Skeleton Extension (Theoretical and Untested) - Ezekial711/MonsterHunterWorldModding GitHub Wiki
The following section is extremely theoretical and has virtually no testing. Feel free to contact *Ỽ on the Modding Discord if you manage to obtain actual results in game or make progress in this regard. This tutorial assumes you are using Asterisk's importer-exporter plugin
Pick the skeleton you want to extend with "borrowed bones". For demonstration purposes Azure Starlord is shown.
[]
Pick the doner skeleton. In this case the Xeno'Jiiva Male Armour.
[]
Find the last common bone. In this case Bone.003 on the doner matches Bone.003 on the recipient.
[]
In the hierarchy identify the root bones that parent all of the bones you want to transplant.
[]
Select only the parent bones.
[]
Clear Parent while keeping the transformation.
[]
Clean the new bone trees as needed (removing bones you don't want to transplant from them. In this case we didn't need to do so.
[]
Paste it on the recipient scene.
[]
First select the child bone.
[]
Then select the parent bone. And use the Set Parent Command.
[]
This is much easier if the meshes are hidden however as stray selection will mess the parenting process.
