📋 About This Mod

The official and legal port of Axepriests Face Aches now for Fallout New Vegas! What follows now, is Axepriest\'s original readme from FO3Nexus. Endorsements for this file are disabled because I merely did the port. If you want to show your appreciation, please do it here: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6709 Very special thanks to Axepriest - for creating the mod and kindly giving me the permission to port it! LHammonds and Myrmaad - For helping me with some legal issues KDStudios - for their FO3 -> NV porting tutorial Thanks for reading SariDecember __________________________________________________________ And now, Axepriests unabriged readme from the FO3 mod: DESCRIPTION ----------- This Mod adds 27 replacing facial expressions (fe01 � fe27 see appendix a below), 43 combining facial morphs (fm01 � fm43 see appendix b below) that can be mixed and matched, and an example kf which I�ve added facial animation to (fa01). I created this for my own use and to learn how to create facial animations for gameplay mods but, I thought someone else may find a use for it so I�m posting it here. Don�t expect much out of the facial expression files as they will look decidedly different depending on the race, gender and age of the character you use them on. They were designed for the vanilla adult female head mesh but I tried to make them all fairly generic. The differences are due to the variations in the meshes and textures used for PCs/NPCs. IMO the best way to use this mod is to set a facial expression, tailor it to your tastes, by adding removing or tweaking the various facial morphs until it looks right for your character, then combine it with a pose or animation. The expression you set on your PC will stick there even when sneaking, jumping or with a weapon out, so it can be used to permanently change your characters face without altering any of your base facegen values. I\'m not bothered about ratings or credit so use this mod however you like, I\'ll just be glad if someone can find a use for it. INSTALLATION ------------ Extract the files in faff_280509. 7z to your Fallout3\\data\\ folder UNINSTALL --------- Delete faff_280509. 7z and meshes\\characters\\male\\_idleanims\\Expressions\\.* This mod updates the vanilla skeleton to include references to all the facial morphs built into the tri files and edits some of the idle animations to force them to display facial morph data. Although this should have no effect on your game, if you want to be sure, then extract and replace the following files from your meshes BSA after you uninstall. data\\meshes\\characters\\_male\\skeleton.nif data\\meshes\\characters\\_male\\sneakmtidle.kf data\\meshes\\characters\\_male\\sneak1hmidle.kf data\\meshes\\characters\\_male\\h2hidle.kf data\\meshes\\characters\\_male\\1hmidle.kf data\\meshes\\characters\\_male\\locomotion\\mtidle
