[Mod] (Alpha 5D) Colonist Creation Mod v2.3c

[drysider]

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:

Code Select Expand


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".

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?

Sadly, this didn't help. The problem persists.

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?

[Rhea]

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

[Argain]

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.
