NPC Body Scale Randomizer

himinbjoerg · July 29, 2015

Thanks Madpaddy. I'm working on a final feature which I felt was missing. If everything works out as expected, the mod will provide the possibility to randomize the body scales according to the NPC's race. But this will take several more days until finished (unless I hit a really nasty obstacle, maybe I'll drop the idea then).

Second and probably last enhacement: the heights of NPCs can now be randomized depending on the NPC's race and gender (restricted to the ten classical races of Skyrim; children, old people, vampires and so on use the default values). The easiest way (with respect to the Papyrus code) was to set up a default height range (as it was done in the versions before) and provide the possibility for each race and gender to set up a deviation from this upper and lower limit of the height range. I did not implement a check whether the chosen deviations are sensible or not, so it is possible to create negative limits or an lower limit which is bigger than the upper limit. So use your brains if you change any settings (all deviations default to zero). An unexpected positive experience was that, for once, Skyrim seems to be tolerant of strange settings created by unwisely chosen deviations and does not crash (at least not with the deliberately weird chosen settings I tested).

As a consequence of this enhacement, I also did a complete overhaul of the mod's MCM. Settings done in older versions stay untouched, only the layout has been changed and three pages have been added.

A problem which occured with an active height randomization was that other height modifications were temporarliy overriden, e.g. those introduced by a SexLab animation (if the appropriate option is set in SexLab). As a consequence I added a condition checking whether a SexLab animation is playing. All NPCs involved are not handled by the height setting script while the animation is playing. This, however, means that the SexLab Framework is now a requirement for this mod (as I use a function and variables of it).

NPC Body Scale Randomizer Bugfix 2015-08-02.7z

jdods13 · August 6, 2015

Looks like RaceMenu is going to have a feature that uses bodyslide morphs instead of skeleton Node scaling. This will remove the issues with neck gaps and will keep all armors that were created using a custom bodyslide configuration and body in sync PLUS the multitude of morphs that will randomly be set on each female NPC. Please look at the link if you have not seen this already.

Amazing stuff: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/29624/?tab=4&&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fcomments%2F%3Fmod_id%3D29624%26page%3D1%26sort%3DDESC%26pid%3D0%26thread_id%3D879577&pUp=1

BodyGen Feature
BodyGen is a new feature that will be available after SKSE 1.7.3 that allows for guided ini files to apply random BodyMorph values onto any NPC specified in the files on a per-instance basis, spawning two of the same NPC will have different morphs. These files contain custom syntax to specify value ranges of morphs and can pick random subsets of morphs. More about this feature will be explained when the SKSE version required for this feature is released. It is safe to remain using 1.7.2.

himinbjoerg · August 7, 2015

Sounds really promising, no I wasn't aware of this upcoming feature. So let's wait and see... (the neck gap issue is indeed annoying right now).

jdods13 · August 9, 2015

I've been trying to figure this out... but apparently the featuer is already available. perhaps we can work on getting this to function together? So far expired has said the following:

The feature is released. You don't have any of these file locations because you have to make them. Your understanding is correct, the templates define the settings, and the morphs define the actors using the settings. The file location and files you have to make yourself, they become bound to a mod, where %PLUGIN% is the name of the plugin you are binding the settings to, e.g.

This is just an example, please don't put your settings here, make your own mod for that:
meshes\actors\character\BodyGenData\RaceMenu.esp\templates.ini
meshes\actors\character\BodyGenData\RaceMenu.esp\morphs.ini

That being stated I went ahead and attempted to set this up in my game build

BodyGen is a BodyMorph randomization engine for creating NPCs with random morphs, they are outlined by template files and morph files

file location: meshes\actors\character\BodyGenData\%PLUGIN%\templates.ini

example contents:

Sevenbase=7B High@1.0 | 7B Bombshell High@1.0 | 7B Natural High@1.0 | 7B Cleavage High@1.0 | 7B Bcup High@1.0 Breasts=BreastSH@1.0 | BreastSSH@2.0, Breast@1.0, BreastCleavage@0.1:1.0, BreastGravity@0.1:1.0 Waist=Waist@-1.0:1.0 | ChubbyWaist@-1.0:1.0 | WideWaistLine@-1.0:1.0 Random=Breasts@-1.0, BreastsSmall@-1.0, BreastsSH@0:1.0, BreastSSH@0:1.0, BreastsFantasy@1.0, BigTorso@-1.0, Waist@-1.0:1.0, ChubbyWaist@-1.0:1.0, RoundAss@-1.0:1.0, SlimThighs@-1.0:1.0, Thighs@1.0, PregnancyBelly@0:1.0, NippleDistance@-1.0:0.0, Arms@-1.0:0.0, NippleSize@-1.0:0.0, ButtCrack@-1.0:0.0, Butt@-1.0:0.0, ButtShape2@-1.0:0.0, Legs@-1.0,0.0

file location: meshes\actors\character\BodyGenData\%PLUGIN%\morphs.ini

example contents: Skyrim.esm|F62F0=Sevenbase,Random,Waist,Breasts

Right now you must specify each ActorBase in the morphs.ini file but this could easily be generated via a TES5Edit script. The templating allows you to outline particular morphs, or sets of morphs.

Syntax: @ - Separates Morph and Values : - Separates Value range , Separates AND morphs | Separates OR morphs (The OR operation will only take one of the morphs within the current comma)

If a morph value is evaluated more than once it will take the last one evaluated. This would essentially increase the probability of that morph being evaluated.

If an Actor is derived from a template, or is a LeveledActorBase it will evaluate from the root template's parameters.

As I'm understanding it, the templates define the body settings, and the morph files state which actors use which settings

Following this I have created the file paths and used the RaceMenuMorphsCBBE.esp to store my morph parameters... I think. To be honest I have no idea how to link the .esp with the .ini files... i'm just lost on that so maybe we can figure this out together. Here is what I have set up:

I have my templates.ini, morphs.ini in this directory: A:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Skyrim\Mod Organizer\mods\BodySlide 2 and Outfit Studio\meshes\actors\character\BodyGenData\RaceMenuMorphsCBBE.esp\

My templates.ini looks like this:

Breasts=BreastsSH@0.0:2.0, BreastsSSH@0.0:2.0, Breasts@0.0:-2.0, BreastCleavage@-2.0:2.0, BreastGravity@-2.0:2.0, BreastFlatness@-2.0:2.0, BreastHeight@-2.0:2.0, BreastPerkiness@-2.0:2.0, BreastsFantasy@-2.0:2.0, BreastsSmall@0.0:-2.0, BreastWidth@-2.0:2.0, DoubleMelon@-2.0:2.0, PushUp@-2.0:2.0

Nipples=NippleAreola@-2.0:2.0, NippleDistance@-2.0:2.0, NippleDown@-2.0:2.0, NippleLength@-2.0:2.0, NipplePerkiness@-2.0:2.0, NippleSize@-2.0:2.0, NippleTip@-2.0:2.0, NippleUp@-2.0:2.0

Butt=AppleCheeks@-2.0:2.0, BigButt@-2.0:2.0, Butt@-2.0:2.0, ButtCrack@-2.0:2.0, ButtShape2@-2.0:2.0, ButtSmall@-2.0:2.0, ChubbyButt@-2.0:2.0, RoundAss@-2.0:2.0

Torso=Back@-2.0:2.0, Belly@-2.0:2.0, Bigbelly@-2.0:2.0, BigTorso@-2.0:2.0, ChubbyWaist@-2.0:2.0, Hipbone@-2.0:2.0, Hips@-2.0:2.0, TummyTuck@-2.0:2.0, Waist@-2.0:2.0, WideWaistLine@-2.0:2.0

Legs=Ankles@-2.0:2.0, CalfSize@-2.0:2.0, CalfSmooth@-2.0:2.0, ChubbyLegs@-2.0:2.0, KneeHeight@-2.0:2.0, Legs@-2.0:2.0, SlimThighs@-2.0:2.0, Thighs@-2.0:2.0

Arms=Arms@-2.0:2.0, ChubbyArms@-2.0:2.0, ShoulderSmooth@-2.0:2.0, ShoulderTweak@-2.0:2.0, ShoulderWidth@-2.0:2.0

I think I have this correct... but maybe you guys will understand someting that I do not.

My morphs.ini file is :

Skyrim.esm|*FormIDs for actors I want to edit???*=Breasts, Nipples, Butt, Torso, Legs, Arms

I don't know what i'm missing because I grabbed Aela the Huntresses Form ID and dropped it into the morphs.ini file for testing. COC whiterun myself and run up to her and I see no changes on her body... I feel like I am close nd with a little help can get this working but RaceMenu's mod author expired is being of very little assistance... If I can get it to work then I can help others to take advantage of this feature...

Sorry for typing a book

Thoughts?

himinbjoerg · August 11, 2015

According to Expired's example given and what you tried, and what I tried myself, it should work. Yet neither do. I'll have another look at it sometime, but right now I don't see any obvious mistake in the layout of the two files. And as long as it is completely unclear at which point the randomization via BodyGen fails (reading in the files, failing to do so, applying the values, etc.) it's a very tedious work. Word of advice though, your example given above looks like you try to do all at once. Better start with the most simple randomization possible, one trait for which a randomization is clearly visible. If this works, you can go on to a more complex set-up.

Yes you are absoultely correct. Currently I have too much going on in the templates.ini. I will take your adivce. Honestly cannot wait for Expired to release more in depth information on this (if he/she ever does) but until then I might just leave it alone for a while. I figured that if I try the randomization on only a single actor that this would not be too much trouble for the game. However when I summon Aela to the testing hall she is not morphed in any way and simply has my BodySlide preset working on her.

We will get this to work eventually.

jdods13 · August 12, 2015

It seems to be working. I am very excited about this but to be honest I have no idea what I did differently... Just suddenly noticed the morphs on Aela. After that I added Njada Stone Arm's ID to the Morphs.ini to test and she went from having bee stings to a K cup. I'm not sure why this is suddenly working. I have added Ria, Aela and Njada with noticable changes... It is incredible how unique and different they look from each other now. I went to town and added a few more woman just to test. Hulda, Sadia, Carlotta, Arcadia and Ysolda. I exited Jorvaskir to see if there was any affect on them but to my surprise nothing had changed on them... hmmmm... Ria, Aela and Njada definitely morphed... so I wonder if it just takes time for the morphs to load on an actor? Anyway i'll post screen shots and my settings when my wife finally gets off my gaming computer.

Using morphs to make NPCs diverse is clearly the way to go. No neck seems or strange skeleton oddities. Just gotta test the feature out more.

Since I used mod organizer this might be a little different for those that do not.

I created a templates.ini and morphs.ini file under this root:

A:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Skyrim\Mod Organizer\mods\RaceMenu\meshes\actors\character\BodyGenData\RaceMenuMorphsCBBE.esp\

The RaceMenuMorphsCBBE.esp is the .esp that I am storing the settings to. Have no idea how this is set up to work by expired but this is per their instruction.

Morphs.ini = Skyrim.esm|1A696, 1A6D9, 1A6D7, 1325C, 132687, 135E6, 135E5, 1336B, 1336A, 13366, 13365, 1335F, 1327A, 13282, 13283, 1328C, 13290, 13297, 1329F, 132A1, 1337C, 13382, 1367A, 13B6D, 13B9C, 13B9B, 13B99, 13BA2, 13BA3, 13BA4, 13BA5, 13BAB, 13BAE, 13BB0, 13BB3, 13BB6, 13BB8, 13BB9, 13BBE, 13BC0, 1A2CF, 1BDB4, 1BDB8=Breasts, Nipples, Butt, Torso, Legs, Arms

You enter the ID for the actor that you want to be affected by the templates.ini settings = to what morphs you want to modify said actor.

Templates.ini = Breasts=BreastsSH@0.0:1.0, BreastsSSH@0.0:1.0, Breasts@0.0:-1.0, BreastCleavage@-1.0:1.0, BreastGravity@-1.0:1.0, BreastFlatness@-1.0:1.0, BreastHeight@-1.0:1.0, BreastPerkiness@-1.0:1.0, BreastsFantasy@-1.0:1.0, BreastsSmall@0.0:-1.0, BreastWidth@-1.0:1.0, DoubleMelon@-1.0:1.0, PushUp@-1.0:1.0

Nipples=NippleAreola@-1.0:1.0, NippleDistance@-1.0:1.0, NippleDown@-1.0:1.0, NippleLength@-1.0:1.0, NipplePerkiness@-1.0:1.0, NippleSize@-1.0:1.0, NippleTip@-1.0:1.0, NippleUp@-1.0:1.0

Butt=AppleCheeks@-1.0:1.0, BigButt@-1.0:1.0, Butt@-1.0:1.0, ButtCrack@-1.0:1.0, ButtShape2@-1.0:1.0, ButtSmall@-1.0:1.0, ChubbyButt@-1.0:1.0, RoundAss@-1.0:1.0

Torso=Back@-1.0:1.0, Belly@-1.0:1.0, Bigbelly@-1.0:1.0, BigTorso@-1.0:1.0, ChubbyWaist@-1.0:1.0, Hipbone@-1.0:1.0, Hips@-1.0:1.0, TummyTuck@-1.0:1.0, Waist@-1.0:1.0, WideWaistLine@-1.0:1.0

Legs=Ankles@-1.0:1.0, CalfSize@-1.0:1.0, CalfSmooth@-1.0:1.0, ChubbyLegs@-1.0:1.0, KneeHeight@-1.0:1.0, Legs@-1.0:1.0, SlimThighs@-1.0:1.0, Thighs@-1.0:1.0

Arms=Arms@-1.0:1.0, ChubbyArms@-1.0:1.0, ShoulderSmooth@-1.0:1.0, ShoulderTweak@-1.0:1.0, ShoulderWidth@-1.0:1.0

In templates.ini to specify the morphs and the range that you want the randomization process to work in. I seperated the morph names out so it's easier to see but my .ini file is not set up like this. I'm not sure if that matters.

I went back to this setup after trying only a few specific morphs in the Templates.ini. I recommend testing this with a new game as I did not see any changes to NPCs until I started a new game... not sure if it matters but thats what worked for me.

note: you must have CBBE or UUNP bodyslide morphs working within the in game race menu. Let me know if anyone needs help setting that up.

Madpaddy · August 12, 2015

Sounds great guys, one small bug ive found when i have the random height option on in the mcm if i walk near a dead body that has a bow the bow starts to fly around then return to the body and fly off again, only does it on dead bodies and only with the random height option.

Ps thank you for the race specific option its perfect .

The RaceMenuMorphsCBBE.esp is the .esp that I am storing the settings to. Have no idea how this is set up to work by expired but this is per their instruction.

I guess that's basically only a string used to keep the settings separated (if one has several mods installed using BodyGen). You probably don't need to create an additional mod for this but could attach those two files to an existing one.

Two comments:

I did not have BodySlide installed until now (and thus not the skse morph plugins), might very well be one cause for the non-functionality.
Starting a new game might be a good lead. After quickly setting up BodySlide, I saw that not all NPCs get the new body (though most do). So maybe something gets stored somewhere which prevents BodyGen to kick in or conflicts with it. Will check on this when I have more time.

EDIT:

As Expired pointed out correctly that height randomization doesn't work using BodySlide (and that was my single setting in my morphs.ini), nothing happend in my test yesterday. Changing the contents of templates.ini and morphs.ini to randomize breasts and belly succeeded, at least for newly created NPCs (like the Riften Guards) already created NPCs do not get morphed.

It works as described in jdods13's post above. Flexibility is much higher in comparison to the NPC Body Scale Randomizer, so better use BodyGen instead (should also decrease the size of the skse co-save). Now all we need is an easy way to get all the BaseIDs listed, which are unique for every mod installation and even depends on the load order (at least if Expired used the whole BaseID string, which is very likely).

EDIT 2:

Suprisingly, my last assumption proved to be wrong. Spawning 20 Sofias, they were all randomized. So Expired dropped the mod index when evaluating the BaseID (that's why you have to provide the mod's name), this makes things a bit easier.

luffyboy · August 13, 2015

Omg this is amazing.

If you are trying to find a way of getting all the base id for vanilla + dlc npcs, please check out sexlife at the sexlab download section.

There is actually a preset file that the mod uses to assign character personality traits to each unique npc trait which was manually assigned and compiled by the loverslab community. You can find the files in the mod. If you ask dooge the creator of sexlife how he does the automated reading of the Ids im sure he would be more than willing to share them with you.

The cool thing about his method is that base id and mod order is detected so if someone ever collects base Ids for npcs from other mods they can also be simply added into the preset file

himinbjoerg · August 13, 2015

I'm working on a TES5 script right now. It's purpose will be to export all NPCs of a certain mod and assign user defined randomization strings (depending on sex and race of the NPC) to the respective NPCs. The output will be written into a file. I already have the basic layout and functionality set-up, the rest should work analogously but requires some time and testing. If nothing unforseen happens, the script should be ready for release tomorrow or the day after.

I noticed that Njada Stonearm was not morphed until after I had re-loaded my game. From what I can tell is that it doesn't morph the actor right away.

I found a mod that prints out the formIDs for EVERY actor including monsters and males which is not what we want. We need a script that Locates actors with the Female flag only and prints only the formID with no actor names to a .txt document.

This is the ofrmat for what is printed: AelaTheHuntress "Aela the Huntress" [NPC_:0001A696] which makes it difficult to simply copy and paste the ID into your morphs.ini 0001A696

We need the format to be like this: 0001A696 for all female NPC_actors and Female Leveled NPC_actors

Here is the script that does the formID export with link: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52922/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D52922%26preview%3D&pUp=1
