Which body parts are where? |
Last documented edit: January 06 2024 by manavortex
This page lists various properties of the player body. Use the Table of Contents or your browser's search (Hotkey: Ctrl+F) to quickly find what you're looking for. Any links will lead you to additional context.
You can find the list of skin tones, hair and facial expressions under cheat-sheet-head
The details on arms can be found under cheat-sheet-arms.md
When editing body mods, you need to edit both the mesh and the morphtarget.
There is no dedicated guide yet, but you can refer to a-new-head-for-v.md.
For a list and explanation of body mods, check the overlay-list.md page.
{% hint style="success" %} While you can use this information to show/hide parts of the player body via chunkmasks, you might consider using ArchiveXL tags instead. {% endhint %}

Find this information under cheat-sheet-head.
{% hint style="info" %} For a list of #skin-tones-by-index, see cheat-sheet-head {% endhint %}
Skin materials are defined in the individual body files. For their paths, see #player-base-body.
You can find the definitions in the localMaterialBuffer. Each material overrides the following properties locally:
- Normal (bump/height map)
- Albedo (diffuse/complexion)
All other properties are pulled from a .mi file in the following folder:
| female body gender | base\characters\common\skin\character_mat_instance\female\body\ |
| male body gender | base\characters\common\skin\character_mat_instance\male\body\ |
The names of the body's material instance files are identical to those used by the player head. Find them under #head-material-instances.
If you want to make a body mod, you need to modify the following files.
Please do clothing modders a favour either fit your body to vanilla proportions, or register a tag for archivexl-body-mods-and-refits right away!
