CharGen Resources Tutorial

For most cases you only need to add to the AVM Simple Groups or AVM Modulation Groups. Skin Tones, Eyebrows, Jewelry, Hair and Beards require a bit more

work. I also recommend you set the "minver" of your mod to the latest version available. At the time of writing the latest version is "minver=115"

Example for a RTFP mod.

SimpleGroup_EyeColor|add_entr(1:"nyvrak_eye_color_test":"textures/actors/human/faces/eyes/iris_test_color.dds")

SimpleGroup_Chargen_EyeColor|add_entr(1:"nyvrak_eye_color_test":"textures/actors/human/faces/eyes/iris_test_color.dds")

FormID List

"0003D9B0" is the FormID of the FormID List HeadPartsChargenOptionsFemale and "0003D9AF" is the FormID of the FormID List HeadPartsChargenOptionsMale , "Test.esm" is the name of the plugin, "00843" is the headpart Human_Female_Hair_Test   with it's first three digits removed. , "0084C" is the headpart "Human_Male_Hair_Test " with it's first three digits removed.

Simple Groups

Adding to character options that use AVM Simple Groups. The text below adds a new type of lipstick.

SimpleGroup_Lipstick1|add_entr(1:"nyvrak_lipstick_test":"textures/actors/human/faces/chargen/postblenddetails/lipstick1/lipstick_test.dds")

SimpleGroup_Chargen_Lipstick1|add_entr(1:"nyvrak_lipstick_test":"textures/actors/human/faces/chargen/postblenddetails/lipstick1/lipstick_test.dds")

"SimpleGroup_Lipstick1" is the name of the group, "nyvrak_lipstick_test" is the name of the entry. "textures/actors/human/faces/chargen/postblenddetails/lipstick1/lipstick_test.dds" is the path where the texture that is used is located.

Complex Groups

Adding to character options that use AVM Complex Groups. The text below adds the simple group "SimpleGroup_Eyebrows_Test" to the complex group "ComplexGroup_EyebrowColor". This makes the simple group available for color mapping for headparts.

ComplexGroup_EyebrowColor|add_entr(2:"Eyebrows_Test":"SimpleGroup_Eyebrows_Test")

"ComplexGroup_EyebrowColor" is the name of the group, "Eyebrows_Test" is the name of the entry. "SimpleGroup_Eyebrows_Test" is the name of the simple group that is added to the complex group.
