Anyway to copy Appearance?

[Rachel2707]

Has title says :3 the follower i made looks too good haha i want her face mesh but i am still new to fallout mods keep getting confused with skyrim.

And it was my first mod also..i am tried to edit it and i don't even remember how thats how sad it is haha

 

But ya!!! Is there a way to copy her appearance on myself? spent 3 hours modifying my face in menu but cant do it

 

Basicaly where is the Main Character folder? since it is a custom race if i change mesh and textures like skyrim would it work?

 

or can anyone show me a real tutorial on how to make new race or companions or armor mods..

There is one niceo n youtube but i can barely understand what he is saying with his very strong accent :3

 

and he doesn't show how to use other mods to compile them into one nice shiny retextured pack

 

retexturing the one i did was easy the folder where created just like skyrim! i just copy pasted around modified a few things and poof it worked.

Now i want to add armor for her..cant..want to add a weapon..well unless it is from FalloutNV only and all it takes is to add it to inventory in GECK

 

i dont want to be stuck at only retexturing small details like skin texture and hair style and color and call it my mod =o

if you got the time to look at my nekomimi companion mod see how the folders are nicely split together and all i had to do is like skyrim use mesh and texture from 100 of mods to make 1 look better..but that..is simple

 

I want to Create My Own Custom Race well no i want to look like my companion i created myself xD

But i would really like to start making my own followers with armors from mods..but they are always in packages so i cannot simply drop them in my bag.

im sure its sooo stupid! like take 3-4 esp and activate yours merge and save them together then copy paste folders into 1 data package.... But hah it doesnt work has i though it seems

Another question, eh?

 

[Note: This is going to need a lot of edits, so bear with me..]

 

1) Copying Face - In GECK, when you're viewing the NPC, check off the CharGen Face Preset. Go in-game, if you're starting a new game then choose the same race as the follower, and scroll through the presets, it should be somewhere in there. Or, if you're continuing an existing game, use 'showracemenu' in the console (Word of Warning, your perks may no longer function and you'll have to remove and add the perk again through console).

 

2) Character Folder - The character folder is located in your Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas\Data\meshes\characters\. It depends on what you're changing, if you're changing the body, you'll need to change the armours as well.

 

2.5) Custom race - As in new mesh/model and textures, or just a new race using geck?

 

3) Companion tutorial.

 

3.5) Armour.. Mod - In regards to armour.. mods.. as you put it (I'm guessing you want to create a new armour?) I'm going to slowly point you to this tutorial with great uncertainty.

 

4) Copying Face 2 - So.. which is it, coping the face or making a new race? If you want to make a new race.. in the Geck, go to the 'character' tab at the top and choose 'races' right click on the list of races to choose either a new one or duplicate an existing one to work off of.

Well Creating a Custom Race, i Have watched around 10 hours of video today i think i somehow got it now has far has scripts, packages, stats , and ai goes choosing my race and all.. wich i would think is the hardest to understand =x

 

But now the thing i do not understand.. is that my mod is a continuation of many authors mod.

So all i had to do is compile my best textures and meshes around and Work my Girly Magic make her look Cute with a lot of patience in Geck

But now i am desperatly trying to incorporate Armor from mods or well atleast 1 Because her starting armor is the horrible Brown one and i want her to have Asuka or Yoko.

But Both armors are inside a loot box so maybe that is why when i put it in her bags in GECK it wont work..

I want her to be a full equiped follower ! or be able to make another one with folders like the ones in my only mod.

Keep in mind i have no dam idea how he ended up having nice clean mesh and texture folders that made everything so easy for me

 

So i didn't have to do much on this mod..i don't know how he managed to use only 1 esp..without any external mods requirements. i know he added the textures but how he merged the Esp...

noone is telling me how to merge mods and make 2 esp become only 1. etc etc

I want to mod to upload for others :3 so i really want others to have the most simple Compressed NMM compatible or extractable mod with 1 esp and multiple texture and mesh

Exactly like this mod...

 

If not I tried Recoloring textures myself...doing exactly has i saw in 30 videos now...wasted hours installing gimp and a dds pluging..make it work and now well when i try to change textures in geck it tells me that my texture is not good unspecify or something like that

 

In Skyrim i only had to compile everything with copy paste =o to make 1 great looking one but its was so simple for my tiny brain :3

 

 

I will go try that Face trick you Suggested but i used moonshadow face on companion but i only had 2 preset but i did have Chargen on

 

 

Tried your trick and

Well moonshadow still has only 2 presets and mine isnt part of it =(

I was able to add Shojo Neko Eyes Mesh to that Companion...but i dont know where my own main character folder is so i cannot do it

Hmm i see its says zzmoonshadow O_o i think last author changed the race and put zz like 00 to locate it ! that would explain alot and nothing xD

So i will try to clone her has a proper moonshadow

i give up going to sleep ~_~ if anyone can tell me how to save preset in geck please.. i reaaally want my followers face and hair.... :3 cant see why i have been searching for this over 26 hours i used to swap faces more often then pants in skyrim =(

 

i unchecked facegen,, went in game saved exit. didnt work , i check it ,didnt work , i did *can be all race* , *clamp values*, did player.matchfacegeometry ID 100 did player.matchfacedata ID 100.. i even got a fnv plugins but it only saved my current ugly face. my moonshadow race has only 2 presets and it aint one of them. couldn't i simply turn her into a playable race instead?

i type 800 *how to gecko* how to mod* on google...people show only the very very basic stuff with vanilla items...

i want to incorporate more mods into my mod without being stuck with vanilla ressources

 

and concerning what i want to do with my armor well i made this companion because i absolutely wanted to pink up asuka armor on that first left picture http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/55159/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fnewvegas%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D55159%26preview%3D&pUp=1

 

Only Reason she is wearing it there is because i have companion mod and i gave her mine.. But ya Asuka Armor Comes inside of a package it does not have an item option, i would love it to be inside her bags has her default armor. and incorporated into the mod so people do not need the download asuka mod for it to work like all the rest of my remod.

 

 

OR QQ :3 im so going to sleep =o worst i could do is build her a desk near her spawn point with her yoko weapon and asuka armor pack on top of it but then i would have 3 esp

thats what i cannot find anywhere i mean.. a mod like nevada with near thousands of different mods and esp ends up with only 3-4 esm-p

I want to redo her completely from scratch with what i learned and well i can do scripts,the model, i still cant copy her but could do another one just has cute and maybe put them both together how ...HOW... xD im going bunkerz

 

Anyway if anyone can help ..tutorials all say the same thing and none of them is showing me what is needed to make a mod unless its 100% Vanilla... i still cannot change my vanilla to start with so byby pink guns dream

 

Very sorry all this nonsense ..i cannot explain what i do not know.. i just know...someone! gona have that magic 3 minutes answer..thats going to answer every single of my Questions.. i really spend 59 hours straigh up to do this mod then spent 30 hours on repetetive tutorial that confused me and i haven't learned anything :3

You can try asking here too http://forums.bethsoft.com/forum/110-fallout-new-vegas-mods/

[Rachel2707]

basicly what i want to really know is... example if i make a custom gun texture it then becomes a Esp of its own (well if i even could..GECK wont save my new textures...) but nvm that

So instead i would need to use bits and parts from other mods.. but how do i merge that Esp or another mod Into my Companion Esp ?

The thing confusing me is in skyrim u had separate folders, so all you had to do is play with mesh and texture make a data package with all mods mesh and textures on desktop with it and never bother to edit ur esp compress all that in 1 package and upload it and either tell people to simply extract to data or use NMM.

 

SO trying to make it simple to understand cause i confuse even myself!

Can i take my Follower Mod ok.. Take Asuka Armor Mod And Yoko Mod.. Extract it inside my Followers Mod data folder then somehow merge all 3 esp onto only my Companion ESP

That is really all i want to know...

 

think i understand how to build the actual data folder people are going to need with the Esp because its the same thing has skyrim

But then this... alot of textures are hidden in Fallout..like weapons and all wich is why u need a Esp for a simple color change...

 

so if i take my follower folder let's say i want to add asuka armor mod to her wich is a package on the ground at first. so i cannot simply put it in her inventory on GECK.

 

Could i Simply extract asuka armor mod into my follower folder make a merge patch with nfv to somehow have only 1 ESP in my upload?

i Want people to Download my mod and dont need anything else and have only 1 esp or esm at the end..

Unless she one day becomes a 2 gig mod xD

 

And i dont want to just copy paste a mod into my folder compress it and upload it with many esp...that is First very cheap Mod Stealing lol

well i mean i always ask for permission but doing this is the same has if i said to people go download it there...and activate it...but i get the credit for nothing...

If i can Merge it in my Mod then i can change its location and i can change its color a bit and incorporate it in a House+ companion mod and make the package spawn inside

Not really sure I know exactly what you're trying to do. Sounds like you know way more than I do. In the GECK are you loading multiple files? If I wanted something in an NPC's inventory I would load the mod with that item and my NPC mod, then put it in the NPC's inventory.

i understoof everything now..i was trying to learn using a race thats broken in GECK ... :3

and yes now i modified geck so i can open multiple esm and esp and play around it is really has simply has i though.. move meshes and textures around make new folders name it. etc etc same has skyrim. But ya the item i speak of are items that are in a box. lets say Yoko sniper is at the airport in a guncase and asuka armor is at the cemetary in a doll cardbox. so it cannot be equiped has a default armor.but since i am now using a race that WORKS! :3 i think i understand now and ya i only got to load the item on my esp save and then it does not require the other esp at all no merge nothing. only for me to build up a proper upload folder.

But i still do not understand how i could copy my Playable character to look like my Companion she is way cuter then me xD and ya last piece of my puzzle
