Hi,

 

Sorry I am completely new at this, but I was able to get work through your tutorial and make a Character on the normal Don't Starve(Thank you). However i am completely lost on how to make one for DST, when I downloaded the Extended Simple Character through Steam, I can find the image files or the export forward. What should I do to fix this?

Hi! =3

 

Completely new to this stuff. Ive followed the tutorial and everything is working aside from head and hair placement. Ive tried adjusting the position in the .png file and in Spriter but it still won't line up properly in the game. Ive run the auto complier so I have no clue what Im doing wrong. Please heeelp~

 

The spriter file unchanged.

 

How it should look.

 

And how it looks in game reguardless of the changes.

were you trying to change the head positions in spriter by dragging the images to different spots? Because as far as I know, That doesn't actually change the in-game model. To change the position of something, you have to change it's position in the actual image file, because re-arranging the spriter model doesn't actually do anything

I figured as much. I'm just worried about the bottom of the hair getting cut off. I'll fiddle with it some more though =) Thanks

No problem!

Have you considered drawing part of the hair in the pigtails  slot? It may animate a bit funny, but maybe it'll give you more room to work with

I edited it all in file and it shows up right on the unchanged spriter file. I also tried splitting the hair and moving it to the pigtails folder but everything is staying the same as before in game. Did I miss a step?

You mean when you change something it's not actually changing the in-game appearance? hm. Has the autocompiler been acting funny since you changed it? like, when it's compiling, does it randomly spew out a jargon of text and close before you can read it? if so, it might be another texture error.

 

if that does turn out to be the case, (it might not be), redoing the images that started causing the errors would likely fix it.

Okay Im gonna mess with the hair later and just work on head positioning for now. Is there anything other than Spriter that'll let me see the character without repeatedly loading the game, because its still not matching the positions it shows in-game. Im having to edit and reload over and over =(

Troubleshooting

If problems arise, check your log to see what the error is. For Don't Starve, this is located in Documents\Klei\DoNotStarve\log.txt. For Don't Starve Together, this is located in Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\log.txt

This is the basics for using this template. I hope this tutorial was helpful.

 

I am having troubles whenever i enable my character mod so i can test the dialogue i get an error about something not being closed on line 11 of the dialogue. Somebody please help this is the log i got

Could you perhaps also explain how to add perks? I've been wanting to create a character that immobilizes [or freezes] surrounding enemies if he gets hit ack. Also this guide rocks! Now to making the sprite phooey

[s4ndm4n2006]

Did everything in the tutorial and btw, ty it's well written but I have run across a problem: "could not find an asset matching  images/saveslot_portraits/syrrae.tex in any of the search paths. 

 

So the mod I renamed and changed won't run.  I haven't done any of the changes to the artwork only the renaming of files and references in the files.  Can you help? 

[xargon999]

not sure if it's mentioned anywhere in here... but there is a program called "bulk rename utility" which allows you to rename files and folders, including subfolders, all in one go. Pretty handy as there seems to be a lot of renaming to do

[Lethalix]

When i open Dont starve, its saids that the mod crashed last time i opened the game...it does that every time...can someone tell my why?

[AkaneChaan]

Hello, I have edited the speech and I did the renaming, I've tried a lot of stuff to get it to work, but it seems it won't.

 

I have installed and edited for DST and it works completely fine, except for when I'm about to start the game. 

 

I push new servr, new world and everything starts loading, generating new world. When that finishes, everything freezes and I have to force shutdown don't starve together. I don't even get into the choose your character screen.

 

When I go back in, resume my world, I get this message, about not enough assets for my avatar.

 

 

 

[MF99K]

As soon as I enable the mod the game crashes and I get this message:

Hey I solved it, or rather. I just deleted everything and started from scratch again. hehe. 

But now I do have everything working smoothly, with custom images and speech. but how do I customize my character, not setting the max health, sanity,hunger. But more stuff like, letting the sanity regenerate a tad faster than others, or letting small critters not be afraid of my character? That's really all I want but I can't figure it out, how to write it or anything.... :c

[MF99K]

Ok, I don't know WHAT I've done wrong at this point, but spriter doesn't work and the mod doesn't work and troubleshooting doesn't work because the game wants me to have identical files in the same folder in order for the mod to work but my computer doesn't want there to be identical files in the same folder because it will screw things up and I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing here can someone please just help me redo everything? 

[HoPeYveltal]

Hello there. I really like the extended sample character. I have a few questions and more to come. But for know I want to ask you 3 questions.

1. What do you mean by not changing the dimensions?

2. In the Dont Starve Mod Tools can I change the location of the where things might be (ex. moving the leg and feet so they become a bit more separated)?

3. Can I use other parts from other characters (ex. use wilsons feet and leg parts)?

 

I would appreciate if you answered these questions.

[BurntTNTFreak]

What You Need

• Extended sample character mod. You can get it here: http://forums.kleientertainment.com/files/file/950-extended-sample-character/ There's separate version for single player and multiplayer
• Also on the Steam Workshop. Single player version. Multiplayer version.
• Don't Starve Mod Tools in Steam. (See below)
• An image editor with transparency support, such as GIMP, Photoshop, or Paint.NET. Basically anything that isn't Microsoft Paint.
• A text editor. Notepad++ is recommended. http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
• TEX Tools, to convert image files ignored by the compiler. (The mod icon) http://forums.kleientertainment.com/index.php?/files/file/73-matts-tools/

Installing the Mod

Check this thread for instructions on installing the mod: http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/29657-how-to-install-and-use-mods/

 

Editing the mod's info

Open modinfo.lua with your text editor. This is the information displayed in the Mods screen. This is pretty straightforward, so you shouldn't have much of a problem here.

Renaming the character

You probably have an amazing new name for your character, so you probably want to change the template's name to that. Let's walk through what has to be renamed.

In Notepad++, press Ctrl + Shift + F to open the Find in Files dialog.

There are two ways the character is named, all lowercase (esctemplate) and all uppercase (ESCTEMPLATE). The capitalization is important! Set Directory to the location of your mod, and check the Match Case checkbox. Replace esctemplate with yourcharacter, and ESCTEMPLATE with YOURCHARACTER.

Open modmain.lua with your text editor.

We should already see your character's name since we used Find in Files. So now, you can go through and change the strings such as your character's title, quote, and description.

Next, go to scripts\speech_esctemplate.lua. Change the file name to speech_[your character's name].lua. If you want to change your character's speech, this is what you'll edit.

By default, this includes Wilson's lines for Base Don't Starve. If you want to use a different character's speech file as a base, get it from dont_starve\data\scripts.

If you have Reign of Giants, it is highly suggested you use a speech file for that instead. Get it from dont_starve\data\DLC0001\scripts.

Next, go to scripts\prefabs\esctemplate.lua. Change esctemplate.lua to [your character's name].lua. Open it.

Just like in modmain.lua, replace all instances of esctemplate with your character's name.

Let's change your character's voice. Find the line inst.soundsname = "willow". Replace willow with the character's voice you want to use. The voices available are wilson, willow, wolfgang, wendy, wx78, wickerbottom, woodie, and maxwell.

Now on to renaming the rest of the files.

In the bigportraits and images folders, there are many .png, .tex, and .xml files. We want to change the name of the .png files to replace esctemplate with your characters names. While you can change the names of the .tex and .xml files, it's not necessary since the compiler will rebuild these files, so you can actually delete these and let them re-appear with your character's name when compiling.

Go to the exported folder. There are two or three folders, esctemplate, esctemplate_cleared, and if you're modding DST, ghost_esctemplate_build. For now, you can ignore esctemplate_cleared (if you want) since that's only there for reference, but you should rename the other two to your character's name, and also the .scml files inside them.

Finally, let's go to the anim folder.

You'll see one or two .zip files, esctemplate.zip, and if you're modding DST, ghost_esctemplate_build.zip. These aren't quite easy to rename, since it requires also changing the name within build.bin to work. But you don't need to. The contents of the exported folder will compile into this folder, so you can just delete these. New ones will appear, already renamed to your character's name.

Now our character should be fully renamed. It's a good idea to test the mod at this point to see if we've done this correctly.

Compiling

Compiling the mod will convert your .png files to .tex and .xml files, and your .scml to .zip files in the anim folder. This is usually done automatically, since the autocompiler launches whenever you start Don't Starve, as long as you have the mod tools installed.

Alternatively you can force-run the compiler by running Steam\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Mod Tools\mod_tools\autocompiler.exe.

If you need it, there's another way to compile the Spriter project by using scml.exe in the mod_tools folder directly. Start your Command Prompt, and drag the path of scml.exe, the path to your .scml file, and the path to your mod folder.

It should look something like this:

 

Png files that aren't in the exported folder can be converted in a similar way, but using png.exe instead.

 

Additionally, a helper file was provided by XHunter. http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/46849-tutorial-using-extended-sample-character-template/?p=590522

 

If for some reason the compiler won't work, sometimes you may need to get someone else to compile the mod for you.

If everything ran smoothly, we can work on the art next.

Creating art

Remember, you need an image editor with transparency support!

 

For Don't Starve Together, here's a useful tutorial/template for making the big portrait. http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/55518-how-to-set-up-a-dst-big-portrait-including-the-name-simple-tutorialtemplate/

 

 

All edits to images will automatically compile except for modicon.png. This is what we need TEX Tools for. If you decide to draw a new modicon, use TEXCreator to convert from .png to .tex.

 

The images in the bigportraits and images folders are meant to be automatically compiled by the autocompiler. You can also use png.exe in the mod_tools folder if you wish to do it yourself.

 

Though, if you wish to use TEXTools for these instead, convert the .tex files to png first rather than using the ones provided. This is to avoid crashing caused by textures that don't have dimensions of the power of 2.

Now let's take a closer look at how to draw our character's in-game art. Your character's art is in all the folders within the exported folder. Open the .scml with Spriter, which comes with Don't Starve Mod Tools. You can preview the changes you make by opening this. This will save you time as opposed to opening Don't Starve every time you make a change.

The template provided includes all animatable parts, but it's likely the character you wish to make doesn't need a certain part, such as hairpigtails, tail, and/or skirt. Rather than having to edit the .scml to remove these, you can clear out the .png files of these parts. This is why I included the folder esctemplate_cleared. You can simply replace a part with one of these cleared version to "remove" it.

 

Information on faces used can be found here.

Try not to change the dimensions of any part, unless you absolutely know what your doing. Changing the dimensions of the images will require editing the .scml as well, which includes updating the length and width of a part, and also having to recalculate pivots using this complicated equation if resized from the center of the image:

NewPivot = (OldLength*OldPivot+((NewLength-OldLength)/2))/NewLength

Additionally, this will make updating to future versions of the template a bit more inconvenient.

 

Don't forget to compile your mod to see the changes.

Cleaning up

If you've finally completed your mod, and want to release it to the public without taking up any unnecessary file space, you may want to remove some of your extra work files. (Though, if you like the clutter, you don't have to do any of this!)

Please back up your mod before deleting anything!

The entire exported folder can be removed, since everything compiles into the anims folder.

All .png files can be removed, since all image data is stored as .tex and .xml files. This includes the ones in the bigportraits and images folders, and also modicon.png.

Do not remove anything else.

 

Troubleshooting

If problems arise, check your log to see what the error is. For Don't Starve, this is located in Documents\Klei\DoNotStarve\log.txt. For Don't Starve Together, this is located in Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\log.txt

This is the basics for using this template. I hope this tutorial was helpful.

 

So, I loaded up the game after editing the character via exported but for some very odd reason, My character was invisible, Help?

[ImLuah]

Nice post!

Though I have a problem, I have edited the character and I have one into one problem, Just ONE, Which is that when I load up the mod in the game my Character's body doesnt show up. I can examine things, Fight, And even Harvest, But I can not see my character. My custom script works aswell. If you have any solutions to fix my character not appearing I would really appreciate if you could Respond and help,

Thanks, Luah.

I forgot to say something, I am making my mod for DST if that changes any of the solutions
