How difficult do chu fink it would be?

Depends on how well you know how to work with 3D and blender.
If you have at least basic knowledge, then ‘transplanting’ the already edited head from this mod to the body of a regular Hive Prince will not be so difficult. Then it will remain only to edit the .xml file with the list of sliders (for character creation), so that they appear and work in the game.

The community has some basic guides on how to work with the game file format.

Could a buffoon like me do it, or am I gonna has to seek help from le community pages? :Dogeface:
Azazellz  [author] 9 Jul @ 8:26am 
Is it possible
Possible.
But since I don't make mods for Kenshi anymore, it can only be done by someone else.

Is it possible to make dis head a variant fir standard hive prince? :doge:

I really like the head crest, but I prefer my buggo’s genderless. :donpug:

Can we get a male mesh for compatibility with hiver armors?

It won't help.
Since this is an addon for the Hive Prince race, and it adds a female gender to that race.
As a result, if you replace the female mesh with a male one, all other armor (not exclusively designed for hivers) will have clipping.
The only correct solution here is to create separate female models for the hiver armors.

alright,
I might do this but I dont know if I will
Azazellz  [author] 12 Jun @ 12:26am 
how do you make a male prince have the crown?

You'll need to redo the male model in the 3d editor, adding the crown, plus the data for morphs/key shapes.
And then linking it with an xml file for the character editor so the changes can be displayed in game as sliders.

Not too difficult if you know how to work with Blender and know some basics.

Ah ok. I will try to find info on that. Thanks.
Azazellz  [author] 22 Mar @ 12:42pm 
I was just intending to ask if it is hard or a total noob (like me), can do it.
Oh, you mean this.
Well, you'll need knowledge of how to work with 3d models, and knowledge of a 3d editor like Blender.
As I understand it, the armour from that mod simply doesn't have a female model, so you'll need to make one.

This will require you to adapt the geometry (appearance) of the armour first. This is not that difficult.

And you'll also need to rig those meshes to the female ‘skeleton’ so that the armour moves and deforms properly, as well as working with the character editor. That's the harder part.

I think when I started modding Kenshi myself, there was something on this topic in the community tutorials section.

You can also find something useful on official and community Discord servers.

Also, sorry if it came out wrong english is not my first language. I was just intending to ask if it is hard or a total noob (like me), can do it.
Rachel L 22 Mar @ 12:02pm 
its just that the armors he add clip trough the breasts They work, like the mesh is ignoring the boobs.

Is it too hard to get a patch to make mogwai hive overhaul
Considering I've never played with this mod, have no idea what it does, and haven't played Kenshi in years... Yes =)
Rachel L 22 Mar @ 11:51am 
Is it too hard to get a patch to make mogwai hive overhaul (its back but he has hidden now, idk why, but you can still see and sub to it if you check his profile) so his armor meshes follow the new body?
Azazellz  [author] 18 Feb @ 2:43pm 
There's no quick fix here.

Sliders have two parts - a morph part with the 3d object in a separate file, and a text part that adds that to the game.

While you can simply copy the text part from one file to another, for the morphs themselves you'll need to combine all the shape-keys (which define exactly how the faces should morph) in a software like Blender.

If you do not do this, whichever set of sliders (for a particular race) is lower on your mod list will apply. The game cannot merge this automatically as it works with most other mods.

Great mod also the also the other cute hive only problem I have is that it turn off many head slider except for the princess, that still have all the head and crown slider, so I cant no longer use eys and mouth slider for all hivers and the skin slider also dissapeared after some time I am using UWE and also the face expanded, radiant face mods so might be a problem on my end but Ive seen a post of someone taking about missing slider too, if someone know a fix would be great
Azazellz  [author] 11 Feb @ 2:09pm 
Supposedly, they should be.
Any NPC who is assigned a Hive-Prince race (even from random list), and who is not assigned a forced male gender (most squads not), could turn out to be a Princess.

But I don't know what the chances of that are in a vanilla game. Princes are pretty rare there.
pixtel 11 Feb @ 1:17pm 
Are they supposed to be female hivers on the world with this mod or you can only create them at the start of the game?
Azazellz  [author] 27 Dec, 2024 @ 3:41pm 
hives expanded
Never used this mod, so I have no idea.
Most likely all armour made exclusively for hivers will not work (unless it has a version for normal human races)
There can be problems with character creation, too.
Wat0m_C0ncav0 27 Dec, 2024 @ 1:27pm 
is this mod compatible with hives expanded?
Azazellz  [author] 24 Dec, 2024 @ 1:37pm 
Not sure what might be causing this
Skinning problem, I suppose. Bones, weights, that sort of thing. Perhaps this particular vertex didn't get the weights for the `neck` bone, and that's why it doesn't work properly.
I'm unlikely to be able to fix that, as it would require editing the model.
Lulu 24 Dec, 2024 @ 11:51am 
I've noticed there seems to be an issue with the neck slider for the Princess (female prince) https://imgur.com/a/qWvmFnp You can see here in the circled part, that bit of neck doesn't move while it's counter part on the other side does. This leaves an odd lump that sticks out and back a bit unless you max out the neck slider
Not sure what might be causing this, but it's exclusive to the Princess subrace/gender so reporting in case this sounds applicable here

Excellent! I don't want cute hive , just these cute bugs . Doing an evil cannibal/slaver run, these look like perfect "kitchen help", hihi. Gonna send out me goon squad to nab some of these ladybugs immediately, my fat little cannibal chef needs some help chopping peepz up in the kitchen^^.

Many thanks for making & sharing this one, keep up the nice work!
Azazellz  [author] 11 Dec, 2024 @ 1:27pm 
don't need cute hive to work
This.

In fact, I even messed up a bit with compatibility, so this mod will break CuteHive's functionality for the Prince race a bit.
It would take some minor edits to the xml file to make them work together.
iriemk 11 Dec, 2024 @ 1:04pm 
Ummmm, either I went stupid or my englsih went bad, but "seperate addon" - is kinda confusing to me. Which is it, seperate -as in, standalone, don't need cute hive to work, or addon , that dpends on Cute Hive to function?

well made
JackJack 25 May, 2024 @ 3:14pm 
I created a mass error-free patch/dummy mod between several Hiver mods which adds Praetorians and Queens to Hiver clades that did not previously have them (either through the original mod or a patch). Cute Hive is a main dependency along with Mogwai Hive Overhaul, Hives Expanded, General Modifications, & Southern Hive Queen and Fog Queen.

It is also configurable to work seamlessly with Princess of Cute Hive and Princess of Cute Hive EXPAND.

Azazellz  [author] 8 May, 2024 @ 6:43am 
yo can someone help??
Load this mod after Cute Hive mod. But in this case, the regular princes will lose their "Cute" slider.

I forgot to make compatibility here.

You can do it yourself, just add the missing line to the "male" section in the `editor_data_stick_prince.xml` file from the `editor` folder (compare their contents, it's pretty simple there).
firstername 8 May, 2024 @ 4:08am 
yo can someone help?? i've been reinstalling this mod over and over but the hive princess doesn't seem to have the cute hive slider at all and i'm not sure what's conflicting with it. i have no other mods that modify hivers in the slightest
Azazellz  [author] 20 Apr, 2024 @ 5:16am 
Is there a way that I can change the mod so that they don't have boobs.
Nope.
Boobs are mandatory =)

No joke, the race is made that way specifically so that it can wear female clothing for humanoid characters, the body of this race mimics the standard female model as much as possible.
All the body sliders from the character creation screen work too, so you can try to remove your character's breasts with them.
However, this will have no effect on the other characters.

Cute mod!
I have a question though: Is there a way that I can change the mod so that they don't have boobs. I appreciate your dedication, but I just don't care for it personally.
I'm guessing it would either be something like swapping the body to a hive prince's, or making it so that the sliders always at 0, or removed? I don't really know if that's possible as I've only messed with the FCS a very little bit. I would appreciate some guidance :]
Azazellz  [author] 23 Mar, 2024 @ 5:22pm 
Where can I find them.

Wherever hive princes are found.
It's literally the female half for the prince race, not a separate race.

Azazellz  [author] 19 Nov, 2023 @ 1:15pm 
So what I am asking is could you help me make a Praetorian version for the mod?

Unfortunately, I don't make mods for Kenshi anymore either, so I can't help here.

Hay Azazellz great mod, but if I may be so bold in asking, could you help me?

The Hives Expanded Mod

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1688546539 - Hives Expanded

Has Praetorians for the Hives and the ACC - Basic Expansion gives it to South Hive

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1651120230 - ACC - Basic
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1888024458 - ACC/Races & HE

Princess Of Cute Hive - EXPAND Mod adds your model to all Hivers

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2451854461 - PoCH - EXP

I am not capable of doing the modeling or modding for it due to my Autism, and Sequoia the maker of the PoCH - EXP mod is no longer modding for Kenshi and other areas i have looked no one will help with this. So what I am asking is could you help me make a Praetorian version for the mod?
Azazellz  [author] 25 Oct, 2023 @ 11:32am 
Anyone know how to edit this mod to make it so female hivers don't spawn in world?

I don't think that's possible. At least not without a noticeable impact on the game.

Princesses are the other half of the Prince race, so any squad that has a chance of having both Princes and female NPCs can have Princesses.

You will have to manually change all such squads (with Princes) by setting the chance of female NPCs to zero.
I don't know how many such squads there are in the game. Such fix could significantly reduce the number of female characters in the game.

The second option is to make a separate race using assets from my mod.
But then you also should make compatibility patches for all animation-related mods.

My question is then to get permission to put it up on the workshop in some way or form.
Feel free to do whatever you want.
ErikRedbeard 5 Jul, 2023 @ 12:15pm 
I've made a personal "Universal Wasteland Expansion" version of "Princess of Cute Hive EXPANDED" that both applies the cute hive faces and the female (body) to all the Hive races in said mod.

I did ask there first, but the author doesn't seem to be active in the mod chat anymore.
And since the author gives full credits to you I probably should ask it here anyway.

My question is then to get permission to put it up on the workshop in some way or form.
