Unique Player Hairs

this mod has been completely overhauled since versions 1 & 2, so I suggest that you delete all of the old mod files and any mgraphs you were using (the files will be harmless if left in their folders, however, as they do not alter default game textures)

please read the changelog for update information

WHAT THIS MOD DOES

this mod introduces a unique file path system for player hairs and hair accessories so that they will NOT affect NPCs (turning them bald, etc).  this mod also includes many different hairstyles, both player and NPC, converted to this new system to be used as "building blocks" for creating unique hairstyles.  if you are only interested in using the mod as-is, then just download the main file and any hair packs you'd like to use!  more information on personal customization will be explained further down

INSTALL PATH

copy/drag the 'blue' folder into your 'AFOP' directory

'blue/graph objects/gear' <-- drop any '.mgraphobject' files in your 'gear' folder

delete any words in (parentheses) from the beginning of file names when installing

UNINSTALLING

CTRL+F search in your 'blue' folder for 'UPH', then delete every file that uses that string

delete mgraphobjects from 'blue/graph objects/gear' like normal

ADDITIONAL CUSTOMIZATION

this mod IS compatible with pre-existing recolors/retextures of hair accessories (for example, Neytiri's Feathers by elfinpy) ONLY IF you follow this mod's naming conventions and place the files in the correct folders

file for feathers used by player hairs is located within 'blue\baked\characterart\player\hair\p_hair_00\textures' and is named 'p_hair_UPHCUSTOM01_d.dds'

hair accessory files for Etuwa, Nefika, Nesim, So'lek, Minang, Kataru, and Kukulope are located within 'blue\baked\characterart\npc\custom\UPH_01\textures' and are named with their NPC identifier (cus_##)

hair accessory files for generic hairbands and some NPCs are located within 'blue\baked\characterart\player\hair\shared' and are named with their NPC identifier (cus_##) where applicable

for retexture files, simply rename the file to match the way it is spelled in this mod, including case sensitivity
