Regarding Bodyslide

[Arthas889]

If I build the body and batch build all the outfits for that body then repeat the same process for other bodies, will npcs use all the bodies I built in bodyslide? or would it only use the most recently built bodyslide.

Unless you are using a body shape randomizer mod (and don't ask me about them, I don't use one), the default result of a batch build is the latest bodyslide output will overwrite existing meshes. So your last batch build will be what you see in-game.

I've yet to find a decent Youtube tutorial on the use of bodyslide*.


* That was a unsubtle hint for all you budding genius's out there who CAN use bodyslide and CAN present a good, idiot proof, step by step video on how to use it properly.

I recall watching a video, many moons ago, on how to use it and the person at the start said that they'd already gotten the armour they wanted displayed in Bodyslide. But failed to say how they managed to get it displayed.
However. The rest of the video was nigh on useless anyway.

These ain't vids, but they are very good tutorials:

You can only generate 1 body at a time. Running BodySlide again will overwrite the meshes.
To have multiple body shapes you need to use OBody and generate zeroed slider meshes in BodySlide.
