About this mod

A tool I am creating to make editing these files a less of a strain on the eyes that I want to share with others.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
Welcome to the start of my BG3 Mini tool.

Highly suggest the use of BG3 Modders Multi-tool and its required Lslib alongside this
such as packing up your mod after you have finished editing your files

For an alternative on swapping texture seams I suggest this python script by LazyIcarus 
Especially handy for batch conversions.

If you want to check my code it is public here on github

More About what this Tool

A tool I am creating to make editing these files a less of a strain on the eyes that I want to share with others.

This is a very WIP tool and I am only one person who is learning how to code as I make this tool. I use books I bought, internet tutorials as well as help from ChatGPT, it helped me work out the exact math required to properly assign version numbers from the int64 that will show correctly in bg3 mod manager. I have autism and social phobia so asking a bot what I might have done wrong or for maths is very much an accessibility thing for me.

Things already included:
  • create a new meta.lsx
  • New Head/Horn/Hair slots
  • folder creation for lsx locations
  • Colour wheel that shows Hex and converts it also to sRGB 0 to 1.0 converter
  • separate version number generator in the tools tab with the colour wheel with a save as option to save to existing meta's
  • mass replace uuids/handles (always save a copy of your mod elsewhere just as a precaution like when using any other tools)
  • localisation editor
  • creating 32 entries for CCAV (or more if the CharacterCreationAppearanceVisuals_ForAll.lsx is added to add more between the <children></children>
  • adding vfx files for heads to fix speak with the dead and such not working

Things I hope to include:
  • New Hairs slots
  • New Beards slots
  • New Hair Colours (Main, Greying and Highlights)
  • New Makeup Colours
  • New Tattoo Colours
  • New Eye Colours
  • Editing certain NPC's such as companions

What this tool won't do:
  • It will not edit pre-existing files.
    • what this means is that the files you edit in this tool are new.
    • The tool can add some things to pre-existing files but as of right now it will not load and edit pre-existing files
  • it will not create mesh files for you
  • it won't edit files that I have 0 idea how they work

Download

I have ran my tool through all things I have, sadly Chrome is throwing an error however if you click Send/Scan it will come up as safe. Just wanted to give a heads up this may happen via Chrome. Feel free to check out my code via the github link above if you want to double check.
