Should be loaded after any mods that add new body locations.
Needs to be loaded after the Tattoo Parlour mod.

Enabling retextures that use this mod requires a restart.

• Vanilla Faces Pack - Adds 4 male and 4 female faces. Only supports the vanilla body textures
  
  
• Details Pack - Adds 37 details including: freckles, moles, scars, burns, and missing eyes.
  Missing eyes also affect the players vision in B42 (sandbox option)
  
  
• Details Pack HD Textures - 512x512 textures for the Details Pack.
  Do not use this with the vanilla body textures or any retextures that are 256x256 or it will cause seams.

Works in existing saves

Joining a game with a character from before the mod was added will open the character customisation window.

Stubble and chest hair will automatically be converted.

Change Customisation In-Game

There is a sandbox option to allow players to open the customisation window and change their face or details in-game.

The buttons to change your appearance and body hair are in the character info panel.

Sandbox Options

Admins are always able to change their appearance, but they can spawn an Appearance Changing Spiffo item which gives this ability to players when held.

There is also a sandbox option to hide customisation options with specific categories from normal players. Admins can spawn an Appearance Unlocking Bear item which will unhide these options when held.

Body hair growth and visible muscles can be enabled or disabled - but there is also an option where players can toggle them on their character from the customisation window.

There is also the option to set if missing eyes will affect the players vision cone. This is exclusive to B42

Mod Support

I've tried my best to make character customisation as moddable as possible - new faces and details can be easily inserted into the mod.

The body hair textures used in this mod will cut off at the underwear which will look broken when using a nude mod.

I have included nude versions of the body hair textures that you can freely use. There are 256 and 512 resolution files.

You can add any clothing item as a face or detail option as long as they use an appropriate bodylocation that won't collide with other items.

You can also add fullbody textures but they will appear above muscles.

All of the functionality for getting and setting a characters customisation is accessible which should hopefully make it easy to add support for NPC mods.

See the readme and Example.lua for an explanation of the mods features

Compatibilities

• Makeup
  
  
• Hopefully any cosmetic mod
  
  
• Any remodel mods
  
  
• Any retexture that includes replacement textures for this mod
  
  You can disable muscles in sandbox settings if the retexture you are using does not support it
  
  Nude mods will need to replace the body hair textures to avoid it cutting off at the underwear line
  
  
• Improved Hair Menu
  
  
• Bigger Character Avatars - Recommended

Incompatibilities

• Some clothing mods might cause transparency issues with customisation. This is caused by having a broken masks folder that is missing textures for bodyparts. To fix this you can copy the missing textures into the masks folder from media\textures\Body\Masks
  
  
• Mods that access the players clothing without doing any extra checks on the items will cause weird side effects
  
  Starving Zombies checks the blood of all clothing items, including customisation, so having a non-default face selected will make zombies twice as attracted to the player
  
  One way for modders to avoid this problem should be to ignore items that have "MaleBody" as the display category or to ignore items that have no display name
  
  
• Mods that affect stubble or chest hair will probably cause errors (Ras' Body Mod, Reorganised Info Screen, etc)
  
  
• Reorganised Info Screen
  
  
• Dynamic Body should probably work fine if you disable visible muscles
  
  
• Retextures that replace the chest hair textures with new skins won't be accessible because vanilla chest hair is replaced with a separate texture

Known issues

• Having too many traits active may cause the info screen to break because of how small it is. You'll need to use Bigger Character Avatars to fix this
  
  
• Some details are stretched on the female model, this is impossible to fix
  
  
• Scars look too bright on darker skintones
  
  
• No controller support. Might try and add at some point but it's too much of a nightmare to figure out

Not adding

• Tabs for facial features like eye colours, noses, etc. It doesn't fit my vision for the mod and it would take too much effort to add now
  
  
• Tattoos. There's already a tattoo mod
  
  
• Body shapes are impossible to add stop asking
  
  
• Nude options. There are already like a million mods adding nude versions of the vanilla textures

Credits

I had to take a lot of code from Improved Hair Menu by duckduckquak to make this mod work.

Studying the code from the Furry mod by Jaql and Wuffwick as well as Ra's Body Mod helped me make this mod, but I haven't used any of their code.
