| ==== Using Minitool to create your CharacterCreationAppearanceVisuals ==== | | ==== [https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Modding:BG3_Mini_Tool#Using_Minitool_to_create_your_CharacterCreationAppearanceVisuals (Optional) Using Minitool to create your CharacterCreationAppearanceVisuals] ==== |
| If you use Padme's mini tool, you can auto create these slots with it by opening up the tool and going to CharacterCreationAppearanceVisuals button.
| |
| | |
| Once open it will look like this:
| |
| | |
| [[File:Bg3 mini tool ccav.webp|700px]]
| |
| | |
| SO first what you want to do is if you haven't already create your folders. If you haven't this tool does allow you to create the folders which it will then create in the tools directory into a folder called Mods.
| |
| | |
| If you get stuck wondering anything at any time feel free to click the ? buttons for more information. But once ready with your folders you can choose the Bodyshape your asset is being made for.
| |
| * Default = the default shape the race uses. In this instance Dragonborn and Half Orcs use default not other.
| |
| * Other = the other shape they use such as the strong bodyshape
| |
| | |
| Bodytype whether you want the asset for the Masc or Feminine body type.
| |
| | |
| Next up is the Handle. click Generate Unique Handle or copy in the handle you made in your localisation file. Alternatively if you haven't already setup your localisation file you can use the open Localisation editor. Once ready click the button that says Update.
| |
| | |
| Always press update once you are finished with a section.
| |
| | |
| RaceUUID - this is the id that defines the race that asset is used for. Click on the drop down menu to get options like below:
| |
| | |
| [[File:Ccavracedropdown.webp]]
| |
| | |
| This list by default is only the vanilla races. The last option is the stand in example for adding custom race uuids to the list so you can use it from this part of the tool. If you add any by following the nect header section it will update when you click the list again. Sometimes may need a double click.
| |
| | |
| Choose the race you want to use from the dropdown and then click update.
| |
| | |
| Our next drop down menu is for the Slotname:
| |
| | |
| [[File:Ccavslotnamedropdown.webp]]
| |
| | |
| You might need to click twice for the whole list to show. For ours we want to choose Hair. Then click update. But the rest of that list is what else can get added via CCAV. Feel free to add custom ones to the list as well if you have managed to add any custom ones, or any I may have forgotten from the list.
| |
| | |
| Next up is Unique UUID, for this we first want to click Generate Unique UUID and then click update.
| |
| | |
| VisualResource if you haven't already you can generate an id for use in your merged file here. but if you have already setup your merged file copy over the uuid we used for the ID line here and then click update.
| |
| | |
| We have now setup the file, so next if we don't have an already existing CharacterCreationAppearanceVisuals file we use Save as button. Navigate to the ModName/Public/YourShared/CharacterCreation folder and save your file.
| |
| | |
| If you already have a file use the locate your CharacterCreationAppearanceVisuals.lsx button and navitagte to your file. Once setup the bottom box will change to your path. Now you can click Add to your mod file if you want to add new slots to an already existing file.
| |
| | |
| Congrats you have made your CharacterCreationAppearanceVisuals with the mini tool.
| |
| | |
| ==== Adding modded races to the Minitool CCAV option ====
| |
| If wanting to use the one slot creation of the mini tool you can add custom races to the Races.txt found in the LSX Files folder that comes with the tool. It uses the files in this folder for the tool. So you might want to backup this folder before editing just in case of any mistakes.
| |
| | |
| When you open the Races.txt you will be met with this:
| |
| | |
| RaceUUID so you can quickly replace the above with your desired race
| |
| Drow: 4f5d1434-5175-4fa9-b7dc-ab24fba37929
| |
| Dwarf: 0ab2874d-cfdc-405e-8a97-d37bfbb23c52
| |
| Elf: 6c038dcb-7eb5-431d-84f8-cecfaf1c0c5a
| |
| Githyanki: bdf9b779-002c-4077-b377-8ea7c1faa795
| |
| Gnome: f1b3f884-4029-4f0f-b158-1f9fe0ae5a0d
| |
| HalfElf/Drow: 45f4ac10-3c89-4fb2-b37d-f973bb9110c0
| |
| Halfling: 78cd3bcc-1c43-4a2a-aa80-c34322c16a04
| |
| Human: 0eb594cb-8820-4be6-a58d-8be7a1a98fba
| |
| Tiefling: b6dccbed-30f3-424b-a181-c4540cf38197
| |
| Dragonborn: 9c61a74a-20df-4119-89c5-d996956b6c66
| |
| Half-Orc: 5c39a726-71c8-4748-ba8d-f768b3c11a91
| |
|
| |
| Modded Races
| |
| Race Name: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
| |
|
| |
| To add a new race to the list add them like above. Name of the race and then colon and the RaceUUID
| |
| | |
| The top lines you might recognise as the uuids from the bottom of the CharacterCreationAppearanceVisuals in my template. This is because the way I set it up is it reads first the name and anything that follows after the : should be the race uuid.
| |
| | |
| So to add custom races you can add them under Modded Races, you can add them to the top list as well as I just separated them for ease of use.
| |
| | |
| So you would follow the same format and type the name you want to show up in the dropdown menu and followed straight by a : and then space and then the UUID for your/that custom race.
| |
| | |
| ==== Minitool 32 CCAV Entries all at Once option ====
| |
| So if making a hair for all races and you would prefer using the CCAV file you can use the 32 CCAV Entries all at Once option to add them all at once to the 32 entries needed to add them to vanilla races that use hairs. So all minus Dragonborn.
| |
| | |
| When that is open it looks like this:
| |
| | |
| [[File:Ccav32entries.webp|500px]]
| |
| | |
| SO first what you want to do is click Generate Unique Handle or copy in the handle you made in your localisation file and once in click the button that says Update.
| |
| | |
| Always press update once you are finished with a section.
| |
| | |
| You will notice this is missing a few things from the CharacterCreationAppearanceVisuals part of the tool. That is because it is already setup for all the races. So we don't need that dropdown menu here.
| |
| | |
| In the Name section add the name for your asset, this will add a comment to your file so you can better find it when needing to. Press update when your name for your asset is filled in.
| |
| | |
| Slotname works just like the other file.
| |
| | |
| [[File:Ccavslotnamedropdown.webp]]
| |
| | |
| You might need to click twice for the whole list to show. For ours we want to choose Hair. Then click update. But the rest of that list is what else can get added via CCAV. Feel free to add custom ones to the list as well if you have managed to add any custom ones, or any I may have forgotten from the list.
| |
| | |
| VisualResource in your assets merged copy over the uuid we used for the ID line here and then click update.
| |
| | |
| Next click Generate Unique UUIDs this will change every instance of the UniqueUUID line to a unique uuid for each slot. No repeats.
| |
| | |
| We have now setup the file, so next if we don't have an already existing CharacterCreationAppearanceVisuals file we use Save as button. Navigate to the ModName/Public/YourShared/CharacterCreation folder and save your file.
| |
| | |
| If you already have a file use the locate your CharacterCreationAppearanceVisuals.lsx button and navitagte to your file. Once setup the bottom box will change to your path. Now you can click Add to your mod file if you want to add new slots to an already existing file.
| |
| | |
| Congrats you have made your CharacterCreationAppearanceVisuals with the mini tool for all 32 vanilla slots.
| |
| | |
| ==== Adding modded races to the Minitool 32 CCAV Entries all at Once option ====
| |
| If you want to add custom/modded races to the 32 slot option, it is possible all you need to do is go to the LSX Files folder included with the tool (make sure to make a backup folder just in case) and edit CharacterCreationAppearanceVisuals_ForAll.lsx
| |
| | |
| In here you will find comments such as <!-- Masc_Strong "" --> and then race specific comments. I do this for organistation of the file. it does nothing in the game.
| |
| | |
| Copy any of the entries so for example:
| |
| | |
| <!-- Tiefling -->
| |
| <node id="CharacterCreationAppearanceVisual">
| |
| <attribute id="BodyShape" type="uint8" value="0" />
| |
| <attribute id="BodyType" type="uint8" value="0" />
| |
| <attribute id="DisplayName" type="TranslatedString" handle="h70718c5dg76b9g402cgbe76ge5b2d9abaa1f" version="1" />
| |
| <attribute id="RaceUUID" type="guid" value="b6dccbed-30f3-424b-a181-c4540cf38197" />
| |
| <attribute id="SlotName" type="FixedString" value="Hair" />
| |
| <attribute id="UUID" type="guid" value="259cf9c6-c6f1-4265-b4b8-dd45f2a3772f" />
| |
| <attribute id="VisualResource" type="guid" value="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" />
| |
| </node>
| |
| | |
| Once copied we want to change the RaceUUID line to the UUID of the custom/modded race.
| |
| | |
| <attribute id="BodyType" type="uint8" value="1" />
| |
| | |
| Copy again the whole piece and then for the fem form if the race has one as this is currently set up for masc, change the Bodytype from 0 to 1 for fem.
| |
| | |
| <attribute id="BodyShape" type="uint8" value="1" />
| |
| | |
| copy again if the race has a strong bodyshape and change bodyshape value from 0 to 1. If the default shape is the strong shape then leave it at 0.
| |
| | |
| And that is all that needs changing. Nothing in my code needs changing so you don't need to worry abuot that, copy these sections as much as you need. And then use the tool as normal and it will edit the 32 vanilla entries plus all the modded entries you added.
