Baldur's Gate 3: Tabaxi Mod - Version 0.2
Added 2024-03-04 21:01:24 +0000 UTCHere's an update that adds new ocelot and void cat fur options, as well as versions of the DnD 5E tabaxi racial bonuses.
The "Feline Agility" ability should work the same as the tabletop version, giving tabaxi a free dash that's available at the start of combat and after any turn where they don't move. The "Cat's Claws" bonus in tabletop converts tabaxis' 1d4 bashing unarmed damage to 1d6 slashing- unfortunately, it doesn't currently seem to be possible to convert unarmed damage to slashing in the BG3 engine, so the mod's version just adds 2 slashing damage to all unarmed attacks. Once the official modding tools are released, I'll take another shot at implementing something closer to the tabletop rules.
The tabletop rules also give tabaxi a bonus to climbing speed, but since that's not a thing in BG3, I've left in the falling damage resistance to compensate.
Note that the fur patterns have to be changed by selecting subraces, since I wasn't able to find a good way to switch out body textures in the appearance editor. If you've already created a tabaxi character, you won't be able to switch subraces, but using the attached "Retexture" zip, you should be able to retexture the default subrace to match one of the two new ones. The included readme.txt outlines how to set that up.
The new version of the mod is in the file Tabaxi02.zip. See: https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Modding:Installing_mods for an installation guide, and note that this also requires the mod at https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/141

So, after some end user troubleshooting - if you click Feline Agility, then immediately use SotW-Dash, you get your full movement. If you click Feline Agility, move around, punch some fools, realize your final corpse-in-waiting is just out of reach, *then* click SotW, it doesn't add any movement at all. Hope that helps!

2024-03-23 19:43:30 +0000 UTCThe issue with disappearing clothing should be fixed in the next update, and that'll also include playable female Tabaxi. That's almost done- I'm just trying to fix a couple of final, difficult bugs, and will hopefully be able to release it today or tomorrow, assuming I can find some solutions. I'll look into the Step of the Wind Dash issue next.

2024-03-23 18:48:32 +0000 UTCdid you figure it out by chance I'm having the same issue

2024-03-23 18:02:52 +0000 UTCCoupla things: 1. is the 'swinging branch' a known issue (you know what I'm talkin about LOL) 2. Using feline agility as a monk seems to disable / negate their ability to use Step of the Wind Dash as a BA. Am I just derping this? 3. Female bodies and ability to show worn armor/robes (which solves 1 lol) are still beg-worthy updates. All in all - phenomenal. And thank you again for doing this!!! <3

2024-03-23 08:34:01 +0000 UTCnormally you cant acess classes or races that the host of the match doesnt have installed, they simply doesnt appear. if you are the host, then the game will ask your friend for downloading the same files.

2024-03-18 12:50:44 +0000 UTCI haven't been able to replicate the "changes pending" bug so far. Is it possible that could be due to a conflict with a different mod you have installed? The randomize thing is a known issue- I'll put some more work into figuring it out once I have the females complete.
CobaltOwl
2024-03-16 16:38:24 +0000 UTCHonestly, I'm not sure what would happen in that case- with only one person using the mod, it might display with invisible models, and the custom ability might lead to weird problems. Or, it might just not let you join a game with a different mod list. I recommend sending your friend the mod and asking them to use it while you're playing. It shouldn't interfere with their existing campaign, and may work correctly in multiplayer if everyone has it installed. If you do that and have a moment, please let me know if it works.

2024-03-16 16:28:52 +0000 UTCThanks for putting the work in on making this mod, it's awesome. I'd like to install this mod for my personal BG3 campaigns, but I'm also in a multiplayer campaign with friends. Once I have the mod installed, how will that interact with my friend's campaign? They are hosting and I'd wouldn't be a tabaxi in their campaign, since they aren't using the mod (or any mods, for that matter), so I'm worried that installing a mod will interfere with their campaign.

2024-03-16 16:12:52 +0000 UTCI found an issue with using the randomize feature in the game. I may just be ignorant, but I have a Changes Pending error that prevents the ability to proceed out of the character creator. If there's an apply changes button, I'm just being dumb, otherwise may be worth mentioning to not use randomize for the time being. Noticed I was able to get the Tabaxi to have horns using randomize, but otherwise doesn't seem to be an intended feature.

2024-03-14 16:44:25 +0000 UTCFYI I am not using any other mods.

2024-03-13 17:37:42 +0000 UTCThis also occurs with The Oak Father's Embrace, but not with a Scale Mail or Chain Shirt +1.
Stilghar
2024-03-13 00:34:04 +0000 UTCMost of the outfits should be visible, though there are a few in 0.2 that I missed, which should be fixed in the next version. If most of the outfits are invisible, that may be the result of a conflict with another mod- I recommend testing with just the Tabaxi mod enabled, if that's not the case already.

2024-03-11 15:03:50 +0000 UTCHello! There's a bug with other armor where if I wear anything other than some defaults it just shows the character nude. Is there any fix? Thanks
Carlos Cerritos
2024-03-11 06:30:44 +0000 UTCThanks- I'll look into that.
CobaltOwl
2024-03-10 03:18:27 +0000 UTCI have encountered an issue where equipping the Jolty Vest renders the character nude. I have not attempted to equip any other unique armor or clothing set, so this is my first experience with this glitch.

CobaltOwl
2024-03-10 00:59:02 +0000 UTCDo you have a preferred method to be contacted by players who have encountered potentially disconcerting glitches, etc. with this mod?
Stilghar
2024-03-10 00:53:35 +0000 UTCnm its a conflict with a mod, sorting it out now :D
Danny Elstob
2024-03-09 19:27:49 +0000 UTCI am just trying it out now, do none of the clothes or armour work on this model or is it just me?
Danny Elstob
2024-03-09 19:11:55 +0000 UTCGood catch- I'll fix that in the next version
CobaltOwl
2024-03-09 18:45:01 +0000 UTCI just noticed that this mod adds +2 Dexterity racial bonus. There were racial bonuses to abilities in the demo, but in the full game they were removed. All races have 8/8/8/8/8/8 before assigning ability point, except Tabaxi who have 10 Dexterity. This makes them too overpowered.
Wane
2024-03-09 18:40:19 +0000 UTCI haven't quite figured that out yet, but I'll definitely be looking into it.
CobaltOwl
2024-03-09 17:11:27 +0000 UTCCannot wait to see the female model, hopefully not too far away :) this mod is awesome so impressive.
Danny Elstob
2024-03-09 16:07:53 +0000 UTCRight now it is possible to create tabaxi character, but not guardian. Would it be difficult to change?
Wane
2024-03-09 07:14:48 +0000 UTCI think I'll work on getting all of the cosmetic items compatible right after I finish the female models- that way, I'll be able to make and test the edits to all of the male and female models at the same time. I've just started on the female models now, so that shouldn't be too far away.
CobaltOwl
2024-03-09 05:49:43 +0000 UTCOut of curiosity, how far down the list of priorities is cloak functionality with the model?
Quorine h
2024-03-08 20:31:09 +0000 UTCIt works! Just one note: modsettings.lsx needs the default node "GustavDev", which your version doesn't have. Without "GustavDev" I got error "The main menu mod requires the level. Make sure to clear any local mods and try again." So instead of replacing modsettings.lsx with your version, I added the new node "Tabaxi" to the default file, and then everything worked just fine.

2024-03-08 19:59:10 +0000 UTCExcite! Thanks! :D

2024-03-08 01:54:16 +0000 UTCHey, I love this mod! I was wondering if you'd be okay with me releasing a Unique Tav patch for it when it releases? I know that's probably some time away lol, but I like to reach out when I can. I'm KittHaven over on the Nexus and I've released a bunch of UT patches for other race mods too! It's my fav thing to make! I can make it so that replacing the textures is a simple drag and drop ordeal as well so the loose textures would look something like this: Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\unique_tav\BODY\TAB\MALE And then each subrace would use the same textures but they can be swapped at any point, even without closing the game as luckily hotloading is a thing with BG3 lmao. Pic (ignore he has cat pupils lol, I wanted cat eyes xD): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vRSypP_lvdlZRESKC5wRdsht7nOxNhdK Anyway, no worries if not! It will just remain a personal mod :3 But thought I'd ask anyway! Have a good day!
KittHaven
2024-03-08 01:47:05 +0000 UTCThats Fair, I hope the full mod tools or some other find fixes it!
TrixyTrixter
2024-03-06 23:41:28 +0000 UTCI'm excited for this mod since I wanted to play as my Tabaxi, who's my first player character ever since I started playing D&D a few years ago. Thing is, she's a cheetah so I'm hoping that's a pattern in the works.
RandoChris
2024-03-06 16:55:29 +0000 UTCFeel free to do so; thanks!
CobaltOwl
2024-03-05 17:20:55 +0000 UTCThat's a possibility, although I'd also like for the slashing damage to work with the monk's attacks and to stack with bonuses from monk items, which may not be doable if I'm adding a separate ability.
CobaltOwl
2024-03-05 17:20:37 +0000 UTCAwesome! I can't wait to see u finish the female model!
Noah Rice
2024-03-05 16:59:12 +0000 UTCI also loaded a save in Act 3 where I had romanced a companion(Astarion) and the kisses work amazingly, and it's very cute imo. I've never been more hyped for a mod before this!
CasuallyFurryDonut
2024-03-05 10:39:21 +0000 UTCThis is amazing! Also as an aside, are we allowed to share pictures of the Tabaxi, or no because it's an alpha? It's just so good I want to spread awareness to come support you on patreon.
CasuallyFurryDonut
2024-03-05 10:27:57 +0000 UTCI do not know modding, I just wanted to ask. Would it be possible to make the claw feature add an ability that deals 1d6 slashing damage instead of trying to replace the normal unarmed strike?
TrixyTrixter
2024-03-05 06:42:50 +0000 UTCOk, I've uploaded a modsettings.lsx file with the mod's info. Hopefully that will work.
CobaltOwl
2024-03-04 21:45:16 +0000 UTCHold on- I'll upload a modsettings.lsx file instead.
CobaltOwl
2024-03-04 21:41:23 +0000 UTCSure- I've added an info.json file to the post attachments. Does that work on your end?
CobaltOwl
2024-03-04 21:40:14 +0000 UTCCan I ask for modsettings code for this mode? I have to go with manual install, because I play on Steam Deck, and Mod Manager doesn't work well with it.

2024-03-04 21:31:02 +0000 UTCIt's so adorable EEEEE!
