Modding Help How to make custom races?

So I've been planning to make a custom race. I have an idea for it, and I got a race template. But it wasn't updated. So I was like: "Oh well, might as well look up some tutorials!" Until I ran into a snag.

All of them are outdated.

Which kinda sucks. So, can anyone give me (and anyone else who has the same problem) a tutorial?

 

Thanks.
By the way is there an option to replace a vanilla race with a custom one? I think an anime human mod did that once, but that was ages ago.

 

Change the sprites, and patch in a change to the species file to change the races displayed name.

 

Any way to change the base colors? Because I made a race(Tyrannus) And I don't like it having the human skin colors I want like the avian ones

 

Why don't you... look at the bodyColor, undyColor, and hairColor sections of a species file? That's how every species can be multiple colors in-game.

 

If you want to create something from scratch I should have my race base template updated for the 1.0 update soon.

 

Thanks, But in what files are those?

 

Reread and you shall receive.

 

I'm having trouble with the game crashing everytime I click the random name thing. I did follow the instructions on how to rename the species but it's not working. Help?

 

I can't debug everything for you. Use your starbound.log file and figure out the issue.

 

It Can't Read The Json File... Any Fix? Also Would simply deleting the file help at all?
