(Solved) Editing BaseFemaleHeadChargen.tri to get rid of Toothpick

[sinivii]

That Goddamned Fallout 4 Toothpick.

 

So there's a fix for this age-old deformity since the launch of the game now, for people who use the Vanilla BaseFemaleHeadChargen.tri, and also doubles as an info-dump for what I am on about:
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/57990?tab=description

 

I use Asian Face Enhaced.

This fix works if you use AFE, but it breaks being able to change Mouth-Type and also deforms the Mouth Parts. I read in the comments that the author got rid of the Toothpick by editing the .tri file provided in the mod. No problem, I figured.

 

Loading the AFE - Version of this mod up in Outfit Studio, it doesn't seem like the mouth sliders affect the mouth-parts properly. I tried simply deleting and conforming sliders from an imported Asian Face Enhanced BaseFemaleHeadChargen.tri onto the fixes file, and while that fixes the mouth-parts, it also re-introduces the toothpick.

 

 

 

So it seems I gotta delve back into Blender for this. I have 2.8+, is there a handy guide I can follow on editing headparts for Fallout 4 using it?

 

 

 

EDIT: (Gonna start colorizing these for the fun of it.)

I managed to import it into blender. Now I just gotta... I'unno, gonna snoop though.

 

EDIT:
So it's definitely a problem with the shapekeys! I think. Having very limited experience with Blender I can confidently say I think I am right because I cross-referenced the working fixes with the broken fixes with the vanilla fixes and noticed what moved and what didn't. 

 

So the problem is that when you change sliders that don't affect the mouth-parts at all, it will move some those vertices regardless. Here's an example of that:

Now I just gotta make those parts stop moving when you edit parts that shouldn't move those parts BUT FIRST, I gotta figure out how shapekeys actually work. Heh

 

 

EDIT:
I managed it. Figured out how it worked and I fixed it, got rid of that GODFORSAKEN TOOTHPICK! for Asian Face Enhanced at least. I'll dump the fixed file here I guess?
