i second what mercury said, it´d be awesome if this gave face animations to vanilla pawns without extra mods

@Kiyoshi Senpai We are working on a mod "Kurin Meow Edition" which will use this framework.

so what mods use this?

@megabot framework only.

apologies for asking, is this a facial animation mod or is it just a framework?

I know only basic xpath patching, but ty for suggestion. Hopefully someone else will make an option like this someday then, because I don't see myself figuring it out ha

@MercuryRiver The 'requireHeadTypes' here is used to restrict Comps from deciding if a FaceTypeDef can be selected at random (the current Pawn will use a HeadTypeDef, If a FaceTypeDef has content in requireFaceType and not contains the HeadTypeDef that pawn is using, then it will not be randomly selected.)

@MercuryRiver, - Wouldn't the process be to configure the FaceAddon definitions, then apply to whichever ThingDefs you want via xpath operations? That would allow you to selectively or blanketly apply to whichever pawns you want.

Thank you for the response, but I'm afraid I don't understand any of it. I wasn't asking about making textures or anything, just like, if theres a way to have a default face load over every face instead of having to be done individually per mod, that's how it seems it works now?
I did try reading the github, but maybe still I don't quite get how this works.
There's a part that says
"If you not set 'requireHeadTypes'. this FaceTypeDef can be apply to any headtypes"
And so I'm wondering if there could be a default that does that. Applies to all unless overwritten or toggled off.
Im not sure I can explain any better so don't worry about it if that still doesn't make sense

@MercuryRiver The framework is completely independent, you can use it for HAR or the original Human. As for how to make faceAddon textures, just make them like hats or hair. It will be perfectly aligned with the head position, and as long as you FaceAddon it in accordance with the position of the head map, it will look exactly like you want it to look in the game.

Is there any way to make a version where it just applies automatically to all heads at standard vanilla position? With maybe toggle off option? I find nearly all the heads except very odd ones have eyes around the same place. I like this concept, but to have each mod need their own update using this I'm not sure it will ever have as much compatibility as I'd like to ever be able to use.

will there be a more simpler way to apply faces eventually later in time?
I'm not used to simple coding or what this stuff is so I'm not sure what to do.

@Belisar As mentioned in the introduction, this is a Framework that allows modders to add face addons to any pawn who has a head. These Addons can switch images based on Pawn status, which can be used to make facial expressions or other things.

@YariMurai Please check README.md in the mod, or you can go to github repo for more informstions.
The Mod I'm working on:"Kurin Meow Edition" which will be released in the near future, will use this framework.

I would like to know what this is about if you would :D Thanks very kindly for your time in any case.

how does this mod works and which races are compatible?
