Adding a bodyslide slider to every armor

[Player80]

This is a very specific request for help. Let's say that I wanted to add the .bsd files from this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/41380?tab=description

 

I have the technical knowledge to import the .bsd to the default body I'm using (in this case, 3BBB), open up the racemenumorphs psc to add them before recompiling, and adding them to my 3BBB.xml in CalienteTools/BodySlide/SliderCategories.

As expected, the newly added sliders now show up in game and I can directly edit them using the racemenu "CBBE Morphs" page.

 

It seems that I'd need to manually add the slider to all the armors I'm using. This can be pretty tedious to do (the process is simple, I just need to open up the armor in bodyslide studio, create a new slider, select it, import the bsd and save). Since the manipulation takes about 10 seconds, this could scale to hours of manual editing for every single armor.

 

Is there any way to automatically add these sliders to the .osp files I want?

afaik, .osp files are just text files (XML specifically) by any other name.

 

So it's not unreasonable to think you could automate the change using a script, albeit not a "skyrim script" since it'd be done outside skyrim.

I think you're right. It seems like it only needs a new line, that can be simply copy pasted from the previous one and then change the slidername.

exactly. Still "just appending a line" to a hundred  or more buildable clothing/armor items could be tedious by manual cut-n-paste, so I understand where you're coming from
