I repacked it, hope it's okay, R.

Fixed.  Thanks.

yes.

it doesn't work that way. only the one specific midwife on hydro2 will be replaced, nothing else.

old saves from hydroponics will not work, you need to install the mod before you enter the level for the first time.

Thanks Voodoo

I have both Rebirth (latest) and ADaoB (also latest). Can I use this?
And if yes, how do I prioritise in Blue's MM?

Is it possible to use this model as replacement for regular midwives?

there is already a request for all this at the Engineering.

//actually not for everything. let me fix that.

Can this be done for the other explicitly Named NPC's? IE make Diego look more distinct

What? Diego already has a unique model.

I think you also find an audio log ON that midwife. Much like you find an audiolog on a Hybrid that's of Turnbull losing her mind.

Frankly the hybrid models in the original look less 'male' and more 'work exploded the chest and the body got reformed into generic bulky thing that sortof resembles human.'

Simi-related question.
Can this be done for the other explicitly Named NPC's? IE make Diego look more distinct, Tommy. Rebecca, Polito, etc. Make them all use something other than the generic male/female crewmember models.

And have that or at least the flags folded into ADaoB.

Well, alrighty then. Fixed.

FYI, the mod has been fixed to work with the latest SS2Tool by changing the folder and path names to DataPermMods from DataPermanentMods.

Check the first post for the updated file.

Let me know about distortions, sinking into the floor or any weird limb angles that look wrong.  I can possibly tweak them out.

That should be changed.  The older versions of ss2tool had datapermanentmods.  It is now datapermmods so you're right.  I should fix that.

Apologies for bumping a topic that hasn't been replied to in a while, not sure if RocketMan even still browses, but:

Is it possible that this mod might be extended so it replaces all other instances of the Cyborg Midwife? As it seems this is the closest we have to a proper mod which rigs and uses the Eldron Midwife model.

Sure, just rename the bloom.*** files to fembot.*** and drop all files and folders into DataPermMods\mesh\, overwriting exisiting (Rebirth) files.

Hm...I just tried the FM selector and I am not quite sure about it: It is definitely great for playing fan missions (which seems to be its primary purpose) but choosing mods? It seems you can only "play" one mod at a time.

And the thing about permanent mods: Mod Manger tells me exactly which mod overrides another mod. Doing it manually removes that information, let alone the more permanent solution this is.

But to be honest: As long as System SHock 2 has a rather limited selection of mods, this isn't really a problem I have to admit

there is a pdf included in the newdark documentation. but to make it short:
-edit cam_mod.ini, remove the ; from the fm line
-create a FMs folder in your shock2 folder
-create an ADAOB folder inside the FMs folder
-extract ADAOB there (and go to obj, and delete Atek_H.bin if you want to use Tacticool)
-run the game, a (wild) FM select screen should appear
-launch the mod

just tried it (graphics enhancements and the bloome mod in the DataPermanentMods, ADAOB in the FMs folder), everything works nicely. and I also believe this (using DataPermanentMods for the permanent graphics enhancements, and the built in FM selector for gameplay mods) is probably the way to go.

first - do not change anything. extract the mod to your shock2 folder, overwrite, mod is installed.

second - yes, they will complete each other.

third - you should probably ditch the modmanager in the near future, and start using DataPermanentMods for the permanent graphics enhancements, and the built in FM selector for gameplay mods (ADAOB, Secmod etc).

combining the dmls is not necessary, and can break things when done incorrectly. modmanager will not see the mod, this is normal, as it is meant to be installed manually (extracting the archive to the root folder should be all that is necessary). I have just tried it out, and it works - but remember, if you are loading from a previous hydro save, this will NOT work, you will either have to start a new game or use a save that has been made before you entered hydro for the first time.

to test whether the mod actually works, you can do following:
-edit cam.cfg, add first_level hydro2.mis
-start a new game
-you will be spawned on hydro, rush to Bloome, and see whether she uses the new model

note: I think the model is a bit smaller than it should be - maybe we could make her larger.

Just noting here that I made the change to cam_mod.ini that allows DMLs to be loaded from DataPermanentMods only last night. Only someone who reinstalled since then will have it. Everyone else will have to change the last line in cam_mod.ini for this mod to work to: mod_path DataPermanentMods+patch_ext

Ok, with a little help from Voodoo, I've got a new upload in the first post.  This uses a DML file to do the same thing as the mis file would have done except now it doesn't matter what .mis file you have or want to use, this will tack onto that.

Silver83: If you had ADAOB installed before you tried this mod, recommend going into your DataPermanentMods folder, deleting hydro2.mis (because that was part of the old bloome mod) and replacing it with the ADAOB version again.  Re-installing ADAOB alltogether will also fix this.  Once you have the original ADAOB mis file in that folder again, dump this new mod into your system shock root directory and it will automatically place the files where they need to go.  The DML will then apply itself to the ADAOB hydro2.mis file if you have installed ADAOB or to the original mis file in the root directory.

I'm using ADaoB as well...but of course I didn't enter for the frist time I'll wait for the next version. Thx
