how can I decorate Abigail?

Why does the 90° Abby look so cursed?

Wow that is too funny not to share, so I paused the game and took a screenshot. It is the stick note idea, but there is a missing layer which I have not added yet.

Here is a byproduct someone asked for, which is to control Abigail's flower more conveniently. It cost roughly two days to code the widgets in both server and client side.

The clientside release can be found at https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2790669123

But I'm wondering if there is a tool/function to save data to profile, the Autosavemanager looks not suitable for this mod.

By the way, I will come back after 2 months I guess.

You'll like the TheSim:SetPersistentString and TheSim:GetPersistentString functions. You can find examples of how they're used in the cookbook cookbookdata and plantregistrydata files.

Quick question, if you have the full triumphant set for wendy, for example, and the triumphant abby skin, will her flower be skinned to be the triumphant one upon spawning? Or would you need to wait until you can get a clean sweeper or craft a new one. Same question about wigfrid and her helmet and spear skins.

There is a selector for skins in character pick screen in the right top corner

Really? How have I never noticed that? I'll check soon but maybe it isn't on console?

Huh, i wonder. But it should be, it just kind of blends in with the filters at the top

No, it's from other artists. Basically I'm gathering good ideas and try to implement it into the game. There are a bunch of fantastic paintings out there.

That's cool, I bet that takes a lot of work to implement something like that. Good luck! These artists have some seriously mad skills.

I'm pretty new to the forums is there an art page here or somewhere else?

Thanks!

Can someone make a mod that gives lucy the abigail hairpiece?

In this forum : https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/forum/15-dont-starve-art-music-lore/

And some of the artisis also have their account on Tumblr, for example: Born to die .

Steam community also offers loads of paintings that allows you to cherry pick, for example: https://steamcommunity.com/id/CorsairsEdge/images/?appid=322330 .

Isn't it very easy to make a retextured lucy? just copy and paste and photoshop, and you get this

As can be seen, lucy's image is in low resolution. So if you want to make the mod, then you'd better draw it yourself.

Might be a future feature the devs might want to do.

Love the sticky note.

Here is another skin set designed by other people. What's your opinion? I personally don't approve most of the skins except the Creepy and Magma ( the flamelike tail is interesting enough).

I actually quite like the look of the survivor one. The "survivor" aesthetic has always been one of my favorites, to be honest, so I may be biased.

[Rickzzs]

spoiler for Abigail's flower.I'm just testing whether my skin works in game. Thanks to Glassic API and Mods in Menu so that I can achieve this.

By the way, thanks Fuffles for such an inspiring work as Fashion Forward( unfortunately Fuffles just deleted the topic). Thanks Modded Skins for demonstrating the capability of adding skinned items deep into the skin system, though I'll not use this mod for it disallows official item skins lol. And thank you all in this forum who provided interesting ideas, I had most fun with them.

[Rickzzs]

Still confused about how on earth did Fuffles make this blinking animation. I just have no idea how to do this. The animation never had a rotation of such huge degree. Maybe Fuffles won't talk about this anymore... .

[Rickzzs]

Finally the pipeline is about to be ready for more skins. But I just find the animation of Abigail's flower is very restricted, given great ideas. I have to draw nothing but petals( in eyeplant's case, leaves). Additionally, if anyone can suggest designs, basically just one sort of flower, I'd be happy to draw it. I myself don't have enough ideas for the remaining skins.

After a day's working, technical problems around mod release are also solved. Now the skin can be properly shown.

Spoiler for The Lush skin(Costume Collection):

Maybe you can clarify which skin you'd like to make, and the reason for choosing a certain flower. Finally, give a name and a short description to the skin. Then I can consider realizing it. It is even better if you can describe the design for 4 levels of flower's shape. Thanks.

Oh, you meant to make flowers to accompany Wendy's skins? Sorry, I just picked a nice looking flower

Yeah, any flower is welcome as long as you give strong reasons. For example I found this one in the forum. As a magmatic skin it looks awesome. But since it is a re-colored normal skin, I fear that it doesn't fit into the existing skins. The flame fx is very interesting, but the same as the above mentioned blinking animation, I don't think it is possible under the restriction.

You simply reminded me of my past's mistakes, so I removed them.
As to the animation, I have redone the animation from scratch and simply added the blinking petals as another part since a lot of other skins I did used swiftly moving parts, afterall you aren't bound by what klei supplies when modding and you can simply change anim files

That's OK. I am a little surprised at how Klei artists managed to create so many skins using one animation. Honestly I did a poor job with my eyeplant skin because I cannot place each image properly in place.

Decide to make this yet another reskin tool (this time specially for Abigail, fairy magic). Original picture:
