QuiteTheTail

Importing the face data is pretty straightforward using Wrye Bash (get this tool, if you still don't have it). I learned from this guide: http://www.shsforums.net/topic/26340-properly-transfering-faces/   If you have a savegame with the character you want, check what mods were in use, and install them (beware, those mods could conflict with your own, so be careful) or try to remove the dependencies with a program like TES4Gecko (be even more careful). This is absolutely necessary, otherwise as soon as you load the savegame Oblivion will crash, because of missing .esm (master) files.

I copied the short size files from Setbody, and the anims look acceptable, even with the slight difference in angle. Besides, adjusting positions with the hotkeys doesn't bother me at all. I do it very often, since I have done nothing to uniformate race heights. Wood elves could use a ladder, sometimes, especially with Nords or High Elves   @ Deadsomething, fejeena Mine is just a test, the LAPF resources are perfectly ok, I had no reason to hack those files other than appeasing my curiosity. Having some extra boners options, even not animated, won't hurt. Imagine this case: you create a custom animated penis and want to test it or use it in game. You can use one of the extra options available as a quick way to add your custom replacer.   As for Setbody, in my opinion it would be easier to make LAPF use Setbody assets, rather than the contrary. But frankly, I don't see a big need of doing it. Hey guys... how the heck we ended up talking about boners? This is LoversRapers thread...

There is yet another problem with mirroring. The UV of the reflected side is the same as the original half (they overlap). This is not much of a problem, provided that the texture is symmetrical (and often this is the case). If there are asymmetries in the base texture, however, this must be dealt with.   I'm now using a different tecnique, that preserves bone weights and UV: 1. separate 2. remove doubles (taking care of the normals) 3. mend seams 4. export.   After removing double vertices in the blend file, the exported nif finallly shows the correct UV:     To get both halves in distinct nif blocks, the trick is setting two distinct material properties, and then restore the right value in the exported nif.  

Granted... But it falls to you to deal with the bandits ("I'll rip you heart out!", "I'll paint the snow with you blood", and so on).   I wish I could heal the sick and those who suffer.

Granted, but you are completely undecided about all the rest.   I wish I was more skilled at modding.

Just try them and see what happens, it all makes sense after a while. I have still some doubts left, as you can see.   @ gregathit, fejeena I found a lazy method to "animate" asbonersv5 (to replace them, in fact). Simply copying Setbody _AP resources for Robert v5 in the asbonersv5 folder, renaming them to replace the default ones. Those penis resources are not exactly matching (the crotch position is a bit different), but are very similar, and they should work (I haven't tested them in game yet).   P.S. They work!

Only the second option is viable, I think, and it can be quite useful. Setting the sex through the CS restricts you to use only two genders. When I created my first transgender companion I set his sex as male, has he had male genitals, but all the remaining atrributes were female. This was accomplished using Blockead and a custom race (more details here). This has several advantages (cum settings are effective on such a character, to make just one example), and dialogues more fitting and immersive. I had also copied vanilla female voice files into the custom race, to make the character more feminine. The downside: such characters can only use male equipment (not fitting to the body) or special equipment, or female equipment designed as unisex (without the female variant in CS) such as Nailflan's Harness Wear or Impractical Bodysuit, for instance.   Using your suggested approach instead, one can mantain the vanilla sex (no more need to create a custom race), set a custom body as female in Setbody, but of corse this would require a massive rewriting of every LAPF mod... and I don't think there is too much interest about these modifications.   If I was a bit more experienced and prepared, I would gladly help you, but I feel that this endeavour would be a bit over my head.

I always appreciate a good boner Seriously, I'll take a look at lapf alternate male bodies. Thanks.

Welcome back... these screenshots are outstanding, they are worth the waiting.

I'm trying things... odd things. And of corse, I get odd results. Why these two meshes have the same geometry (or so I think, aside from symmetry) but different UV map?   Screenshots:     The second UV map was created using UV Unwrap>Unwrap.

I always thought asboners were animated. That expains some things (like penis popping out of the partner's body etc...). What if I added penis bones and weights to them through Nifskope and Mesh Rigger? I rarely use custom bodies for males. If I did, the penis would be animated by LoversJoystick. But in this case, since I use Robert v5 muscular (my default male body) almost exclusively, all depends on the default LAPF mesh chosen, as you said. So the answer is certainly "no". I think I'll have to change that setting.

We should use spoiler tags when possible, especially for images. Like this: [spoiler]your content here[/spoiler] Recreating exactly that character face with facegen will be difficult, and I don't use OCO2 (which is required I think). So sorry, I can't help you. If you find a savegame, importing the face data with Wrye bash should be easy, though.   

The duplicate vertices in fact were the source of all the problems. About mirroring, I learned the hard way that it must be used with caution. It mirrors also the bone weighting! The weights must be copied back from the full mesh, or rebuilt.

Not that I know of. A gameplay tip: keep your magic weapon always at zero charge and use it like a normal weapon. When you need more power (too many enemies or bosses) recharge it, more or less based on the situation. Works better if you have filled soulgems of all sizes in your inventory.  

I finally begin to understand how things work with UV. The UV map is not something that can be "corrected" (except a few cases, like adapting an existing texture to a slightly different mesh). If it shows problems, then the original model was defective. I'm now editing the left side of the mesh to remove any errors left.

This is definitely better (was obtained marking a vertical seam along the inner side of the leg, same unwrap method):   Some extra work is needed to rectify some points in the UV. I'm doing this because the left side had this strange UV effect in the exported nif:     This is why I'm attempting to get a better UV map.   P.S. The UV image from Nifskope was taken before I cleaned the meshes, finding several double vertices. I have to try to re-export the clean mesh and see if it happens again.  

Yes, I did. I will attach my ini files, you may find the differences with your own and perhaps discover some useful information. ini.7z Contains Lovers with PK.ini and LoversRaperS_Custom.ini (the one I use). LSTGameSettings.ini is not relevant (contains only infos related to training speed and pricing), so I didn't include it.   I totally agree with greg, this is certainly not a problem related to LoversRapers, but I had no way of knowing. Other mods probably flag certain activities as "harmful", and this triggers my problems. One last example (and after this, I will shut up for good... sorry for being such a jerk): you can tell a slave to sell flowers, let's just say at the Silver Vine tavern. No problems if the slave is the only follower, even with "rape as attack" on (occasionally there could be some spellcasting, but no combat). However, if other members of the slave faction are present, they will start combat. Of corse this could be a problem with my current settings and again, removing the LAPF crime option solves all the problems.  

Yes, as a temporary solution, this is the way to go.

My description is incomplete, I apologize. There are several situations in game that are not actual "combat sex", but are handled as rape. Example: proposing someone to "sample/buy a flower" when you have a slavery mod installed and you have a follower (try with Edgar Vautrine at "Discount Spells", he's a conjurer). Turn off "rape is an attack" and Edgar will act normally.   My CM companions don't count, as I know that CM companion mod is not supported, but they also cast spells during the gangrape of bandits.   P.S. LoversRapers.esp is loaded before Lovers with PK.esp  in my LO, but Bravil underground and LST are after... I'm gonna try moving those two before LAPF to see if it has any impact on the issue, if not, I will check the scripts myself too.

All right, then. I have nothing ready at the moment, I thought it was better to ask before preparing some content.  

Is there a way to prevent NPCs from casting spells and summon creatures, mantaining LAPF setting "rape is an assault" On?

1) Katsumi (or Kasumi)?   Will you accept only Dragonborns? How about Heroes of Kvatch (Oblivion characters)?

Granted, but you cannot control exactly the times this occurs (it may be during... the act).   I wish I had a lot of attention from women.

Granted, but you are deemed responsible and forced to do the cleanup. Without assistance.   I wish I could go back in time twenty years.

No problem, and thanks for caring.
