VERSION 1.1
→ I was alerted to an issue with tb2 compatibility (thank you for reaching out) and it turns out something silly happened to mat_c. this has ideally been fixed, please redownload!!

if you are not on version 1.1, you will not have scales compatible with GEN2 bodies, including TB2.

new .ttmp2 is in the mega folder, or you can download it here.

hello. welcome back 2 our modpage where we (bloodmoon mods) bring u yet another scale set but this time people asked for it? anyway.

hi. this is the TBSE port of devil’s backbone.

Devil’s Backbone is a fuller-coverage scale mod originally developed for personal use, now released to the masses with a tweaked layout. It’s meant to evoke a feeling like armor, with smoother normals and larger plates. we joke that it’s dragonborn’s edgier sister lmaoooo

As per usual, if you find issues with the modpack, u can message quinn on twitter i guess.

IMPORTANT NOTE: due to the nature of this mod, there’s some fine seams where… well, where there’s seams. we’ve done our best to mitigate this and generally speaking, you shouldn’t be able to see them unless you’re REALLY LOOKING. if you noticed the seams on dragonborn, they’re about the same here. Don’t come for usssssssssss we are humannnnnnnnnnn pixel limitations happennnnnnnnnnnn

same scale mod BUT:

→ Layout changed slightly to better suit the pixel real estate of TBSE – it should, overall, look the same, but it IS a little different!!

—————-

it’s a useful help section :D

→ yuria’s neck connector fix for a seamless seam (mostly)

→ yuria’s tutorial on how to overlay in penumbra only

→ Atramentum Luminis, so you can use the mat_b layout on vanilla

🖪 DISCLAIMERS

→ KNOWN ISSUE: there’s a VERY SLIGHT mismatch in colours between the head and body on TBSE. we’ve tried to mitigate this as much as possible, but it is there.

→ TBSE has some weird pixel real estate in some places, so if you upscale this from the default/use Custo+ it WILL STRETCH. please don’t complain to us about this it is just the nature of how mods work

→ all maps are TBSE default in the installer. Normal overlays are in the dev files so you can put it on whatever TBSE-BASED BODY you like.

→ This mod uses the vanilla shaders and is not body hair compatible. If you port this to another body – IE TBSE-X, Killer Bod, etc, make sure the base mod for Devil’s Backbone is higher priority than that mod.

TBSE functions with the Hrothgar shader, which kills the shine of multis, so we’re using the default skin shader. USE UPSCALED VANILLA MULTIS WHEN PORTING TO OTHER BODIES, FACES, AND RACES.

also yeah, we killed body hair dye compatibility. you can still import the diffuse overlay, but it won’t dye with yr hair colour lol that was tied to the Hroth shader. ANYWAY

🗁 CONTENTS

→ hand-painted scale map in all seven of our usual colours.
** note: grey is no longer the same as it was in dragonborn; the two tones are no longer compatible.

→ matching faces on a vanilla(ish) layout, new neck seam

→ dev files through the link, including the BW base for recolours and the plain neck seam scales for porting (or scaleless faces)

🖪 INFORMATION

→ THIS MOD IS AU RA SPECIFIC. There is no scaleless neck layout.

→ True white is universal. It is the cool-toned white of most mods.

→ The neck is not vanilla compatible, nor is it compatible with other scale mods. pleaaaaaase please please use the included face overlays/neck overlays. please. it looks silly if you just use vanilla scales :(
** This DOES mean it is not compatible with mods like “The Dragon Within”. (please don’t ask us to make it compatible tyvm)

→ this mod is for TB-BASED BODIES. The included options are the pure defaults – if you upsize the model, there’ll be stretching.

→ There are transparent files of the normals and multis, so feel free to use your favourite base.

→ if you use these, feel free to use #bloodmoonmods so we can see!!
