Azzhat Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Without having to go through all the hassle of unique player mod, as an equippable item, or giving everyone the same nail color, I just want a Looksmenu Overlay for nails. Please?
AWP3RATOR Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 I looked in this - as I was interested in looksmenu overlays for other things too. It can be done, but I haven't found a mod that does it yet. I see mods that add nails either to everyone, unique player, or equipable - like you found. If you went the Looksmenu route, then it would be an overaly only, meaning the nail would be length of the default nail - which is trimmed. Manicured nails that extend past the end of the finger couldn't be accommodated, as the texture require a mesh to paint on to. Still, if you looking for just a "simple" color change effect accomplished with an overaly, Looksmenu can do it. I created a bunch of Skyrim SlaveTats overlays in the past (even released one here) - and this works similarly, but not the same. Looksmenu mods require an .esp to register the materials and textures and propagate them to game. The mod itself though would just be some materials files, texture files, and .json to work the LM menus. There is a decent guide here. I will look into creating such a mod this weekend.
AWP3RATOR Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Yep, I should have a proof of concept going shortly. Then after some testing, will release it here and to Nexus. If you've got any ideas or want to see certain things, feel free to PM me. Same username on both sites.
AWP3RATOR Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 POC done, got it all working. The paint job was quick and dirty, but this was applied in-game via looks menu overlays. Is this what you were looking for?
Azzhat Posted January 20, 2018 Author Posted January 20, 2018 Yes it was! Just one question: Can the color and tint be altered?
AWP3RATOR Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 According to LooksMenu author expired6978 - the body overlays cannot yet be tinted within the game but it's a planned feature. What I'm planning to do is set up 10 numbered nail overlays and 10 toenail ovelays that the game can use - all with different colors matching each set (1 is Red, 2 is purple, 3 is french, and so on). This way the player can simply alter the texture files outside of game, reload and the colors will work. This would support swapping between overlays within game, the same way face tattoos are applied/removed/changed.
