A character that isn't there


Recommended Posts

I am doing a sort of video art project and I am using Don't Starve to tell a story. I need b-roll, so basically I need shots of the world without my character in it. I therefore endeavored to create an invisible character mod. I have done a pretty good job so far, but there are some limiting factors I could use help with.

I have a mod that turns the UI off, also I used the Extended Sample Character mod to create the character by replacing all the art with its blank template counterpart, and rebuilt it using the mod tools on Steam. Then I deleted all the text in the quotes when the character says something at certain times like sunset or when she is in the dark. I also used the "Making basic character perks" tutorial to remove the tags scarytopray and character, so most mobs ignore me.

My problems are this: My character still has a shadow, so I can't do any moving shots (I have to hide behind something or hope the shadow blends in with the terrain). Birds, beefalo and killer beehives still react to me. While nothing appears on screen, I still hear Willow's voice at those environmental events. Also, I hate having to enable god mode and reveal the map every time I start.

So my questions are:

  • How do I get rid of my characters shadow?
  • How do I get all mobs to ignore me?
  • How do I remove all my character's speech text and voice sounds?
  • How do I trigger console commands when I load the game?

Even if it means injecting a bug in the code, I don't mind. I just need to have the game run 10-15 minutes at a time. Thanks.
