Ironman5000 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I want to add several new NPCs, enemies and possible followers to a mod i'm working on and I would like the option to do a quick change to the facial features instead of having to manually alter each little bit. Unless you want a specific looking character it seems like a pointless and time consuming exercise. The GECK had a 'generate' button in the facegen (or something like that) tab which would create a new face and you could pick one that looked close to what you wanted then alter a few bits to suit your liking. I don't see such a feature with the CK. Any help? atm i'm using existing NPCs and altering features but it's not good enough for me, I don't have the time to mess about this much and i've got other areas of the mod that need more attention.

jet4571 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 You can make another NPC that has a face you want to use and tweak as it its base NPC and just check the box that changes the head/face, update and then uncheck the box and do the tweaks. I believe you can use the presets for this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman5000 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yeah i've started doing something like that now, using other NPCs then changing the race and maybe sex. The CK would benefit from using a random generate button though, dunno why they got rid of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jet4571 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I like the dependency feature myself. you can make them exactly like other NPC's in so many ways. such as inventory or factions. saves a ton of time just having an NPC that has what you want more or less and adding them to the dependent with that box checked then unchecking to further tweak. Though a random generator would be sweet if you are making 40 NPC's like in one of my mods and they are just guards. It gets old quick manually changing things so they all look unique.

expired6978 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 You could make a quick C program to randomly generate faces if you were that determined. When you use SPF (SavePCFace) ingame it will export your players face to an NPC file that can be imported in the CK. The file layout is basically just text, you could easily randomize a file like this.Example: Sex:F Race:00013746 Slider0:-0.100000 Slider1:-0.700000 Slider2:-0.200000 Slider3:0.700000 Slider4:0.400000 Slider5:-0.500000 Slider6:0.500000 Slider7:-0.500000 Slider8:0.100000 Slider9:-0.500000 Slider10:0.500000 Slider11:0.100000 Slider12:-0.100000 Slider13:0.000000 Slider14:0.800000 Slider15:0.300000 Slider16:0.200000 Slider17:0.800000 Slider18:340282346638528860000000000000000000000.000000 Preset0:2 Preset1:-1 Preset2:4 Preset3:3 HairColor:000A0439 Weight:100.000000 Height:1.000000 Complexion:0003B522 HeadPart:00051623 HeadPart:0005150F HeadPart:000EC1B2 HeadPart:00051177 HeadPart:00040224 HeadPart:000E4DA2 TintMask0:00DDDDDD:1.000000 TintMask1:00FFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask2:00FFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask3:00FFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask4:00FFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask5:00FFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask6:005254A9:0.380000 TintMask7:00FFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask8:00FFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask9:00FFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask10:00FFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask11:FFFFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask12:FFFFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask13:FFFFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask14:FFFFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask15:FFFFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask16:FFFFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask17:FFFFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask18:FFFFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask19:FFFFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask20:FFFFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask21:FFFFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask22:FFFFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask23:FFFFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask24:FFFFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask25:FFFFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask26:00FFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask27:FFFFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask28:FFFFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask29:00FFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask30:00FFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask31:00FFFFFF:0.000000 TintMask32:00FFFFFF:0.000000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some sort of plugin using this idea could be put together, maybe there is a way to do a random generator of the IDs?
