I have received numerous requests for a B-Morph tutorial, so here you are.
Requirements
Java
B-Morph
Intermediate Knowledge of Windows
Fable 
Overview
This tutorial is aimed not to yield specific results, but rather to explain the use of my program. I am not going to show you values to buff up your character, nor to make him a stick, or a basketball player. However, with a little experimentation it should be trivial to figure it out yourself.
Now on to the tutorial
The First Screen
The first thing you will see is a large number of check-boxes with text next to them, inside of various tabs. At the bottom there are three buttons with numbers to the left.
First, you need to understand how the .bncfg (bone configuration) file works. Each of the three values are scaling a certain bone (or body part) by certain numbers, with different scales for each axis.
If you scale the z bone on your torso, chances are you'll get taller.
To change these values, you can either open an already existing bncfg or start from scratch, however it is significantly easier to start with an already existing bncfg file.
To open a file, simply go to File>>Open or press Ctrl+E.
Then navigate to the Bones folder (usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Fable - The Lost Chapters\data\Bones\)
Open it up, and most of the forms will be now populated.
You can use this as a template, so just start editing the numbers in each of the boxes by selecting a box and entering values at the bottom and pressing apply to each edited value.
You can use both positive and negative values.
Once you're done, save the file into the folder, and make a backup of one of the ones you want to replace. Then save over the bone file that you want to replace and go into the game. You shouldn't need a new save-game.

I know this is a very old topic, but I have a question: How do I actually run the program? I have Java installed, as well as JRE, but the file does not seem to be executable. I extracted the contents, and still could not find an executable file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Nevermind. Something went wrong with my java/jre installation. I ended up reformatting my PC (which I have been meaning to do for a while) and now it works fine.

Guys, sorry to bump this up, but it's killing me and I'm not sure there's better place than here:
WHat's the value that changes the DISTANCE between the arm and the Spine 3? 'Cause one thing is the width of the arm, and the other is the width between the arm and the torso (which connects to arm by Spine 3).
It's NOT Clavicle, Arm, or Spine. Anybody got this down? Making your hero strong, and yet, NOT traingular?
All my love, Peacekeepers and Scarrans alike,
V.
EDIT: Also, is it possible there's a bug here in this beautiful tool? Z, the last coordinate, is width. So, say, if I increase the last of three digits in the waist section (Spine 1) I'll get wider waist. But the number in the sub-movement dummy is not Z, it's Y. It's height. So much so that the original Hero_Tall has the dummy at 1.0, 1.0, 1.2. Which is: as he grows, so must his dummy be lifted, right? So if the last number on the dummy is Y, then what are the other two?
EDIT: Ok, here's what it is: The Z,Y,X standard is not consistently read as such by the executable. It's not in the B-morph, it's in Fable.exe. I know this because by a full day of trial and error, I figured out that Y isn't always first, Z isn't always.... etc.
So comclusion with an M: you have to mess around until you get it. I'm Attaching my own preference for b-morph hero: bulkier, less triangular, arms lightly smaller and much closer to the body, and a lot shorter. Basically a slightly more realistic morph. At max, the hero's still much taller and larger than most other humans with the exception of Maze and Thunder, but looks much less ridiculous. Much love, clams, brazilian soccer players and Alanis Morisette cover bands.
Bonus track: Gonna put up an expirement on Escherism in the 21st century: a 2D hero. Have a laugh: his chest is inside his back and his back is inside his chest. Check it out, it's the 2D.rar.
Bonus track 2: Funny acccidents I had today: ducktales and Angry Birds.
