Kenshi

[Goint to the Sun]

Why are there so many animated mods for this game, but there is not a single cosmetic mod for gags, bandages and other face masks. Someone, please, make one. I would appreciate it.

I was  hoping to get some help on something, To give a bit of background, I like to use the Cleo body model, so I took it upon myself to modify all the armors in the game to "fit" the Cleo body (missing a few but its only a few). My issue is with the body sliders the author of Cleo has, through much experimentation I worked out how to give the body the base skeleton so I can work on it if I wish. My issue is all the sliders seem to work fine but the bust... its all weird ... I had tried to mess with the weights but it seems to ether do something different or nothing at all.

 

It seems there's a spot just between the chest and just under her chin that does not move when I use the breast slider. Now before you ask why I don't just use the base Cleo body and his sliders, its because they are really not perfect, I pull the shoulders down and a spike pops out in the back of her neck, I thicken up her body and small square protrusions appear on her back, but pulling the body into blender and saving it with the skeleton given in kenshi fixes all this and the body works well ... other than the breasts ... I believe the issue is with the weights given on the body but I cant for the life of me find any good documentation on how to edit it properly.

 

So if any of you know or has succeeded in editing body weights, would love to hear from you.

 

(here is the body and skeleton of my edited Cleo body, this is the mod I use in my game with all edits required for her to work)

I take no credit for any work on Cleo, I have simply edited the body and mod to my liking, this post is for those who wish to help fix my body issues with it.

So did you check the weights, right? There is no unweighted vertices?There is an option in Blender in edit mode to select unweighted

Well the thing is kenshi seems to use weights funny,  you see before I even try to post for help I do some weird things, in this case I selected both breast bones and painted to red the entire chest area .... the effect was when I moved the breast slider in game it moved the boobs and part of her face and some of her neck ... but that one spot just at the top of the body/below the chin just did not move .... it feels like that bone is not moved by the breast slider (just now I'm thinking about it as I write)

 

I just hope somone on this thread has had experience in weight painting body's for kenshi

3 bones per vertex is a limit.

It's better to do it yourself in Blender, otherwise sliders will do weird things in those places.

Can you provice a screenshot of the issue? As Azazeliz said, some mishap may be happening at the weighting process

The bellybutton is also having odd issues but its small ... the boobs are the issue, mostly because I cant really change the size to what I want .. I have to match it up to the part that does not move.

is there a way to use this head and textures with the vanilla body?

[Ears]

Tell me please, does the game support translucent textures? Is it possible to paint the alpha channel in a shade of gray, so that the object is visible, but the body shines through it? I can't do it. Either the texture is opaque, or the object is completely invisible. Perhaps some other settings for the object's material are required? Or is there nothing that can be done?

Nope.

You could do some transparency using noise. But I'm not sure how that would look in the end.

ello everyone!

I saw guide in this topic how to replace 2B's body with YAKNM testxture, (page 49, 70km's post)

I'ev tried to replace hivers diffuse file  from this mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2262334748) in this mod(https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2451854461)
It works with western and south hive, but refuse work with deadhive (im replacing right files,for sure)

Perheaps some can make patch for me, because i dont know what to do

Yes, indeed...

Well, at least this way we managed to do something.

Not with any skill set I have, The issue is how the Cleo body is made.. the head and body textures are on the same png file, also the body uses a completely different texture map so nothing is compatible with the body .. skin wise. For me I just made the Cleo part of the human race as a subrace and created a mod that makes all top armor and shirts unable to be worn by the Cleo subrace, I boosted the stats on the Cleo race to offset the fact it cant wear any chest armor, (it was a lot easier to just modify the pants than the shirts, mostly because modified shirts look really weird on the vanilla races but pants seem to flow ok being changed to fit the Cleo body.

 

I know none of this matters to anyone, the Cleo body has not gotten any love and I found that odd, its a fantastic body, just needs some TLC ...

Poor compatibility with what already exists is never a good thing.

Is the skeleton youre using in that shots male or female? Are you trying to max the breast sliders or they're stuck like that?

In the end it may be that you're just extending the sliders too far. If you want a better expansion, reweighting may be necessary

Sadly no this issue I am having is more complex.

 

I'll try and convey my issue better, with point form

 

1: Have Cleo body, works but has odd issues with slider (small spikes appear when neck is moved)

 

2: found out how to edit body in blender, saved body with kenshi base female skeleton, no edits to mesh.

 

3: All sliders on Cleo body now work as intended with no artifacts, except the breast slider where there's a spot (see pictures) where it will not move.

 

I know through testing its got something to do with the wight painting, but its not ... acting as expected...the closest answer to this is from Azazellz where they pointed out the 3 bone issue, but I can't seem to find out how many bones has been used.

 

Either way, I kinda gave up a bit ago and just accepted the old body skeleton. Better breast shapes with no gap between them.

If it's the bone limit you can do this:

I have a huge request to the people who are creating 3D meshes for this game. Please make a replacer for the shackles. The shackles that are in the game look unrealistic and grotesque, like a game convention, and not a real object.

It seems to me that the existing model needs to be changed as follows:

1) Remove the cuffs from the hands. All the same, if you look at the characteristics of the item, the shackles do not restrict the hands and cannot interfere with work, which means that the cuffs on the hands are a meaningless decorative element. It serves no purpose, it is not needed.

2) Reduce the size of the collar and leg cuffs to a realistic size. Right now they look like weightlifting discs. It looks ridiculous.

3) Put a realistic looking chain on the leg irons. Right now there is a weird straight stretchy stick. It looks funny and ugly.

 

Now if it were possible to get something even remotely similar to what is in the picture from the existing mesh and the existing texture, that would be really cool.

How do you recognise a slave? Look at the hands. There will be heavy scars from the shackles.
And they're not easy to remove.

As well as a huge chunk of the armour in the game. Stylisation.

Because it can't be done any other way. Kenshi doesn't support armour and equipment physics.
Well, except for the belt lamp.

I downloaded the bukkake mod from a Japanese web. Thought it was a bukkake animation but it just adds two objects, named "cum1" and "cum2", which you research and then craft on the leatherworking bench. I have it hard to gather leather at the moment in my run, does anybody know what the mod is exactly?

You can either 1, post the mod you downloaded in this thread, or 2. open fcs and see for yourself. Otherwise, no one know what you talking about.

[Kapnobataii]

Here it is uploaded. I opened it with the FCS and, while I'm not by any means the most knowledgeable person with it, I see no animations, it seems it's just to add a cum "texture overlay" that acts as an armor piece in the game. Does anybody know if this mod is related to another one which actually adds bukkake animations?

Based on the file, IT IS just a texture for armors. as for animation, I have no clue as I don't care about sexual animations in any games so best of luck there.

Thanks for the help. Whatever the case, sadly sex animations are the closest thing we have to a sex mod in Kenshi.
