EmptyFork ( Make your own character! ) [ UPDATED! Again. ]

With this mod you can make your own looking characters with ease.
Or even put yourself into the game!

This mod contains a Read me file. But here it's contents anyways:
This gets updated more than the file.


Hai! I'm Caramel and this is how you can make your own character in Barotrauma.


Where do you find the mod ? ( After latest game updates it got moved again )
SteamLibrary > steamapps > Workshop > Content > 602960 > 2706927528
( Yes those numbers are actual folder names! )

Under Characters > Human
You can use the "Human_Body_Areas.png" to locate where you need to put your model's bodyparts.

Human_Body_Areas2.png is an example to how it's supposed to look.

I suggest using "paint(dot)net" or "gimp" to edit the files.


1. Open "Human_female_heads.png" or "Human_male_heads.png" to edit.

2. Use the "HeadsRanger.png" or "Human_Heads_location.png" to make sure you don't exceed the limit for each head sprite size.

3. If you choosed for example "Human_female_heads.png" you can edit "Human_female.png" to make a matching body.
Use the "Human_Body_Areas.png" to keep your textures within the limitations.
"Human_Body_Areas2.png" is an example how it supposed to look.
>> Be careful ! Every other character in the same gender will use the same body texture !



If you want to make it as your own mod:

0. Make sure Barotrauma isn't running.

1. UnSubscribe from this mod. ( This step can be skipped in newer versions )

2. Copy this mod's folder with it's contents ( Folder name probaby: 2706927528 )

3. Go to: SteamLibrary > steamapps > common > Barotrauma

4. Make a folder called " LocalMods ". ( You might have one already )

5. Paste the mod's folder into " LocalMods " and rename it. ( So its not a bunch of numbers )

6. Open the folder you just renamed.

7. Edit " filelist.xml "
> Remove " steamworkshopid ".
> Change the name and altnames.

Example:
<contentpackage name="My mod name goes here longer name" modversion="1.0.1" corepackage="False" gameversion="0.17.15.0" altnames="My mod name">

8. Launch the game and head to Steam Workshop ( in-game )

9. Go to publish and hopefully your mod appear there.

Hai! I'm Caramel and this is how you can make your own character in Barotrauma.

========= How to make your own model ===========

Under Characters > Human
You can use the Human_Body_Areas.png to know where to put your model's bodyparts.

Human_Body_Areas2.png is an example to how it's supposed to look.

I suggest using paint. net or gimp to edit the files.

1. Select a prefered image to change.
2. Make sure it has a number ( Human_female.png has no number! )
3. Edit this file accordingly to the Human_Body_Areas.png
4. Edit the Human_XYZ_head.png
> There are multiple heads. Make sure to edit the correct one!
( Example: If you have chosen Human_female_3.png to modify, edit the 3rd head in the Head.png file! )

======= How to upload it to workshop ==========
