So if my default character (let's call them John)'s was in exported/john/ and all of the files with the heads and everything was in there, if I were making john_formal, would i just make a john_formal file in exported that contained all of the same files from the default?

code4240 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Has any explanation been given as to why clothing skins and skins for official characters are forbidden? Not being able to create clothing under any circumstances honestly sounds really useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modded clothing skins are forbidden because then others would be able to use said skin, aka, official characters, AKA, skinning official characters. And making skins for official characters is forbidden because then someone could just make bootleg GoH, Survivor, Triumphant, Roseate, and Costume skins for themselves if they didn't have any. Make sense? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sense? I understand the logic but not the reasoning. I don't see why this would be any more offlimits than, say, modding maxwell to be playable from the start in single player. It's not like skins cost money or something. ...unless this would somehow allow people to use those skins on servers that didn't have the mod, which doesn't seem possible to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you can just give yourself maxwell with a console command, mod not necessary. And for your other point, skins technically DO cost money through the use of the Steam Market. Why buy that Wendy Triumphant you've been looking forward to for weeks when you can just bootleg the skin through the use of this Skins API? It would blow the market's economy way out of proportion and everyone would lose sales. Including Klei. Steam and the respective game company, in this case, Klei, get a small cut of the sales when items, in this case, skins, are purchased from someone selling their item on the market. That's why you don't get the same amount of money that your items sells for on the market. TL;DR, Steam and Klei will lose sales from the market if official characters and items were allowed to be skinned with the Modded Skins API. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually looked for a place to do so because I suspected the slight possibility, but I couldn't remember where the steam marketplace was located or what it was called because I never use it. Mostly because I'm the type of person that tends to think paying money for content in a game that wasn't free is laughable. I guess that makes sense then. Shame though because I'd been thinking about creating a doll-type character who came with extra skins so you could dress them. Guess I'll have to build some other system if I ever want to do that.

You may not be able to make singular clothing items, but you can still edit the entire character's look, including the body, through the use of the head slot skin. Or another workaround could be just editing the body slot alone and leaving the head as-is. @CheeseNuggets101 did this with his Medic, Engineer and Spy mods with their BLU skins. Here's a picture example of what he did: Spoiler 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidooop Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 Updated the tutorial to make it a liiiiittle easier to read and included some of the new functionality added in recent updates. Namely, the ability to set a base item's atlas when adding a new modded skin and the ability to set a function when replacing items for a modded skin starting inventory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how did you get those portraits? Did you do hardcore Photoshop and edited out character from a portrait of a character since I don't see any empty portraits in Klei's folder stuff, also thanks for the portraits I will at some point be obtaining the gladiator portrait and will update the portraits on this thread. As to how? Not sure if I'm supposed to keep it a secret or not so I'll just keep it a secret. Also, I'll soon be updating Modded Skins and Mods in Menu to work with the new Forge UI! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I don't think anybody's used the API to make skinned structures yet. If you like, you can check out the "Ron, the Luck Seeker" mod, that has one skinned item, to see if that'll be of any help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
