Name of meshes by index

These names correspond to the mesh files.

Slots that have alternate cyberware meshes

Some slots .apps have another hair mesh that is only utilized when a cyberware slot is enabled during V character creation or editing.

This might posses an issue where a V hair mod would show in that only if a cyberware slot is disabled, a simple solution would be to duplicate your meshes and rename them as below.

Hair .ent files

Hairs and all their components are assigned and defined via .ent files. You can find them in the following folder:

base\characters\head\player_base_heads\appearances\entity\hairs 

The last number in the file name matches the first number in the .mesh file name:

e.g., if you wanted to edit the entity file for female V's hair 28 hh_083_wa__ponytail_01, you could search for

player_base_heads > hairs > hairs_083

Beards

Beards are only used by mascV. Their entity files can be found in this folder:

base\characters\head\player_base_heads\appearances\entity\facial_hairs\

Any .app files are stored under

base\characters\head\player_base_heads\appearances\facial_hairs\

Beard morphtargets and the meshes they pull in can be found in the player's basehead folder:

base\characters\head\player_base_heads\player_man_average

Beard component names

Any beard uses the same two components, beard and beard_shadow_01.
