skeleton.nif

[Adelardo]

What are the differences between the files skeleton.nif and malebody.nif ?

 

Also, in the ../textures directory what do exactly the file malebody.dds ?

 

I need some help to understand what are the role of each of them.

 

I thank you for your answer.

Skeleton.nif holds all bone related data. Like, positions, camera place, and so.

 

By adjusting weapon slots for example, it'd be possible to change where the weapon is located when unequipped and so on.

 

Malebody.nif instead is quite obligatory.

It's male body.

Regular naked male body, don't really know what else to say about it.

When male is naked, that's the body it uses.

 

malebody.dds is the texture that malebody uses.

Thank you.

 

Also skeleton.nif file is the same for all races, whatever are they fat or skinny, small or big, male or female ?

 

And is it only the malebody.nif who determine the size of people ?

Size of the people is determined by skeleton, malebody/femalebody, and the actor size factor in CK.

 

Weight slider is what determines how fat or skinny character is.

 

Skeleton.nif is used for human races, skeletonbeast is for argonian and khajiit.

I thank you for your answers. I try to modify some downloaded races for my own usage (only).
