Need help in adding custom perks

[cookiedragon101]

I've been creating this custom character for Don't Starve and I'm almost done just need to do the sprite and perks, but i couldn't find any guides or tutorials to help me.

The perks I'm trying to add are

1.being able to see in the dark

2.carrying a plush that regains her sanity

3. being able to eat monster meat without losing sanity 

is there any way to do this? If so please help

[whismerhill]

I suggest these :

1)

2) have you created the object yet ?

3) I think you can take a look @ component eater

for 2 I found this character mod and coping the coding off of it

and thank you

I'm having trouble for doing a character mod too, and I ALSO need help. I'm doing a 3 character mod, and so I have a few ideas, but I'm a beginner using a template, so I don't really know what to do. Here's my ideas:

[CakerKid555]

1. I need my character to have slow metabolism (I already figured out how to do that, with my template they included stat codes and other special affects)
2. I need to figure out how to make a readable notebook, so I can read it to gain sanity.
3. And I also need to figure out how to make my character afraid of the dark more (like wolfgang)

I would love it if you helped, and if you did, I can send you a prototype of the mod when I have decent progress.

it is a bad idea to hijack others threads because if cookie dragon has more questions on the subject, then the replies to you & him could intertwine & cause confusion.

Anyways, for your point 3 : the answer is in your question, look at wolfgang.lua in the base game xD

for point 2 : many many characters do exist on the workshop & klei downloads that include a bunch of objects

but I'm not interested in the prototype of your mod most probably. good luck

Sorry. I'm quite new, and still getting used to the concept of creating new conversations. But thanks for noticing.

look up the log file in documents/klei

then find the string "traceback", directly above & below it should be details of the error that happened

[cookiedragon101]

I did but I'm not very good when it comes to understanding crash reports but I got this :

ok I was fixing my object, but when I tried to apply the mod and it froze, and being the person that can't understand crash reports. I only got this:

...m/steamapps/common/dont_starve/data/scripts/util.lua:333: Could not find an asset matching images/inventoryimages/patches in any of the search paths.
LUA ERROR stack traceback:

help plz

[whismerhill]

I believe it's the same thing as before pretty much except this time it's an image asset that it can't find (.tex or .xml). If you can't find the issue I'll need more of the stack traceback

ok I fixed it to where it would stop freezing, but when I went to tested the mod it crashed. I looked in the logs, and it said something about a anim bank file, and I thought something went wrong in the anim file but when I looked over the tutorial and the anim.zip file, I saw nothing wrong. How do I fix this?
