Modding Discussion Changing skin colour palette

Hello.... I don't know how to mod, but if someone could mod, so the playable races had pale skin, a very light gray, or something, the gray color is to dark, and a black hair color like Hylotls and Humans, if anyone can, please tell me

 

playable classes? What are you talking about?

Best bet is to learn modding yourself.

for the main 7 races, sorry, I meant to write races but wrote classes

 

There are no classes in this game. Those are races.

 

yeah, I know, I fixed my mistake

 

You're asking for... more skin colors on the vanilla races? If I understand you correctly.

 

yeah.... but I think I will make my own mod and upload it here

 

Awesome idea man! This is a great first project to help you learn the basics of modding. If you need any help or resources, post here and I can try to help!

 

That shouldn't be too hard-- you'll just have to write a player.config.patch and add some skin tones to the vanilla arrays.

Do some research into patch making, figure out the color hex values you want, and how to get at the vanilla files. Then you can add whatever you want, like new hair colors!

 

Okay, I am trying to mod, I pick a floran, but I can't find where this color is

 

The colors are actually defined in the species file. The colors you see in that sprite are the colors that are replaced with the actual colors you see in game with the following piece of code from the floran.species file:
"bodyColor" : [
{ "ffca8a" : "c4d0a5", "e0975c" : "a3af83", "a85636" : "7f8760", "6f2919" : "5e6142" },
{ "ffca8a" : "d08c9f", "e0975c" : "b27082", "a85636" : "874e62", "6f2919" : "603347" },
{ "ffca8a" : "d8d695", "e0975c" : "b9b778", "a85636" : "908a56", "6f2919" : "685f3a" },
{ "ffca8a" : "a6cbd2", "e0975c" : "7ca7af", "a85636" : "558287", "6f2919" : "386362" },
{ "ffca8a" : "cb86d6", "e0975c" : "ac6ab7", "a85636" : "7e498c", "6f2919" : "542f64" },
{ "ffca8a" : "b7d179", "e0975c" : "8eab59", "a85636" : "808a44", "6f2919" : "5e6534" },
{ "ffca8a" : "b9997a", "e0975c" : "9f7761", "a85636" : "85594a", "6f2919" : "6a3e36" },
{ "ffca8a" : "a8c2c4", "e0975c" : "8ba4a6", "a85636" : "677f7f", "6f2919" : "485b59" },
{ "ffca8a" : "e47068", "e0975c" : "c54848", "a85636" : "952f45", "6f2919" : "65223a" },
{ "ffca8a" : "e3da89", "e0975c" : "c5bd6d", "a85636" : "9a8d4c", "6f2919" : "705f32" }
],

Or at least, that's the main body color. The more green-ish brown is defined as the undyColor. Basically, the way it works is like this:
{colorInSprite:colorInGame;colorInSprite2:colorInGame2;colorInSprite3:colorInGame3}
That's how you define one color option. So what you want to do is make a patch (here's a handy automatic patch maker), put it in the species subfolder of your mod's folder inside of Starbound's mods folder as, for example, floran.species.patch, and voila, you'll have added a color to the species select.

 

Its on the face.

 

thank you

Please someone help me, that unofficial modding ebook, doesn't make sense to me, Please tell me how to add more colors to the base game, not replace the colors but add them..... I would really appreciate it, I unpacked the assets, I made so that I could see the extensions... please tell me what to do next, I want to add more skin colors, lead colors and flower colors

 

It sounds like you need to start by learning to create a .patch file. This allows you to add/remove/change things in existing files without ever having to modify the original. A good way to learn would be to download another mod and see how they do it. Here's a good tutorial on patch files:
http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/basic-patching-now-with-path-guide-v1-9.84496/

Using that tutorial as an example, here's what a patch file might look like for adding additional body colors for a floran:

Code:

[ 
{"op":"add","path":"/bodyColor/-","value":{ "ffca8a" : "<yourReplacementColorHere>", "e0975c" : "<yourReplacementColorHere>", "a85636" : "<yourReplacementColorHere>", "6f2919" : "<yourReplacementColorHere>" } }
 ]

and you would add more lines between the square brackets for every new color option that you want to add. Obviously make sure to replace the <yourReplacementColorHere> with your own values. Then you would save this file as floran.species.patch, put it in your own mod folder (using the same file structure as you find it in the assets folder - ie. starbound/species/floran/ or whatever it is) and give it a whirl. I'm not at a computer where I can see the assets though, so make sure you verify that the file path is the correct one.
