Help Needed Creating Character Mod (First Time Modder)


Recommended Posts

Hey so I've lurked on here for awhile, and I've been playing Don't Starve for even longer, but I only recently decided to stick my  hands into modding characters.

 

I've followed an online tutorial and got my artwork and everything done and renamed the stuff in the coding, but for some reason the artwork is cut off in the selection screen large portrait, and the small portrait is cut in half as well. Save slot icon works although slightly cut off too but not too much to worry about.

 

The Game also crashes when creating a new world for the character, I get to the black screen where it should fade in and Maxwell has a nice little chat with you, but it crashes before it fades in, any help with this would be appreciated and picture of the texture issues provided below.

 

(feel free to question the origin of this character by the way, the story behind him is quite amusing :) )

Not the best judge for this, but from my experience shrinking/cropping the .tex file could help.

So like do you mean crop the .png and then remake it a .tex or how do I crop a .tex?

 

I find it odd It's "too large and needs to be cropped" if this is the issue because I drew directly over the template image to make sure I wouldn't need to do that.

Sorry, I meant the .png.

Try converting the game's bigportrait files to a .png and checking the dimensions. If they're the same it's probably something with the .xml, which is a quick fix with Sublime. If it's not that then I don't know what to say.

Yeah the dimensions are the same as they should be, nothing changed. What should I look to change in the ,xml with Subline to see if that fixes it?

bumping this cause I need help the images are still the same and the game still crashes when trying to load a new game with the character.
