SlaveTats

[CataclysmRising]

First off: I love the work you've done. These have always been extremely hot IMO and really improve the game for me.

 

Second: Would you mind not removing the earlier versions from the changelog when you update it? I'm updating from 1.0 and I don't know what happened in 1.1 or 1.2 if they existed.

 

Lastly: Consider linking to some pictures to show examples of each pack. Maybe even find somewhere to upload each tatoo so we can figure out what's what easier than adding and removing each one at a time in game.

 

Thanks a ton!

That's great, I love this mod. Can I translate your mod to Chinese and share it to the other bbs (bbs.skyrimcitizen.net) ?

 

You can translate it, but I'll host the translated version here. SlaveTats is a Lovers Lab exclusive.

I'm glad you like it

I'm not doing anything to the changelog, except adding entries. I just looked, though, and you're right. There's no entry for anything except the most recent version. That's not very helpful.

 

For your reference, 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 did exist. They fixed an assortment of smallish bugs, and added some features for modders. There were no end-user features added.

 

Lastly: Consider linking to some pictures to show examples of each pack. Maybe even find somewhere to upload each tatoo so we can figure out what's what easier than adding and removing each one at a time in game.

Yeah, I need a good gallery, one that can link images to specific packs. The LL image capability won't do that.

Will this work if I use Enhanced Character Edit? Or if I used both Racemenu 2 and ECE? The SlaveTat option greys out for me when I try to use it

 

It should work eith ECE if you have NetImmerse Override installed. I don't use that combination myself, but others do.

 

 

Ive heard of that but never used it before, I dont actually know what it does but I'll go check it out, thanks.

*Edit, just looked at the description, it looks like it would let me use overlays without needing RaceMenuV2, if I can use tattoos with Enhanced Character Edit then you sir, have made me very happy.

OK, this is my translated version and tattoo pack.

Ok, I just downloaded NetImmerse Override, I guess I'm too dumb to figure out what to do with it

Please don't forget to thank Desufire for his great work and allowing me to redistribute this as Slavetats packages.

[abecedee]

I installed everything this mod asked for, and in the MCM menu every option for slave tats is greyed out, can't select anything. Or do you choose the tattos via overlay from showracemenu?

I already have other tatto mods in use and on the body could that be a problem?

Thanks

A very big thank you for the effort you put into this, RustyXXL.

They're greyed out because your other tattoos are occupying all of the overlay slots that SlaveTats would use. You can still apply tattoos to NPCs, though, or use showracemenu to free up some slots on your character.

In the original mod author page on nexus it says you can not use it on NPCs ...

how is  this repack different ?  I mean if you use this through showracemenu how do you target NPC's ?

You don't use this through showracemenu. You use it through SlaveTats, and SlaveTats has no problem applying tattoos to NPCs.

Racemenu doesn't allow you to put Tattoos on NPCs, while SlaveTats does. That's why you can't do it with the original RaceMenu Plugin, but you can with my repack

Ok  give me the stupid simple drections to use it    like point at npc and then what ?

 

[murfk]

1. Stand near an NPC
2. Open Slave Tats
3. On the setup tab, select the NPC
4. Use the other tabs to pick the tattoos

Ok downloading it   and trying it

what was that url again for your compression scheme for dds files ??  ( i am forced to make dds 4098 * 4098 comes to 8 mb in size with dx1 compression )  I want to try yours!

 

Edit :

HOLY CRABS!     this stuff is 22mb each!!!!!!!  

[murfk]

I use mogrify from ImageMagick to compress my textures, using its default settings. Because, yeah, uncompressed DDS files are ginormous.

 

Also, I use 1024x1024 textures, because seriously, 20 megs per word is just stupid.

 

Edit: I use 2048x2048 for a few of the tattoos that are in highly distorting sections of the UV map.

Would you like to give me a sentence in Chinese (UTF-8 encoded) that I can use to point Chinese speakers to the proper file?

 

[NYINEGY]

Well   I used 1024 till I got this stuff and so far none of it will co operate!!!! 
forced to do 4098 & 4098 ...   but at least i am still at 8mb ..
as far as  The Coenaculi for Slavetats   i see what he did and it is amazing and i luv the graphics ...  but at a few gigs per each pack it is unusable ...
good news i can reduce it to 1/3   of the size ( apply dx1)    and upload it but that it still  too much but at least it will be usable!
I ll try your program to reduce that 8 mb  size !  anf i guess if not i ll have to some research ( EEEEKH)!

I'm using the original dds files as included in the original mod. I won't mess with them.

There are however more than enough programs that do offer compressing etc even of whole folders + subfolders. The Quality may suffer from compression, though.

applying compression does not affect quality .. reducing image dimensions does!

as long as we find a compression that skyrim engine is happy with that is !!!

if you know a program that does mass comression for dds files ( especially dx1) please share because i was going to do each of your files individually using gimp!

 

[murfk]

DXT5 (mogrify's default for DDS) is a lossy compression. It doesn't compress nearly as much (or lose as much information) as jpeg, but it's not perfect. On the other hand, it does significantly help with the file size, and even the in-memory size on most graphics cards.

 

Edit: mogrify will mass-compress files.

They're greyed out because your other tattoos are occupying all of the overlay slots that SlaveTats would use. You can still apply tattoos to NPCs, though, or use showracemenu to free up some slots on your character.

 

I cleared to default every body overlay slot, with all of them having color black. To apply tats on my charachter slave_tats is still greyed out ...

Please send me a Papyrus log that covers you opening the SlaveTats menu and selecting your character.

Yes, applying compression can (but doesn't have to) affect quality. Look at the jpg vs png (example source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Network_Graphics) format for an extreme example. But even dxt can introduce compression artifacts.

And still the format is the Artists decision and nothing I will mess with for a release.

For my personal use I (have to) use Optimizer Textures to compress and downscale my whole Mod collection to 2048x max, as otherwise my Video System gets overloaded.

 

Edit: Damn, I'm to slow...always getting Ninja'd here xD
