RedDaemonFox Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Okay, so what I want to know is: Could someone make it so that the player could use the argonian replacer from the Xeo mod as a stand alone race? Basically leave the NPCs untouched. I just got into the Oblivion modding community so I am very much a hatchling when it comes to these things. I would appreciate some assistance. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFact Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 With tools like TES4Gecko and/or TES4Edit, you can delete every stock NPC from XEO plugin, make it cosmetic&race mod only. Or you can separate the plugin apart, make NPC replacer optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDaemonFox Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Hey Lfact, So I've decided to go and try my hand at it. I DLed TES construction set and am just making a custom race. Do either of the tools you mentioned allow you to view the exact textures and meshes so I'm not groping around blindly (I'm still getting used to the CS system, but once I find out whats needed I'm hoping this race will actually work quite well. So what I've done thus far is duplicate the Argonian race, and changed some of the attributes. I'm keeping the innate abilities that they have but I'm making the race kind of like a femme fatale (Female spy/Assasin). I will probably require some assistance in the finer points of the mod but as long as I dont have to do anything really involved it shouldnt take long.

LFact Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 TES4Edit may show correct texture/mesh paths(in text), but if you want to preview those graphic resources, you need some other tools like NifSkope and any graphic viewer that supports DDS.

RedDaemonFox Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Yeah I got nifscope and stuff. I've got all the textures needed for the race and begun work on it. Probably going to try some more tonight, but might I say, tescs has a steep learning curve. Is there any other application that's a bit easier to work with?

RedDaemonFox Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 NVM. I've gotten basically everything, now I just need to do some more testing. Once I fine tune it I will up it on TESNEXUS, but of course, since I just made the race, all credit will be due to XEO. I reused the vanilla meshes and textures where needed - to save time since I'm using a borrowed PC atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDaemonFox Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Okay, I think It's basically done. Its a quick and functional mod, nothing really to it. Right now I just have RENs beauty pack hairs, but I will add more later. It's still far from finished, I still need to play with it and hopefully add some more content, was thinking on adding other body meshes (currently, it's using a hgec w/ underwear). When I have more time to work on it I will customize the race a bit more, right now it is balanced for stealth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDaemonFox Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Okay so all I need is to get the voice working, and I need to use wyre bash and get Corean and Rens working together. Once thats done I will be ironing out the bugs (so far, very few, the body works with both the stock and HGEC bodies). The first release wll include patched beauty pack and patched corean (I'm not adding any vanilla hairs, unless I must.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDaemonFox Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 So it's patched, and the argonian voice is working. The mod will include: The ESPThe textures and meshes neededThe actual race, but it will be female onlyRecommended mods. It's very, very close to an alpha release. Other versions may be present in the future. The mod itself will be okay for anyone to improve or otherwise.I'll be starting a new feedback discussion once it's released.
