How to Enable FemaleBB Body Type Support for Pantoran Race
Hi All,

I wanted to put up a quick how to guide for making FemaleBB Body Type work with the Pantoran Race Mod.

Introduction:

This will require some light XML editing, if your comfortable with this great! If not I would be happy to help answer your questions.

I also strongly recommend that you save a backup of any mods that you attempt to change, this way you can go back easily if you break something.

I also recommend saving your current modlist to your local Rimworld mods folder. This way an update from the author will not automatically wipe out the changes we will be making.

Required Mods:

FemaleBB Body Type Support
FemaleBB Body Type Support for Aliens
Star Wars Pantoran Race Mod

How To:

Find the rimworld local folder for the Pantoran Mod (example: steamapps/common/rimworld/mods/LocalCopy_Star_Wars_Pantoran)

Navigate to the Def's folder *Note* this is located in a parent folder for 1.0 and 1.1 separately.

Navigate to the ThingDefs_Races folder and open the XML file labeled Race_Pantoran *Note* You can use any text editor to open and edit the file including notepad. I suggest Notepad++ or Dreamweaver if you have it.

Inside this file will be lots of text that determine attributes for the Pantoran race. you will be looking for the sections that begin with:

<alienRace>
<generalSettings>
<alienPartGenerator> <----- this is where you will be making changes

To add the FemaleBB Body Type support you will need to insert the following text within the alientPartGenerator container (between the opening <alienPartGenerator> and closing </alienPartGenerator>)

<alienbodytypes>
<li>FemaleBB</li>
<li>Female</li>
<li>Male</li>
<li>Fat</li>
<li>Thin</li>
<li>Hulk</li>
</alienbodytypes>

*NOTE* be sure to match the format the file is using including spacing, capitilization etc.

Additional Advice:

I usually add this below the following lines:

<useGenderedHeads>true</useGenderedHeads>
<useGenderedBodies>true</useGenderedBodies>

Textures:

The final step is copying the FemaleBB body textures into the Pantoran race mod.

Find your local copy of FemaleBB Body Type Support and copy the contents of the textures/things/pawn/humanlike/bodies

*NOTE* Copy just the .PNG texture files

Next paste these files into the Pantoran Race Mod's "bodies" texture folder (Example: PantoranMod/Textures/Things/Races/Pantoran/Body)

And thats it! Once done your copy of Pantoran Race is now compatible with FemaleBB Body Type. For testing I suggest using EDBPrepare Carfully, this will allow you to generate a Pantoran to check if the FemaleBB Body type is working properly.

Let me know if you run into any issues or have any questions. Goodluck out there and a huge thanks to the author!
