BlackArk Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Will the next update include the amazing skeleton that Groovtama is working on? I tried replacing them manually but I think I broke the elin body scale, tiny head large body.
samusknight2k Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I need to look at what .tri files are provided in the version 2 beta release but it might be possible to add support for extra sliders in ECE, when using the RaceMenu plugin. Also regarding the issue with the skeletons there IS a mod for RaceMenu that adds sliders for every node in the default XPMS skeleton thus not requiring a custom-made skeleton. I've used that to tweak the specifics of my character's body before. Some sliders don't work but it allows finer tuning of the body. Only flaws I know of is if you use a mod that transforms your shape (Or turns you into a Werewolf or Vampire Lord for example.) it can screw up your proportions since these aren't saved I think. But as long as you don't transform it won't affect you even between game saving or loading.
PsychoMachina Posted February 11, 2014 Author Posted February 11, 2014 Sorry, I've developed a penchant for posting pics here now, I hope nobody minds... Today it just hit me just how much attention went into Yi Ka and Mi Ya's models, particularly the face and hair. I also find it awesome how the first thing Mi Ya does in a fight is summon a chicken. A real chicken among chickens. I have seen this chicken rape legendary dragons and help little old ladies cross Oblivion. Nothing wrong with sharing your tales of adventure. Will the next update include the amazing skeleton that Groovtama is working on? I tried replacing them manually but I think I broke the elin body scale, tiny head large body. Yes. Right now I'm working on some new bodies that do not require extensive editing of the skeletons. The current Elin 1.4 uses a combination of body and skeleton and changing either one with a different body or skeleton will produce odd results. That is why I did not officially advise everyone to switch to Groovtama's skeletons until the Elin v2 update. I'm thinking about an Elin v2 update that will also include v1.4 so in effect, there will be two types of Elins, but I have not decided to update the NPCs so the Elin NPCs will remain unchanged. I need to look at what .tri files are provided in the version 2 beta release but it might be possible to add support for extra sliders in ECE, when using the RaceMenu plugin. Also regarding the issue with the skeletons there IS a mod for RaceMenu that adds sliders for every node in the default XPMS skeleton thus not requiring a custom-made skeleton.

But as long as you don't transform it won't affect you even between game saving or loading. What would be the functions of the extra ECE sliders? As for the skeleton plugin for RaceMenu, that is why I prefer editing the skeleton itself, the meshes, or combination of both. Using RaceMenu or ECE to fine-tune the face is a given, unless you create all new head meshes that serves the purpose of producing glamorous characters without any 3rd-party help, but I prefer making predefined bodies based on what skeleton I plan to use. If you think about it, why bother making the many variants of CBBE (petite, manga, chsbhc) or UNP (7B, unpb, dreamgirl) when everything can be done with RaceMenu.
DoctorVector Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I've been curious, do you have any more awesome plans for future elin flavoured content, like the Lakeview Extended NPC replacers or similar? I'd love to see more stuff like that. I actually started looking into the creation kit and what it'd take to, say, develop a simple little Elin village. After going through the tutorial I envision using an interior cell as that would be easiest to manage, perhaps making a copy of the Moth Cave from Dawnguard and populating it with buildings, perhaps Tel Methyrin mushroom houses from Dragonborn which would be more Elin-like. The issue is I haven't found a tutorial on how make use of mod items....or the time. Anyhow, Elise's latest escapade... Elise: "Officer, by Elinu, I swear...." Yi Ka: "I remind you, m'lady, that Lady Elinu has already damned your soul on twenty two occasions, except she couldn't find it." Elise: "....I swear, I didn't kill those Thalmor in Elsweyr, hijack their airship and crash it into the Jarl's palace. It was those Khajiits. The ones on fire over there. And I did not set them on fire, honest." Guard: "....I was actually going to charge you with the theft of all the sweetrolls in town, but now that you mention it, where were you when that Daedric-damned flying monstrosity crashed into our palace?" Elise: "I wasn't killing all the chickens in town at the time. I'm sure I saw the perpetrator. It was an Imperial named Nazeem. He ran that way. By Akatosh..." Yi Ka: "I remind you that Akatosh is still after you for blowing up his last Falmer shrine just to steal his bow." Elise: "....he doesn't know that!" Guard: "....the chickens are dead? The chickens?! DEAD?!" Elise: "Uh oh...." Elise: "It's every Elin for herself!" Guard: "Stop, chicken murderer!!" Elise: "99 dead bards on the wall..." Sitala: "Do we have to get her out?" Mi Ya: "Good point. She does have a life sentence." Yi Ka: "I'm sorry, did I miss something? How did m'lady get a life sentence for wanton chicken slaughter grand theft sweetroll?" Mi Ya: "They managed to pin grievous bodily harm on every single guard in Skyrim on her." Yi Ka: "Grievous bodily harm?" Mi Ya: "Yes. She shot every single one of them in the knee. And then stole their sweetrolls." Elise: "101 dead bards-....oh, hello everyone~ Sorry, I didn't notice you all. I was too busy imagining shouting at stuff. Cause they won't let me shout at stuff in here." Sitala: "How'd they manage to shut your mouth?" Elise: "Oh, they just fed me some mammoth cheese....and told me that if I don't stop shouting they'd feed me more." Sitala: "...mammoth cheese....got it." Yi Ka: "Sahara, the lock, please." Sahara: "I'm on it. Hello again, Captain~ Never thought it'd be me springing you from jail. It's usually the other way around." Elise: "Oh yes, like that time I broke you out of Velika prison." Sitala: "....the time you two broke the giant wheel of Velika and rode it all the way to Popporia before crashing it into the Lake of Tears?" Yi Ka: "Now now, Sitala, we promised we'd forget about that." Sitala: "Forget about it?! I spent 6 months writing apology letters to the Valkion Federation! I still can't go to sleep at night remembering that!" Mi Ya: "....Sitala....you don't sleep. You haven't slept in the last 257 years." Sahara: "There we go! It's just a Master level lock. On a maximum security cell? Pshaw, they're not taking us Elin thieves seriously." Guard: "Who goes there? Wait, by the eight! Walking talking skeevers?!" Sitala: "You got a point. She smells like one, dressed like one too." Sahara: "Err...LT, I think she's talking about all of us..." Mi Ya: "Hey, you, mammoth breath, keep walking if you want to keep your knees." Sitala: "Did you just call me a skeever, Sahara?" Sahara: "He said it." Sitala: "Hey you, boy-toy in the skirt, did you just call me a skeever?!" Guard: "You outsiders shouldn't be here. You're all under arrest pending questioning!" Mi Ya: "Yeah? You and what army, soldier boy?" Mi Ya: "Oh....that army." Sahara: "It's alright, they've all been shot through the knee, right?" Sitala: "They look mighty pissed about it, yes." Yi Ka: "Do we have a plan, m'lady?" Elise: "Shout at them!" Yi Ka: "....If that doesn't work?" Elise: "Shout at them lots!" Sitala: "....The queen must have been high on shit when she made this tail-chaser hollow-ears Knight Captain..." Elise: "...It wasn't shit. It was really really good Elin-nip. Sahara only gets me the very best from Popporia!" Sitala: "...Elin-nip? You drugged the queen with Elin-nip and she made you captain?!" Yi Ka: "....sisters, we are surrounded. M'lady, if you'd be so kind. The rest of you...." Mi Ya: "Yes?" Yi Ka: "Close your ears and get ready to run as soon as the dust settles." Elise: "Fuuuuuus...." Sitala: "W-wait, you can't be seri-..." Elise: "ROH DAAAAAAAAAAH!" Oh and this is now my new desktop wallpaper. Mikael: "Oh young girl yonder, it must be by Mara's blessings that we meet here and now." Mi Ya: "Then Mara must be drunk. Either that or insane, which, judging by the music playing, might be more likely." Mikael: "Oh, yes, my music drives all fair damsels crazy with passion, whether it be mortal or aedra. Mara, surely, is no exception." Mi Ya: "That was you singing? Give me one good reason why I shouldn't have you feed my pet sabrecat right now." Mikael: "I would rather feed you with words and sonnets of love, young lady" Mi Ya: "M'lady, permission to hand this one over to Sitala." Sitala: "Oh yes, the werewolf in our dungeon is out of kitty litter, come to think of it." Elise: "Let them eat cake!" Mi Ya: "I'll take that as a yes. Come here, bard."
fundementals Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Hi again Psycho! Sorry about another message but, I want to use Osare's clothing mods. And Osare uses UNP. With the CBBE body I used, the UNP clothing clipped and stuff (Of course). But then! I remembered there was a UNP texture also! I downloaded it and installed it, uninstalling the CBBE, kept the same load order, but the textures didn't really line up with the body... I think I installed it wrong. Is installing the UNP textures the same?

I'll look around for a nice HF home additions for the other HF homes. I was thinking about a village or small city featuring the GT races. It will be accessible from a portal much like how you reach Fort Dawnguard. I still have much to do so the village/city is pushed to the very bottom of my To Do list. Hi again Psycho!

I had to undress my character so yeah.. it's NSFW... Looked at the screenshots. The textures you installed is not for the body your Elin is using. The nipple decals (textures) situated above the nipples are clear indication of that. First, uninstall the body and textures then reinstall the UNP body with default textures and, if you want, any custom UNP texture replacer from the Elin texture pack.

You mentioning a possible NPC replacer mod for that makes it more so. That's it, the perfect Elin settlement. You have made my day once more, good sir.
fundementals Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Do I uninstall the "ElinRace - Monli..." One? Or the "ElinRace.esm"?
PsychoMachina Posted February 12, 2014 Author Posted February 12, 2014 Do I uninstall the "ElinRace - Monli..." One? Or the "ElinRace.esm"? Uninstall "ElinRace - Use Monli custom BBP Body.esp" so that means uninstall the CBBE New Elin Body and install the UNP option. If you installed manually, delete "ElinRace - Use Monli custom BBP Body.esp", install the contents of "00 UNP Core" then the UNP Elin body and default textures. You can optionally install a texture option from the UNP NewBody Texture Pack. There is no need to uninstall the main race files including ElinRace.esm. If your game starts to crash, you might have removed something from the main files. Just reinstall the main pack then reinstall the UNP New Elin Body and, if you want, the UNP NewBody texture.
fundementals Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Ah I didn't get what you meant at first, but then I got it. Totally forgot about the old thread that had the UNP mod on it. Thanks for the quick help Psycho! ^^ I started playing Skyrim again like.. 2 days ago, with a fresh install, so I had to get all the Elin mods back. XD Oh just a quick question. You posted 2 UNP body mods. One was I think UNP with BBP, and the other one was like.. Thin UNP? Or something like that. I used the Thin one.. or the one that doesn't have the BBP on it. What are the differences between the two UNP Bodies?
PsychoMachina Posted February 13, 2014 Author Posted February 13, 2014 There are no "thin" bodies for the latest Elins. There is a flat-chest, non-BBP, albeit curvy, body and BBP and TBBP bodies that have breasts. I did at one time added the x117 body, but this was for an older version back when the only body (CBBE) they used was from the Monli race (there were no custom CBBE or UNP options).
DoctorVector Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 So my first ever attempt at modding was a quarter of a success. Quarter because (a) I modded a mod using a mod and ( I kinda messed up and overwrote the original mod file instead of create a new plugin. How do these things work anyway?! Anyhow I have successfully turned Tikrid of Interesting NPCs origin into an Elin. This was a triumph. I'm making a note here, huge success. (Obviously not something to be released, mod etiquette etc and I'm not really all that keen on going and asking for Kris Takahashi's permission). In essence a proof of concept success. Now just need to iron out the kinks, like her facial skin colour not matching her body and, well, overall quality. I mean, look at that, she just looks miserable next to the awesome that is Yi Ka. Once that's sorted I can move on to trying more awesome things.
PsychoMachina Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 This is your first time so it's best not to do comparisons or else it can cause frustrations. Her facial features can be edited with with the sliders in the face morph tab. After your done and save the changes to the plugin, you need to press "CTRL+F4" to create the face tints. CK might spit out some error messages, but those tend to be CK being buggy and not finding some morphs like eyebrows or something of that nature. Just go ahead and create the face tint with "CTRL+F4" and that will take care of the dark face.

And this is why you're the pro and I'm a n00b. My next challenge is getting facepaints and scars to work. I'm sure it'll be yet another dead obvious thing I'm missing, y'know, like 1st page of the official tutorial or something. Ultimately the goal would be to produce Elins with distinguishable faces....as impossible as that may sound XD. Elise: "Nirya, what did I tell you about the cloning spell and Elins?" Nirya: "Archmage, I insist it is the very best invention since Elin-nip." Elise: "....Nirya, what did I tell you about the cloning spell, Elins and Elin-nip?" Nirya: "S-sorry, Archmage....m-must....have more...Elins...." EDIT: My Elins all have this strange disjointed look about their wrists as if their hands didn't quite fit onto their forearms. I wonder if I installed something incorrectly as I notice your screenshots don't have these?
PsychoMachina Posted February 15, 2014 Author Posted February 15, 2014 Pro? Thank you, but I'm far from being a pro. To add facepaints and scars to an npc, have you tried customizing your own Elin with those face details then using "spf <filename>" to create the face data file (<filename>.npc found in the Skyrim folder). Open your custom npc in CK and go to the CHARACTER GEN PARTS tab. Click on the IMPORT button (top-right) and choose the <filename>.npc file. This will transfer the face data to your custom npc. Don't forget to save the changes and create all new face tints (CTRL+F4). Make a backup of the plugin before making and saving any changes just in case something goes wrong.

I'll give that a try. I just discovered the hard way that .ESP files cannot read data from other .ESP files in-game (or at least I THINK this is the root of the problem). Found this out when I tried to create NPCs with hairstyles from the elin hair plugins = auto-fail with the character defaulting to the default elin race hair and gaining that odd dark face bug again despite the ctrl+f4 thing. I've managed to fix it but only by opting for a hairstyle (and eyes) that came with the original elin ESM file. I didn't notice this before as my first NPC was using the default elin race hairstyle. Suddenly I understand why people ask about creating unified ESM files. Anyhow, my latest attempt at failing modding. Serana: "What's that in the sky?" Yi Ka : "An eagle?" Elise : "It's a cliffracer!" Sitala : "This is Skyrim, Captain Nip-for-brains. Dragons allow only one thing in the sky - dragons." Mi Ya : "Whatever it is it's coming this way!" Elise : "I think it likes our singing~" Alassea: "....The dragonborn comes~" Sitala : "S-stop singing! Stop i-...oh Elinu..." All : "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" Elise: "Aww....it wasn't a cliffracer....I don't like being wrong. You made me wrong. I'm going to shout at you. Until you stop moving. Then loot you. Then burn you. Not necessarily in that order."

PsychoMachina Posted February 15, 2014 Author Posted February 15, 2014 Well, you're learning pretty much the same way I did, trial and error and a lot of facepalming. Plugins access master files, but not other plugins. Master files can access other master files, but not plugins. Example: The ElinRace.esm requires Skyrim.esm and RaceCompatibility.esm whereas any plugins requires ElinRace.esm and RaceCompatibility.esm. If you want to use one of the custom Elin hairs then what you do is open both the hair plugin and your npc plugin in CK. Activate your npc plugin. Find the custom Elin hair (HDPT) you want to use and change the Name and ID (example: change to "<npc name> Hair"). Make sure you do this for both the HairLine (<npc name> HairLine) and the main Hair (<npc name> Hair). Save the changes and your npc plugin will contain those new headparts. You can now assign those hairs to your npc, but you still need the Elin hair mod. I'm planning on creating one race master file that contains some of the other mods, including the custom hairs. Right now, I'm fiddling with BodySlide 2 to create new bodies that will use Grootama's skeletons and a new summoning mod.

Sitala: "....the time you two broke the giant wheel of Velika and rode it all the way to Popporia before crashing it into the Lake of Tears?" Yi Ka: "Now now, Sitala, we promised we'd forget about that." Sitala: "Forget about it?! I spent 6 months writing apology letters to the Valkion Federation! I still can't go to sleep at night remembering that!" Mi Ya: "....Sitala....you don't sleep. You haven't slept in the last 257 years." Sahara: "There we go! It's just a Master level lock. On a maximum security cell? Pshaw, they're not taking us Elin thieves seriously." Guard: "Who goes there? Wait, by the eight! Walking talking skeevers?!" Sitala: "You got a point. She smells like one, dressed like one too." Sahara: "Err...LT, I think she's talking about all of us..." Mi Ya: "Hey, you, mammoth breath, keep walking if you want to keep your knees." Sitala: "Did you just call me a skeever, Sahara?" Sahara: "He said it." Sitala: "Hey you, boy-toy in the skirt, did you just call me a skeever?!" Guard: "You outsiders shouldn't be here. You're all under arrest pending questioning!" Mi Ya: "Yeah? You and what army, soldier boy?" Mi Ya: "Oh....that army." Sahara: "It's alright, they've all been shot through the knee, right?" Sitala: "They look mighty pissed about it, yes." Yi Ka: "Do we have a plan, m'lady?" Elise: "Shout at them!" Yi Ka: "....If that doesn't work?" Elise: "Shout at them lots!" Sitala: "....The queen must have been high on shit when she made this tail-chaser hollow-ears Knight Captain..." Elise: "...It wasn't shit. It was really really good Elin-nip. Sahara only gets me the very best from Popporia!" Sitala: "...Elin-nip? You drugged the queen with Elin-nip and she made you captain?!" Yi Ka: "....sisters, we are surrounded. M'lady, if you'd be so kind. The rest of you...." Mi Ya: "Yes?" Yi Ka: "Close your ears and get ready to run as soon as the dust settles." Elise: "Fuuuuuus...." Sitala: "W-wait, you can't be seri-..." Elise: "ROH DAAAAAAAAAAH!" Oh and this is now my new desktop wallpaper. Mikael: "Oh young girl yonder, it must be by Mara's blessings that we meet here and now." Mi Ya: "Then Mara must be drunk. Either that or insane, which, judging by the music playing, might be more likely." Mikael: "Oh, yes, my music drives all fair damsels crazy with passion, whether it be mortal or aedra. Mara, surely, is no exception." Mi Ya: "That was you singing? Give me one good reason why I shouldn't have you feed my pet sabrecat right now." Mikael: "I would rather feed you with words and sonnets of love, young lady" Mi Ya: "M'lady, permission to hand this one over to Sitala." Sitala: "Oh yes, the werewolf in our dungeon is out of kitty litter, come to think of it." Elise: "Let them eat cake!" Mi Ya: "I'll take that as a yes. Come here, bard." I want to ask, what armors are using for yours elins? Also a vilage of elins? i will die of cuteness overload DX I really want to see that XD sorry my english as always The main Elin is wearing outfits from Kankaraya (hat and coat). The rest, including what Mi Ya is wearing, is currently eluding me. (stop apologizing, your English is just fine)
DoctorVector Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 I want to ask, what armors are using for yours elins? Also a vilage of elins? i will die of cuteness overload DX I really want to see that XD sorry my english as always Your english is perfectly fine! Also, you're the one who put together the Fox Shop aren't you? Thanks for that, that was an excellent mod. I must admit I did not just a double but a triple take on looking at the pics on the wall in the store. An elin village would be really really awesome, yes, I agree. The lakeview replacer is the closest we've got at the moment. Tel Nalta would be awesome when it's complete. And if I actually get my head around the creation kit I might give it a try myself. As Psycho said, the main character's wearing the Kankaraya set as linked plus: - bandoliers - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/16438/? - Mufflers - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/37673/? - Goggles - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13133/? All the Elin followers are wearing the Saber Lily (FSN) chest plate and other bits: - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/35454/? Mi Ya's wearing - SC4 Ivy's dress - http://modtype.doorblog.jp/archives/31954253.html - And most of the saber lily parts Yi Ka's wearing the Saber Lily dress. Sahara's wearing: - Northgirl armour set - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/38053/? - dwemer goggles from the Kankaraya store Sitala's wearing: - The Eilhart dress - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36845/? Serana's wearing: - hunting grounds set - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30466/? - Parts of the northgirl set
PsychoMachina Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 That reminds me. @Smokermegadrive, can you update the Fox Shop to include the armors that were released since your last release? I think there are 2, maybe 3, sets that need to be added. Let me know and I'll send you the files.
DoctorVector Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 As an aside, I know it might be a lot of effort but any chance you could please give the individual fox armour pieces names?

The Japanese seem to put in a lot more effort into their 3d modelling. Unfortunately most probably get shot down at the Nexus for being 'lore unfriendly' etc. Speaking of the site, there are a few elin race items on there, though I didn't give them a closer look. They were on the last few pages. I'm happy to help with names if you like. Anyhow, last adventure for today: Sahara: "Ooooh, a bar! Can we go in? Please? Pretty please?" Mi Ya : "Yes, please, I could use a glass of cool milk after lugging all those dragon bones around." Sitala : "You know, we don't really use them for much. Why do we even bother?" Elise: "Cause it's loot! We've got to carry the loot home. Otherwise what's the point?" Yi Ka : "What's the point indeed. Now, m'lady, we can indeed go in, but you need to behave yourself." Elise: "But Elise is a good girl!" Sahara: "Yeah, like the last time we went inside the Winking Skever....I think they still haven't managed to dig that guy's remains out of the wall after that one brawl." Elise: "But....that wasn't me...he sort of ran into my foot..." Mi Ya: "No brawls today, Elise." Elise: "...aww..." Sitala : "Bartender, seven cups of your best pina coladas, hold the juice and rum, snappy like." Yi Ka : "please." Bartender: ".....you mean....you want seven cups of cream?" Sitala: "Yes. Too many fingers for you to count? Me and my dagger can help with that." Bandit: "Milk drinkers? Hey, fellas, we got ourselves milk drinkers!" Elise: "Yup. What? Do you people not drink milk?" Bandit: "We're pretty enough as is. But you ladies, by Dibella, all that milk sure does wonders." Mi Ya: ".....are they...hitting on us?" Sitala: "Hitting on elins....don't get out much, do they?" Elise: "Does that mean I can hit them?" Mi Ya: "No." Sitala: "Not yet." Bandit: "Why don't you let me and the boys take a peek under those frocks?" Sitala: "Now you can." Elise: "Bartender, we're renovating your tavern a bit. You may want to put up the closed sign outside." Bartender: "Renovate? Now, wait just a sec, you can't...." Elise: "Can't what?" Elise: "Wheee! Bar Brawl!" Bandits: "Whoaaaah!" Sahara: "Hey, who put this atronach in my way?! I'm trying to impale somebody here!" Yi Ka: "Dear sister, step back, I will revive this corpse." Mi Ya: "Move over, Yi Ka! I killed it, it's mine to revive! Go get your own!" Elise: "Hey, that lightning bolt almost singed my ears!" Sitala: "Tch, I missed..." Alassea: "...umm....what do I do?" Serana: "I dunno....watch? Play a nice battle tune? Dodge that flying corpse?" Alassea: "What corps-...oh that one." Elise: "Bartender, we're done renovating your bar." Bartender: "U-uh....o-okay...t-thank you." Elise: "With all these bandits around the land prices around here must be pretty low." Bartender: "Y-yes, a-as you say." Elise: "I've been thinking of buying a bar. What do you think the value of this bar might be, Mi Ya?" Mi Ya: "If I have to be generous this once, maybe 100 gold." Elise: "100 gold. There. Mine." Bartender: "Y-yes, m-m'lady." Sahara: "We're done collecting all the bodies, Captain! Can I be the one to set them on fire? Please?" Elise: "1....2....3....why only 5?" Sitala: "Yi Ka and Mi Ya fighting over corpses to revive kind of reduced half of them to ash. Your shouting disintegrated another quarter. Sahara burned a good few to a crisp. And we can't really get a few out of the chandelier and the walls." Elise: "...aww. Oh well, which one should I loot first? Eenie Meenie Elinu Moe~"
