Devious Rubber Masks: Rebirth!

Hey, I took a little while but thanks for the pony masks! I also like how you ported the tails and wings (which weren't usable in the original).

 

I was actually able to resize them (two for now) so they don't look gigantic now.

It doesn't show it here but I also fixed the major clipping that occured on the back side of the neck of the mask whenever you wore a collar.

 

 

I didn't actually need (couldn't) use either NifSkope nor Blender (NifSkope can't resize helmets properly and Blender can't save .nif) Only Bodyslide's Outfit Studio did the job nicely.

The bad thing is that it's a little more time consuming than I thought. In Outfit Studio you have to repaint the bone weights every time otherwise the game will CTD whenever you wear a pony mask.

 

I have found two bugs though: 1) You can unlock the mask without a key. 2) Pinkie's inventory preview shows Lyra.

 

Once I resize them all I can send you the .nifs if you want.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

I'll fix up the Pinkie mask as soon as possible.

 

And I would appreciate the resized nifs. You've done a great job with what you've shown me.

 

And, if you don't mind, may I use one of your screenshots as part of the mod's screenshots?

I always give credit where it is due, and you will be given full credit for the resizing and screenshot.

No prob. But I could take slightly better ones if you want. That's because I play Skyrim on medium, so I could up the settings, focus the FOV, disable the HUD, etc.

Although I wouldn't take a screen of every mask and bodysuit, there's just too much of them ^^'

 

And I'll send them as soon as I'm finished.

I'm fine with whatever you wish to send me. Thanks a bunch!

Quite easy, actually.

 

I can make a new mod with this mod as a master.

 

I'll get it done as soon as I can.

Quick question: Did you want the whole thing to be in 4 separate parts, or just the body with boots, gloves in one whole suit with the mask separate?

LOL I used to have another version of the Ashlotte Armor that JackGa has since removed from Steam, his blog, and numerous hosting sites. I can't find my copy, but I seem to recall that the armor originally came in four parts. As such, I thought it would be easy to do matching pieces like the Tali set. Ultimately moot given the backup I provided, and I am rather pleased with what you've done regardless.

 

On another note, all this pony talk has given me some ideas. Specifically, full bodysuits based on the original GMod material with the new DD Pony Play Boots enchantment. And just because it just came to me, an integration add-on for S.L.U.T.S. called "The Autism Express." XD

It's actually the same armor, with the 4 parts as you said. I just made it so the head was one piece, and the other 3 were all one suit. I didn't modify or mess with the meshes at all.

I just made 3 armor addons, and with the _Rendered part of the bodysuit, I just added all 3 of the armor addons and made sure that the same slots were selected so they would show properly.

I've done something similar in a personal mod of mine, so it was pretty simple to do.

 

I would LOVE to see full bodysuits of the ponies (especially Twili) with the DD pony play enchantments. If you knew where to find them in a converted form, then I can easily implement that into the mod!

As for the S.L.U.T.S mod you mentioned, I haven't heard of it until now. I'll have to look into it, see what it's about.

[HyperonicX]

Ok, I had a look at it, and while it does look good, it is incompatible with one of the mods I use for fast travelling.

I may have to think of an alternative for that FT mod.

But I may think about that patch sometime later down the track.

"The Autism Express."

That passive-aggressive name though.

 

Anyway, a full body suit for the ponies shouldn't be too difficult to make. You could take a DDx's rubber catsuit and change the texture so it matches the color of the hooves and mask.

I did something like that in a private mod, but I couldn't add the cutie mark on the flank, so I put it on the back and on the arms. Looked pretty good.
I was making a Twilight Sparkle one for shits and giggles.

 

That shouldn't be a problem, though. Adding the cutie marks may be a bit of a pain, but doable. (Unless I forgo them and just make the catsuits the same colours.)

 

But I can't do the pony boots, which would make the most sense to wear with the mask/hooves/suit combo, because I cannot change the textures.

If there was a way to get them working properly in paint.net then I could easily get it to work.
I'd test it with my private mod first, and once I had it working, I would implement it into the pony file.

Yeah, I get ya. The way some models are textured make it very difficult to edit because the texture ends and starts at weird places.

 

You should use GIMP (it's free and like a lightweight version of Photoshop), you can edit DDS files directly there without the need to covert them to a png first.

 

Oh and don't mind my profile pic. The site recently let me have one and I thought this one was cute.

I used GIMP once, and coincidentally it messed up my laptop. Then again, it was getting old.

Anyway, I'll give it a try.

 

No worries about the profile pic! XD!

Really? I use GIMP since I was a kid (I'm 20 now), when I had an Ubuntu Linux PC. Then on this same PC I installed Win7 (Celeron 1.8Ghz single-core, 1GB RAM, 80GB HD, onboard graphics.. Couldn't even run Minecraft comfortably, hell not even the operational system itself ran very well) but even that could run GIMP smoothly.

Nowdays that I have a PC that can actually run stuff like Skyrim on medium comfortably, I use Photoshop for general art stuff but GIMP if I want to edit a DDS.

Well I did download it, but the pony boots textures are still unusable! I only get the laces, and not the rest.

 

I'm gonna have to look back into the DD topics to see what the solution is, because I remember somebody giving me the info.

No no, it doesn't open DDS natively. It needs a small plugin but it's incredibly easy to install.

https://youtu.be/21-U-4Ul4zM

 

When you open a DDS, a prompt will appear. uncheck "load mipmaps" otherwise you will be flooded by useless layers.

And when you save your texture, another prompt will appear. In Compression choose "BC1/DXT1" and in Mipmaps choose "Generate mipmaps", Format doesn't matter.

 

If you're not comfortable with the GIMP layout you can "Copy visible" into another editing program, make the changes there and copy it back to GIMP (I'm not 100% of this works but I think I did this once).

Someone mentioned earlier in this thread that these assets were taken from GMod, but I can't really find anything in the GMod workshop that has humanoid anatomy. If anything, the assets of the original pony mask mod seem to have been lifted from this mod:
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/14981
...which in turn seems to have just extracted the forelimb assets for gloves. Ironically, the closest models I could find to what I was thinking of were some gag skins I downloaded for Left 4 Dead 2 several years back:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=121297718
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=305708748
Similar mod for TF2 (has screenshots)
http://www.mlptf2mods.com/mods/character_models_sniper/princess_celestialuna_sniper_model_by_kassgrein

 

I did found a few SFM models that are humanoid, but they have standard hands and feet. Kinda counterproductive, inasmuch as I had been thinking of incorporating the mod hooves already bundled with the masks as pony boots and bondage mitts (though the tits are rather nice).

The one Tommy from this mod is closer, at least limb-wise, to what I was thinking of (though it suffers from a lack of bobs and vajeen):

During my search, I also found MLP Daleks, because "why?"

And as thanks for all your hard work, here's something I found searching LoversLab, seems up your alley

Hey, I have an excuse, I'm on the spectrum.

 

Seriously though, I'm largely indifferent to MLP and the fandom, but I am very fond of joke mods. Inspiration just struck me as I was writing the previous post. Speaking of which, I just had another couple ideas for potential joke mod/settings. Use of Autism Express gear produces the same effect as that of the Man-Hide Suit:

And the tagline of the livery could be, "At least we're not Sonic."

I read it had something to do with a transparent alpha, whatever that means.

A lot of those I wouldn't be able to utilize, because they require converting, which I am unable to do.

It takes some 3d modelling skills, and I can't even use the Outfit Studio to save my own life, let alone use Blender!

 

I will say this, though: The Tommy Wiseau one was hilarious, as was the MLP Daleks! XD!

Ah, I see. I can appreciate a person who can make jokes about their own disorders.

I probably didn't pay enough attention. Cuz ADHD and all.

 

And lol, being a MLPony frighten everyone so they don't fuck you and don't steal your stuff. Sounds useful actually.

Oh I see what you mean now.

 

DDS Viewer shows it just fine but GIMP shows just the laces

 

I wonder, if you export it as an PNG by using DDS Viewer, and then use GIMP to edit, and save the edited PNG as an DDS, would that work?

It was actually a shot in the dark based on my experience with trying to edit textures in GTA SanAndreas years ago.

Sometimes a shot in the dark is all that is needed to get somewhere.

If it works, then it works. If not, then there is another solution somewhere.

 

But in this case, it worked brilliantly! Now my character(s) have a nice pair of purple pony boots with golden hooves! Gorgeous!

Hey friend, I played around with the pony masks a little more and I was able to do this:

 

It required quite a bit of tweaking and the strap kind of floats, but what do you think?

 

I have one with a blindfold too but the blindfold mesh looks too strange and there's a lot of clipping.
