Modded Characters Inspection FIX

Description
This mod is intended for modded characters that are outdated for a long time and aren't being worked on from time to time, if you're a modder who works on modded characters up to this date, it's better to implement the new features from DST to your mod yourself rather than relying on this mod, just saying.


This mod fixes issues related to modded characters while inspecting players playing as them like the head icon and the head "skin" name.


Why download this mod?
Because it removes the annoying "Thingamabob" thing when inspecting some character mods and it also shows the wooden head texture, and the best thing about this mod is it's a client only mod!

Does it work with X?
This mod should function properly with all mods and it should work with almost every character mod in this workshop, although this mod may recieve an update to work with character mods that have their animation file names set to a different name from their character prefab name, I'm not responsible if there's a character that hasn't been affected by this mod yet.

Will Klei ever fix this issue?
I doubt they would, this mod is aimed to fix these problems with outdated character mods like Weston and Death. it does absolutely nothing with current character mods implying they already have these features added.

If you want to add these features to your character mod(s), follow these steps:

Step 1:
Put "build_name_override = charactername" into your character's prefab_none file, put it inside the CreatePrefabSkin function and replace "charactername" with your character's build name, like this:
return CreatePrefabSkin("jangton_none", { base_prefab = base_prefab, type = "base", assets = assets, skins = skins, skin_tags = tags, build_name_override = "jangton", rarity = "Character", })

Step 2:
Go to your modmain.lua file or whatever file you mainly put your strings in and put this code anywhere in the file:
GLOBAL.STRINGS.SKIN_NAMES.charactername_none = "Character"
As usual, replace "charactername_none" with your character's _none prefab name and replace "Character" with your character's name.

Isn't this mod kind of illegal?
It's not, this mod only changes the empty head icon for modded characters when inspecting them to the wooden head texture they're supposed to have and replaces the "Thingamabob" thing with the character's name, it doesn't do anything to the base game characters or modded characters who already have these features added, you wouldn't want to have a mod that automatically gives you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ which can lead you to getting banned would you? Because that's not what this mod is about at all.


If you feel like there's something missing even when you have this mod enabled, download the Oval portrait fix mod created by CunningFox which fixes the game not showing the correct big portraits for most character mods. (I was inspired by this mod)

if you want to fix the big portraits ,just put this code in the modmain.lua:

GLOBAL.PREFAB_SKINS["charactername"] = {
"charactername_none",
}



Note: charactername is which your character's name
