Character and Player Skin customization Templates:
|
|
==================================================
|
|
|
|
A small assortment of textures for customizing your player's texture.
|
|
|
|
The 'character.png' texture is assigned to the 3d model of the player.
|
|
The 'wieldhand.png' is the texture of the player's hand.
|
|
While the 'player.png' and 'player_back.png' are used for representing your character in formspecs.

Creating your customization:
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
Character:
|
|
|
|
1. First open the 'character_template.png' in your preferred art/image editor.
|
|
Preferably one with support for layers, grid overlays & other tools; I'd recommend using GIMP: https://www.gimp.org/
|
|
But, any will do.
|
|
|
|
2. You will then want to create a grid overlay on the image. Set the grid to 16x16 pixel cubes. You should end up with the image being divided into 4 blocks on top & 4 on the bottom.
|
|
|
|
Ex.
|
|
1|2|3|4
|
|
-------
|
|
5|6|7|8
|
|
|
|
3. Next you'll want to create a series of transparent layers for overlaying skin, clothes, hair, eyes & accessories.
|
|
|
|
4. Then open up the images in the "character" folder. They are aligned to be easily dropped onto to the template.
|
|
|
|
5. Layer textures in this order, and in the following quadrants(if unsure, ignore quadrant numbers & use the template as a visual guide.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
"character_skin_tones.png" - 64x32 - Overlays quadrants [1,2,5,6,7,8]
|
|
"character_clothes.png" - 64x32 - Overlays quadrants [5,6,7,8] & potentially [3,4] for headwear.
|
|
"character_hair_lengths_and_colors.png" - 64x32 - Overlays quadrants [1,2] for short hair & [1,2,6,7,8] for long hair.
|
|
"character_beardhair_colors.png" : optional - 16x16 - Overlays quadrant [1]
|
|
"character_eye_colors.png" - 16x16 - Overlays quadrant [1]
|
|
"character_face_items.png" : optional - 32x16 - Overlays quadrant [3,4]
|
|
|
|
6. Before merging the layers together delete the secondary head sprite on the base template in quadrants [3,4].
|
|
|
|
7. After getting the right look, merge the layers & save your character skin to "character.png" & move into the texture folder.
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
Wieldhand:
|
|
|
|
8. Next we update the wieldhand texture.
|
|
Import the corresponding skintone hand matching the character you created; from the "wieldhand_skin_tones.png" file.
|
|
And, place it into a 16x16 transparent image. Save, this newly created file as "wieldhand.png" & move into the texture folder.
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
Player:
|
|
|
|
9. You will now need to create 2 transparent images 16x32; one called "player.png" and the other "player_back.png".
|
|
Next you may load up the base template, "player_FrontBack_template.png".
|
|
There's a skin & clothes template in the "player" folder that you can import & overlay on top of the player template. Do this similarly to how you created the character skin.
|
|
Hair, eyes, and others items can be re-used from the characters folder tempates.
|
|
|
|
10. After its appearance is similar to your character skin. Merge the layers & cut the player_template in half moving the appropriate halves to the transparent 16x32 tilesheets you created earlier.
|
|
Save, and move to your textures folder to be finished.
