Anthro Shark Race (Female Pictures Included :D) [REQ]

[Taven]

Tried this race, and I opened racemenu twice like it said....but the head seems to load with no textures, it's entirely blue. >< Is there something I did wrong? I did install this all in as usual...would it be load order? becaus I put it at the very bottom.

[Blackness blackness is...]

 

We all have odd fetishes that come out in games. I think that is why mods are freaking awesome. It's a chance to, for a few hours, play around with our fetish, Whether it be lusty argonian maids or sexy shark women (someone please make it).

sexy shark women indeed

 

i think all that water wrestling with the fish in re games changed Leon. now he's addicted to them 

[Taven]

 

Can someone tell me what else I need for this mod to look like this: http://www.loverslab.com/topic/12952-anthro-shark-race-female-pictures-included-d-req/?p=904655

UPDATE: Tail is FULLY missing.

 

The resource pack is just that... an unfinished resource. 

Dorito Snow couldn't figure out how to attach a proper tail, so it's an item you can pick up and equip in the qasmoke test room. (coc qasmoke)

 

This is just an idea but maybe you would find more success in acquiring models and textures if you offered to pay someone to make them? Considering how many are interested in this, if you pool your resources together you might be able to afford it. :3

 

Dude, NO. 

Paying for mods is lame and also illegal. I mean, technically it's illegal to MAKE money from a mod, so if someone really wanted too, go right ahead, but again... Super lame.

 

- - -

 

In any case, I took a whack at the resources and rebuilt it myself. Still an awful wip tho orz

Needs the DLCs because I was going to give them some nifty powers, but forgot before uploading it. Derp. I added a some little scales and some hastily resized hairs, plus fin sliders under Brows. You can have ears, a fin, both or neither! Compatible with any armor Argonians can equip. They might be able to fight underwater as well, but I forgot to test it. >_<; Does not work. :T

 

This version requires an updated Skyrim, all the DLC and RaceCompatibility.  SharkShizzle.zip

It includes a working playable race, "both" genders, and should be compatible with whatever body mods you're using. If not, get an XPS skeleton possibly. Textures are UNP tho, so expect seams. They're also unfinished, so expect them anyway, regardless. 

 

Problems:

I managed to screw up the tail & ear textures, because evidently they don't use the body texture, herpderp.

The eyes flash from certain angles because I forgot to fix the speculars.

All default face sliders tear the face apart. I may have fixed this, I may not...? See Important Note below

There is a pre-set up a male version, but there are no textures for it yet and all the parts are from the female bits we already have here.

I did this over lunch basically, sooo lol. I did test it a tho, so it'd bad but playable.

 

EDIT: I might upload a slightly fixed version tomorrow. Maybe. My race mods aren't great, so this is still 100% resources, if anyone wants it. 

I'll be testing vampirism and lycanthropy if I can get to it tonight tho. Tested and work fine for me.

EDIT 2: IMPORTANT NOTE - RaceCompat works a little too well. Initial character creation will look broken and have mostly Nord options. Just leave it and use showracemenu afterwards to start over. All Shark options and things like eyes will load properly.

 

 

Tried this, and unfortunately like I said, I have the blue head thing...and after trying it again after a few days, the body is entirely black, except for the hands. Not sure why, but I hope it's not because of the fact I installed the new bodyslide for UNPB with a HDT vagina. ><

 

[Taven]

....and another mod seems to have fallen silent. ><

Give him time and stop claiming death

Well, there's not been word of anything from him for quite some time..other than the demo version that was posted here.

[kyubi3002]

uping the topic here

[Serenna187]

okay i finally got this mod working after several pointless ctd's...and i must say,lovely body textures but this head really needs some work+shivers+

things to note,,changed to beast skeleton, seemed logic because of the tail.headparts lacked textures,fixed within seconds once i had found the right entry.set morph race to nord to go with the proxy settings,,that probably fixed my ctd too.vampire variant lacked morph race and armor race entry,also changed that..

this race certainly deserves as much attention as the lykaios one,and i'm eager to see any future progress

Huh..did you get all of this done in the CK? I'm not entirely sure how to do that myself...could you post your fixed version here? Because I couldn't select this race without it CDing as soon as the cursor went over it. ><

[kyubi3002]

Serena if you got a working version of this to stop the CTD pls do us a service and send it to us x.x

[lj123]

I'm breaking my months of lurking to say I'm hopping on the "please give us your fixed copy" train. I'd love to play this race but can't . 

[Serenna187]

well then okay,here it is.thing is,you have to set the race via console command ( setrace _srrace ).then open the racemenu via console and switch to another race then back to shark to get the head right,and please don't touch the preset slider,,it ctd'd for some reason for me,no idea why...

maybe i will rebuild it from ground up if problems persist and fix my humanoid argonian race as well..

Agh...well doing all this does allow me to play as this race...but the entire body aside from the hands and head remains entirely black for some reason. I'm not sure, but I'm hoping that my mod 'Better Claws and Gauntlets' isn't causing this, because it only affects beast race hands and correctly gives them claws when wearing a fingerless gauntlet or when they wear something on their wrist, like the steel bracers.

[Serenna187]

easiest way to find out would be to deactivate said mod and try again

oh and another note on the racemenu ctd,,it seems to come from the lack of a tri file for the head mesh,that one controls and allows you to morph facial features,so,,,don't touch any slider that changes the head and face..i think and you should be safe

Well unfortunately after even removing the mod I talked about before, the race only worked for one load. After loading that save with the shark in it, the body remained black. ><

[Serenna187]

well that is certainly an interesting problem...black body textures seem to be the result of too less vram or a bad install of said textures,,,yay google.or you didn't set archive invalidation in your skyrim ini

Archive Invalidation? Huh, thought you only had to do that in Oblivion....besides I've never had do that in skyrim with any new races I've installed in the past. I don't think it's Vram, because surprisingly on this laptop of mine, I can download some 4k textures without much trouble. So...it's probably Archive or bad texture install. ><

[Serenna187]

nah you need it in skyrim too,didn't know it back then and wondered why hardly any mods worked...so your ini file should have this.the ini file should be in a directory like this C:\Users\YOU\Documents\My Games\Skyrim
 

[Archive]

sResourceArchiveList=Skyrim - Misc.bsa, Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Skyrim - Textures.bsa, Skyrim - Interface.bsa, Skyrim - Animations.bsa, Skyrim - Meshes.bsa, Skyrim - Sounds.bsa

sResourceArchiveList2=Skyrim - Voices.bsa, Skyrim - VoicesExtra.bsa

bInvalidateOlderFiles = 1

SInvalidationFile =ArchiveInvalidation.txt

Huh, I don't have the last two lines of stuff anywhere in my skyrim.ini file...do I just type it in or do I need to find it somewhere? By the way, I don't even have this archive thing and my 200+ mods all work swimmingly. It's just this one that has that weird black body bug. Would getting archive invalidation screw things up instead?

[Serenna187]

just type them in with your text editor of choice.hmm interesting then,back then only a fraction of the mods worked for me..on the other hand i didn't use steam for the mods and the nexus mod manager has been updated like a dozen times since then..and no archive invalidation shouldn't screw things up,it just tells skyrim to not use the older one of 2 identical files

Sorry I didn't respond as soon as I tried this, at the time was away from my computer for some time...but unfortunately, putting the archive stuff there did not work..so I can only lean toward the other reason why the shark race is making a black body. ><

 

[Serenna187]

then i wil just assume it is vram,how much does your gpu have?are you using ssme or enboost?,,,and i just noticed the body texture is 67mb big for some reason..try replacing the textures with those

femalebody_1.dds

femalebody_1_msn.dds

femalebody_1_s.dds

Ah, thanks, those files actually got it working properly now. I can only hope someone's out there refining this mod. On the nexus, there was this guy, Wolf of Azar, who worked on the Vaalsark race, and the Kygarra race. Hopefully we could get him to help us here, because he said he also was working on a Shark race....but recently he's gone quiet..

[Serenna187]

good to hear then,and yeah,,i hope so too,,the only major problem this race has is the head mesh and it's textures right now,,,and those are beyond my skills..

I fear this topic has been lain to rest ;(
