the black space that says txt. And was I suppose to load femalebody_0 or 1.
