Attempt at ripping off Wolfgang : Fail 1

[Fancy_Fox_Pers]

Hello! Before getting things started, please do consider I haven't mod for a long time now, so dumbing down replies would be most helpful . Thank you.

I'm making a character using the same mechanics as Wolfgang but using sanity instead of hunger. Health should not affect the character either. Here's the prefab file:

Issues :

-The character's texture files disappear in game whenever going into wimpy or mighty form. Why? I'm using for these forms respectively the anim files "amaury_blue" and "amaury_black". These anim files are exact copies of the anim file "amaury" used for the normal form, with only the build renamed using Build Renamer. So why does the character turn invisible?

 

-I have no clue how to properly change the hunger system to sanity. Not because I don't know how to change "Wolfgang hunger tuning" to "Wolfgang sanity tuning" but because I want to enter my own values. How can I enter such coding where I have to enter which values of sanity will make the character go from one form to another?

 

-How do I delete the health change without breaking the game?

 

Thank you for reading, any help will be greatly appreciated .

You can find tuning values in data/scripts/tuning.lua, you can add your own in modmain.lua using:

 

GLOBAL.TUNING.YOURVALUEHERE = 123

 

Alternatively, you can replace all the "TUNING.SUMTHIN" in your prefab file with hardcoded values. That's easier, but less flexible.

Great! I didn't know how to make my own tunings, thanks! Any idea on how to fix the texture problem though?

 

Thanks for the quick reply as well by the way

[Fancy_Fox_Pers]

Update : I have figured out how to change the mecanic from hunger to sanity, same goes for the health problem. Only thing I still don't understand is the texture bug. Just to be clear, I used the same anime file for the "normal" state and for the "wimpy" and "mighty" forms for testing purposes (with the only difference being the build name thanks to Build Renamer so the game doesn't crash) but the character becomes invisible when entering "wimpy" and "mighty" form and is visible during "normal" form. Please help me out, guys

Again, by the way, thank you @Mobbstar for the advice. I was able to fix the values

 

Edit : I fixed it! Silly me, turns out you should always make sure to save your renamed build as "build.bin", I never put in the ".bin" part
