Colonist Creation Mod v2.3c
Description:This mod opens an additional colonist creation menu upon map generation (after the crash landing message) that allows the ability to choose how many colonists you start with, their names, gender, age, starting graphics, backstories, traits, skills, passions, and starting equipped weapon. You can also export a set of colonists to import later.(http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb260/oblivionburn/v22-Screen1.png)

Version Log:
v2.3c:
- Fixed a bunch of the work restrictions not being interpreted correctly to disable skills
- Hopefully improved the accuracy of matching the imported Adultstories with the indexes that were exported
v2.3b:
- Made the Hairs with the 'MaleUsually' and 'FemaleUsually' variable be available for both genders
v2.3a:
- Added some exemption lists to the BaseMapGenerators.xml file for use in the All In One Mod Pack (http://"http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=4797.0")
- Added a true/false option called 'choice' in the BaseMapGenerators.xml, which when set to true will enable the "Use the Colonist Creation Mod?" popup for use in the All In One Mod Pack (http://"http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=4797.0") (it's false by default)
v2.3:
- Added support for other languages
- Added a 'Translations' folder, which holds the xml files referenced for translations
v2.2b:
- Added a button prior to the enhanced creation menu, which asks whether to use the Colonist Creation Mod or not (for those using the mod in the All In One Mod Pack (http://"http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=4797.0") that wish to use the original colonists)
v2.2a:
- Fixed being able to import groups of colonists larger than the selected colonist amount
v2.2:
- Added a difficulty selection screen, before choosing the colonist amount, with choices of:
- Easy (3-5 colonists w/ 40 skill points to distribute + backstory bonuses)
- Normal (2-4 colonists w/ 20 skill points to distribute + backstory bonuses)
- Hard (1-3 colonists relying only on backstory bonuses)
- Insane (1 colonist relying only on backstory bonuses)
- Made the skill points reset upon changing the backstory (in the default version of the mod)
v2.1:
- Added a true/false option in the BaseMapGenerators.xml to enable the creation menu to be matched to the pawns generated in the background and not simply base templates (false by default)
- Re-added the whole list of Traits to choose from
v2.0:
- Fixed the traits getting scrambled after saving a game and reloading it
v1.9:
- Changed the Skin Color selection from a set of color sliders to a named selection with left/right buttons (should fix the bugs resulting from 'unrecognized' skin colors)
v1.8d:
- Removed the Incendiary Mortar and Explosive Mortar from the list of starting weapons to choose from, since a colonist cannot actually fire one anyways :P

- Fixed a bug with the Hair Tags causing the exports to fail
v1.8b:
- Fixed a bug with the hair not resetting after the gender has been changed
v1.8a:

- Fixed the starting weapons not being individual per colonist
v1.8:
- Fixed an import bug with the Adulthood Backstory
- Added the ability to choose a weapon that the colonist will start equipped with (should detect weapons from other mods)

- Made the hairs available dependent on gender
v1.5a:
- Re-added the Power Armor
v1.5:
- Fixed the head disappearing when changing gender to female
- Hopefully fixed the skills importing correctly (will require a new set of colonists exported)
- Fixed the disabled skills due to Backstories (some were not being interpreted correctly due to wording)
- Changed the skill cap to 15, so the Skill Passions seem less pointless
- Exports from previous versions will not import correctly with this
v1.4:
- Fixed the childhood/adulthood stories showing up in the wrong lists (should drastically reduce the amount in each list) and ordered both lists alphabetically

Should work now in v1.1
I've tried to spawn several new games ranging from 1-5 colonists with different skills, styles, cloths, and the like and no matter what after creation the drop pods will not fall to spawn them. This is with the V1.0 and also the v1.1 that I'm testing out now as well with no luck. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not. It's the only mod in my Mods folder so it's not crossed with anything, and I didn't touch any files so I don't know. If I find something I'll let you know!
Drop pods don't fall with my mod enabled... the colonists will simply be there, along with 1 pistol or rifle per colonist.
Holy ballsack, you are a demi-god.
They don't show up. I wait for about 30 seconds up to one minute before trying another new colony. Let me rephrase this instead of drop podding. They don't Spawn on my end anywhere on the map. I give commands to ghosts and they still don't pop up. I'm pretty sure if the colonists spawned I'd be playing right now lol. The pistols and rifles also don't show up, the only things that spawn are starting minerals and the MRE's.
I put this file in my mod location, made a new colony and nothing is happening. I'm currently using A5. I even have this checked and I currently have no other mods enabled but the "core" one. I even waited a few days and it still won't popup. :(
Edit: It would appear, I am a derp. There's a sub folder within the mod folder that you have to pull out and that's the actual mod. @_@
Sunete, can you point out which file and folder? All I got is
C:\Users\Samuel\Desktop\RimWorld\Mods\Colonist Creation Mod
About-->
The about file
Assemblies-->
ColonistsCreationMod.dll
Defs--> MapGenoratorDefs -->

I can't seem to figure out how to get this working. :/
I'm pretty sure i posted in this thread earlier today. Just to be safe i'm going to stop drinking the tap water. ???
My previous post complained about the mod not working, and all the letters being accented. I re-downloaded and turned off dev mode and now things work! :D

I re-downloaded the game just now and plugged the mod in. It works. Thanks for the tip off!
Maybe even with dev mode off, if you've ever had it on in the past it messes with a file that bugs the mod? Either way, won't be using Dev mode for a while xD.

Glad you guys were able to figure out the issues you were having :) hope you enjoy the mod!
In case others run into the same issues, I updated the post with an "Installation" section.
awesome!! i don't need random button anymore
thanks for good mod!
but it doesn't work in some languages.
i tested this and that.
i thought, languages which have 'DefInjected' or 'DefLinked' folder like pt-PT, fr-FR, nl-NL...don't work this mod.
but languages which have only 'Keyed' folder work perfectly.
can you fix this?
(sorry for poor english)
Soo, sounds like this is REALLY buggy, but it's soo good, I can't resist. Doing it anyway!
I'll get back to you to see if I have positive results.

There's a lot of stuff I hardcoded as English that I didn't need to, so I'll switch those to translated versions in v1.2
So... Using English language while having no mods active except for this and of course core. I can't seem to generate the 5 colonists that I could (I didn't change anything. Just made map and started.) However, I did start a large 325x325 world, and I also did it on a 275x275 world just to see if the world size would affect the mod. So far it isn't working.
Attempt #5: Going to spawn 1 colonist. Seems successful.
Attempt #6: Going to spawn 2 colonist. Not successful.
Attempt #7: Going to try and spawn 1 colonist. Failed again.
Attempt #8: Going to use the 40 stat points and try for 1 colonist. If it succeeds I'll proceed to making 2 and so on.
Edit: Attempt 8 has failed. For now I shall play without this mod but I really wished it worked. Oh well. I'll just wait until some of these things are fixed or someone tells me the correct way of using the mod.. Heh.
Edit #2: Excuse me while I face desk 5 times. After reading past comments. I tried redownloading the mod and it seemed to work. Sorry for all of that. Heh.
Gratz mate on finally releasing it :)
I'm not sure if this is a bug but after I selected my character's gender (Male) and went to edit his clothes, his body and face and hair were still female.

Thanks! I wasn't gonna release it until I migrated all the clothing/hair stuff to the menu, but decided not to wait lol Still a few bugs to work out, but it's definitely functional ;D

You can edit anything, appearances are changed elsewhere. Not sure about body though.
Lovin the Mod So far. It conflicts with the meteorite mod. Its a lil OP but considering the challanges My colonists keep facing its rather balanced IMO.

Interesting thing about that... it turns out that the body is dependent on the Adulthood backstory. I'm sure Ty has his reasons for it, but when I went to check for some sort of 'Gender' variable for the backstory (to determine which gender graphics it would spit out) I couldn't find one. Soooo... we just gotta guess-and-check to see which backstory gives which gender graphics lol It should at least update the body/face when you change the Adulthood backstory.
The Clothing/Hair however, can be changed in the menus that pop-up when clicking "Change Clothing" or "Change Hair". I'd like to eventually add in buttons for changing the Skin Color and selecting a specific Head, too.
Edit: The Adulthood backstory only updates the Body graphic. I think. lol

That is good to know. I selected male based back stories. Child: Mercenary Adult: Frontier Marshal. My colonist lives on his own.

If you want, you might be able to make this compatible by opening the BaseMapGenerators.xml in the meteorite mod and changing this:
<!-- Hardcoded, the colonists themselves and their equipment -->
<li Class="Genstep_Colonists">
<startingItems>
<li>
<thingDef>Gun_Pistol</thingDef>
</li>
<li>
<thingDef>Gun_LeeEnfield</thingDef>
</li>
<li>
<thingDef>Gun_Pistol</thingDef>
</li>
</startingItems>
</li>
to this:
<!-- Hardcoded, the colonists themselves and their equipment -->
<li Class="ColonistCreationMod.Genstep_ColonistCreationMod">
<startingItems>
<li>
<thingDef>Gun_Pistol</thingDef>
</li>
<li>
<thingDef>Gun_LeeEnfield</thingDef>
</li>
</startingItems>
</li>
Not 100% certain it'll work, but it's the only thing telling the game to use my mod when it starts up.
This mod dont show up att all when pressing New Colony. Still same Vanilla when chosing colonists, Enabled the mod in Mods tab, and not the zip/rar file in mods folder.. Dunno whats wrong

You have to actually start a new game with it activated. After the screen that tells you you have crashed on a planet. Click ok and then it will show up.
On a side note. Doesn't work with Itchys Map generator pack. :( Maybe you two can get together and work something out again? Otherwise this is one of my must haves now. Keep up the good work.

Hi there
i try start a new colony in the A 5 now. but the Mod is not working. i was getting the 3 colonists from the original colonist creator, not from the mod. there was no window for choosing how many colonists after the crash message ... also no 2. Creation window for create my costum colonists ... the mod is activated in the modmenu but the game act like the mod is not there.
Changes from v1.1 -> v1.2:
- Hopefully fixed everything being translated properly into other languages

I think I had misinterpreted what you said earlier as simply a translation issue (hence this update). Reading it again... it sounds like a file-reading/writing issue, which I haven't the faintest clue how to fix. Sorry :(

Is your native environment in English?
The game is running in english ... i'm not ^^
After studying how 'DefInjected' and 'Keyed' folder structures work from this (http://"http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=2933.0") thread, and xzy100's note of the mod not working with languages that utilize DefInjected translations, here is the list of languages that this mod should work in:
- English
- Spanish
- Italian
- Japanese
Unfortunately, I have no way of fixing this as it's dependent on the translation projects outside this mod.
ahhh wait ... it's working now ^^
i did two things ... i turn language in german and then back in english ... then i deactiveted the mod and actiovated it again ... now it's seems to work
i think, deactiveting und reactivating was what i needed ^^

lol good to know... hope that possibly helps anyone else experiencing issues running the mod in other supported languages
2¢: The mod has perfectly worked for my English build in multiple map sizes with a lot of non-map modifying mods active.
Related topic, is there a list of all the backstories available so you can breeze through selection/gender issue?
ok now there is anouther issue ... it's seems there is a little conflict between the colonist creation mod and the fighting chance mod from punisher007. with his mod i had the same problem. the mod is activeted but the game doesn't use the mod.
i start a new colony ... pass the new colonist creation from your mod here ... and look at the weapons i get. there should be for 3 guys a dragunov and 2 Glock 18 because of the fighting chance mod. but its the default --> Lee-enflied and Glock 19.
I tryed the same thing like the colonist creation mod --> turn off and turn back on. by starting a new colony i see that the game now use the fighting chance mod but not the colonist creation mod. -.- it's seems i have to choose for one of them

I used both and ran int othe same problem. I found an easy fix however. Have a weapon mod like Evul's Project Armory, and then do this
Go into C:\Users\Samuel\Desktop\RimWorld\Mods\ProjectArmory211\Defs\ThingDefs
Open up a gun XML file with Notepad++ or whatever it is you use
Find this
<ThingDef ParentName="BaseGun">
<defName>Gun_AK47_wea</defName>
<label>AK-47</label>
<description> The AK-47 is a selective-fire, gas-operated 7.62×39mm assault rifle, first developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov. It is officially known as Avtomat Kalashnikova (Russian: Автомат Калашникова).</description>
<texturePath>Things/Item/PAEquipment/Gun_AK47</texturePath>
You want to copy the Gun_AK47_wea and the go into
C:\Users\Samuel\Desktop\RimWorld\Mods\Colonist Creation Mod\Defs\MapGeneratorDefs
Open up the MXL file and then go to the very bottom to find
<!-- Hardcoded, the colonists themselves and their equipment -->
<li Class="ColonistCreationMod.Genstep_ColonistCreationMod">
<startingItems>
<li>
<thingDef>Gun_Pistol</thingDef>
</li>
<li>
<thingDef>Gun_BarrettM107_wea</thingDef>
</li>
</startingItems>
</li>
and then replace either lines with the Gun_AK47_wea or whatever gun of your choice.
You can also rename weapons <label>Nut Buster Of Death</label> and edit the description <description> Busts nuts like no other. </description> in the weapon XML file itself, just m

Related topic, is there a list of all the backstories available so you can breeze through selection/gender issue?
The issue lays with three variables within each Backstory: bodyTypeGlobal, bodyTypeMale and bodyTypeFemale. Each of these variables can be any BodyType (Undefined, Male, Female, Thin, Hulk, or Fat). Some Backstories have "Undefined" for all three variables, in which case they are defaulted to a BodyType of "Male" as can be seen here:
//Set BodyType
if (colonist.Backstory[1].BodyTypeGlobal.ToString() != "Undefined")
{
colonist.BodyType = colonist.Backstory[1].BodyTypeGlobal;
}
else
{
if (colonist.Gender == 1 && colonist.Backstory[1].BodyTypeMale.ToString() != "Undefined")
{
colonist.BodyType = colonist.Backstory[1].BodyTypeMale;
}
else if (colonist.Gender == 1 && colonist.Backstory[1].BodyTypeMale.ToString() == "Undefined")
{
colonist.BodyType = BodyType.Male;
}
if (colonist.Gender == 2 && colonist.Backstory[1].BodyTypeFemale.ToString() != "Undefined")
{
colonist.BodyType = colonist.Backstory[1].BodyTypeFemale;
}
else if (colonist.Gender == 2 && colonist.Backstory[1].BodyTypeFemale.ToString() == "Undefined")
{
colonist.BodyType = BodyType.Male;
}
}
What this means is that some Backstories can be "Genderless", while others can have various mixes. No Backstory is specifically "Male" or "Female" to make it easy for selection... and there's over 200 of them. I was able to shorten the list by a few from simply not including the ones that have similar names to existing Backstories (with slightly varying modifers), but unfortunately there's no easy way of sorting through them. The graphics rendering in the Core Code checks these variables within the Backstory to determine the BodyType for display, so once the Backstory is passed from my temporary Colonists to Ty's Pawns then the Core takes over. The code that I'm using above is virtually identical to what's in the Core. Unfortunately, even if I was to implement a feature for specifically selecting whatever BodyType, once the Colonists were converted to Pawns then the Core would take over and change their bodies back to whatever the Backstories saw fit.
Edit: If you really want a list of all the backstories, here ya go: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p1vk9gevpmwk413/Backstories.txt
Edit2: It's rather impressive that Ty was able to think up ~216 different backstory names lol props to you, dude.
yeah it's working! awesome! thank you so much ;D
now using mp5 and m 24 at the start *muhahaha*
This is perfect, been meaning to ask the boss for something like this for a while, really gets old clicking "Random" over and over again until you get what you want, thanks heaps :)
Are the weapons you start with randomized for each new game? The first game I started with 4 colonists and got 3 enfields and 1 pistol. Exported those colonists. Imported them for the second game and got 3 pistols and 1 enfiled.

Yep, it's a random choice between the pistol or enfield for each colonist when starting a new game.

Nice. Thanks
I got this pm earlier today:

I'll cut straight to it.
When I create my colonists everything goes alright(besides the usual girl bodies, etc.) but when i reload my colony the debug screen(At least what I think it is, it's the screen you get from pushing the "~" Key in-game) pops up and has clothing errors and all my "Jacket" wearing people get power armor and some have changed hairstyles...
Is this a known bug??
P.S. Is there a way in the actual save files of the game to edit my Colonists' body, hair, skin, shape, clothes, skills, traits, etc?
Thanks in advance!
has anyone else been experiencing this?
Nope. I've imported my 4 colonists 4 or 5 times now with no problems.
Edit: Didn't get any error message but just checked my colonists and some are missing clothes and some have different clothes.
yeah ... i have the same problem. i don't get any error messages (or i never realized i got some) but the hairstyles und the clothings are a little bugy. there is one more thing: i see a problem with the coloures of the clothes. if i choose 5 colonists, only the last colonists have good coloured cloths. but the outher 4 not. the jacket and the duster are ok, but the shirts are way to bright, only with the darkest types of a colour you can barley see the colonist is wearing a shirt. as is say, only colonist number 5 ( last one opn the right side ) don't have this problem.
Imported colonist graphics is indeed still a little buggy and is something I'm working on fixing. The reason it's buggy: the colonists are randomly generated at the start and the imported information tries to overwrite them. If a colonist is generated with only a T-shirt and no Jacket/Duster/Armor, then there is no existing Jacket/Duster/Armor slot to be putting information into... resulting in errors and oddness. Probably the most odd thing, is that if you just keep trying to import then it magically creates the missing clothing slot somehow lol This is definitely not something that should be happening, so yeah... working on it ;) Got a few ideas that just need a bit of time to code and test.
hello
i have a massive problem it's really weird. I had some issues with the mods im using and have some things tryed out. i turn the Colonist creation mod off and back on .... now the mod is some kind of broken, every time starting a new colony the screnn gone rainbow and i recieve this error message:
QuoteCould not load class ColonistCreationMod.genstep_ColonistCreationMod from node
<li Class="ColonistCreationMod.Genstep_ColonistCreationMod"><startingItems>
<li><thingDef>Gun_Glock18_wea</thingDef></li><li><thingDef>Gun_DragunovSVD_wea</thindDef></li><li>
<thingDef>Gun_Glock18_wea</thingDef></li></startingItems></li>

<li><thingDef>Gun_Pistol_wea</thingDef></li><li><thingDef>Gun_LeeEnfield_wea</thindDef></li></startingItems></li>
now the really weird thing is ... even if i deactived the colonist creation mod the game want to load these 2 classes. o_O im confused, why the game want to load a code segment, when its in a deaktiveted mod and not in the core code? ???
i really need some help here o_o
EDIT:
*update*
ok *sigh* i deactivated all mods im using and reactivated them. then i tryed 10 or 15 times a new colony start. everything seems to work fine, even with really good coloured shirts of the colonists. the only thing is, i recieve the first message of the 2 messages im posting and i dont get the dragunov and the glock 18 from the fighting chance mod. *confused*
@P_anders: do both mods still have their BaseMapGenerators.xml file (found in Defs/MapGeneratorDefs/)? If so, try removing one.
argain? do you wanna hear something funny?
after i edit ma last posting i start a new colony just to play the game. guess what happend. i recieve the message again, but everything works fine so far. on the map lay the dragunovs and the glock 18. i did not change anything o_O ... sometime Computers acting really strange, and sometimes it looks like the computer want to spoof me o_o
lol that's indeed pretty strange
Love this.
can i change the colonist body in this mod? if not can you add the feature to change their body type

The body is dependent on the Adulthood Backstory. Unfortunately, even if I was to implement a feature that allowed you to specify which body each colonist had... the game would immediately overwrite them once you continued. So, it's not really feasible at this time. What you -can- do, however, is change the Adulthood Backstory and then check the body to see if it matches what you would like.
I'm having tons of problem with importing colonists and having their graphics be wrong (even after multiple imports). And I can't even fix it because the menu is broken, repeats the same hair type or clothing, or straight out doesn't show anything, not even Confirm/Cancel buttons.

That's because the graphics stuff was still pretty buggy.
Changes from v1.2 -> v1.3:
- Redesigned the 'Change Clothing' menu
- Redesigned the 'Change Hair' menu
- Fixed all the graphics exporting/importing bugs
- Completely overhauled all of the code dealing with apparel (including the xml reading/writing)
Notes: Due to the clothing and hair menus functioning similarly to the rest of the creation menu now (with left/right selectors), you will no longer have the option to spawn naked colonists, shirtless colonists or colonists without coats. This clears up all the conflicts, though, with importing colonist shirts/coats and trying to write their information to shirts/coats that potentially do not exist on the other end. So while we may all get a chuckle at watching a bunch of naked colonists run around... it's a worthy trade-off to have everything running bug-free. This also clears up the annoying bug of multiple entries in the checklists appearing :D Unfortunately, since the xml reading/writing has been completely overhauled, old saves of colonists will no longer import correctly.
My list of 'Things-To-Do' (if possible):
- Change the 'Change Hair' menu to a 'Change Head' menu, with controls for both changing hair style/color and the face of a colonist.
- Implementing a 'Change Skin' menu for changing the skin color.
I want to be able to pick the traits too!!! Great mod BTW, wish it works in Dev mode too xD.
Quote from: Encode on July 14, 2014, 04:47:30 AM
I tried to load from old (v1.2) saved colonist list and it doesn't work.
Since I overhauled the code for how how colonists are exported/imported, old exports will not import correctly in v1.3.
Quote from: Encode on July 14, 2014, 04:47:30 AM
So tried saving (v1.3) then start new map load saved list, still don't work.
If I'm reading this correctly (sometimes I don't lol), you're saying that when you export a set of colonists in v1.3 and try to import them it's not working for you? If so, could you specify what's not being imported? That way I know what to look for and can fix it :)
Quote from: Encode on July 14, 2014, 04:47:30 AM
Now I revert back to 1.2 and add 1.3's map generator.
The map generator hasn't changed at all from 1.2 to 1.3, so that shouldn't be necessary.
Really fantastic mod. This one I would say is so good it should be incorporated into the vanilla game as an option. One small item for improvement might be a pull down (or perhaps a sorted list?) for the child/adult backstory. There are so many it is a pain to find the one you want. :) Nice job.
Is there any plan to make it so that traits and the like might be selectable, as well? I saw someone mention it up above, and I hadn't even thought about then, but traits (useless as they may be), really do enhance the feel of a character. I'd also be willing to second any official request for a drop-down box selector for backstories.
As for what IS there, I gotta thank you like crazy. This is so much better than just re-rolling time after time after time until I get a set of stats I'm okay with taking. I'm very obsessive about character designs, so it's nice to have a bit more control over things. I'm very much looking forward to being able to change skin color.
It's just too bad that body shape is tied to backstory. That's very frustrating, but also not your fault.
Making the backstories a drop-down box was actually the very first thing I tried to do with them lol unfortunately, it was causing some mysterious lag (my best guess is from the list being so huge) and ended up not being worth it. I could definitely have them listed in alphabetical order, though, if you guys think it would help lol I can't remember what page it was, but I had posted the entire list for someone else to take a look at... here it is again for those wanting to see just how many there are: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p1vk9gevpmwk413/Backstories.txt
I was thinking last night about an option to select a starting weapon for each colonist and have them spawn with their weapons already equipped (and not have weapons spawn on the ground)... what do ya guys think? I know there's some of you who are using this in conjunction with weapon mods that alter the weapons spawned on the map, so this idea could potentially hinder that sorta mod merging but not by much... would just require unequipping the starting weapon and equipping something spawned from another mod.
Little teaser of what's coming in v1.4:

Quote from: Encode on July 14, 2014, 08:23:27 AM
Either I've done something wrong or there are unknown mods conflict, the v1.3 saves have no effect after loading (in v1.3 mod).
Could you check to see if any of the other mods you are using have Defs\MapGeneratorDefs\BaseMapGenerators.xml? If so, that will cause a conflict. It's relatively easy to make stuff work together, though, if it's the case. All you would need to do is make sure in all the BaseMapGenerators.xml files that these lines:
<!-- Hardcoded, the colonists themselves and their equipment -->
<li Class="Genstep_Colonists">
<startingItems>
<li>
<thingDef>Gun_Pistol</thingDef>
</li>
<li>
<thingDef>Gun_LeeEnfield</thingDef>
</li>
<li>
<thingDef>Gun_Pistol</thingDef>
</li>
</startingItems>
</li>
are changed to this:
<!-- Hardcoded, the colonists themselves and their equipment -->
<li Class="ColonistCreationMod.Genstep_ColonistCreationMod">
<startingItems>
<li>
<thingDef>Gun_Pistol</thingDef>
</li>
<li>
<thingDef>Gun_LeeEnfield</thingDef>
</li>
</startingItems>
</li>
It's really the '<li Class="ColonistCreationMod.Genstep_ColonistCreationMod">' that is the most important part.
hi guys
little feedback from here ^^
it's seems that the thing with the cloths is working pretty well. no bugs. the only thing, which doesn't work so well is after import a colonist setup the mod changes the gender randomly. but in my opinion thats not a big deal. that one klick to rechanges that for each colonist and that's it ^^
keep up the good work ^^
btw. a suggestion:
maybe more cloth types like a hoodie for example ... i found with google a temple graphic file for a hoodie. instead of the shirt buttons two pouches. of course only if you can do that . anouither idea wopuld be a vest. but i dont know if there would be a visible difference between the vest an the jacket or the shirt, because of the RW graphic style =/

Hey man!
Good mod; gotta admit-
But theres two problems that make this mod a bit hard to play with and two details that would make it easier for us all and more flexible too
First problem: When i use this mod, the letters (font) all receive accentuation and it becomes hard to read, i don't know if its a error with the mod or with my game, but i think its the former
Second problem: When cycling through the professions (backstory) for my characters; i see some lores that would be for adulthood only showing up on the childhood place; same goes the other way around (childhood apears on adulthood spot) and it looks kinda wierd to play with
A detail: You could add a List or pop-up menu for the lore selection so it shows all professions for childhood/adulthood on a single list instead of having to cycle through
Another detail: You should be able to change body shapes, its really annoying not to be able to change that and it would also look better if we could
Other than that, the mod is very nice and all cool!

probably not without modifying the TTM_MapGenerator.xml file
Changes from v1.3 -> v1.4
- Fixed the childhood/adulthood stories showing up in the wrong lists (should drastically reduce the amount in each list) and ordered both lists alphabetically
- Made the traits selectable and ordered those alphabetically as well
- Added a menu for changing the skin color
- Updated the 'Change Hair' menu to a 'Change Head' menu and included controls to change the face
- Fixed the gender not importing properly
- Added a preview of the colonist on the main creation menu

"Apply changes directly TO THE FACE!" :D
I made sure to read through all 6 pages and didn't see anything covering specifically this issue..The Export or Import system seems to be flawed...I've tried to export several different colonies and it only seems to be able to save the first colonist, and even then not correctly. It saves the way the look, their names and ages perfectly fine, but it does not save the stats you've distributed, the back stories or their traits. All the other colonists are replaced with randoms. Hopefully a fix comes for this soon because it takes a bit of time to get the back story and traits you want if you don't have a list of them all and even if you do it does take quite a bit of clicking to get there. Other than that and the occasional glitch where if you change the gender of the character the head will disappear in the editor it works quite well and I quite enjoy the mod.
This is awesome thanks for adding the trait changer! (I know traits don't do much but it adds more...life) all we need is to change the body so my test subjects/space marine will have the large body and da power armor (if you decide to add it back) :D ;D 8)

Hi Argain
*sigh* after downloading your last update i try to start a new colony tro see if there's any problems or everything is running fine. i run into the same issue as i post last time i tell you i have an issue

Yep ... i can choose skills like i want ... They NEVER have them. 5 colonists, clothing, skins are fine, the skills and storys get rolled again. And importing a saved team (I like my Jagged-Alliance-Team with Shadow, Scope, Raven, Fox and Lynx ;) ) dont work too. They start nearly naked, or with another body (Have u ever seen a fat Raven? hrhr) and, ofc, new rolled skills (Damn, Shadow as missionary ...)
Background infos: NO other mods. Just the newest version of cc and ofc not in devmode.
Alrighty, I must've broke something when adding the new stuff so I'll do some heavy testing/debugging to make sure everything is 100% functional. I already have the female head thing sorted out, so stay-tuned for a bug-fixing update ;)

Could you pack your mod folder into a zip and email it to me (
[email protected])? I'll see if I can get it sorted out for ya.
Ooookay,
because i really really like this mod and i want to help, ive tested a bit.
Settings:
NO other mods installed.
Language set to english.
Devmode switched off.
I've tried 3 new colonies. All huge. 5 Colonists.
First try, set some skills above 10 (to see if it works), incaps NONE. Accepted. One started naked, all had new rolled skills. Skin worked, hair too.
Second try, same settings, accepted. All had their clothes, all had their skills BUT without Major and Minor-Buffs.
Third try, blabla. All had their clothes, the changed faces, their skills AND their Majorminor-Buffs.
Really really strange. Things i noticed (some of them are already known, some maybe not)
- Dont be in devmode (known, i know ;) )
- Use the supported languages
- Males are looking like females and reversed
- Bodys are changing with swapping their backgroundstories (Intended or bug? Dont know)
- Sometimes skills getting rolled again, ignoring the given ones
- Sometimes Chars starting naked
- Clothes bottom left at the maps corner
I would offer my help to translate ur mod for the german players (like me) - Just if you want.
Aaaand some suggestions:
- Changing body (if possible)
- Maybe using Ctrl to spend 5 points on a skill directly
- Copy skills and clothing from one char to another
My traits seem to have become randomized once I load up my save, hum
Changes from v1.4 -> v1.5:
- Fixed the head disappearing when changing gender to female
- Hopefully fixed the skills importing correctly (will require a new set of colonists exported)
- Fixed the disabled skills due to Backstories (some were not being interpreted correctly due to wording)
- Changed the skill cap to 15, so the Skill Passions seem less pointless
- Exports from previous versions will not import correctly with this
I've imported the same 'TestGroup' I made for this newer version a dozen times, and things seem to be importing more reliably now... please let me know if I overlooked something. Huge thanks to D4rk4ng31 for the extensive testing!
Edit:
In case anyone else would like to help out with testing this, without going through the hassle of creating a new set of colonists, I've attached my 'TestGroup' to this post. To make it usable, put it in the following directory:
C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld\CharSaves\

Changes from v1.5 -> v1.5a:
- Re-added the Power Armor
My wife discovered an odd bug that can cause the exported Backstory indexes to get higher than the amount of existing backstories, which subsequently causes everything afterward to fail in importing. Sooo... if importing fails, please open the console with the tilde key ('~') and check for an error. If there -is- an error, clicking it will open a side-panel giving a more full description of the error... that's the information I'll need, along with the exact steps you went through to reach the error (if possible). If you don't wish to type the error out, you can find the log at:
C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\RimWorld\RimWorld492Win_Data\output_log.txt
Changes from v1.5a -> v1.5b:
- Fixed the Backstory Index bug
- Made the hairs available dependent on gender
hi argain

Hum 1.5b causes my saves to become corrupted and go rainbow when I load them.
1.4 worked just fine with all my mods.
I did update the clutter mod but that update still works for colonost creation 1.4
Any idea on what's causing the rainbow glitch?
With 1.5b I can start a game just fine but not load the saves tried with several new games
ok update *scratching head*
yesterday night i deactivated all of my mods except the core ... shut down the game ... restart the game ... reactivated all of my mods and try to start a new colony
as far as i can see, it is working now pretty well. only two problems:
1) the game don't use the fighing chance mod again
i tryed to restart the game, to deactivated and reactivated the mod, nothing, every new colony is get the enfield and the glock 19
2)the import function is bugy
i made a 5 colonist set and exported it. by every time i want to import the set to a new colony, i get only one of my exportet colonists
until here no savegame bugs
Top mod! :)
But I'm having troubles with importing as well. I can export, it makes the colonist group file all fine, but importing does not appear to do anything. It I've tried importing the 5 colonists, but it does not change the (5 or non 5) given colonists on customisation page.
What can I do to make this work? I've gone through this thread with a fine comb and can't find anything. I have also tried with CCM as the only mod active not in dev mode.
Cheers

Did you manage to catch any errors in the console log when you tried importing?
Here's your sorted Mods folder, P_anders... there's a lot of warning errors going on with a bunch of the mods in it, but it'll at least run this mod and fighting chance together in it lol

Just tried saving a game with this mod running and then re-loading it... there is indeed something odd going on that's causing everything to break, so taking a thorough look into it.
Changes from v1.5b -> v1.5c:
- Fixed the weird game save bug that was causing rainbow colors and breaking stuff
Apparently, this was what was causing everything to break:
if (work.defName == "Art")
{
work.defName = "Artistic";
}
if (work.defName == "Warden")
{
work.defName = "Social";
}
if (work.defName == "Doctor")
{
work.defName = "Medicine";
}
It's how I was getting the Skills to be disabled for those backstory "IncapableOf"'s... just had to do it in a less 'game breaking' way elsewhere. So yeah, sorry about that! Should be all good now :)
thank you so much for your help.
i've downloaded the mod folder and the update of the colonist creation mod and start a new colony ... still have the error messages but no problems so far. savegames ... weapons ... import funktion ... everthings seems to work fine

There's no way to specify the import directory at the moment, but here's possibly a quick fix for ya (attached to this post). I don't have a Mac to test this on, so let me know how it goes... just replace the .dll in the Assemblies folder with the one in this zip. If it works, then I'll update the main version of the mod with the fix for everyone else who uses Mac.

No, New files just created with v1.5c can export but import does nothing.

Can you locate where the file is ending up and give me the directory address? Then I can tell the mod to search for the file there if the OS detected is linux.

lol alright, I'll just install Mint 17 and get it sorted out for ya.
Is there a text list of all the traits available? Sifting through 1 at a time is sort of a nuance.
Also, the All in One modpack v1.2 doesn't seem to include any of your v1.5 updates, is there a manual way to change this?
How do I use this? I've activated it in the mods section, but when I create a new colony its the same generic start screen. No advanced options.
Version 0.5.496
Edit* Nevermind apparently you have to actually go in game
Here's a list of the traits... no particular order: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9xzhukqptiqp2s5/Traits.txt
Traits actually do something now?

Tried v1.5c with Alpha5D(496, Windows) few hrs ago, loading saved colonists don't work for me. Also noted something strange where [Tough] trait do not give extra 50HP. Thanks for looking into this! :)
This is for Alpha 5 yet, not Alpha 5D.

Is there any way I can adjust where it imports the file from by default?
There's no way to specify the import directory at the moment, but here's possibly a quick fix for ya (attached to this post). I don't have a Mac to test this on, so let me know how it goes... just replace the .dll in the Assemblies folder with the one in this zip. If it works, then I'll update the main version of the mod with the fix for everyone else who uses Mac.
No luck, mate. Still getting the same error. I understand if this is too hard, since I seem to be the only mac user! Haha!

Promising! There is still the same error, but it is using the correct file path. The error says;
Could not find file "/Users/Elliot\Library\Caches\unity.Lodeon Studios.RimWorld\CharSaves\People Are Cool.col".
I suspect that all the slashes need to be "/", and for the space in "unity.Lodeon Studios.RimWorld" needs to be "\ ". This will be good if we can make it platform friendly! :)
Hmm, well here's the code that MacFix2 was using:
else if (OS == Platform.Mac)
{
path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal);
path += "/Library/Caches/unity.Ludeon Studios.RimWorld/CharSaves/" + groupName + ".col";
}
As you can see, most of the slashes were already "/"... not sure why they're switching direction at runtime lol
Edit: think it might need to be
@"/Library/Caches/unity.Ludeon Studios.RimWorld/CharSaves/"
to make it not 'interpret' anything within the string... so hopefully this fix will make the slashes point in the right direction...
Edit2: Managed to find my old code from the Alpha 4F version that was using more relative file pathing, so this 'GeneralImportFix' might work best.

Just used TraitEffect.Undefined and TraitEffect.NoEffect to filter out the ones that don't do anything, yet... so when they receive effects in the future, they'll show up in the lists.
Since this mod seems to be working alright on Alpha 5D, just gonna say it's unofficially 'updated' as of now lol
Achieved the theoretically impossible and made the Body shape selectable... but it comes with a price: in order to guarantee that the colonist starts with the chosen Body, I had to populate the Adult Backstory list with only the backstories that would result in the chosen Body.
When I asked for a list of traits and their bonuses/negatives, what I meant was Backstory. I keep calling them traits because it seems more relevant for skill boosts.
Also, what files should I modify to make the All in One Mod Pack v1.2 have your updated 1.7 files?

In the Assemblies folder, you'll want to replace the ColonistCreationMod.dll.
I have a weird bug that basically for no reason but annoys me:
Sometimes changing the character's face to pointy isn't working, changes it back to average and sometimes spawns the pawn with wide.
Any reason why it'd do that?
Also it seems like you I can't actually change body-shapes either, it still depends on adulthood. Not only that, changing body-shape will change adulthood accordingly.
And it seems I can no longer import a previously saved setups, aside from the textures the background story changes.
What the hell's happening? Is it just me? o_o
Hmm... not sure about the face thing (I'll look into it), but when a colonist is first generated (happens whenever you select a starting number of colonists or when you try to import some) they all get randomly chosen body shapes based on gender and then the adulthood backstory list has to re-generate to only backstories that will result in the body shape. Previously exported colonists won't work with v1.7 due to the adulthood backstory needing to align to the chosen body shape... and they definitely won't work with v1.8, since the export/import code had to be changed for adding in starting weapons. It's the last thing I wanted to add to the mod, though, so there should be no more worries of having to create new sets of colonists for v1.8+.
From now on I will only be fixing any reported bugs or updating for newer versions of RimWorld. This mod is feature-complete, which means I will ignore any further requests for additional features.

Aside from working customizations, what could we possibly ask for?
A black, armored-unicorn to ride to battle? Wait, actually... No, never mind. Although... Hmm...
In any case, by previously saved setups, I was talking about this version, not older ones.
Since I noticed the face thingy, I saved one and tried to reload-change it to see why could it be, to test it. Again, to me it seems like it still depends on background, though it's still far, far better than nothing as it is, it is my duty as a proud user to report and will do accordingly, sir! ;)
On that note, I've noticed another one, Space marine females for me spawn with the male muscular body instead of the slim one, don't ask why, also even after creating the colony with the pawns, changing the save-file to change the face does not work either. Males spawn right.
EPIC

A male muscular body like this?:
(http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb260/oblivionburn/MarineLady.png)
It's the actual female body for that Adulthood Backstory.
Edit: I just double-checked the Backstories list and you're right :O should be a thin body, which is very odd indeed!
Edit2: Nevermind, it's right here:
Quote
Backstory index: 190
Backstory name: Space marine
Backstory slot: 1
Backstory BaseDescription: Soren joined a squad of space marines known for their brutal efficiency at killing. His last name and his lack of emotion during combat inspired his nickname: Grim.
Backstory BodyTypeGlobal: Hulk
Backstory BodyTypeMale: Undefined
Backstory BodyTypeFemale: Undefined
Shooting: 5
Melee: 4
Social: -2
Medicine: 2
Artistic: -3
Crafting: -2
Restricted: Warden
Restricted: Doctor
It checks for either the BodyTypeFemale matching the Body Shape or the BodyTypeGlobal... in this case, it's registering the BodyTypeGlobal as a match.
Well, nacker... looks like something went wrong write after it wrote the HairDef node. The "OnSkin" node would have come next, so I'm guessing that's what threw the error and unfortunately caused everything henceforth to cease being written to file. I don't suppose you caught what the error was? You might still be able to find it in the output_log.txt.

For Windows, the output_log.txt can be found at:

Don't know for Mac or Linux :/
I'm using Linux and don't see the file. All of my saves on v1.8b only save one colonist.
Ran into the same error you were experiencing, nacker... turns out, it was an empty list of Hair Tags trying to be written out to file that was causing the issues lol Posted another update with the fix for it (v1.8c). Still no clue about the face thing? I'm not noticing any problems giving colonists a pointy face.

I did notice it only messes with the save if I change hair. If I dont change hair everything is fine.
Yeah, should work fine now with v1.8c :)
Ya know... I think this thing just might be stable/error-free now :o
I'm assuming here that the reason why only certain professions/adult stories have only one body is because you'd need duplicate adult back stories with different bodies associated with the professions to have more body types.
If someone basically duplicates each profession like 5 times each with a different body attachment then all the professions should have all the bodies right?
So, I'm currently trying out the latest version of this, and I want to say -awesome work-! It does everything I'd hoped it would do, and more.
That being said, I miss the fun little 'don't do anything' traits... so I'll be rolling back to the version where they were still accessible now. Weird, I know, that something which doesn't even matter to the game would bother me, but I tell short little stories with my colonists... and having those traits helps.

lol if I was in control of any of that, I would just do away with the BodyTypes being associated with Backstories altogether. What this mod is doing, though, is just reading from what already exists in the database. Nothing new is added or altered in the core game content... the Pawns themselves are just constructs of said content, so the mod is simply making the opportunity available to control what content is being directed towards them. I hope that makes sense? lol
Edit: What's actually going on 'under the hood' is I'm creating a bunch of custom classes to store various bits of the database information, and -that- is what's being manipulated behind the curtain and producing what you see on the creation menu. Afterward, I just take all that information and plug it into the normal colonist pawns before they spawn and then let the game take over to do what it normally does... what this means, is that if the information I passed them doesn't line up exactly with what currently exists in the database (not something foreign or 'new' for them to work with, as they have no code to work with it) then everything blows up, the world ends and the universe implodes on itself. It's not good. I'd say the only thing I really changed was setting how many of the pawns are generated in the background, prior to spawning. What this mod -can- do, though, is find stuff in the database that -other- mods have added in. So yes... if someone was to make another mod which adds in duplicate backstories (one BodyTypeGlobal for each BodyType), then this mod would indeed find those and make them available to work with.

I'm sure Tynan will get around to making the rest of the Traits have effects, too... and when he does, they'll start turning up as options again :) Btw, roleplaying isn't 'weird' in my books... all the best games are rpg's \o/

Awesome, man! Sorry I didn't reply earlier, life's too busy. Excellent mod, glad we got this all sorted out.
Do you think there would be a way to make it so that when you are selecting how many colonists and their traits, you could look around the map. It really makes a difference knowing what sort of terrain you are dealing with, whether or not you get the extra miner/constructor/etc. Also, I think there is a bug with the import/export stuff for me. It'll load the first colonists name, but everything else is randomized.

Hi argain
well, after updating the mod, i have a problem with the backstories, they're messed up.
everytime i'll start a new colony, there are missing some of the backstories. and at every try there are missing other backstories, not the same as the previous try, seems that its random which backstories are available and which one are missing. at the one try there are missing 2 or 3 backstories, at the next try there are missing pretty much of them. at one try i missed the colony settler ... at the next try i had not even one backstory with the initial "C"
befor i noticed this issue, i made a new colonists set ... one of them i made a colony settler. i play the game a little bit and after a reload the save, the colonist were a armycook insteet of a colony settler o_O
besides this issue, the mod seems to work pretty fine

That's not a bug, that's only the backstories which would result in the chosen Body Shape being shown. It's how I made the Body Shape selectable.

Besides, these errors messages don't cause trouble 99% of the time, either an object is missing due to a screw up, or isn't functioning properly; "tried to get pawn head at *insert place*/male_average_normal with colour *something I picked* that was not found, defaulting...". :3

The game must be checking for particular skin colors :/ had wondered a while ago if it was, due to this code I had come across:
private static Color RandomSkinColor()
{
float value = UnityEngine.Random.value;
if (value < 0.2f)
{
if (UnityEngine.Random.value < 0.5f)
{
return PawnSkinColors.LightBlackSkin;
}
return PawnSkinColors.DarkBlackSkin;
}
else
{
if (value < 0.5f)
{
return PawnSkinColors.MidSkin;
}
if (UnityEngine.Random.value < 0.3f)
{
return PawnSkinColors.PaleWhiteSkin;
}
return PawnSkinColors.WhiteSkin;
}
}
So, I'm gonna test-run having only those skin colors selectable and see if it works...
ok, ... after a few test rounds it seems to work fine. i remember i changed the adult backstory to colony settler and i changed the bodytype to male. i'm not 100% sure, but i think, the colonist was still a settler, after the bodychanging. but maybe i didn't noticed the mod changed the adulthood, after i changes the bodytyp. o_O
@Cyst: Updated the mod with a fix for the skin color bug
@P_anders: Good to hear, man... the backstories do indeed change when the body shape is changed :)
After reloading a save, I realized that the colonist traits end up being randomized to something different from what it was before. I'm not entirely sure why...

Woah you work fast...
Anyway, it wasn't any big deal, it was connected to the less important part of the mod, changing the colonists' appearance.
I'm happy as f*** now that I don't have to click my thumbs to bleed to have a colonist who can actually mine/build/grow or something.^^
Besides, it's also good not having anymore 80million years old pregnant nymphomaniac grandpas. Yes, grandpas. I don't understand either...

Going to need more information than that, such as:
- Operating System
- Version of RimWorld
- If the 'Colonist Creation Mod' folder is in the 'Mods' folder
- If there's any errors being thrown when you try to turn the mod on
- If you've been able to reach the enhanced creation menu at all
- Any other specifics you can think of to explain how exactly it's "not working"

- A game/map save, or a save of a set of colonists?
- How many colonists were there? Of those colonists, how many had their traits randomized?
- By traits you are referring to the actual 'Traits' and not the Backstories? Someone else had been calling the backstories traits... :P
That was me, because traits seems more normal to modify your stats than back stories alone.
What file do I edit if I wanted to start off with 10 colonists?
I am looking through the Unity C-Sharp scripts and am having no luck finding the variable that contains that information.
Edit:
Found
Rect UpPos = new Rect(160f, 55f, 40f, 40f);
if (Widgets.TextButton(UpPos, ">".Translate()))
{
if (Amount < 5)
{
//Raise amount and re-display
Amount++;
ShowAmount(new Rect(135f, 60f, 40f, 40f));
}
}
in ColonistNum.cs and changed the check to if (Amount < 10), but that didn't work.

- It happens to all of the colonists. I've tried with One, Three and Five. It effects all of them.
- And yes, I mean traits. like gunslinger, running and tough. End up becoming something else entirely after I load up the game save.
I don't have any mods that effect map gen, or anything like that. And I've tested it out without mods as well. The traits just end up being randomized every time I load up a save... Which was funny when I left two guys in a room... One became pregnant XD (Pure coincidental chance ahahaha)
Same issue after trying out for first time last night. Traits changed completely and for me the build for the characters changed.

If you want 10 colonists, then you would need to set it to (Amount < 11) since 10 is still technically 'less than' eleven.
Investigating the traits scrambling...
Edit: Fixed in v2.0.
Edit 2: The fix will not fix your already saved games, since the information that was saved into the Pawn's traits was not enough to make them recognizable after reloading. The entire TraitDef is being passed now in v2.0, so any freshly made colonists should save/load just fine (which I tested to make sure).

There's an idea, Rimworld characters in love making babies that grow into scientist or whatever.
This is a great mod.
Must confess I didn't go through all of the comments but did go through a bunch and didn't see this mentioned.
Is there a possibility of "intercepting" the first three colonists generated and using their data as the start values for this, by a setting in the xml or a checkbox someplace? If choosing to use 4 or 5 colonists then the last one or two would start as they are now (nothing). If choosing to use 1 or 2 colonists, the 2nd and/or 3rd one would be ignored.
Keep up the great work!
Nice updates man, ill be releasing another smaller update to AIO soon, Ill be sure to gnab the latest version of this and stick it in there to.
Quote from: Argain on July 28, 2014, 07:29:40 AM
If you want 10 colonists, then you would need to set it to (Amount < 11) since 10 is still technically 'less than' eleven.
I said it does not work. I change it, start up the game, it's stuck at 5 no matter what value I set that to.

Works just fine (use the attached assembly), but you were right about it needing to be (Amount < 10).

That would be quite easy to do, and I'm essentially doing that already... I'm just re-generating them (however many you're choosing to start with) in the background and they're the actual colonists you're using after hitting 'Continue' and all the information gets overwritten into them. Instead of basing the start values on their generated stats, I decided to leave it more open/flexible with a skill pool based on the average amount of skill points I was seeing allocated to the randomly generated pawns. If I was to use their starting values, then the 'skill pool' would initially be 0 and you possibly would not even get a total of 40 points distributed at the start due to the range of the random generation being something like 36-42. If enough people say they would prefer something like that, though, with being able to re-distribute stuff freely then I'll go ahead and do it ;) I can see the appeal of wanting to be lazier about it lol
Edit: I was completely overlooking that it was a request for it to be optional, so yeah I'll whip that up real quick and post an update.

Could you run me through the steps on compiling, seem to be running into errors... http://prntscr.com/47aql6

Alright, Kutch... your wish has been granted in v2.1 and you can now find this in the BaseMapGenerators.xml:
Quote
<!-- Hardcoded, the colonists themselves and their equipment -->
<li Class="ColonistCreationMod.Genstep_ColonistCreationMod">
<baseStats>
<li>false</li>
</baseStats>
</li>
Change 'false' to 'true' and you'll get what you requested, but fair warning: not everything will align perfectly (i.e. only 1 major passion and 1 minor passion are detected) and it won't be the pawns from the core creation menu, since they still needed to be regenerated before I could start pulling information from them.

Never mind, it was the mapgen compatibility pack that was making it not work.
A few slightly annoying issues:
*Some adulthood professions cannot be selected anymore for some reason (for example, Intelligence Agent) after saving the team for the first time. Maybe there are some hidden requirements that are broken by changing other values?
*Mad Scientist adulthood turns into Conceptual Artist after exporting/importing. I guess that's how mad science is called nowadays...
*Space Marine becomes a Vengeful Explorer after exporting/importing.
One slightly abusive feature is that it is possible to manipulate stats into becoming 20 as stat bonuses from childhood/adulthood top on manually added points.

Changing the Body Shape will reset the Adulthood Backstory.

That's definitely what would be considered an 'exploit' and is fixed for v2.2 by way of the skills being reset whenever the backstories are changed.

Are you planning on keeping the hairstyles separated by gender?
Is there an easy way for me to change this or are you planning on removing that in future updates?
Great mod btw, really love it! I've restarted so many times when I was displeased with the vanilla randomization so this mod kinda saved me.
HI ~ Argain I really like your work, and I look forward to make Chinese players can experience your MOD, I hope you can help me! I want to add CCM Chinese language, I try to try to modify the language of CS inside but found inside the game or English, to ask how am I going to change ~

Not really. You'd have to modify the source code and then recompile it. If you'd like to give it a shot, I wrote out a list of steps on how to recompile it using a program called MonoDevelop for someone else. Not sure off-hand what you would have to all change... I'll go take a look...

I don't know why certain things aren't translating correctly... I'll double check the code.
Edit:
GUI.Label(position2, colonist.Skills[index].SkillName.Translate() + ": ");
^ That line of code should be translating all the skill names into other languages, which it would theoretically find Chinese translations for in Mods\Core\Languages\zh-CN\Keyed\Skills.xml. I really don't know what can be done about it, since every skill has a Chinese translation already:

It's simply not finding certain ones, for some reason. At least it runs? I had reports of this mod not working at all for any language using a DefInjected translation.
Edit: To be honest, I haven't the faintest clue what I'm talking about lol I just throw .Translate() in front of any text being outputted and hope it works XD
Edit 2: I have an idea... I can setup my own Translation class to preload all the translated words. All I'll have to do, then, is detect which language the game is running in. I'll write up an xml template that you can put all the translations into.
Alright, xiangsu... here's a TranslationTemplate.xml file for you. All you need to do is translate each word(s)/number in it, send it back, and I'll take care of the rest ;) Anyone else who wants this mod translated into their language, you're welcome to do the same.
Note: If the mod does not function at all while running the game in your language, then there's simply nothing I can do about that. Sorry.

- Did you change the Body Shape -after- you set the Backstory and Skills?
- Was there an error thrown in the console log?
- What other mods are you running?
- What operating system are you using?
- Was developer mode turned on?
- I still change body shape before I set back story and skills
- there was any error
- Blasting Charges and of course core
- Windows 8.1
- it was off

[attachment deleted by admin: too old]
I wonder if it would be possible to add in a button to allow people to bypass your chargen and instead use the three randomly generated colonists they picked or were given before the map generates. It may seem odd to request this "Please add a function to not use your mod" lol, But it isn't for me, its for the AIOMod, if you include such an option, it keeps me from having to maintain and update two or three or four variations of my mod package, I'm really wanting to avoid that, so adding such a feature would be a huge help :).
v2.1:
- Added a true/false option in the BaseMapGenerators.xml to enable the creation menu to be matched to the pawns generated in the background and not simply base templates (false by default)
Pretty sure that is what you are looking for. Well sort of.
nope, I'm looking for a button that you click and you basically bypass the mod and just run the original colonist generator.

I wonder, do you think you could add some sort of xml readable filter for clothing and weapon options ? for example, in this filter, i put an entry "Weapon:Turret" any weapons with Turret in its name would then not show in the weapon selection box. or "Apparel:Armor" would prevent anything with armor in the name from showing up in the clothing list. Think this would be possible ?

Think this would be possible ?
It's possible, but I need a bit more of an explanation as to what the purpose would be. I'm failing to see the point of it, since I'm already restricting anything from the lists that aren't usable by the colonists. Was there something I missed?
Edit: Nevermind, I see the Apparello update you posted. Here's the deal: I can make a quick patch to keep the hive armor, steam hull and scyther armors from being available at the start... but I'll need their -exact- names (their Labels) as they would appear in the database, otherwise it won't work.
i was kind of hoping for the filtration system mainly because there are lots of things in the lists that shouldn't be, mod added turrets and emplacement weapons, and armors and such. I suppose i could dig up the exact label names of each item, and send that to you to patch in, and do so again every time i add a new mod that adds stuff like that, I just thought that might start getting annoying for you lol.

Hmm, good point. I'll see what I can do...
Alright, xiangsu... v2.3+ should be mostly translated now.
The few things that are probably not translated:
- Most Backstory Names
- Some work restrictions
- Most Trait Names
- Some weapons
If you would like those to also be translated, then modify the Chinese.xml file in the Translations folder and send it back to me with the additional translations.
A list of Backstory Names can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p1vk9gevpmwk413/Backstories.txt
A list of Trait Names can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9xzhukqptiqp2s5/Traits.txt
@Jerethi50: In the BaseMapGenerators.xml file you'll now see:
<!-- Hardcoded, the colonists themselves and their equipment -->

<li>Incendiary mortar</li>
<li>Explosive mortar</li>

</li>
Anything listed in the exemptShirts, exemptCoats or exemptWeapons will not show up as options in the menu... but the things listed need to be the exact labels, which you can find in their def files. Shirts = OnSkin Layer and Coats = Shell Layer.
If you change the 'false' under the choice list to 'true' you'll enable the "Use the Colonist Creation Menu?" popup for those that want the option.
Thanks! :)

If you wanna make'em compatible, there's a number of things you can do... the easiest would be to delete the MapGeneratorDefs folder in the Fighting Chance mod. If you want to keep the extra resources from it and the increased timer for meals, here's what you can do:
1) Delete the MapGeneratorDefs folder in A Fighting Chance
2) Replace the BaseMapGenerators.xml file in my mod with the one I've attached here
3) Move the DamageTypeDefs and ThingDefs folders from A Fighting Chance into the Defs folder of the Colonist Creation Mod
You will have essentially 'merged' the mods if you do those three steps.

Just deleted it for now, I try the one when I'm starting a new Colony. Thank you :))
Where is the folder to download?
Thanks

Attached to the first post.

The only links in the first post are to the "All in one mod". Can someone post a link to the most recent individual colonist creation mod?

A tiny link which can't be seen unless logged in =P So I can't blame you for not noticing!
Sorry for the tiny download link... used to have a big one linked to dropbox, but it's just easier to upload straight to this forum :P

I'm having a weird problem in which every time I click on continue all it does is increase the stats of the first person out of the group. The rest of the buttons work, but I cannot continue and actually start the game.
Figured out it's some kind of weird problem with the K9 mod. Too bad. I liked that mod a lot.

lol definitely a weird problem, which I unfortunately have no clue about.
Hey there, love using this mod, especially since there's so many additional things you can edit like body type and skin colour.
I'm really really confused about why the hair styles have been split into male/female though, especially since randomly generated characters can use all hair styles! I don't really understand the decision; why aren't I allowed to give my female characters mohawks any more? :(

Well, here's the current code for that:
private void CreateHairList()
{
MaleHairList.Clear();
FemaleHairList.Clear();
foreach (HairDef hair in DefDatabase<HairDef>.AllDefs)
{
ColHairDef thisHair = new ColHairDef();
List<string> Tags = new List<string>();
thisHair.DefName = hair.defName;
thisHair.GraphicPath = hair.graphicPath;
thisHair.HairGender = hair.hairGender;
thisHair.Label = hair.label;
foreach (string tag in hair.hairTags)
{
Tags.Add(tag);
}
if (hair.hairGender == HairGender.Any)
{
MaleHairList.Add(thisHair);
FemaleHairList.Add(thisHair);
}
else if (hair.hairGender == HairGender.Male)
{
MaleHairList.Add(thisHair);
}
else if (hair.hairGender == HairGender.Female)
{
FemaleHairList.Add(thisHair);
}
else if (hair.hairGender == HairGender.MaleUsually)
{
MaleHairList.Add(thisHair);
}
else if (hair.hairGender == HairGender.FemaleUsually)
{
FemaleHairList.Add(thisHair);
}
}
}
As you can see in the IF statements, the hairs have genders associated with them; in an attempt to keep everything aligned with what the game engine will be looking for, I split them into separate lists for the appropriate genders. The 'MaleUsually' and 'FemaleUsually', however, should be okay applying to either gender... so I'll go ahead and make them populate both gender lists. If I remember correctly, the Mohawk was a member of the 'MaleUsually' group :) so check back for a v2.3b with this quick fix.

For some reason, when I try to import a group of settlers, it only gets 1 or two loaded, the rest are still randomized. And sometimes the ones that are loaded, its just the name and clothing, nothing else is as it was when saved. Is this some form of bug or is it intended?Because I hate spending almost 30 minutes or more customizing my people every single time.

See if the assembly attached here works any better, with all other mods turned off. If it clears up the issue, let me know, so I can post it as a new update.

Are you also having an issue? If so, then I'll need more details than simply "not working and nothing happens".
When i put the skills on the colonist i click "continue" when i go to see theirs skill is not the skills i put!
This mod has an issue where if used with the A5 version of the K9 mod it won't start a map, do you think you could fix this?

Could you send me a copy of your .col file so I can see exactly where it's failing?
Any plans to update this for Alpha 6?
I hope this will be updated to Alpha 6. I realise there might be a lot of work involved with the new system of traits and hats being included and all. Hopefully you'll update it though :)
It'll get updated for Alpha 6, so no worries :) As far as the hats go... they were already available in Alpha 5 and I've purposely left them out for one main reason: If I added them in, then all colonists would be forced to start with a hat on.
I wonder if its possible to make an assembly coded "hat" and "Jacket" that was invisible (all alpha texture ?) and removed itself / destroyed itself after like two ticks, name it "no hat" and "no jacket" to give your colonists the option of starting without a hat and jacket.

I like this mod so much, I really think it should be included in the vanilla game.
If you are not in the mood to just random it all, spending 15 minutes clicking the Randomize button to find a group of colonists you want to spend many hours (hopefully) with is not fun. Playing RimWorld is fun. This mod takes the not fun part out for me in some cases.
I looking forward for Alpha6 release :) I do not want to play with bunch of randoms! One of the best part of party creation in games is replace them with your friends :D

And watch them all die the most horrible ways imaginable =P *Flashbacks to FTL and XCOM* *brr*
Sorry guys, but it looks like I won't be able to update this to Alpha 6 :( Been trying all day with no success... the generation of the colonists is just too hard-coded now.
Noooo! Of all the mods this one is my absolute favorite and most wanted. Unfortunately it seems there's nothing that you can do. Thank you for trying.
Damn that's a shame dude :(

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo, we need to find Tynan asap ;-;!
They really should add character creation asap in vanilla instead of pointless randomizer... Well, for now i need to re-download 5D and play on that release until someone add creator.

RNG character is fun part either, but I always like slightly options xD
MapInitData.colonists is list of colonists.
MapGenerator.PlayerStartSpot is starting area.
Hooking to GameStartedEvent (Rimgazer API) and altering colonists is simple and easy.
If something like this hasn't been implemented by the time the game is 'finished' and released, then I'll come back and re-create this mod for the game. It's a real pain to keep updating this for every new alpha... and [code-wise] I should have utilized the existing Pawn structure from the start instead of implementing my own Colonist objects. Next time around, I'll re-write the mod from scratch and drastically simplify the structure of it. If anyone wishes to update this themselves, they're welcome to do so, but I won't be touching it again until the game is released.
Please update to alpha 6!! nice mod by the way!
It was a good run Argain, but I understand the work-stoppage. Can't wait to see your return upon initial release though!

Being stupid is not normal on forums dedicated to development.

Hey, I thought of a way to recreate this mod! It will be very hard though, but you can get it! just dev cheat a bunch of colonists in, then kill the ones you don't want ;D

I've degraded to creating colonists with the genders and ages I want, then use A6 Save Editor (http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=5346.0) to craft the colonists as I please.
I've kind of just learned to roll with the random. Well, up to a certain point. It's annoying having the childhood bonuses clash with the adulthood.

Because he can't update the mod. probably took it off.
This...This mod is dead? NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

If a good enough programer was to help him, well you get the point. It might continue
Sorry if I spell anything incorrect, I am wiped out.

Go check page 19...
I'm locking this thread with a closing statement:
I am not going to update this mod (stop sending me PMs to update it, please) until the game is officially released, because A) The new mod structure of Alpha 6 does not support it and B) I don't wish to update it for every single new Alpha release. If such features are not in the finished product of the game, then I will make sure they're available as a mod. The only way I could do so now would be in the form of a 'Total Conversion', which would take an insanely huge amount of MORE time pouring through ALL of Tynan's code for any changes with every new Alpha. I admittedly considered it (and even asked for the source code to do it), but it would require far too much of time I simply don't have. So my apologies to all those wishing they could have an Alpha 6+ version of this, but it's not gonna happen.
