Well, good news is I got MSI to bend over and just ship me a copy of win8.1 pro Once that is here, hopefully all systems will be fullspeed ahead and can get back into me weekend R&D!

Turns out a good'ol fashioned yelling session still can get you decent customer service (unfortunately... now I'm horse and on the verg of an angered anxiety attack XD)

Ahhh the power of Whinge works yet again! hoorah! Hope to have it all back together soon, mind you if you dont it gives me more time to work on other things

Lol though it may be some time before I'm back up to speed. I did retain some of the files but they were my 'beta' builds from Gdocs. So I kinda have to start over but I at least have a little muscle memory from the first go to run off

Bugger. :/

Oh well, it will be even better this time around I guess since now you have a better idea of what to do

Do you stil atleast have the mesh files or did you want me to search a bit harder for them? I *may* still have the non-rigged meshes with UV mapping.

Only if it's no stress to you. I should be able to spring up something quickly with ease this time around, ESPECIALLY now that I know how I screwed up with the size differences lol

I can at least say I'm no longer a n00b in that stage anylonger!

PM'd you the dropbox link with the last version I have which is just the combined non-rigged mesh and textures.

Got it Kitty! Thanks!

And nooooow!

Good news is; PC is back up and running, all systems full steam ahead and can try to get back to my weekend..ly? builds I'll just call it Weekend R&D

Bad news; I may have to start over, however, Kitty did manage to recover most recent files, just not the animated versions (I suppose this is semi good too and not all bad to the lot of you )

Bottomline; I've got some muscle memory of this now so I'll try to run through it during this week to get back to where I left off by the weekend.

As far as updates go, as brought to my attention by Tokoshoran, I'm still pondering a media solution within the media products I'm already apart of. I'm going to say it now, I'm not going to make a photobucket etc etc account strictly for this project. I'll figure out an easy solution with dates-n-stuff, until then, major updates will continue to be posted here as I post them. I'll make them easy to spot with big, bold, orange font as I've done in the past.

Good to hear its all working again. onwards and upwards! (bad 'dad' joke there)

So I was wondering are you going to release this when its finished or are you going to wait until kitty gets the new version of lykaios ready?

With all the setbacks we have been having I think the Lykaios race might be done first if I can get everything I want working in game (its not a race....), either way which ever one is ready to go will be released with or without the other mod since they are independent (sort of)

Prancing Doe · May 6, 2015

Any chance of screenshots of what male and female look like thus far as teasers? Also are helmets for them also going to be released at same time? If not, might want to talk to creator of http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/15927/?to see if he/she will let you use the assets to fit them to Lykaios since it already has assets designed for khajiit that might save time and effort.

ppp · May 6, 2015

I know this is more work, but any chance of glowing eye options? Failing that, a glow map so I can make my own?

I'm having to edit them all myself since the head is drastically longer than a Khajiit, and argonians are the right length, but wrong shape. So as it is you WILL get clipping even with that mods meshes. So i need to edit both genders to fit the lykaios head and then make tri files for them if needed.

My biggest issue is having to create a totally new armor race class for Lykaios so that the meshes don't interfere with Khajiit armors. it is a MASSIVE task, so will not be included with the race just yet as its probably months of work in CK alone cloning and editing all the right armor add-ons and things .

I'm not sure how it will work with custom armor, and if it will show up on the lykaios race if I use a custom armor race.

Need to test it all out first to see if I can get it working nicely with no conflicts before I can guarantee anything though.

I know this is more work, but any chance of glowing eye options? Failing that, a glow map so I can make my own?

Yeah I can do that, but it will mean adding another 60+ eyes in the CK for every colour I have. Will see how many I get through before my brain melts.

I have some experience with this sort of thing... I probably could help.

Oh it's not hard, just tedious. I already made a few to test it out so will add them all in when I have time. Thanks for the offer though!

ppp · May 7, 2015

Why 60+ for every color? Or do you mean it comes out to 60+ if you add one for each color?

I knew it would be more work, but I had no idea of the scale of the request. Given everything else, though, I should have guessed.

Yeah, I probably didn't word that quite right:

I have over 30 colours for each gender, so x 2 means around 60 or so and that is if I dont get creative and make any more.

I might simplify and cut back to maybe 10 or so (get rid of the in between or shades of colours)

Can't wait for the update! I have a question though; will there by marking options that look similar to a Tanuki (Japanese Raccoondog)? I tried making my own for the old Lykaios but they just come out too cartoony.
The Lykaios with SOS make a great combination for a Tanuki character since you can give them large testicles, my texturing skills are just really bad!

Yes! I've already got some tint masks made which can achieve a racoon dog look. I've tried to make the tint masks as versatile as possible and have managed to get quite a few different animal species looks just from the one tint mask set.

I've also got body overlays to match as an optional Racemenu pack. (*i think* there was a post about which species were going to be covered in the overlay pack earlier on in this thread, maybe near page 14 or so)

Awesome! That sounds great, I'm following you on Tumblr now so I can keep updated! Thanks for making this mod you two!

Alonwoof · May 10, 2015

Oh man this is exciting. I can't wait to turn my wolf follower Fenrir into a full anthro wolfboy.
Hell, maybe I'll make a script to make him change between the two forms...
Either way he'll still be naked letting everyone see his goods though. :heart:
Good work so far, guys. Really, REALLY looking forward to this.
