Looking for custom race how-to?

[mrt181]

Hi, i would like to copy my vanilla oblivion race (dunmer, modded by Race Balancing Project) to a custom race in order to be able to use body tattoo textures only for my PC. Was something like this done before or do you know any how-to to achieve this myself?

I have just copied all the values from the race I wanted to modify to my new race name.

 

Have you looked at it in the CS yet? I mean, do you need a complete "how to" starting from opening the races in the construction set? If you already have made yourself familiar with the CS then it's not hard.

no not a complete how-to. but a little guidance. in the body data section i have 4 entries for textures (Upper, Lower, Hand, Foot) but most mods only provide i.e. footfemale.dds and handfemale.dds. how do i replace the textures paths? How do i create my own esp, when i am finished etc?

If your using exnem, hgec, or pretty much any non-vanilla body, the "footfemale" contains the textures for the upperbody, lowerbody, and the feet, so they all use the same texture. Except for the hands. And the head.

thank you. seems i have overlooked the article. i am new to modding. i would like to duplicate a race from another mod (Race Balancing Project) without changing the original mod. i would like to save the duplicate in its own mod and esp file. how do i do this?
