CeeJaylx Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Hello everyone, I'm new here to the forum and I've been working on a new custom character; The Black Mage. A character known from the Final Fantasy series. Ok I am not new to modding, graphic design or coding however this has been quite difficult for me and I'm following all the steps. My creation will not make it pass the character select screen. I've been working on this for 3 days now and I am just at a stand still,. If anyone could help please, I truly appreciate it. *From the looks of it, I believe the files just need to be compiled As of right now the game freeze/crashes upon adding the mod. I've attached the file... If anyone could get him up running and working. I'll happily split the credit The Black Mage.zip Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/55906-help-first-custom-character-the-black-mage/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobModder Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Well, there you go!Ya big koelephant!You probably have the same problem I had! You might need the autocompiler, found in ds mod tools on steam!I cant tell if you have it, but your anim folder seems to be empty!Anyways, once you download it, it will create the animations in the anim file when you run ds. Hope this helps, and if you already have the mod tools for don't starve, idk what to tell you.Hello everyone, I'm new here to the forum and I've been working on a new custom character; The Black Mage.

NoobModder Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 If you need me to, just ask me to compile the art if you can't do it yourself. I completely understand your troubles. Modding is frustrating, but you'll get there.

NoobModder Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Yeah... No files in anim, so I think he needs compiler. Nothing too big here that I saw though.

Noggle Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Uhhh. You didn't really look at the files. I don't know much about base Don't Starve moding, but the anims arn't whats causing the crashes in DST, as I've compiled them. There's a bunch of weird things such as 'blkmage.lua' in the scripts folder, being the character, not having common postinit and such. I'm working to restore it to something usable, even if I don't agree with the choice in stats by any means. Art is the hard part of this, I'd hate to see him lose motivation over some botched code.

NoobModder Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 K. You're right, I didn't look at all the files, but the compiling of them is the first step. Anyways, I don't know much about making characters, so I'll leave you to this *Winks* Good luck Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/55906-help-first-custom-character-the-black-mage/#findComment-652105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noggle Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Here's a working file for you. There seems to be something a little off with the head. This is working for DST. I don't know anything about base game don't starve, so if you want to make it work with that you'll need to check with someone knowledgeable on that. Also, I had to toss in placeholder avatars for 'blkmage' as none were provided. I've edited the modinfo.lua to make it not show as out of date for DST, and have set the reign of giants to false. Again, I don't know anything about regular Don't Starve, I'm just doing what I'd do for DST.Blackmage.zip Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/55906-help-first-custom-character-the-black-mage/#findComment-652106 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you say that because I sure was losing motivation. The art design was a piece of cake for me, it was the coding that was causing all the headache. I was about to just stick to WX-78 lol.

My apologies for the late reply. I've been playing/working with this mod for the past week, and still trying to get him finalize so I can upload him. I will definitely add you to steam.
