Fayefaye, I really like your work. Thanks for sharing a link to your portfolio. I can't wait to see what you have in store for creating a mod.

Thanks very much! It definitely looks like a lot of fun.

Hah, amazing, couldn't have done that better myself. I wonder how those orbs on her shoulders work though, cause that's the number one reason I scrapped that idea, it really fucked up in animations.

Thank you very much!
The back shoulder pad is part of her torso sprite (I think I need to move it's placement a bit) and the front one is part of the upper arm sprite, it looks a bit off just because of how her arm moves, although it's definitely better than it was since I made the shoulders a bit wider (just by moving how the image was placed in the canvas, I don't know if that is standard practice, though it seemed to work pretty well for me). If you'd like I can send you the current version of this just to see how the animation looks, maybe you can teach me something

No, they are in the graphics folder for my mod, and properly referenced in their .xml file in the skins folder (I did use that tutorial when I set it up).  Thats mostly why I'm at such a loss here, I've searched the forums and wiki and didn't find any other references to this happening 

I forgot to mention also, the game crashes when i try to place an entity in the level editor. I don't know if that is connected or anything >_< figured that out myself

Modding / skinning problem

« on: June 08, 2010, 10:03:16 pm »

Hi all, I have been wanting to try modding aquaria for quite some time and finally got around to doing it.
Anyway, I have a problem with my new Naija skin's head, the rest of the skin loads fine, but the head seems to default back to the normal Naija head, also I'm not sure how to get rid of the cape. I have installed a few  other people's mods to compare and had the same problem with the human skin mod, which loaded the basic head and cape over the top of the human head and red bandanna.
Has anyone else experienced this?  I'm hoping it's just something silly I've overlooked. Thanks for your help!

Also a side note, there seems to be an abundance of programmers and a scarcity of artists modding aquaria at the moment, which is handy since I'm an artist! Check out my portfolio here http://www.faye2441.com I'd love to collaborate at some point!
