How do I make a new race?

[Helixien]

Okay, my question is rather simple. I want to make a cyborg race for which I have created a new body texture, based on the human one. Now I cant figure out, HOW do I add them to a new race? I am going through all the xmls now and maybe I am just an idiot and overlook it all the time, but I just cant find anything.

Can someone help me´?

Also, here are the textures I made:

1. You will need ThingDef about race (in core - Races_XXXX)
2. You will need PawnKindDef (that will use your race)
   * If you're want to make pawn with new body you'll need BodiesDef.
   * If you're going to create new Bodies with new body parts you will need BodyPartsDef.
   * If you want to make new faction for the pawn(s) you will need FactionDef
   * If you want to make new think tree (AI) you will need ThinkTreeDef
   * If you want to make animal (or pawn that will can spawn on the map) you will need BiomeDef.

For other info just ask or look at the core/other mods files.

And btw what program you used to create these textures? Because this background looks interesting.

I am a simple person, I use Gimp 2^^ I just google "blueprint empty and then used it as a background

ALSO, I have found these defs, but nowhere I find a texture path to set so it will use my textures instead of the vanilla ones... :/ Any idea where or how to do that?

I'm using GIMP too.

And about your question... I can be wrong, because in Core files there is no head graphics (only body graphics) so i taked example from Mechanical Defence and MAI. I hope this will works without DLL's

Code Select Expand

    <standardBodyGraphicPath>Pawns/Droid/Body/Droid</standardBodyGraphicPath>
    <headGraphicPath>Pawns/Droid/Head/DroidHead</headGraphicPath>

And this for corpse graphic:

Code Select Expand

<dessicatedBodygraphicPath>Things/Pawns/Naked_Mia</dessicatedBodygraphicPath>

Okay, just one more question (I am a noob when it comes to code modding), in which xml do I need to add these?

And thanks!

[Adamiks]

Oh, sorry i forget to say that you need this in PawnKindDef.

[Helixien]

Thanks a lot mate!

[Adamiks]

Tell me if this will works ^^

[Helixien]

So, I am getting around it now, sadly the head path does not work. I will simple merge the two textures then.

A bigger problem is, I cant spawn any of my cyborgs. Something I will however work out

EDIT: Well, its the weekend now, which means I have to work on my Skyrim mod^^ Anyway. if you want to check what I have done, mybe find the error yourself, I attached the files as a zip

Sorry, but i don't even have time for my mods, so you will need to do it by yourself :/

I'm working on a mod that also adds new races, and If I get my mod to work I'll try and fix yours too

Also, If you want to spawn your race in, use the developer mode in the option menu and click on the first gear icon at the top of the screen, then use the spawn pawn tool. I tried to spawn your cyborg race in and got errors. ERROR:

Tried to generate spawn of humanlike race CyborgEnforcer with null faction. setting to. Verse.Log.Error.String.
