HDT Tongues?

[Marckzmanz]

I don't normally post in here, so I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong place.
 
I was wanting to give back to this community for creating all these awesome mods. So I started small, with the idea of a moving tongue to enhance the Ahegao affect. I know next to nothing about modding, so I hope to get some help from someone more experienced. 
 
My thinking is

1. I need to add bones to the existing Tongue mod (I think fafcf09 made the original mod) Found on mortenhoward's post here.
2. Correct the texture stuffs, bones, and other stuff I probably don't know, in nifskope.
3. Then create an HDT xml file and link up through nifskope.

 
Again I don't really know what I am doing, I have tried looking at many examples and tutorials which only got me this far:

I created bones in 3dsmax and somehow got them attached to the mesh, and it bends properly.
I think I need to link the bones I created to the head bones, not sure.
But I saved as a Nif file and tried using nifskope to fix BSLightingShaderProperty by replacing it with the original.
Now the tongue will not appear in my game, the tongues that are not modified appear normally but my edited one does not appear at all. I'm certain the textures are linked properly. I was thinking the bones needed to be linked to the skeleton or head bones or something similar. 
 

I have attached the original file and the edited one.
 
Also I am not familiar on how editing other people's mods, giving credit, asking permission and such.
I would appreciate any help and will try to respond and update as fast as I can.

Link your bone chain to an existing skeleton bone.

 

Export the entire thing with Flatten Hierarchy checked off.

Thanks for the quick response, I figured I needed to do something with the skeleton.

I will try to link the bones tonight.

Are you sure you want to add HDT PE to tongues?I mean, imagine it first, the tongue hanging out of an open mouth and moving from left to right and up/down depending on the heas movement.I don't think tongues behave like this, even in hentai ahegao.I believe that what should be done is to have animated tongues(enter-exit mouth in erotic fashion,bend upwars/downwards,licking the lips from left to right,upper/lower lips etc).Don't know if its possible by using existing xpmse or by adding seperate bones to the tongue because i have the slightest idea of modding in general by imo hdt in tongues will give a corpse or snake effect to the character!

I could understand what you mean; animated tongues could be useful during specific scenes like blowjob, but when your character is being fucked silly you'd want a tongue that would react in real time with the movement. Eyes up, tongue out like a dog I guess.

 

Besides having to make the tongue animations for every single [sex] scene would be much less efficient then a physics based tongue.

 

Thinking again, I'd imagine the tongue would in a way have the exact movement with the breast. But it'll be irrelevant with cleverly placed bone nodes and tweaked hdt.xml.

That idea would be cool for animals in game such, dogs, tigers and others

I have not thought all that far ahead on what I imagine the overall look would be. I just wanted to practice some modding, and figured I would start small.

I have not had much progress on it yet, but I was able link the bones although I messed up a few things in the process and so now I am working on fixing them.
