RELEASED Skittles Template Race Mod 3.0.4

I want to have different types of horns for the race, like in this picture, but be able to select different types rather than have the horns just on the head sprite.

 

In your species file try

Code:

  "headOptionAsFacialhair" : true,
  "altOptionAsUndyColor" : true,
  "hairColorAsBodySubColor" : false,

Then down further use

Code:

      "facialHairGroup" : "horns",
      "facialHair" : [ "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6" ], 

In your humanoid/yourrace folder add a new folder called 'horns' and in that put all the horns you want (numbered like in the facialHair) , in the colours you want. Take a gander at Terrakin, they have hair and changing antennae.

 

i haven't found the "haircolor etc" lines,
instead i've got

"altOptionAsUndyColor" : true,
"headOptionAsHairColor" : true,
"altOptionAsHairColor" : true,

EDIT: I inserted the code as it is on the terrakin file (and changed the CharGenTextLabel from "underwear" to "horns"), but it only changes the underwear color for now. Do i need the image files there for it to work? And where does it decide where the horns go?

 

change

Code:

"altOptionAsUndyColor" : true,
"headOptionAsHairColor" : true,
"altOptionAsHairColor" : true,

to

Code:

  "headOptionAsFacialhair" : true,
  "altOptionAsUndyColor" : true,
  "hairColorAsBodySubColor" : false,

You will need image files to work, yes. Hmmmm I haven't made any image guides for the facial stuff. Put one of the nova kid brand in for now, then just draw some horns on to have a gander.

 

Actuaaaaaally.



That there is a template for facial stuff. Just draw your horns on a separate layer and save it without the head.

 

so i can just edit that, put it in as 1.png and it'll be the first option when i change which generation tab?

 

As long as you put it in the horns folder, yee

 

yes but what do i do to the generation tabs?
with the Terrakin you changed the underwear to the antennae, so do i simply just change that?

 

The tabs are just names, to change it to reflect whatever it changes.

 

which one would i change to make the horns change, though? was kinda my question

(Hopefully once this is sorted out i can leave you alone )

 

haave you tried clickin through the different tabs to see what gets changed?

 

well, they do exactly what it says they do in the "CharGenLabels".

 

Oki I'm not the best at explaining things through pure text, do you wanna show me your mod atm and I will show you what I'm tryin to get at?

 

you mean the .species file?

i'll put it below but i have to sleep soon. Time zones and such.

CLOSE EDIT and i realized that time zones don't apply because we're in the same country

I meant the whole mod, just so i can plunk some horns in there to test what im thinkin, works.

 

oh lol
here it is, then

 

Ah I seem to forget steps if I don't run through things again. Aighty.



Changes:

New colour palette (check the sprites). You will notice the undies now share the same colour as the hair. This is because I had to sacrifice that tab to get interchanging horns.

I've changed the tabs to reflect what they change. I've inc 3 pairs of horns so you can see that they do change. The hair sprites will need to be coloured to the new palette (I've only changed hair 1 for male and females). I also changed in the species file to show female hair 1 and male hair 1 (but you can restore that from your older copy).

It's totally up to you to decide that you don't like it this way, but this is the way i'd go about it, because I am not sure how to go about it another way.

 

Thank you so much, you are a god.
I think from here I can stop flooding you with questions!
So thanks for all the help. This is one of the things that, because of you, i haven't just given up on and walked away from. I'm feeling really motivated for a game I really enjoy.

 

Aww thank you. I am happy to help. Enjoy!

 

Thanks for the help.
