LE Werewolf fur linked to hair color?

[SaiyanHeretic]

Is there a way to link different werewolf skins to each step in the vanilla hair color slider? You know, so a blond character turns into a werewolf with blond fur, and so on?

Theoretically if the werewolf race has the exact same colors assigned, it should work. At least that's how the vampire race works (non-vamp lord form).

 

To test:

Open the race window of the werewolf race

Go to Face Data tab

Find Available Hair Colors list

If the colors used on your playable race are not listed, right click, choose new and select the color(s) from the list that pops up.

 

To make a custom color work you'd first need to create the color form and add that entry to the form list called HairColorList, then add that new entry to both the werewolf race, the playable race you intend to use as well as the vampire version of said race. If you use RaceMenu for a custom color, it may not work. Getting RaceMenu custom colors to work might require adaptation of the RaceMenu mod, of which the author would have to do.

I was hoping that if I replied to this topic, it would gain some attention and be resurrected. This would be a fantastic idea, if someone is willing to undertake it.

This is an old thread. Hope it isn't a problem that I'm necro-ing it.

It would seem that 'WerewolfBeastRace' doesn't have a face data tab, unfortunately.

I guess I'd have to make a whole new race to overwrite it that has face data??

 

EDIT:

I can get face data by ticking the box on 'general data' that reads 'FaceGen Head'. I've added in the hair colors... But does anyone know how to link those to custom werewolf textures??

Hey I did this today. Aela on the left, in case you can't tell.
I was trying to get it to work the way you all were describing above, but eventually gave up on that mess, made recolor outfits, and did it with a script. Anywho, current state of it is:
- Members of the circle will transform into wolf that matches their hair color
- Player transforms into wolf color that matches their hair
- If player transforms and their current follower should be able to, they will too.
- Randomly encountered werewolves have random color (15 variations)

Planning on uploading the mod tomorrow. Want to sleep on it and make sure I'm not forgetting something important...

That's going to be something to see after a while with some of the neon haired characters people tend to use.

I guess I need to clarify, this will only work with the 15 vanilla hair colors.

Whoa, this sounds too good to be true! There really is a mod like that? Definitely tracking- atm, I cannot install it, because it doesn't seem to work with Moonlight Tales. But I will download to endorse- compability with Moonlight Tales and lightweight or not, this is an idea that deserves endorsment!
