3BA and belly bulge

[TheTraveler]

How the hell do I completely disable this setting? I have already zeroed out belly bulge in the [ExtraOptions] section and still get belly bulge. What else do I need to zero out or comment out?

 

BellyBulge=0     #This is the multiplier for the new special belly bulge for vagina penetration. Higher values would cause a bigger lump on the belly. 0 would disable this special setting.

Make sure you're editing the correct file. CBPC is missleading when it comes to the CBPCollisionConfig*.txt files. Setting the bulge values for the giant's config file does not in fact change the size of the bulge applied to the player.  It might however give the giant a bulge, given the correct circumstances.

 

You may find this in one of the files:

[Options]
Conditions = IsFemale()

 

That would apply to all female actors. There may also be config files with no conditions and those I'd assume apply to all actors. So in other words, there can be multiple files in multiple mods overriding eachother (edit: I mean overriding on another level than just overwriting eachothers files). If in doubt, set BellyBulge=0 in all CBPCollisionConfig*.txt files.

 

As a bonus, in case you didn't know: You can refresh the cbpc config while in-game by issuing the "cbpc reload" console command. Might be handy here.

 I have changed the setting in both CBPCollisionConfig and CBPCollisionConfig_Female. Still getting a bulge. Its not massive, but its noticable.

Maybe its proper collisions, and not simulated like what BellyBulge does. Comment out NPC Belly under the AffectedNodes section:

[AffectedNodes]
#NPC Belly

 

Otherwise, disable cbpc entirely and make sure that is the source of the issue (only relevant if you know you have smp for instance).

 

Edit: Also comment out these, also under AffectedNodes:

NPC Pelvis [Pelv] # Pussy (and BellyBulge <1.5.0)
NPC Spine1 [Spn1] # BellyBulge (>=1.5.0)

well, that worked. No more bulging. Problem now is that the vagina won't open and the breasts don't bounce nearly as much as they were. Maybe somthing happened with my selections for the smp. I remember only commenting out the bulge option and that was all I needed to do. I reinstalled it, for some reason and now I'm having all these issues.

Probably this:

 

NPC Pelvis [Pelv] # Pussy (and BellyBulge <1.5.0)

 

See the comment (after #). Check your version of cbpc and don't comment out what you still want to use.

Fixed the vagina issue. Is there something I can do to have the vagina working but get rid of the belly bulge? Is there some different choices I can make with SMP of CBPC so that I have hte positives without the negtive?

Quite confused with what you're doing now. First of all, if you're fiddling with smp while trying to figure out an issue with cbpc you're only making this a thousand times harder for yourself than it needs to be. Disable smp entirely for this, unless you know exactly what the profile you're installing does. And don't trust the installer, just because it says "no vag collisions" does not mean it still doesn't in some way mess with the bones associated with that.

 

If adding back NPC Pelvis [Pelv] brought back both vag collisions and bulging then the only reason I see is that you're running a version older than 1.5.0. Also, I just tested BellyBulge=0 on version 1.5.2 and it works as intended; and as far as I know it has worked in at least all these versions: 1.3.6, 1.5.0. Unless you have SMP messing with things, that option alone should fix your problem.

Do I not need hte SMP stuff? The version of CBPS I have is 1.5.2

Right, look at it this way. If you just install physics presets, be it for CBPC or SMP, and don't inspect the files you could (and probably will) end up in a situation where you have 2 physics engines affecting the same nodes. Now if you're having issues with, say the belly bulge, how do you tell which mod is causing it? Reduce the number of variables you're dealing with; you don't need your characters tits to flop around when you're trying to debug an issue with something else right? You can put things back the way they were once you're done, and potentially deal with whatever new issues present themselves later.
