Incandescence Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Okay I've did something obviously wrong here. For the record I re-installed my Monli file so I could have the original files' date=' but. It seems that my Monli esp is pointing towards the regular female files (which has gloss) and is applying them to my monli, but it's only doing this for the head and not the body. I've tried using the fix mention before by replacing the _s files with the other ones, but I kept getting noticeable different levels of gloss being applied. And I'm a bit OCD so...bah I'll try more ways, but it seems my esp is messed up. I'll probably just a new copy of the Monli files then. Edit Well I found a nasty seam issue that doesn't wanna go away I guess I"ll have to use another texture for females instead so I can get the problem fixed. Edit dos I give up I simply cannot get the neck seams to fix and they're really noticeable..So the esp somehow (even with the old version) points to the female folder, and I can't fix that dang seam.. Oh well back to adult chars. Unless there's a way for me to "repoint" the locations of the files the esp uses. [/quote'] Seams are due to the different edges of the flat texture picture file not matching up. The neck and body files are separate so matching them up can be tough, there's an app called texture blender by caliente, available on skyrim nexus, that will do it for you. For the monoli race, which uses custom textures, to use this program you have to fiddle a bit since it's designed to do things automatically. Once you've setup texture blender, using the instructions, you'll know where the texture folder is for your normal files for the vanilla races, backup the files in there and then overwrite with your monoli files, now use texture blender, now place the monoli files back and replace the backup's. Now no seams

The problem is that my esp somehow gets information from the regular female head and not the one from the Monli folder. I think I fixed it finally...I uninstalled Monli and ran CCleaner and cleaned up all my temp and cache and it somehow worked? idk if the results will stay this way, but for now it seemed to work. It still links to my other female folder so no help there

loverslab987 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Actually, I've got the exact same problem as LaEspada. The specular map for the Monli head is somehow still pointing to the regular Skyrim femalehead_s.dds. I even checked the Monli.esp to find the cause, but as Kashim said, I think the filepath is correctly set there. I've been too lazy to solve or analyze the problem, but you're not alone, LaEspada. Then again I'm also one of the few persons, who also have the problem with the 1st person view not staying low after restarting (closing) the game and reloading a Monli save. The camera always reverts back to normal height until I use showracemenu or the "setscale" command also works, I think. Therefore I'm using a 1st person mesh with a lowered default FOV for every race.
Xgriel Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Love the mod! I was just wondering if there was a way to get this to work with the Futanarium mod, though? http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=10791
Yeshyz Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Hi man , first i wanted to say that you made a spectacular work , the mod is very nice , i installed it and i cant play without it anymore. I just wanted you to tell me what is the mod for the kneesocks/shoes/chest u have on your signature pic. Thanks a lot!!
Incandescence Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 The mod I was on about making, inspired by the fact your monoli mod has it's own folder for mesh/texture/etc. has already been made! Now I don't have to attempt to learn to use CK until another crazy idea hits me http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=16964 I feel like this post has been irrelevant to this thread, for that I apologize and put up some screen pics! my monoli character and the sleeping tree sanctuary! posed with pinup poser and my pinup poser guide

If its a body replacer - just drop the files in Monli directory instead of vanilla one.

coranswift Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 I am just wondering if its possible to make the children of skyrim in to this custom race cuz that wold be awesome =)
Xgriel Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 The problem was the script for the mod not recognising the race, but i managed to work around it. There has been one thing i've been wondering, is there a way to keep the head of THIS mod, and place it on to a UNP body? there's a lot of great UNP clothing mods out there, but i really want to keep the beautiful face of this mod D:

Might want to check out the monoli skeleton also: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=11064&navtag=file/images.php?id=11064&tab=3 there's a specific monoli D/L. The only problem with meshing a CBBE head and a UNP body is that the neck might not connect properly, TBH I haven't tried it, CBBE all the way for me! But if that's the case you'd have to find a custom head mesh that fits or adapt the head mesh yourself, which I have NO IDEA HOW TO DO! LOL! >.< Blender maybe? ~Good luck! Edit: Just looked at th .rar for the monoli skeleton, it goes to the normal skeleton filepath O_o So you should manually put it in the monoli folder Edit again: I don't like it >.< *quickly reverts skeleton to original monoil skeleton*

They look really nice, and I'm no modder so The colors of the body and leggings would fit the character I'm making so well (going to use the loli race as well) ^^

D: Im not a modder :\ ¤ http://www.mediafire.com/?xx93tlxci16zap7 But you dont need this texture folder as long as you are ok with the colour. Since game uses the default path from Skyrims .bsa archive.

Yeshyz Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Yes i would love that you upload your custom retexture it looks so pretty , anyway thanks for your job man it's very nice.
imortalsaga Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 hey I'm getting a crash everytime I'm in character creation mabie you can help me out. I've composed a list of all my mods but its in a screen shot (took a series of screenies with nexus mod mannager and pasted them all together.) and i don't speak forum so if you can tell me how I'll upload it and throw it your way. who knows it may not be with your mod but i have had this same layout on an install a few clean runs ago and it was running with no crashes. Most of the items listed are armors. nvm i think this should add it. but still a fix on the problem would help.

ExInsomnia Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Like others, I too am having issues creating a Monli. Upon selecting and waiting for it to load at character creation, it just CTDs. EDIT: I tried it with a freshly installed skyrim on another computer. If it matters, it's the cracked version of the game, not the steam download one.
