Hello, I'm wondering how to make a custom item for the character and how do i give them perks?

I am having an issue with one of my characters when interacting with the wardrobe. The moment I go to exit the wardrobe, I get a crash, "{String 'scrips/networkclinetrpc.lua'}:1264:asserion failed!'
It refers to line 78 in the skins_api.lua, does anyone have a fix for this? I remember a couple years ago this issue came up, and the mod author had a fix for it, but I am unsure if they made another update.

for anyone having trouble on Linux: DST on Linux doesn't compile pngs to .tex, so go to properties, compatibility, then check proton experimental, it downloads the windows version of DST. launch the game, then when it's done compiling all the pngs you can switch back to the linux build by unchecking "force the use of a specific compatibility tool"

Hi! I love this mod and have been using it for years. I've recently started DST modding and noticed that some faces are missing for emotes such as /yawn.

No matter what I do, it keeps crashing.

what's the name of the character in the screenshots?

why this is so sample :sob:

Yes you can use this mod as a starting point for your commission.

Hi. I'd like to ask if I can use this mode as a commission. Using this mode, I will create a new character and sell it. You okay? Please reply.

oh this is very nice!

One thing that I've noticed is that headbase2 and hair-2, as well as their "hat" counterparts, are tilted about 3.5 degrees, both in Spriter and in game. Idk if this is something that carried over from the base game or not, but either way it's really bugging me becuase it means I have to draw those sprites at an angle to make them look right.

It keeps crashing when loading into world because charactername.zip isn't in the anim folder. I've retryed using compiler several times and that has not helped.

I know I probably won't get an answer, but I can't at all download this, any help is good, theres no download option

(thats in the xml file btw)

I actually found the answer simple enough the xml file for the names writen incorrectly by the auto compiler It should look like this <Element name="charactername.tex" if it hase the name_gold_charactername.text remove the name_gold_ from that
good luck and happy modding everyone

I am having an issue with the names https://gyazo.com/a411caca3b6ac38b0168ef9fab334b9d As you can see here where it says Warly and Wilson It should be showing the sample text and i cant seem to figure out why it isnt, This is not working in both the base ESC as well as the one i edited. Can you please help :) Thanks!

this character helped begin the careers of many mod creators. that is very epic.

Okay if u can read this this one on the steam page is a bit outdated! If you go to [ forums.kleientertainment.com ] and to the page where you can download this mod on your computer you will noticed that it has been updated on there but not on here! That's all

my head is not displayed in the game specifically at the back and on the sides in front of the head perfectly shows, and also the face and emotions of my character do not show what to do help ?!

I think it's bc the mod is out of date

I follow the tutorial up until it says to test the mod in-game, I do and it crashes.
The error is as follows on the loading screen that leads to the character select screen ('match' is the character name)
---

This is my first time coding hence why I used the tutorial, just renaming files and editing the flavor text and it crashes. I literally have no idea what went wrong. The discussion thread on common problems during coding doesn't help either because again i'm doing the most basic stuff and i don't know code jargin

hi, i found an issue with the animations, specifically in the clothes select screen. if you swap quickly from trousers to no trousers the leg suddenly jumps down as it completes the animation. (its leg 8 thats the texure) but its apparent on the sample character and not just some wierd issue with my own textures.

not sure how to fix this myself :/ and i havent found anything online just yet.

@Byte You only have to rename the ZIP
dont go into the zip and change anything because like you said, it compiles new ones.

GUYS! when your game crashes, check the log file
at the very bottom you should see why the game crashed. Ignore the warnings
My game crashed a few times when I used a sample and it was because my pc rendered some TEX files as 3d instead of 2d when i used the Tex Creator.
the log file can be found in:
Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\

I have a problem, I do all the steps, I open the game and I can choose my character, but when I load in it stays on a blank screen. HELP MEEE!!!!!!

I accidentally lost my original files, can I extract them from my mod to update?

i have an issue where it loads fine but i dont see the character in the character selection screen what do i do?

I'm having issues where when i try to rename the ghost anim files like it says in the tutorial it autocompiles a whole new file instead of using the renamed one, help?

Can anybody help me?
I followed the tutorial and when I want to play with the skin,the game just freezes when I try to enter the world for some reason.

@flora Hey flora! Thanks for answer. I wanna make my gf suprise. I found a character very looks like her. I only want to change names and perks* not the "art". But when i change modinfo etc. and names; character goes invisible. and before i choose it, nothing changes. (on character screen still old names and perks.) What i am doing wrong?

Is this still working guys? I need to create a new character but somewhere i read it is not working anymore. Please can you update it! :) OR is there any other options to create character

is this guide on the klei forums can be used for dont starve together ?

if i change the character it doesnt change ingame

where letters template?

I can't wait to get to work, thanks!

@GlaDOS Thanks, I tweak my character here and there and sometimes it complies and sometimes not. Went and checked and some faces were saved S 8 bit, I had no idea that was the thing. Saved them all to 32 and it compiled.

can u use photoshop?

Eye line is too low making all the hats seem off

everything works fine till character selection. But after selecting it i get a kind of white screen (loading screen or sth.) and it gets stuck there every time. Any ideas how i could fix this issue?

It never works, no matter how many times I try correctly, It never works. I've worked on this for 3 days, trying to make my own character mod, and when I run DST it either crashes, or comes up with an error message and forces me to disable the mod. Anybody got a solution?

you cant just one for one copy image into it

you need to like open up the head, and then paste in a new head that is about the same size, and then save the file

you have to do this for all the body parts

if you keep them close to the same size and position of what he provides, they will work really good

I actually just got my first guy up and running

so i made my own character using this mostly but i used textures from another mod since i cant draw for shit, and the mod loads up to the point where i get into the character select and then i can see each part for their body is massively the wrong size and some are in the wrong places, even though i use the scml file that said other mod was using, at first i thought it was cause i noticed it was 64 bit depth but fixing that didnt change anything even if i delete and recompile the zip file in anim it still is wrong

something that would really be helpful with this, is a text file to go with the faces, and list what the specific pngs are key frames for

example:

default face = face-0.png

face-1.png and face-2.png appear to be key frames for a blinking animation, etc

the reason this would be great, ist because then I could easily just go find expressions for my character and paste them over

heyy, looking forward if anyone could help me, i'm playing dont starve together, i dont have the original don't starve, so i have followed all the tutorials as it mentioned to install the mod for dst and of course i've been renaming the files from esctemplate to my character name but the mods only showed up on the server mods and i can't even enabled it

Hello! I'm having a problem where my custom lines wont show up, and its just Wilson's script. If someone could get back to me ASAP, that would be great

TweakBeak
1. Where do you have your mod stored in?
2. You have mod tools installed, correct?
3. Is every single file renamed correctly to the character name you want? (Assuming you haven't changed it from esctemplate)

Heyy, I've been having some problems I haven't seen any other people having. So, I managed to stop crashes and I loaded in as the character, all the custom lines were there but the character was a shadow, so I looked into it and I saw people removing zip files and having it turning out fine but for some reason only the ghost files are coming back for me so the game crashes anyway. I've been looking around for answers I can't find anything that works for me. I don't know if I did anything wrong of just how wrong I did it but if you could help I'd really appreciate it.

I did everything right, and it works, but when I try and change the torso, it does not work. No matter if I clear the torso, or change the texture, it does not work. I am editing the png rather than just drawing from scratch, but now nothing works, and I am lost.

There is a free version on their official website https://brashmonkey.com/
It also comes with Don't Starve Mod tools.

just checked its 60 bucks and theres no free version
