How To: Make Leaderheads! Ekmek's Guide

Capo, will we be seeing Dido in LoR in any of the coming expansions? I noticed you mentioned phungus420 was pulling his hair out about not having Dido.

With any luck I'll have at least Mugabe done in January, I've been really busy this semester. That's IB for you.

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

You better get it done, you modern-day colonialist!

 

[Vortilex]

Wait, who's a colonialist, me? If so, could you expand on that, cuz I don't really understand what you're going at

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

Robert Mugabe calls everybody that.

 

[Vortilex]

True. I was surprised to hear he was participating in the Copenhagen conference.

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

I think Zimbabwe's doing a good job on the climate change front. Nobody in Zimbabwe can afford to buy gasoline!

Remember to give him his midget Hitler moustache.

 

[Vortilex]

oh, yeah, cuz he announced that he wants to be a Hitler tenfold XD

I can't speak for the people who make LoR, but I am pretty confident that she will be in there because Phungus420 did request her, and I regularly "collude" with Phungus and AchillesZero (at least when he was still around) in the sense that we share eachother's stuff. So I'd probably say yes... but why play LoR when you could play Diplomacy! (well LoR has more features actually, but I don't want so many features).

I installed Dido in my own LoR, and the only problem was that the button was pink. Everything else worked great This means I can add

 

[The Capo]

I either forgot to include the button (which I doubt because I pulled it right from my own mod) or I gave you the wrong XML (maybe I misspelled something). There should be a Btn_Dido.dds file in there.

I tested it. You did everything correctly. The problem is not with you, Capo.

FYI

I got a new 64-bit laptop so i have to get blender for 64bit working on it. this shouldnt mean anything assuming that 32-bit and 64-bit blender stuff is the same. but when debugging this might be a factor so you guys with 32bit may need to help out a times.

IgorS: havent gotten the neck thing fixd but wil once i get blender running

 

[The Capo]

What was wrong with the neck exactly?

 

[IgorS]

What was wrong with the neck exactly?

The problem is with Bismarck. For an unknown reason the top part of his suit, right below the neck, folds inside and you can see a big hole. I have no idea why that happens.

@ IgorS

check the rigging of the 'b_shoulder_bicep_R' (vertices mode in Blender), some vertices are rigged (wrongly, because i´m sure they shouldn´t) to this node

You might be right. I do see now a line on the left arm. I hope you're right.
EDIT: It's even worse! It appears there are dots that are assigned to the right shoulder bicep! How did that happen?!
EDIT 2: Thanks a lot, Coyote! Problem solved, the LH will be released soon.

The button's in the file, I just need to see if I gave it the right path/right file name. I also put down the wrong religion for favorite religion.

Alright,I'm at the nifswap stage. When I try to nifswap the LH,I get a message saying...

Spoiler :

Nif Versions differ!
Current File Version: 20.0.0.4
Clipboard Data Version:4.0.0.2
The results will be unpredictable....

Then whn I press "Continue",I get something like this.....

Spoiler :

failed to map parent link NiNode:b_shoulder_bicep_R

Should I uninstall nifscope,Blender,and all the other programs listed in the tutorial and reinstall them? Any help would be appreciated.

for the first one what blender version are you using and what are your export options are you set to?

2) that means the model you are swapping from has different bones then the one you are swapping to. Are you trying to skeleton swap?

I'm using Blender 2.48 and for some reason the settings for nif_export does not appear to be the same as the one in you tutorial. I have a feeling i like like a huge noob now....
