[Project] Wilson Beard Skins

[zVince]

As some of you know, me and @6480 we did the mod that fixed Wilson Snowfallen's beard. So we liked it so much that we decided to give continuity and release beard skins to the other skins of the Wilson.

But we are in a little trouble, we are not very good programmers. It would not be practical to launch a separate mod, beard by beard, ideally the beard would change automatically depending on the skin. 

We already have a coder, @IronHunter, thanks for contributing to the mod <3

Mod link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1379703510

We already have some concepts ready and we have already started working on the mod, also any suggestion of style of beard is welcome, gradually we will update the images that are here, see some:

 

Update 1: The code part of the Mod in server mode is ready. The beard changes automatically according to the "head" of Wilson used.

Update 2: Concept of triumphant Wilson beard.

Update 3: Mod icon added.

Update 4: Concept of Gladiator Wilson bear.

i only play as chinese furry oc mods but dang you this makes wilson look nice, kudos to you guys 

[minespatch]

My buddy @MatheusR31 has done some concepts before.

[Kyno]

Seems nice

Hmm wouldn't hooking into the beard components beard growth to change the callback functions to check for your characters headskin then overide the beard symbol with the proper equivalent be the foundation for this type of mod?

What exactly coding wise do you need help with?

Yes, the mod will analyze the character's head skin, then replace the texture of the beard. I know this is possible, on account of the mod"essential skins" that added skin to the ghosts according to the skin used ...

Using the skinner component

local skins = inst.components.skinner:GetClothing()
--returns a table of skins
for k, v in pairs(skins) do
	print(tostring(v))
end
--returns a list of all the skins
--can also be accessed via pointing to the table.variables
--local skins = inst.components.skinner:GetClothing() which returns 
--{ 
--   base,
--   body,
--   hand,
--   legs,
--   feet,
--}
--so skins.base returns the head skin for example etc.

Now that you have the way of getting the skin names e.g. wilson_ice

You'll have to inject some code into wilson's beard callbacks and make it so it updates when you change skins.

Looks good.

First public version, it is developed to be automatically extendable for all skins for wilson as long as the beards are set up properly.

It is also is currently developed for future characters that could have this feature.

Cool. Do you use the wardrobe in order to see if it works or do you despawn yourself and then choose a new skin?

[zVince]

When you change the skin in the wardrobe, it automatically changes

Looking good.

[Aquaterion]

is it on purpose that the ice beard's blue is not the same as the hair's blue?

[Wesminator]

Bless you FuriousBr, Wilson looks on point.

The difference in coloring is only sharp because I put the beard externally, but with the game station filters is almost Imperceptible, see ingame:

Mission impossible, how to fix Wilson Pigguard's beard?

[MrKoopa]

The only thing I can think of is if you take the image of the halloween face skin, take the nose and then put it on the beard skin and remove it from the halloween skin.

Maybe you can use

inst:AnimState:SetMultiSymbolExchange(" ", " ")

to make the face symbol go over the beard symbol?

Just use

if(beard)=buggy;donot

[zVince]

I'm thinking of removing the beard, and putting only a few hairs, to symbolize the growth, I've already tried to get the beard under my nose, it looks horrible anyway

 

[IronHunter]

Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin. A wicked goatee, wouldn't be too thin?

Wilson doesn't always need to have full face beards. Especially seeing as this is a costume and all.

[zVince]

Something like this? I tried a beard with more realistic hairs on the Wilson pigguard
