Can this be done?

Post » Mon Mar 15, 2010 7:02 pm

Is it possible, and if so how would it be done, to copy the hair (HNAM) records for one race into another? I've created a race and set the dependency of that mod to the master file that defines the hairs which aren't already defined in Oblivion.esm as well as the race that I'm trying to copy from. I've opened the .esp in TES4Edit but I can't seem to figure out how to do this, if this is even the right tool. Other tools I have available to me are Wrye Bash, and the CS. The only way I know how to do it is with the CS, one hair at a time, and that's tedious work.

I figured it out. I copied the FormID of the new race and pasted it into Notepad, then changed it to the FormID of the race I wanted the hairs from. Then it was a simple matter of drag and drop the hairs (and the eyes, since I wanted those too). As a last step, I changed the formID of the new race back to what it was, declined to update any records in the master, and saved the new race's .esp file.

OOPS I meant to edit the first post, not reply... anyway I think this might be valuable information to some :)

What I do is, adding hairs to one race, then copying and pasting HNAM to other race. I use http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14542 to quick copy/paste.(Warning: before you do, do not forget to make a backup. It can ruin your plugin, although this tool usually crashes to desktop when you do something wrong.)
