The Sload Race

I just had an idea for the sload race:

What if we make separate working body parts for them, and then we duplicate the _male file containing all of the race meshes and stuff, and we replace the default body parts in our duplicate folder, and we load the NPC Skeletons from there. Would that work?

If you are making a custom mesh then you will need to rig it to the skeleton. Otherwise it wont move!

Yeah, that's the whole point of it, but we make the new mesh, stick it in a different folder, and load the mesh from there, it might use the sload mesh with all of the other races using their default meshes. I haven't tried it yet, but it may work.

*hasn't done anything like this at all*
What if they just wore a huge unplayable suit that looked exactly like a sload? Would that work?

It *could* work, but the skelleton would mess it up, because it isn't wide enough to support how fat the Sloads are, so you'd get the arms bleeding into the stomach.

I don't know, maybe it could work somewhat if we assign the skeleton at different spots, leaving a smaller forearm and longer.....arm region between the shoulder and the elbow. Then they would also be able to talk just like all the other races with a new head mesh which any race can do. So we'll pretty much compress the limbs and increase the girth of the torso and stuff, and it will hopefuly work.

Well they are supernaturally morbidly obese, right? So we need to make them really, really, really fat with short stubby arms and legs and a speed of like 5.

They need to be able to swim fairly fast though, how can we take care of that?

Scripted spell as race ability, increases speed while in water/using breathmeter.

I don't know about the big guys on land. They don't look like they can swim at all. The little ones definately, but those will be creatures using the slaughterfish animation I'm pretty sure. But if it says they can swim, we give them a swim speed spell or something.
