Working on my first mod
« on: May 27, 2011, 08:27:28 am »

Well, i'm working on my first mod, and so far, I think i'm starting to understand how everything works. I keep getting this error, which i expected, because i am new to modding. Can anyone help me with this?

It looks like you want to use a body that doesn't exist. HUMANOID_SIMPLE_CHAO is not a vanilla body, so if you didn't add it, that won't work. What do you want the body to be like?

Actually, i created the HUMANOID_SIMPLE_CHAO. here it is:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I expect that i did something wrong, so i could use some help with this. Also, yes, THAT kind of Chao.

[EDIT] I changed it so that it was the normal Humanoid_joints. It works, and now i just have to get the normal things, like color variations... Can you help me with that? Also, how an i going to put in their Floating Orb?

Actually, you created HUMANOID_JOINTS_CHAO.

I'm not a modder, but I'm pretty sure DF needs exact names.

You could make the floating orb a body part, but it wouldn't really be floating like the way I figure you intend to.
As for color variations, I assume they're with normal skin? Not scales or anything like that?

Here you go.

Code: [Select]
[SET_TL_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:SKIN]
[TL_COLOR_MODIFIER:COLORS AND NUMBERS HERE]
[TLCM_NOUN:skin:SINGULAR]

With that after all your other raw tags the chao will have whatever skin colors you put in for COLORS AND NUMBERS HERE. Works along the lines of SILVER:1:GREEN:2 and so on. You can find this from pretty much any of the vanilla raw files and you can find the part to define their eyecolor too.

Pretty sure you could use it to define ANY bodypart with a specific color too.
