Yeah, Blockhead!
version 1.0
Requires http://obse.silverlock.org/
Download : http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/43752
Description
This OBSE plugin adds support for gender variant head models and textures for NPCs. Additionally, because I had nothing better to do, it allows NPC records in ESP plugins to use pre-generated face textures.
Fine Print
Gender specific head model/texture paths are automatically derived from each NPC’s race record’s original head model/texture path – Male models and textures have a “_m” suffix in their filenames and female a “_f” suffix. The plugin will revert to the original asset path should the gender specific one not point to a valid file. Auxiliary files such as TRI, EGM, EGT files and normal maps need to be appropriately named for each gender as well.
For instance, given a race record with a head model named ‘headhuman.nif’ and a head texture named ‘headhuman.dds’:
headhuman_m.nif
headhuman_m.tri
headhuman_m.egm
headhuman_m.egt
headhuman_m.dds
headhuman_m_n.dds
Gender specific textures are not a requirement for using gender specific models – The plugin allows the original texture to be mapped to both variants of the model.
The plugin’s INI file is generated after first run (in the same folder as the plugin) and contains options to toggle its features.
Compatibility
This plugin is compatible with every other OBSE plugin there is.
