MaleBodyReplacerV4

Alright so i downloaded the complete .7z file i was all set to go, i double clicked the read me and i honestly have absolutely no idea what hes talkin about under the install. im kinda new to the modding but i have installed them before, in fear that i will screw up my game i thought i would come here and ask for help :thumbsup: This is what the install says...

 

"Copy the data folder into your Oblivion directory. Average with pants1 is the default you now have in data\meshes\characters\_male, the directory for the body meshes.

 

If you want a different version, go to meshes\characters\RT\male, there's the folders of the different body types. It's average, muscular and slender, each with cloth and nude subfolders. All body meshes are in \nude, the \cloth folder has the lower body meshes with pants applied. From there copy the files you want to _male. The pants files must be renamed to lowerbody.nif. Same with the sandals contained in the muscular folder renamed to foot.nif. You can use the sandals too by replacing one of the shoe models in the clothes folders. Here rename it to shoes.nif.

When you use the slender version, then the respective beast tails must be used too - tail.nif goes to argonian\male and khajiittail.nif goes to khajiit\male.

 

If you want to use the heads, they're in RT\resource: headhuman.nif goes to characters\imperial and headorc.nif to characters\orc.

Same with the animations: idle.kf goes to \_male and stand1.kf to \_male\idleanims.

You may have to add the entries to ArchiveInvalidation.txt.

 

All races have separate maps in their respective texture folders. The textures of all races that originally shared the imperial texture are exchangable. To use them differently just switch the texture files. Three face textures are installed in \imperial, \darkelf and \orc.

 

 

Before starting the game activate the body replacer esp."

 

I guess i need that in like idiot terms so i can get it without screwin the whole game up. Thanks in advance.. Deeds

Since I use this mod I'll take a stab at the idiot talk (wait, are you calling me an idiot if I can speak it? hehe).

 

When you extract the archive file you'll see that it has that RT directory in there as well. This one doesn't actually need to be copied over to your Oblivion data directory. This is where your optional components are (different body size and / or nude basically).

 

IF you want one of these options then you have to continue with his instructions. If you are happy with the "average" body and having it clothed then you're done after you do the usual copying to the data folder and checking the .esp file (in case you haven't yet, you do that when you launch Oblivion and click on data files or (the better way) when you load up your OBMM).

 

Right, so if you do want the options then you just have a little more work. In the Oblivion data structure you'll find the directories "data\meshes\characters\_male". This is the directory you'll be working with for your changes.

 

From his RT sub directories, copy over the alternative versions that you want (muscular for example). Copy these into the "data\meshes\characters\_male" under Oblivion. If you want your fellers naked (as I do) then you need to also copy lowerbody.nif over and get rid of the pants one. You see here, you are telling the system whether to use pants or a naked lower body, it can't use both.

 

I'm going to leave the heads part to someone else because although I followed the instructions my fellers still look like they only got a tan on their bodies, not their heads or vice versa. :)

 

I hope that helps, mate.

 

Cheers.

Pick one of available options; average, muscular, slender. Rename the pants.nif file to lowerbody.nif from the choice you selected or go for the nude version.(No mention about the nude files in the instruction, just assuming you can go and copy it without any editing.) If you pick 'slender', you have to copy the tail.nif & khajiittail.nif to the correct subfolders also.(Filepaths have been told in the instructions) Just copy the instructed files from their folders to the folder you've been instructed to.(IE 'If you want to use the heads, they're in RT\resource: headhuman.nif goes to characters\imperial and headorc.nif to characters\orc.' where RT\resource is the containing folder and ...characters\imperial & ...characters\orc being the destination folders.) This is pretty much as simply as I can put it.

 

edit; michlo beat me to this. xD ..yes, it took me seven minutes longer to think of a way of saying this.
