I started working on a custom species about a year or so back but it never got finished and i'm trying to kickstart the project again, starting from scratch with all the updated files. I'm just running into an error which I'm not sure what is causing it. I've only got my mod and the xbawks character selection mod and I crash when ever I select the species on the create character page. [22:06:21.108] [Info] Root: Preparing Root...

seeing its an out of range error, that means something in one of the 2 mods was invalid. If xbawks is not the latest, try getting the latest. if it still crashes, you may want to check the .species file, and the relative file if you are using the penguinoid.config method of special animation
It was crashing when I tried a different expanded species slots mod and I'm not sure what penguinoid.config is so I'll have a look at the .species file again.
penguinoid.config is the file used to define everything about the penguin race. it is found in the species folder and referenced in penguin.species
Well I have nothing referencing the penguin race or any penguin.species in my folders so it can't be that. Do you know what to look out for in the .species folder?
i hav no idea, but it has to b related to whats loaded in the character creation with the penguinoid.config, you could create a copy, rename it, and modify its contents to make a completely custom species rather than basically a resprite
Sooo the change I've made looks like "facialHairGroup" : "fluff", "facialHair" : [ "1" ], "facialMaskGroup" : "beaks", "facialMask" : [ "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10" ] I renamed your folder to beaks and for some reason if I try to go to 11 it bugs out. I made a blank fluff file for the fluff folder. I guess it needs both? You need to swap around the pattern and hair labels in char select. That fixes 1 problem, now the problem is your ship pet showing up.
I did make a fluff folder and put an image in and it bugged out and crashed, on the character creation the screen was white. Just been back and forth with mixing it. It'll work and randomize works but I get a lot of crashes because of missing assets. I'll give yours a try and then I'll try and figure out the pet. The other issue is the labels being in the wrong place on the screen and the personality one being completely missing.
Starbound\Starbound\mods\Chitten\monsters\pets\chittenpet\parts Missing the frames file, copy the weasel one and you are hunky dory. I am still periodically getting weird errors where I can't load your species "bad allocation" not sure what that is all about. *edit* uploaded my version
Yeah I'm not sure what's going on there. I've just been trying to get it to a stable, working condition before I start adding in the older assets I had. I'll try this out but it might still be the species file.
Oh its def something in the species file, I just added the pet because it needed to be fixed also. Ive tried subbing your facial mask things with the avian + just those beaks n fluff sprites and it works fine. It's really weird.
I've got it working with the pattern and hair use without the beaks but the only issue is the shirt colour tab does nothing, Pants colour tab does shirt colour and personality does pants colour. Left side is fine and the blank one still changes the personality. I'm just thinking would it be easier to add in the option to change the facial pattern colour as the secondary colour?
" I'm just thinking would it be easier to add in the option to change the facial pattern colour as the secondary colour?" I would say yes.
I actually just remembered why the facial pattern colours are only white and grey. I have secondary colours that aren't working. I've compressed and added the file again and all the correct options/tabs are in the right place and working but the hair/secondary colour isn't working even with colours added to the .species file at the bottom.
Off the top of my head, I think it has to do with copying how the avian handles things. "headOptionAsFacialhair" : true, "altOptionAsFacialMask" : true, "bodyColorAsFacialMaskSubColor" : true, "altColorAsFacialMaskSubColor" : true, Like all this business. http://helmet.kafuka.org/sbmods/howto.html bit old but still a handy read. Try looking at other vanilla races, and seeing how they handle different colouring... or even a few modded ones.
I've managed to withhold crashes but I just can't seem to get the colour option to work at all. I was hoping for a facialmask still working to choose from the facial patterns and then have the secondary colour be the sub/secondary body colour and hair colour but no matter which alt or head option the arrows won't work and it won't cycle through colours.
One thing I experimented when I was deciding how to do the Clownkin, was to put the make up into the "hair" folder. It looked something like this "hair" : [ "makeup1", "makeup2", "makeup3" ], "facialHairGroup" : "noses", "facialHair" : [ "nose1", "nose2", "nose3", "nose4", "nose5" ], "facialMaskGroup" : "wigs", "facialMask" : [ "rain1", "rain2" ] Didn't like that idea tho
So instead of using the Avian.species base, I've tried using the Hylotl and I've got it working. I decided that taking the face pattern out would be easier and just having it as the secondary colour on the head so there's three colours to choose from. Thanks for the help and suggestions.
I think you might benefit from how I did the Orcana since it looks like you're wanting the same basic setup. You hair would be what the Orcana fins are (facial mask) and the pattern would be the same as the Orcana patterns (hair). This allows for a base color and a pattern color to both be chosen in character creation. Unfortunately, your hair color would have to be tied to one or both of the body colors (depending on how you color the sprites) and not have its own color selection, but as far as I know that's what you wanted anyway... Here's how I have that part of the species file: Code: "altOptionAsFacialMask" : true, "headOptionAsHairColor" : true, "bodyColorAsFacialMaskSubColor" : true, "hairColorAsBodySubColor" : true, "genders" : [ { "name" : "male", "image" : "/interface/title/male.png", "characterImage" : "/interface/title/orcanamale.png", "hairGroup" : "pattern", "hair" : [ "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12" ], "shirt" : [ "orcanaactivechest", "orcanacasualchest", "orcanaformalchest", "orcanatogachest", "protectorateshirtchest", "protectoratevestchest" ], "pants" : [ "orcanaactivelegs", "orcanacasuallegs", "orcanaformallegs", "orcanatogalegs" ], "facialMaskGroup" : "fin", "facialMask" : [ "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16", "17" ], "facialHairGroup" : "", "facialHair" : [ "" ] }, { "name" : "female", "image" : "/interface/title/female.png", "characterImage" : "/interface/title/orcanafemale.png", "hairGroup" : "pattern", "hair" : [ "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12" ], "shirt" : [ "orcanaactivechest", "orcanacasualchest", "orcanaformalchest", "orcanatogachest", "protectorateshirtchest", "protectoratevestchest" ], "pants" : [ "orcanaactivelegs", "orcanacasuallegs", "orcanaformallegs", "orcanatogalegs" ], "facialMaskGroup" : "fin", "facialMask" : [ "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16", "17" ], "facialHairGroup" : "", "facialHair" : [ "" ] } ], "bodyColor" : [ { "ffe2c5" : "54788b", "ffc181" : "3d5664", "d39c6c" : "2f404a", "c7815b" : "1d292f" }, // midnight blue { "ffe2c5" : "7e4c4c", "ffc181" : "5b3737", "d39c6c" : "422828", "c7815b" : "2c1b1b" }, // dark rose { "ffe2c5" : "4b674e", "ffc181" : "394d3b", "d39c6c" : "2c3b2e", "c7815b" : "222b23" }, // forest green { "ffe2c5" : "7e654c", "ffc181" : "5b4937", "d39c6c" : "423528", "c7815b" : "2c231b" }, // burnt umbra { "ffe2c5" : "795179", "ffc181" : "583b58", "d39c6c" : "402b40", "c7815b" : "2a1c2a" }, // royal purple { "ffe2c5" : "6f6f6f", "ffc181" : "505050", "d39c6c" : "343434", "c7815b" : "262626" }, // black { "ffe2c5" : "a7a7a7", "ffc181" : "7d7d7d", "d39c6c" : "5b5b5b", "c7815b" : "3c3c3c" }, // grey { "ffe2c5" : "fafafa", "ffc181" : "d7d7d7", "d39c6c" : "aeaeae", "c7815b" : "6f6f6f" }, // white { "ffe2c5" : "c7dce2", "ffc181" : "a3c6d3", "d39c6c" : "7797a8", "c7815b" : "516873" }, // baby blue { "ffe2c5" : "f8e4e4", "ffc181" : "e9c1c1", "d39c6c" : "cb9797", "c7815b" : "926565" }, // light pink { "ffe2c5" : "d2e9d5", "ffc181" : "abcbaf", "d39c6c" : "86a58a", "c7815b" : "667b68" }, // mint green { "ffe2c5" : "f3e9d4", "ffc181" : "dcc8a9", "d39c6c" : "b39a7e", "c7815b" : "796654" }, // mellow yellow { "ffe2c5" : "f2dcf2", "ffc181" : "dab2da", "d39c6c" : "af85af", "c7815b" : "755675" } // lavender ], "hairColor" : [ //{ "ff4224" : "54788b", "dc1f00" : "3d5664", "be1b00" : "2f404a", "951500" : "1d292f" }, // midnight blue //{ "ff4224" : "7e4c4c", "dc1f00" : "5b3737", "be1b00" : "422828", "951500" : "2c1b1b" }, // dark rose //{ "ff4224" : "4b674e", "dc1f00" : "394d3b", "be1b00" : "2c3b2e", "951500" : "222b23" }, // forest green //{ "ff4224" : "7e654c", "dc1f00" : "5b4937", "be1b00" : "423528", "951500" : "2c231b" }, // burnt umbra //{ "ff4224" : "795179", "dc1f00" : "583b58", "be1b00" : "402b40", "951500" : "2a1c2a" }, // royal purple //{ "ff4224" : "6f6f6f", "dc1f00" : "505050", "be1b00" : "333333", "951500" : "262626" }, // black //{ "ff4224" : "a7a7a7", "dc1f00" : "7d7d7d", "be1b00" : "5b5b5b", "951500" : "3c3c3c" }, // grey { "ff4224" : "fafafa", "dc1f00" : "d7d7d7", "be1b00" : "aeaeae", "951500" : "6f6f6f" }, // white { "ff4224" : "c7dce2", "dc1f00" : "a3c6d3", "be1b00" : "7797a8", "951500" : "516873" }, // baby blue { "ff4224" : "f8e4e4", "dc1f00" : "e9c1c1", "be1b00" : "cb9797", "951500" : "926565" }, // light pink { "ff4224" : "d2e9d5", "dc1f00" : "abcbaf", "be1b00" : "86a58a", "951500" : "667b68" }, // mint green { "ff4224" : "f3e9d4", "dc1f00" : "dcc8a9", "be1b00" : "b39a7e", "951500" : "796654" }, // mellow yellow { "ff4224" : "f2dcf2", "dc1f00" : "dab2da", "be1b00" : "af85af", "951500" : "755675" } // lavender ], "undyColor" : [ "" ]
