Project Humanize Character Overhaul

[pulsar bridge]

If you were searching for a more vanilla like / non-over the top anime character replacer REJOICE!!!

I would like to present a mod/project that I have been working on for the last week, I call it ''Project Humanize Character Overhaul'', in short it is an overhaul of the humanoid characters in the game with the aim of improving them aesthetically as well as changing unattractive vanilla aspects of the game as well as taking special care not to overdo it with content that deviates too much from the theme of the game.

-No more lizard people (with all the love and respect to the developers :3)

-Better and more detailed clothes with their respective revisions of the Abysswaifu++ mod, faces from Enhanced Characters and hair from [USDB]Female Appearance Remake, corrections and adaptations made by me.

-Hundreds of new Names and Lastnames from countries all around the world.

-No sexuality increased to 100%

-No bouncing Milkers Physics

-Clothes that show a little skin in roles and outfits where it makes some sense.

-Soon when I learn to handle and upload items to the workshop, I will make adaptations for other mods that add equipment and may have clipping problems.

-I still have to make tweaks to the female hair, one of the accessories, mask probably for even better skin and hair color, and maybe some sprites that could improve.

I would appreciate it if you made them and uploaded them to the workshop, I manage well with the artistic part but my knowledge of scripting or XML is little, thank you in advance If you read all this, and now I attach some screenshots of the WIP. 😄

The workshop page: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3241571278

INSTALLATION:

-Abysswaifu++ is required BUT DO NOT ENABLE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.
-Try to keep PHCO in a fairly high place in the load order so it doesn't get override
-NOT COMPATIBLE with anything that changes human.xml unless a patch is made

Please go give the other mods authors some loove and likes too!!!

I wanted to include a ''less'' bouncy version but it would require to re-sprite, some xml and character editor, the last two being the death of me 💀

[brittle nexus]

ah yes, sex appeal in a game where people are frequently torn limb from limb by aliens in a frenzy

grong respects that you did not go that route

[timber girder]

damn kira parker kinda bad tho

[tropic sage]

As someone who uses europa waifu: Finally a 2nd alternative to the default extreme ulgy sprites.

Craig the medical doctor (bottom right) could use another nose pixel and bottom lip pixel or two.

I don't get why is it so hard to get boob jiggle and bikini suits in this game 😩

[crude idol]

touch grass

[sour siren]

What do you mean there's no boob bouncing

[pulsar bridge]

Already fixed/ reduced, it was the hair that was cutting some pixels of the nose of all characters.

Good news everyone, i got the okay of abysswaifu++ author so i can upload this to the workshop!!!

[pulsar bridge]

I fixed that haircut if thats what you mean

Next will be to remove the strange dark lining in the chin of female characters, which should be an easy fix in PS.

Orky Voice Job Done!

[tropic sage]

Nice!

[timber girder]

Noooo I mean bad as in hot lol

The sprites are great lmao

[pulsar bridge]

Ohhh hahaha i tho that was the case xD, yeah and she's also enthusiast

NEW UPDATE: Fixed invisible clothing and chinese characters on the log console.

[tropic sage]

While your modding it anyway, plz add more hair color options too 🙂 some exotic ones are nice too, it IS a video game on another planet.. people can have green or blue hair.

(at least a tiny % of the options..)

unnaturally saturated yellow can be nice in video games too

(more blonde options)

I would like to add this and i actually can but the issue is they tend to spawn way to often and currently there's no way to make them rarer and thus you can come across several dudes with painted beards and etc. But i can't give you an heads up on how to edit hair colours.

[tropic sage]

Add more 'vanilla' variants and the odd balls will show up less.

[pulsar bridge]

This should be easy to add, i think i may have made the hair masks wayyy to dark, i will test increasing the hue so the colors are a little bit more vibrant

[pulsar bridge]

Colours chances on hair spawn cannnot be edited, so even if i added more hair styles, there will still be random colours every where, hold on a second and i will give a quick insight on how to edit hair colours.

[tropic sage]

yea im saying, if you add 9 hues of 'brown hair' and 1 hue of blue, you'll get 90% brown hair

Don't need a ton of hues of blue/green/purple/etc, most people will just want the rather saturated option

but when I pick a natural hair color, im really picky aboue the hue/saturation

so id want lots of natural colors anyway

and when you see like 10% of people with wild hair colors, its kinda cool instead of jarring.

[pulsar bridge]

open humans.xml
replace the "haircolors" with the hex color you want, for example

haircolors="(#ded7cc, 100); (#d2a36f, 100); (#c77d52, 100); (#ac4934, 100); (#d8ba85, 100); (#cd975a, 100); (#a15837, 100);"

[pulsar bridge]

That could work, but i will probably need to see if you can add more colors without overwritting the vanilla ones. But it's not planned yet, maybe some time in the future but i can't make promises.

Also the character creation interface is limited, and tweaking it would probably require some more in deep xml editing at what i'm not really good at.

[tropic sage]

whats the ,100?

[pulsar bridge]

Not really know, i got that sort of guide from another comment in another mod a long time ago but i never really tried to change hair colors, but it may be intensity.

[tropic sage]

I wonder if its commonness.

public static Color SelectRandomColor(in ImmutableArray<(Color Color, float Commonness)> array, Rand.RandSync randSync) => ToolBox.SelectWeightedRandom(array, array.Select(p => p.Commonness).ToArray(), randSync) .Color;

Most likely it is.

Give it a try, sadly i cannot help you with XML but there should be many peps around here that could be of more help.
