📋 About This Mod
First, I'm not native english, so... my english is pretty bad (but I try to learn).
Second, here's my first mod ever (thanks to Lissar and her tutorial), I made some new haircut (just for the avian and the hylotl now) and I hope I had time to do a lot more ;)
Here's a picture of the new haircut,
I try to keep the specifity of each species.
How to install:
Download "PatchworkHaircut.zip"
Go to your Starbound folder
Open the "mods" folder - in case it doesn't exist, create a new folder named mods
Open "PatchworkHaircut.zip" and move the "PatchworkHaircut" folder from the zip file into your "mods" folder
Go back to your Starbound folder and open the folder corresponding to your operating system ("win32" for Windows, "linux64" for 64 bit Linux etc.)
Locate the "bootstrap.config" file and open it with a text editor
Add a comma to the last asset source currently on the list and enter "../mods/PatchworkHaircut" (including the quotation marks)
Save the modified "bootstrap.config"
Now, you get your new haircuts :iswydt:
(stolen from Parkinson)
If you don't have any other mods installed this way, your "bootstrap.config" should look like this:
"assetSources" : [
"../assets",
"../mods/PatchworkHaircut"
"storageDirectory" : ".."
Hope you enjoy this, if you get comments or suggestions, don't hesitate (I write english so bad but I understand the other without any problems)
