Yummykitchenfloor Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Hey im looking to making a mod for nv based around the gore, however i cant actually seem to find any references or wiki as to how the gibbing works or even the script used to decide it, any help here?

madmongo Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Human and creature meshes have the dismemberment defined inside each nif file. How and when the gibbing occurs is controlled within the game engine itself. It's not done via scripting. I think there are a few settings to control how frequently the gibbing occurs and that sort of thing, but other than that I don't think you have much control over it.

sullyvanj93 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I think you could learn a lot about this by diving into the "Bloody Mess" perk and effect. Looks like there are some files of the original developers tinkering with this game aspect. No guarantees, it's not something I have a lot of knowledge in, but hopefully you can pick up a thing or two looking at what they were doing there.

Omny Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I've fiddled with dismemberment stuff in GECK, and here's what I found: Under the "Actor Data -> Body Part Data tab, you'll find the Body Part Data for every NPC and creature in the game (for reference, all the human NPCs use "DefaultBodyPartData" while the player uses "PlayerBodyPartData"). Each one consists of a skeleton model (I.E. the bones attached to each model), the Ragdoll Data, and the Part Data, which lists all the various separate "limbs" that can be chopped off of whatever character uses it. If you click on any listed body part, you'll find all the data for that specific body part. You can see here that you can make the limbs Severable (able to be chopped off) and/or Explodable (able to be blown apart into gibs), and each of those has a few other parameters you can edit as well, such as how easy it is to cripple/dismember a limb, what model the gibs use, the "explosion" effect that occurs upon dismemberment, and so on. If you want a more specific definition for each thing here, check out the GECK Wiki page on BodyPartData. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
