Many thanks to @orinEsque for his help and spreadsheets !

We are SO not the pronoun police here (LOLOL) but I should point out that orinEsque is a her.
Not a big deal, but she's done so much awesome work, I feel she deserves a little extra respect.

Thanks for the mod!

[Rand]

What exactly are you disagreeing with @rusty_shackleford ?

[orinEsque]

Good job, Makirige! Nice to see more modders choosing HQ.

What exactly are you disagreeing with @rusty_shackleford ?

Offtopic: Maybe he thinks I'm a 500 pound man called Steve? (also I won't take offence if you misgender me, I'm happy enough with the credit )

[Faceless_Sentinel]

@orinEsque im sorry, but in this context (massages above) i can't hold myself, i will make this joke.

Rule of the internet #30

What exactly are you disagreeing with @rusty_shackleford ?

Because someone's gender, especially in the internet, is a mostly irrelevant detail (plus Orin can correct this kind of thing herself if she thinks it's an issue)

Its an honest mistake and she apologised to me elsewhere anyway. Lets drop it thanks. Now show some based mod appreciation people!

@rusty_shackleford please update the rules with anchors so I can directly link to #7. Thanks.

Lol, no. Not applicable.
I want @orinEsque to keep making mods, and she CLEARLY runs on compliments and respect, so it's only good policy to do so when appropriate.

I edited it-- Lips too thin?
Also added LODs. I think the _Base is a duplicate.

EDIT:

Removed LODs as Orin suggested-
https://files.catbox.moe/l8r75e.GR2

Rename to RhaenyraD.GR2 and replace the one in "\Generated\RhaenyraDaughter" after you unpack the PAK + duplicate and replace the RHaenyraD_Base.GR2 as well.

You don't open it stick it in this path you showed me earlier:


It's a 3d model you open in blender. No need for you worry rn.

Oh yeah, I have Noesis set up for GR2, but I can screenshot Blender real quick...




You basically have to unpack the PAK file, swap the .GR2 file (and the _base one too), and repack it, using the multitool.

Oh is that the edited version of the black woman?
If so you can just override the path from where this head came from. And restore the original "Head" code. I'll show you tomorrow.

No-no... It's the Allandra one.

and I might make another face with less plump lips using Allandra's face model.

PS. It might look fine in Blender but then ingame, with facial animations... not look so great.

Oh I see! It will be fine if you create a head template for it, using Padme's tutorial: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/ ... ?tab=files

If you replace the GR2 directly, animation will mess up. This only works if you are editing the original head, in this case, the black head.

Because its Allandra one, Makirige can just create a path in this mod called "Generated/RhaenyraDaughter/". And put the GR2 file in that folder. It should be named the same as below RhaenyraDaugher.GR2

For reference, LODs are bugged in the blender export, and I recommend not using them, and setting Distance to 0 for all meshes/

What was the issue Lexo faced with editing player heads like the black head this character uses?

I'm not sure actually. @lexo1000 ?

Replacing vanilla heads breaks face animations.

I migh be a ***, but I'd simp for @orinEsque

Replacing vanilla heads breaks face animations.

Tbh with altered player heads, I couldn't get any changes to work (or work with the mods I have atm). I could mess around with companion heads easy enough and the animations didn't seem broken.

Did you alter the position of skeleton bones at all?

You won't get glitches if you create a head template properly and link the head UUID in the charactervisuals merged file. On the otherwise If you replace the GR2 directly you will ALWAYS get broken animations.

This is because the head's base animation specified in the head's LSX file and the actual head no longer match. So say you blendered head K, you need to pull out the LSX file for head K, and edit that to create a new visual resource for your edited-head K. Padme has a head template on nexus.

Well, let's take this Allandra one for example, that mod already has a merged file with it. So would I need to redo it after changing the head model?

Technically, there shouldn't be mouth movement issues if you simply reference the visualBank ID for Allandra in the charactervisuals file. Is that not the case?

Ah, balls, of course this doesn't have a merged file. Brain fart.
Although it wasn't animation issues, it just didn't appear to work in game at all after turning it into a PAK file, so I assumed it must be being overwritten.

I'm probably at fault for confusing you but I haven't had problems with the Allandra one, since I've not tested the change, I was just using it as an example. It should be fine... except...
The only animation issues I've had with swapping the companion heads is that the animations are still made for the previous head model, so sometimes even small changes may look odd.
Also the piercings/ beards won't snap to the correct areas. In reaction to that, I moved the skeleton bones/ nodes, like moving the nostril bones to realign with the actual nostrils, and that seemed to help for animations, but I'm not sure I'm supposed to do that... I haven't moved the bones in the Allandra edit I posted.

I thought @lexo1000 created a Merged file with UUIds though, right?
