Before asking questions or posting bug reports please keep in mind that this mod is only a revamp of Praveen's Tinkerbell and it changes very little other than appearance. Please direct your comments and concerns appropriately, thank you.
I apologize for so many changes being made on short notice, I should have play tested Praveen's Tinkerbell mod more before releasing Etna. All of the kinks are now worked out and she should function without any issues. Nothing was "wrong" with any of the previous versions except for a bug with Etna being on the marriage faction which has been resolved. Other than that all changes were to her dialogue only.
I just downloaded and tested Etna and generally she's excellent, thank you! But did you intend her to be redheaded as my version is blond? I'm also getting the curved marks above the hips that shows the body / armour is not set right. I'm using the Dark Lilith as linked so I guess it is just a matter of adjustment? (Actually I can see the flaw in your mod photos...).
Any tips gratefully received. I love the ways she flies about!
Tinkerbell is blond, make sure you install Praveen's Tinkerbell mod first THEN install Etna after it. If you ware using Mod Organizer make sure Etna is below Tinkerbell in the left column. Etna should have red hair just like the pictures on this page.
Post of screenshot of exactly what you are talking about concerning the body/armor problem and I will look into it.
Thanks. Hmm - I do have Etna below Tinkerbell, which is why I was puzzled and asked. The MO overwrite shows 3 files overwritten: eye.dds, fairylight.nif and Facegeom 00000D66.nif. In the Etna esp I notice the HCLF entry for Etna is "Haircolor03BrightBlond"CLFM:000A042F, which is the same as Tinkerbell. Maybe the change got unmade? Anyway, to be honest I don't mind her as blonde - she's fine!
You can see the body flaw in the middle and right screenshot at the top of this page. Look above the hips and you'll see a curved discolouration in the skin. That's usually when a mismatch occurs between body type and armour, like putting UNP armour on a CBBE body. I tried a few tricks I know but can't get rid of it.
But don't let this detract from the fact Etna (and the revival of Tinkerbell) is a welcome and fun mod! Definitely a keeper and endorsed.
Double check your load order, especially if you are using LOOT (which basically a PoS in my opinion). You may have to make a custom exception in LOOT to make sure the Etna esp is below the Tinkerbell esp. This is the first I have heard of her having blond hair and her hair is red in my game.I just downloaded the file from here on nexus and changed out the esp in my game and her hair is red. Try downloading Etna again, that may fix it.
Also, I merged Tinkerbell and Etna outside of MO then installed it as one mod, you may want to try that if MO is acting strange.
Hmm- done all that. But my Etna ESP has blond hair in the hair colour line. I wonder if the merging process knobbled the Etna ESP. I'll try again. Thanks for your patience!
Look up other hair mods other than apachii.....there's more packs out there after all. like SG hair Pack

maybe something more closer to her hair is there. OR just remake her using another race mod like.....>w> <w< a certain race mode from Tera Online -coughs- maybe?
Lol, downloading that hair mod is like pulling teeth, a lot of the links posted were dead or discontinued. I think I got it though. However... how am i supposed to get permission from the modder to use their hair? o.O
Oblivion Hairs looks promising but I think its russian and though it has a version here on nexus there seem to be a lot of issues with it. I guess all people would need are the resources from it (assuming that I cannot get permission to use them). Regardless, I think there is little chance of finding a hairstyle similar to Etna's.
I know right? Is there anyway to set the body slider down for her? =P
I saw one hairstyle in the Oblivion Pack that has pony tails but to be honest its not even as nice looking as the one she has now. The only problem with the SG hairs is that I don't know how to find the author for permission and nexus doesn't like people posting mods that have dependencies on mods not hosted on this site. So choices seem limited at the moment. The Oblivion Pack is here on nexus so I could just have Etna be dependent on it should I not be able to contact the author or get permission but honestly I am not too impressed with it and some of the hairs still have some issues.
Even if I find a good hair there is still the endeavor of figuring out how to add it to Etna/Tinkerbell. Unlike other follower mods Tinkerbell's hair style is linked to her facegen data somehow (I think). It looks different and I cannot change it in the CK without her whole head defaulting to the nord race. I would have to figure that one out, I've figured out worse though.
If you remember the hairstyle post me a link or screenshot.
Here are some hairs that I was looking at, the third one down gets my vote... unfortunately it seems broken. It is from Numenume and he either messed up the hairline somehow because the hairs are transparent or it relies on a hair physics mod that is not on Nexus. I could look into it further but I don't really want to make the Etna mod rely on 4 or 5 other mods.
I do have a few questions if you don't mind the intrusion.
1) Is this Etna standalone and doesn't require any other mods (Hair, Body mods etc) to function? Well, aside from the Tinkerbell mod, that is... 2) Which body is this based on? Dark Lilith is CBBE but there's a UNPB conversion... 3) Which version of the Tinkerbell mod do I need? The black or the blonde?
Edit: Guess it doesn't matter anymore. Tinkerbell's taken off Nexus. What do you plan to do with Etna in the meantime?
This mod is dependent on Tinkerbell, if you want her try this link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/bbbhljcct1bmi9j/rrerryersrrrrs-rreryesre-rrs.rar
You can use black or blonde, it doesn't matter. CBBE body version of dark lilith armor. I could never get a hold of Praveen for permission to use his assets, I may try again and see about uploading a standalone version of Etna.
Please let me know if that is the correct mod, thank you.
This mod is dependent on Tinkerbell and uses that mod as a base, yes. Try this link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/bbbhljcct1bmi9j/rrerryersrrrrs-rreryesre-rrs.rar

RTS Hairpack. It looks pretty good so far and i'm hoping they add more hairs to the pack.
also, i love Etna.. but i think her boobs maybe too big. LOL

I like the hair she has now though, but more options the better?

2) Which body is this based on? Dark Lilith is CBBE but there's a UNPB conversion...

I just posted a new version it's possible something went awry. Which version did you use, the latest version? Main file or optional file?
