Kzisor Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 @PanAzej, thanks for taking the time to put this together. I hope it wasn't too much trouble getting it all sorted. Hopefully now we will start seeing mods which will truly impact the game with new concepts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a previous character mod, I shifted the hair sprite to the far back since it's originally between the torso and head. Now I'm working on a new one, and can't get the hair sprite to go back to normal. Since I've asked that question, my character won't even show up now...

Developer PeterA Posted March 16, 2017 Developer Share Posted March 16, 2017 Are you just replacing the character's build, and not making your own animation? The layering order is determined by the animation, so if you are just using the base animations from the game (wilson's animations/stategraph) with a new build then you won't be able to override that layering. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gran Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Little question about animations and stuff. I was working on a character mod that i wanted it to fly instead of walking. Back in that time, i've searched so hard about it, but i wasnt able to find anything. This topic is well related to my issue... so, anyone have any ideia to how can i change the base animations? A little tutorial could be helpful! I'm pretty newbie about this, but i know the basics and i'm looking forward to make it happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say yes. I'm not exactly sure, still new to this. Is it the files in the anim zip folder? Do I fix the problem by copy and pasting those files from the template and into the mod's? And would this tool help move sprites? The character I'm working on has a wide grin, so the default cheek placement looks off when eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer PeterA Posted March 21, 2017 Developer Share Posted March 21, 2017 @icantevenname I don't think you want to just replace the zip files, though I'm not really sure what issue you're seeing. My recommendation would be to check out the extended sample character template by @Dleowolf  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SephVII Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) Just to clarify no time to check myself right now, but it is for custom animations about how much customization we still need all the parts for the charackters like in Sample charackter i guess. But we can just make new animations beside the default ones right ? So speaking of working more with Spriter how we pleases.

Aquaterion Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 How does 1 go about adding a different state for a limb? such as ARM_normal or HEAD_hat to be used with :Show()/:Hide()? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing special about them, they are just layer/folder names that are turned on/off by the gameplay code depending on if an item or hat is equipped.

Is it? I tried using this template and changing ARM_carry to something else and I couldn't seem to manage to get it to work.(tested with ThePlayer.AnimState:Show()) Just to be clear, I am trying to add a new "limb state" for all characters. Would I need to make a copy of ARM_carry and modify it, or can i just change ARM_carry since its already in the in game wilson animations? Wouldn't I need to alter the default animations that would use this new "limb state", such as idle and what not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer PeterA Posted January 16, 2018 Developer Share Posted January 16, 2018 Yeah, I'm not sure if there's a way to modify the existing animations by inserting new animation data into an existing anim, so you'd need to override the entire anim bank that a character is using, which may require a new stategraph (or atleast modify the existing stategraph to always use your anims when your new state is active). I might not be understanding exactly what you're trying to achieve though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might not be understanding exactly what you're trying to achieve though. I'll give an example of what I'm trying to achieve; There is a weapon that is held differently than normal weapons, so ARM_carry isn't really cutting it. So I tried to create ARM_special, so when this weapon is equipped, I would use Animstate:Show("arm_special") instead of Animstate:Show("arm_carry").

Developer PeterA Posted January 16, 2018 Developer Share Posted January 16, 2018 Ahhh yeah, I don't believe there's any way to inject your new animation layer into our existing animations. You'd need to override all of the animations, idle, run, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanAzej Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 No problem! Another update: I've improved the order of layers, fixed the swap_object symbol and added an unpacked character insanity animation for people for looking into/testing purposes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesisBless Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Hey, sorry as I see this thread is kinda old and don't really want to necro but at the same time I had a few questions. So I was linked to this when asking about what I could use to kinda work on spriting my custom character into the game since I'm a bit new to this whole experience and needed a bit of help figuring things out, so what I wanted to know is if this could be used for that, and also would I be able to do custom idle animations with this? (Such as the side-scratch when facing away from the camera, or the rock-kick when facing left or right). I've never worked with Spriter before and I've never modded in DST before, so you can see where I'm a bit intimidated. So far I've found a pretty useful template for custom character modding and the guide is almost perfect (There are a few things that weren't really covered or described, and it was a bit out of date), but other than that, I'd really really like help if at all possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blood_Market Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I still, for the life of me, figure out this custom animation template. I have no experience with modding what so ever, so trying to figure out this makes my head go in circles lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakuzashi Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Hi. Could someone tell me how to make my animation activated by attack or any other action in game instead of RMB click ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
