OBSE - SetRaceAlias

[amnes]

Hi,

I am trying to replace NPCs with custom races, and male and female are replaced with distinct races.

For example, Imperial male is replaced by race A, while Imperial female is replaced by race B.

All I know is to use SetRaceAlias in OBSE to make it, but I don't how to do it concretely.

Is there any tutorial or example?

Thanks.

SetRaceAlias does not change races. It is a method for recognising one race as another in name only. For instance, you could SetRaceAlias Imperial Redguard and then you call GetIsRace Imperial and it will recognise Redguards as Imperials, but it does not change the race.

Pretty much the only was is to make separate identical base records except the race.

I heard that some mod such as xeo uses SetRaceAlias to set custom races to be recognized as vanilla races.

For example,

SetRaceAlias Imperial A

SetRaceAlias Imperial B

 

By this way, it can make Imperial male and female use different face textures for all NPCs.

I only know the concept, but I don't know the detail.
