Actually it seems to work. The demon recruit is instead wandering around in Hub, not in the bar like my previous playthrough. No crash so far.

Does not work anymore. No demon in Hub as it always was. If the poster below had crashes then maybe it's because of the demon start. I started as Slave and went to Hub to get one but none there despite few imports.

I just spent a full day trying to fix this, but this mod unfortunately causes near-constant crashes with the current version of the game. it's a shame because it seemed super cool based on what little I was able to play it in between crashes. wish this one was still getting updates to make it playable!

IT WAS AWESOME...I had to attack it to make it run off (lost some rep with the TG......now I have to check my 'hospitals' to make sure he is not in there eating people

COOL STORY- So after adding this mod later in a game Something wonderful/horrible happened. I am allied with the Holy Nation and with the Thieves guild. I have insane weather mod also so the weather sometimes KO's Stacks residence. I set up a couple small shacks filled with camp beds to rescue my allies from further damage, Sky beams or fire tornadoes or poison gas...etc.. So I was rescuing a civilian and entered one of my 'hospitals' and there was a shinobi thief possessed by a demon EATING the unconscious people. Gives a whole new significance to the Inquisition..

Are player controlled demons able to eat bodies or just ai?

@Skinny Peter
The Demons are added at the same value as the other races in all 12 factions i added them too.
I always encounter atleast one or two demons in each of those factions squads.

How common are demons to find mixed in with groups like bandits and such?

Never done that before but i might give it a try :P
Are you sure its paint.net? It redirects me to warrenpaint which i think is something else

Well if you have a way to alter dds files it wouldnt be to hard to copy paste the files from that mod into your personal version of this one and then just do some slight adjustments to the textures and re attach them in the fcs. If you don't have a paint program for dds i suggest paint.net as it's only $3 or free for a month. When you open the normals and textures in a paint program you'll see what i've done isn't that hard. You could just grab the color from the ash demon and fill with overlay on the nude mod body texture and that would do it :D you wouldn't even need to change the normal, just attach the nude mod normal and repainted texture (now saved in your personal version of this mod folder) while in the fcs.

The nude mod from Nexus, it works on normal models but not for yours. I tried replacing the dds from yours with the one from the other mod but nothing changed.

But i'm not trying to change the way the demons look, i actually like the skin, simply to remove the "bandages" from the ashdemons for example.

Now if it simply doesnt work together thats fine, it doesnt matter that much anyway :P

I've used the games textures and just modified them, they are saved like the other textures as dds.
Which mod? I'm not sure what they've done to change the textures but If it's a similiar process to what I've done then each texture has to be altered and replaced in a mod file. I doubt there is an easy way to apply those textures to my characters.

Hey! been ejoying your mod and building my own demon empire :P but i had a question, ive also been using another mod which changes the base textures of some models, since yours are custom is there any way to make them work together ? they are .dds related

Sounds cool, while the creator of kenshi is done with the game except bug fixes, i did hear he might make a mod tool which makes it easier to mod the game?

Unsure if that is true but it would be cool for you guys

Np :)
Glad you figured it out. Really cool that you could keep your old squad too.
I wish there were a way to do it in the fcs to make it happen during the game. The original idea for the first version of this mod was demons changing other races over :D
In the Narko mod I'm about done with, the population is assimilated into dark ones through town takeovers :)

Replying yet again sorry xD

But for anyone interested, i did find a way to get your imported characters to change races, this guide helps you https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1370334383&searchtext=save+editing .

Finally able to make my main character i had since the very beginning into the race i wanted!

I'll just stick with it and hope someone is able to make a race editor or something :P

@R4MPZY
Sorry but my experience with altering an existing save was not a good one either. >.<
You could edit the stats of the demon recruits in the fcs before recruiting them to match any existing character you want to replace. This would also require an import after changing their stats in the mod, then you just recruit them and rename them and dismiss the old squad member.

Sorry but i'm back with another question :P So when i first found out about this mod i wanted to change the race of my main guys ( imported since way back in EA ) and i tried using the race changing guide on the guide section but it does not seem to work, do you have any ideas about this ?

Alright thanks Howls@TheMoon, and thank you for these mods!

Some you will find wandering their city, some will be standing around and some you will find sitting in a bar. I think it depends on which city they spawn in as they all have the same ai as npcs.
Ussually you can spot them but if your in a listed city and don't notice one, just talk with everyone with a chat bubble and you'll find the demon recruit eventually.

Ok thanks i will import next time i fire kenshi up :P

So what do you mean with you have to find them? Are they in a random location in the city or do they hang around at the bar like most ?

Import is a good idea when adding characters from a mod, it seems the best way to insure everything shows up properly.

Does the mod require importing into a new world or is it save game compatible?
Can i find them in bars like most ?

Sounds like a steam issue, i have heard of others loosing mods and having to restart steam to fix it. If they reverted to normal humans it means the mod is not on.

This morning my Demons Reborn mod started to fail and now all my demons have fallen back to a normal human, not sure why.

It would be a ton of work but perhaps using the raid and world state systems killing each npc could spawn a recruit as a raid.. that way they could even change race to a demon. I'll play with it but I'm currently working on a world conquest mod as I've just figured out how to let the player take ownership of cities! :D
If you wanting more recruits sooner though check out my Yes Master mod, almost every npc will be recruitable if they have shackles or you can just make them follow and help with mercenary commands.

@ZSkeleton
I got you, but I'm not sure if it that is possible using a corpse furnace. The furnace requires a corpse and it instantly gets rid of the body. I have tried using that one for other things and because it instantly gets rid of the body there is nothing left to work with.

Hope you get my meaning I did not word that well at all

To add new demons why not make it so if you kill someone then perform an action it disposes of there body and brings you to a character crater and allow you import or make a new but as I said it requires a body to be inserted

No they eat any normal food, raw meat is just added as a special food :D

do they only eat raw meat?

Well, if you find a way to do it, i'm willing to pay heavy

Well I knida wanted ALL your races as enemies. But iwill do it myself sometimes if you dont want to bother, though I know not how

Where you interested in using the assests? Or would you like me to put together something?
Demons as a seperate faction, no demons in other faction?, no recruits?
I have yet to put in a new city in a mod as it always seems to mess with pathing when using those mods for me, but there are lots of broken down towns that could be used for them like i did with the hub in bounty quest. Let me know what your thinking :D If your making your own mod though feel free as well.

Well what I'm looking for iss to use them as enemies so thats why I asked about seperate factions

In this version they are added to alot more factions, they make those factions abit tougher though lol. I would suggest using one of my character mods with this one like Kehsans or Moonlanders unless you like a tougher challenge early game. Also this and the others are included in the new Mortal gods mod where they are all nerfed to vanilla race stats making it closer to the base game experience.

ooops NM.

can I make them an enemy faction?

NO WAY around it? Maybe you can contact the devs. They might give insight. Possibly.
I mean I wouldn't mine changing cannibalism to biting. But rip cannabilism then lol. Or create something similar to it?

fcs? Factions?

None of that works unfortunately, there are certain things like adding a command box to the UI to give to orders to playable characters that can not be done in the fcs.
It would all have to set up with dialog and merc type commands if anything, No bite, no temporary powers or anything is possible.

I just beg you.. Don't use the eating animation as the bite animation.

Let us bite sleepers as well! If possible, maybe have speed buffs, short term invincibility, other buggs, etc as powers?

@[TVM]Miss Chloe
Since i've learned quite abit more and recently learned how to make free merc type servants (see Yes Master mod) I was thinking about revisiting the idea too :D

The first version of this mod was born from that very same idea! :D Before i started modding i made a similar request on a Vampire mod,
Howls@TheMoon Jun 10 @ 12:22pm
I would like to see a mod that introduced 1 vampire into the world that could bite and change the character to vampire. If the player as vampire could use stealth k.o as "bite" and tie that into recruitment somehow then you could bite recruit and build a massive vampire army!

If you can, make a vampire race mod and allow us to drink blood and bite! Would pay you!

@ZSkeleton when I started my first mod, (an earlier version of this) that is exactly what I had in mind to try and do. I imagine like a stealth bite that could turn other characters into demons.
There is no way to change race in game sadly so it is impossible to do as a mod.

since a demon is supposed to be a person that was reserekted you should make it so you have a chance to make more out of fallen human

sure looks likeyou are hyped for your work, a demon start would be nice, as in the character is the only demon, when the game is finally 1.0 Ill be on the lookout for your mods

The big character mod im working on has 6 Moonlander, 6 demon (2 of each race), 6 Kehsans and 1 Sylvai with all races nerfed to vanilla race stats and much lower starting lvs, as well as all the gear being matched to vanilla. The demons there appear in far fewer factions out in the wastes and Kehsans have been added to spawn in with Shek.
