Modding Help New race help!

I looked around...not much on here about getting a race in from scratch..... so i'm gonna try.. hopefully with some success to get this guy :



into the game! right this second i'm taking apart this sprite to make it....work? hopefully I will be able to get all the animations in and such....but the real problem lies in coding...I don't know how

here's where I'm at:

 

Those sprites look amazing, Can't help you though, :U.

 

I got it working by just editing the malebody.png or femalebody.png for my race, also i hope to try out your race when your done.

Just finished the main animation for my walking cycle, and it works fine.

 

Not sure if you're aware - climbing animations aren't used in the game, so don't waste your time with them! Also, none of Starbound's armor sprites are going to work for your race because it doesn't follow the basic humanoid shape. Do you have any plans for getting around that?

 

okay thanks for that tip!

also, no I have no idea how I will get past that....but hey, its only just began!

hopefully eventually I will figure that out!

 

okay...so how to I get the race to actually show up ingame? I want to test thingssss

 

You know, instead of making it a race, you could take the Human Mecha Suit and turn it into this, and implement it as an item into the game. That way you wouldn't have to make every single armor for the body either.

 

meh I think it would be cooler to be its own race!

 

Make a Bith race, way cooler!


Someone needs to make a Star Wars races mod!

The only problem I have in mind as of now is how you would get it into the character selection screen & how it would work in multiplayer...

 

xD well both are easy.... they will fit in the character creation screen ;3 they are only a few pixels bigger.... also the only think you need to be seen on a server, is to get somebody else to download the mod

 

Just go grab a race mod someone already released, and go through and check out all the stuff they changed/included and do the same thing they did.

 

They should be shorter, to be around the normal height. I think it actually needs to fit a certain Width x Height.

 

nope ;3 all you have to do is replace the frames with what ever and you can be that thing! for example, the penguin race mod, makes it so you can be a penguin!

 

aww yes, let lose the original species

Glad to see someone make one from scratch instead of thinking they are bound to armor.

 

I know that, but there might be a height limit, as in the scipt/code will pick the coordinates of the file, and if your frames are over the limit, it will just be broken. Idk, but I think i might be able to make you the files for your race, what is the race called btw?

 

its called TerraSharks

 

Hey, I think I got every file needed for your sharks. All you need now is the textures, codex, quest, respawn, maybe ships and maybe weapons/armor too.

Btw, on your First post, The first picture shows the terrashark being the same height as humans, then in the frames 1, it seems a bit longer

 

awesome! thanks!

 

modify the ursine mod into your mod. http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/ursine-v2-2-indignant-koala.43656/#post-1443937 for a starting pointer to all the changed files and relevant changes.

 

No need, I already made everything. As I said all it needs is the story related things, and texture related things.
