Hello, I have little knowledge with adding skins to the game, but I made a skin for the "Potted Succulent". I have the sprites, as well as the anim, build, and atlas files that I made from Spriter. Now, I don't know where to go from here, I tried to read the guide from the link attached to the mod description, but I'm having a hard time understanding it, is there an easier guide for beginners?

Есть ошибка, которая делает так, что древо навыков только на английском языке, хотя у меня стоит русский язык

There is a mistake that makes the skill tree only in English, although I have Russian.

bug, u cant use own skins
A_Pufferfish 14 Jun @ 10:24am 
Is there any way to add modded clothing? I wanted to allow other characters to use the shirt/gloves/pants/shoes from my skins.
Gouda 3 Jun @ 9:28am 
It seems like I can't use the glasses from skins I own, like Wilson's eyepatch is still locked. Is this an affect of the update you mentioned?

this mod no work any more?
Xubaluba 29 Jan @ 1:29pm 
After updating the mod skins of a mod character that I have not seen appear to be used anymore. And from what I said it only gave problems for official characters, but I am seeing many cases of unofficial characters with this same error. Is there a way to solve this?:steamsad:

Hey everyone, sorry for the inconvenience, as of the latest official Klei update, modded skins that apply skins to official assets will no longer work due to the recent modding restrictions.

Skins for modded content should hopefully still be working, though.
Until a workaround is found, or the update is changed/reverted, skins for official content seem like they'll be off-limits for the time being.
kosmica7 27 Jan @ 2:31pm 
hello! i was wondering if there's an issue with the mod? i cant use any of the skins of the mods affiliated to this one. :(
doctorCatster 13 Jan @ 12:32am 
I was told to contact Hornet to have my mod curated for the modded skins to work?
Willow  [author] 5 Jan @ 3:34pm 
Some skins have their glasses baked onto the face making it hard/impossible to implement them. Which skins are missing theirs?
lexand439 5 Jan @ 2:23pm 
this is completely optional, but I do notice that the added glasses section is missing a few of the glasses that come with skins. completely okay if you don't care for that, just wanted to point it out
V 4 Nov, 2024 @ 4:51pm 
any way to configrue the placement of the glasses on a modded character?

Hello, whenever I enable this mods, it always shows that there is something wrong with the server, etc. If I turn it off, it will be fine. I have tried it for a while and it is really a problem with Hat kid. I'm sorry:steamsad: @skylarr
TheDrunkenBootee 16 Aug, 2024 @ 10:59pm 
A recent update of this or The game has broken the (Demoman the Recodening) mod. It crashes everytime you pick the character for some reason. Saying somethin about skins. I am not sure. If anyone can figure out exactly why this mod breaks it for any reason a fix would be great. But deleting this mod seems to have fixed it.

some of the Playable Pets are invisible when i play as them with this mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=622471256

@Hornet Hello, when I use other character MODs with this mod, it will prompt that the non-latest version does not support use together.
Hornet  [author] 25 Jul, 2024 @ 7:37am 
@Marion Wheeler

Which mods and which skins? Thank you!

@橘子酱 @Sanguine's Valor

Do you have crash logs for me? Thank you!
Sanguine's Valor 25 Jul, 2024 @ 7:27am 
crashes whenever i open the gift box
橘子酱 13 Jul, 2024 @ 10:32am 
Hello author~ After the new version update, all other companion MODs related to this MOD have problems. Can you check the reasons? For example, the skin sometimes fails, or it prompts that the MOD is not compatible.
Marion Wheeler 11 Jul, 2024 @ 3:30am 
After a recent update, my MOD skins are all locked, may I ask what is the reason for this
千羽 5 Jul, 2024 @ 4:35am 
Sorry for the interruption allow me to interrupt.
Using this mod together with ShuoMa (id=2754469576) will cause all character skins to disappear, including the original game's.
I'm not quite sure which side of the fence to give feedback to, but I would very much like them to work together.

Please forgive and ignore me if this is rude.

崩溃了,说本模组不兼容这个,不知道哪个模组
Deimos 27 Jun, 2024 @ 12:32pm 
This may be crashing alongside with mods that use skins with the recent update, it doesnt show up in logs as a lua error, but just crashes before joining
Hornet  [author] 24 Jun, 2024 @ 8:39am 
[Continuing due to max comment size]:

The reason it is the "cause" of so many crashes is due to the bad code of the integrated API's these mods use. Unfortunately and admittedly they were originally designed by me as a way for mods to implement their skins within their own mods, but I was a very bad programmer at the time and the matter in which they were designed lead to bad compatibility issues like these in the future, and the nature of this integrated API and it's many versions being spread across many different mods does not help either. I hope that can help bring light

Hiya I'm unsure what you mean, if you're talking about your coment on the Bug Report thread I responded to it yesterday:

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1197290305695797331/1254821572976578675/image.png?ex=667ae328&is=667991a8&hm=f142c9010545bbc81a2b077c39b7d3f8bcc0f866cc79f4ca324b62d4cf235d7a&

If for some reason you can not see it on your own end the best I can guess is it's steam's authentication being very strange and not properly passing your comment as containing no harmful material, I am very unsure on this regard however.
ɅµЋƵƵ 24 Jun, 2024 @ 8:02am 
Deletes comments instead of addressing errors, pretty annoying that so many modded characters use this mod but it's the cause of many crashes.

@hornet VERY LATE BUT THE CHARACTER IS ZINNIA: THE DISMANTLER
Lucas 9 Mar, 2024 @ 6:05pm 
Good tidings, I hope this message finds you on good terms. Regarding your most recent changelog, "Old Skins API should not crash with this one now:" this would not seem to be the case with the TF2 Heavy, TF2 Demoman, and TF2 Soldier character mods as any of the 3 in combination with Modded Skins API cause a crash when selecting any character. I will be attaching a relevant pastebin of the crash for your perusal (https://pastebin.com/FdYMS8yZ) . Preliminary investigations shows that all 3 seem to be using a different version of the old, deprecated API than the typical mod. There could be more doing this, I'm not sure. I recommend investigating yourself, but it seems you may need further logic to prevent this version of the API from functioning.

While I'm at it, here is a paste bin for the Heavy's skin_api file: https://pastebin.com/RSSepUW5

@Deimos
Ah alright, good to hear! I'll see to some further testing and whether it's an issue on our mods end or not. Thanks!
Deimos 18 Jan, 2024 @ 7:52am 
I was testing this and yeah it was a bug problem with the mod wormhole telelocation
Hornet  [author] 17 Jan, 2024 @ 6:25pm 
@Deimos

Hi! I'm unable to reproduce either of these issues (The latter was specifically fixed in 2.5).
If there's more info you could provide, that'd be really helpful! (Perhaps a log too!)
Thanks!
Deimos 16 Jan, 2024 @ 11:10am 
I cant change the skin on my wormholes, its only changing some of them, im playing with cf, and that single wormhole has the rest of the skins that normal gen wormholes do not.

If i deactivate the mod, the wormhole skins work properly

Also, when changing a structure like a crockpot to a cf skin with a sweeper that one will stay every time you rejoin your world, even if you already changed it to another non cf one

Thank you this is helpful! There will hopefully be a fix next update to the mod.

Hmm, could you send your client lo after experiencing this issue please?

(Can I also know if you are playing with an online or offline connection?)

Hornet  [author] 12 Jan, 2024 @ 6:24am 
@wingsummer

Okay, I think I understand. This is my fault for writing the unlock requirements in a very easily misunderstandable way.
When it asks for a skin say, 'The Triumphant' for the shadow lenses, it means the original *Wanda* skin that the lens come from. You'll need to have Wanda's Triumphant unlocked to use these lenses.

My bad again, please confirm with me if that is indeed the issue/misunderstanding here.

I'll be updating way the unlock requirement is written for the next update, thank you!

wingsummer 12 Jan, 2024 @ 3:44am 
Hello. I reinstall the OS and the game on my another PC. The glasses skins are all unlocked... Can you solve it? Also, the "The glasses skin with unlock requirement can not be unlocked appropriately" issue is still unsolved on my game.
Hornet  [author] 9 Jan, 2024 @ 6:22pm 
@wingsummer
Aha yeah, I unfortunately can't do anything about that. Klei "cheaped" out a bit and used the 'swap_face' symbol for Wendy's hair, the same as our glasses and many other characters glasses do, sorry!
wingsummer 9 Jan, 2024 @ 6:09pm 
Another bug report: The hairs on the forehead are disappeared when wearing the glasses. You can dress the Wendy the super-natural set to reproduce it.
Hornet  [author] 9 Jan, 2024 @ 3:36pm 
@V

Hiya! Depends what you mean

If you mean from a user-experience, adjusting the positions within game, that is unfortunately not possible.

If you mean as a mod creator, to adjust the position of the glasses for your own character, it is unfortunately also not practically possible on your end and ends up very tricky.
However! I can still help you in this case! Just let me know about your mod character and i'll have it adjusted on my end next time I compile assets/update the mod. I've been adjusting for a few mod characters here and there.

Cheers!
