Skittles Stripped Back Template Race Mod 1

Do you want to create your own race mod for NPCs? Boom right here

  1. DrPvtSkittles
    Skittles Stripped Back Template Mod
    (Not to be used to make other template mods)
    Works best with a character selection extender such as:
    (skstriptest)

    (Not to be used to make other template mods)

    You may be familiar with my other templates Skittles Basic Race Template and Skittles Advanced Race Template. Welcome to my stripped down version of this template.

    This has been designed for people who may wish to implement a non-playable race that doesn't need all the bells n whistles. This has been stripped back as far as possible while still being a playable race. Why playable? To make it easy to test!

    To remove them from character creation screen delete charcreation.config.patch which can be found in \interface\windowconfig.

    How to use? Please follow this guide:
    https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1380289410

    How to set up:
    To turn the STRIPPED_RACE_TEMPLATE_EASY_SETUP.txt into a bat file open it up in your word editor, go Save As, then Save As Type, change that to All Files. Then change the name to STRIPPED_RACE_TEMPLATE_EASY_SETUP.bat

    Run the batch file STRIPPED_RACE_TEMPLATE_EASY_SETUP.bat. Pick a name for your race USING ONLY LOWERCASE and NO SPACES, press enter and BAMN. That's all there is to it.

    A more step by step instruction

    Starting with a fresh template:

    Unzip the file and put it into your mods folder.

    Run the .bat file and choose a name longer than 3 characters, lowercase only, no spaces. (note .bat files are for windows only)

    Open Starbound and you should see an eyeless humanoid head.

    If you do, then hoorah! you can now begin editing, if not, check your log file at starbound/storage. You can open it up in notepad++

    If you aren't running windows then you will either need a program or to manually change all instances of skstriptest to your chosen race name.

    Includes:
    Hair and body parts
    Interface
    Shiplocker Treasure Pool
    Dialog
    NPC patches
    Uses Glitch ship
    Uses human respawn cinematic

    Completely compatible with the other versions

    This is the stripped back version. For something with more substance, try:
    Skittles Basic Race Template
    Skittles Advanced Race Template

    Don't forget to change the .metadata.

    Notepad ++ - Great Tool. I cannot recommend it enough.

    A BIG thank you to my friend Severenger, who made the .bat file.

    If you have any suggestions, comments or critiques I would love to hear from you.
