[Tutorial] Using Extended Sample Character Template

[JadeKnightblazer]

Yeah, the game will crash if the compiled builds don't show up in the anim folder. Sometimes the autocompiler pretends the scml project doesn't exist. This seems to happen to some people, and I don't quite understand why.

 

There's an alternative way to compile by using scml.exe in the mod_tools folder directly. Start you Command Prompt, and type the path of scml.exe, the path to your .scml file, and the path to your mod folder.

It should look something like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Mod Tools\mod_tools\scml.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dont_starve\mods\extended sample character\exported\esctemplate\esctemplate.scml" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dont_starve\mods\extended sample character"

If this works for you, I'll update the tutorial to include this.

 

 

Please include this into the tut. Was the only way for it to create the .zip needed in the anim file.

 

How would I go about for this for custom items? rather then characters

Is there any way to change the layering of things? Like the face being under the hair? If it's editing the scml file in notepad++ can you explain what I have to do?

[MakeshiftDemon]

I can't edit my previous comment so I'd also like to ask if I can put the feet below the legs? The character I'm making wears baggy long jeans and they almost drag on the ground. Do you advise against layering the legs above the feet or the hair above the face?

Ok, so I made a character mod from the regular character mod template and i decided to use this one to make my character even better and finish it and whatnot. So basically I'm starting from scratch with this character template but I'm filling in the blanks with the same stuff I put into the first version of my mod (I'm very very new to modding) so I followed this guide until I got to the part that said this:

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.

 
So I decided to test the mod out. I opened don't starve, I let the compiler do its thing, the game opened, I clicked on mods then my mod and apply. Then it said something like "This mod is disabled cause it failed" and then the game freezes and crashes I think. I found the log and I can't make anything out of it, anyway this is what it says

So if someone could help me with this, I'd really appreciate it. I don't know very much mod terminology or anything and I doubt this will be my last issue I run into that I need help with so please be patient with me.

Thanks.

I can't edit my previous comment so I'd also like to ask if I can put the feet below the legs? The character I'm making wears baggy long jeans and they almost drag on the ground. Do you advise against layering the legs above the feet or the hair above the face?

 

I actually had the same layering problem, but with the hair and arms (since my character doesn't use sleeves).

I found that fixing it is a real hassle, but it can be done.

In any free time - here goes my DS log :/ 

 

Things NOT working:

 

1.houndmoundcraft.xml (hound mound picture in Recipes Tab) > mod has CRAFTING (works) and craft tab pic (never worked). But there  is no item itself - not like modded item works - it's just a recipe added..

 

2. I sticked "bellstaff" item with "wakkari" character mods.. Then DS started to crash on start up, during making world. Separetly - they worked fine.

 

3. "Eater" part:  monster meat eating + spoilage ignore + only meat eating works. When I add "no sanity penalty from raw meat" then: monster meat eating without penalty stops to work.. 

 

I really have no idea if it's anywhere in the log... 

 

Thats for the free time of any of you who are smarter than me with this  

 

 

Also once again thank you very much Dleo for this beefalo part ^^ You made my day with it.

Hey! I'm just about done with the art of my character and I wanted to test it out and see it, except I have a problem, well, a lot of problems.

 

I'll attach what it's suppose to look like(via the spriter) and what it turns out in game as

 What it should be

 

 

 What turns out

 

 

 

 

 

Anyone have any ideas what went wrong and what I do to fix it?

To add on to my previous post(Still can't edit posts), I've done a bit of looking around and testing, It appears that Atlas-1 in the anim folder, the tex document is roughly half the size it should be (I open it in TextTool after dragging it to my desktop) I tried deleting the anim folder and recompiling it, I've tried dragging my current image files to a fresh copy of the template and deleting the anim folder again, both times I end up with the same result. I haven't changed any image size or resolution, I haven't moved, resized or changed any layering in the spriter.

There were a few syntax errors in the function sanitychange. There also isn't a WILSON_SANITY_MULT, so it should be 0.5.

 

local function sanitychange(inst,data)    if inst.components.sanity.current <= 50 then        inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 1    else        inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 0.75    endendlocal fn = function(inst) -- choose which sounds this character will playinst.soundsname = "wendy" -- Minimap iconinst.MiniMapEntity:SetIcon( "sari.tex" ) -- Statsinst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(150)inst.components.hunger:SetMax(120)inst.components.sanity:SetMax(100)inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 0.75inst.components.sanity.night_drain_mult = 0.5inst.components.sanity.neg_aura_mult = 0.5inst:ListenForEvent("SanityTsuki", sanitychange) end

I love you... thanks A LOT! 

 

OMG how I can forgot put end in the if sentence... I'm so silly xD

 

 

___________________________________

 

I DID IT!!!!!

 

local fn = function(inst)

 

-- choose which sounds this character will play

inst.soundsname = "wendy"

 

-- Minimap icon

inst.MiniMapEntity:SetIcon( "sari.tex" )

 

-- Stats

inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(150)

inst.components.hunger:SetMax(120)

inst.components.sanity:SetMax(100)

inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 0.75

inst.components.sanity.night_drain_mult = (0.5)

inst.components.sanity.neg_aura_mult = (0.5)

inst:AddTag("SanityTsuki")

 

end

 

PROBLEM SOLVED, IT DOESN'T CRASH!!!!

 

but... It doesn't do the sanitytsuki function.

 

this is the SanityTsuki tag

 if inst.components.sanity.current <= 50 then

  inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 1

  inst.components.locomotor.walkspeed = (TUNING.WILSON_WALK_SPEED * 1.5)

  inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = (TUNING.WILSON_RUN_SPEED * 1.5)

  inst.components.talker:Say("Happy mind !")

 else

  inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 0.75 

  inst.components.hunger:SetRate(TUNING.WILSON_HUNGER_RATE * 2)

  inst.components.locomotor.walkspeed = (TUNING.WILSON_WALK_SPEED * 1)

  inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = (TUNING.WILSON_RUN_SPEED * 1)

 end

Can I ask if anyone knows how to give them specific items when they spawn in like willows lighter or how to make certain things reduce sanity ect?

[ZackOcs]

I'm still thankful for this awesome tutorial to this day. Thank you.

 

I heard this was over used, but I want it anyway since it fits perfectly for my other character.

Anybody knows the right coding for making a character transform when his sanity is half way taken down? and transform back normally when his sanity is back? It should change his appearance as well like wolfgang.

I've tried many codes and searching, but no luck, he doesn't transform, so I am stuck, any help would be awesome.

Or if someone has a mod like this, and if its allowed, I'll like to take a look at it.

Sorry if I am a bother.

[MakeshiftDemon]

Hey! So I'm helping my friend make a mod and we have just about all the program stuff done, and I'm trying to get it in working condition before she starts the art portion of it because then I can let her go off and do her own thing with it, but I've hit a wall with her mod. I've been normally able to fix her problems with it up until now. I'll attach the log she last sent me.

 

 

 

Here's the only part of the log that mentions her character "blanche"

Which pivot points (in file .scml) should I change so hats will fit better on my characters head?

[LittleTacoBear]

Can you please do a video for how to make a DST character? I downloaded the DST example template and followed the video )even though it was for DS) But it says that its kind of the same, and no matter what I do I cant seem to get the DST one to work ._. can you please help me?

[justjasper]

This has been super useful and simple to understand so far!

[MetaGab]

Got a "TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable" after atempting to compile the DST version

[RedRock911]

So my character is pretty much done, but I need to align some parts, I can pretty much use spriter to do that if I wanted to can't I? If I do, are there any repercussions I should worry about?

 

[MetaGab]

You can't move stuff in Spriter, you have to either move it on the individual png or change the pivot points

[RedRock911]

thanks for the info! working on it now!

[Estorm732]

Yes, about that, is there a good tutorial for altering pivots?

The template is great, but it has limitations. For example, I'm trying to make a single ponytail instead of two, from center of back of the head. The only way to achieve this is by altering the pivot points I suppose, if not gonna make it a static part of the head...

Well....what ive learned is, you can alter "where " those ponytails are by just moving the drawing inside the layer.

 

In Gimp, you can select all, then select float...then move it around. use the spriter to see your changes, until you get it  it lined up to where you want it. run the game and see if that worked,

 

Got my toon up and running, trying to figure out how to make him a follower. But being I'm very new to coding anything, I'm having a tough time. I want to add him a follower (it's flapjack, im trying to make knuckles atm for him) that can be, at this point a container, kinda like a permanent chester. But Im only at the research part of knowing how to do that. 

But I'm determined, in a week or so i'll have figured it out,

 

speaking of, anyone know a good program that can make sound files or clips.....preferably free? 

 

 

 

OH CRIMMINY! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TUTORIAL!!!! IM PAYING IN IMAGINARY DOLLARS OF LOVE! (THERES MILLIONS)

I've been able to solve all the other problems I've come across by my self, but I can't get past this one :

error loading module 'speech_wal' from file '..\mods\Walker\scripts\speech_wal.lua':

     [string "cannot OLDFILEACCESSMETHOD @..\mods\Walker\scripts\speech_wal.l...."]:344: '}' expected (to close '{' at line 113) near 'TURF_MARSH'

"wal" is the name I used for all the stuff, obviously. I get that it wants another }, but I'm not sure where.

Forgive me if you've been through this already on this topic, but I got bored of reading through 9 pages fast.

Thanks in advance.

@Tilas300 You might also be missing a comma. If you provide your code, someone may be able to spot it for you. Check right before line 334 (on line 333 or 332).
