Some questions about doing skins to help me make my skinmod

[dawn swallow]

So first of all, is there any chance to add pixels for hair? Can I change the hair form? Any answers would be really appreciated

[bronze heron]

You can change color, and you can add a sprite that overlaps where you expect hair to end up being, and I believe you can edit the bangs to some extent

But hair is generally rendered in-game

A bunch of progressively smaller circles

[dawn swallow]

Yeah, but I need these 3 pixels to be colored in current hair color. For example when I have 1 dash they are yellow and when I have 0 dashes pixels are green (like the hair)

(Showing on my phone cause I'm not on my pc rn)

[bronze heron]

If it’s the same as the hair color I would guess you can edit the bangs texture to also cover that space? I’m admittedly not very confident at all with skinmodding

[dawn swallow]

Bangs are ending 1 pixel below this "dorito hair chip"

[bronze heron]

Dang. I don’t have any better answers sadly. Dw someone who knows what they’re talking about will most certainly be along

[dawn swallow]

Well then we'll just wait for someone. Thanks

Btw I'm gonna try extending bangs texture

[quasi otter]

pretty sure you can just resize the texture and edit the offsets in the sprites.xml to account for that

[dawn swallow]

HAHAHAHAH forgot to change offset

But still it works so, thank you!

Please tell me what to do with line hair="0,-2|-1,-2:1|-1,-2:2|-1,-2:2|-1,-2:2|-1,-1:2|-1,-1:2|-1,-1:2|-1,-1:1|-1,-1:1|-1,-1|0,-1|0,-1"/> I need to increase height for 3 pixels but how I need to edit the -2:1?

[quasi otter]

the format is like so:

• <frame 0 offset>|<frame 1 offset>|...
  • | is the frame separator
  • if there's less frame offsets than there are animation frames, the hair will disappear on the frames where no offsets are defined
• <offset> is <x>,<y>:<bangs frame>, or a literal x to denote "no hair"
  • where:
    • x is the horizontal offset (+ is right, - is left)
    • y is the vertical offset (+ is up, - is down)
    • bangs frame is.. the bangs frame - if unspecified it will default to 0

so to move the bangs up 3 pixels you just edit all the y offsets, subtracting 3 from them

@dawn swallow

[dawn swallow]

Ohhhh

I got it

Thank you

There is also another way ehich is using an everest-provided meta file for changing properties of images.

Create a file named bangs00.meta.yaml and inside it type Y: -3. That should offset the image up by 3 pixels. This is also better than the xml based approach since this doesn't change the offset of the flowy part of the hair. Then do this to the other 2 bangs files too.

Afaik the meta.yaml files aren't really meant to be used but this is a rare case where I say they're useful. I guess bangs offsets are a thing that could be added to smh+.

@serene wing Currently there's no officially good way to change the offset of the bangs textures. Perhaps adding something like bangsOffset: 0,0 into hairConfig.yaml is a good idea.

[dawn swallow]

Actually I did it with Snip's way and it fully works, chip is on the head. What about flowy part I don't think I need it to be in original position.
I have new question: I need the flowy part be less wide. Other words I need to decrease it's width (something by 1 pixel by each side). So how to do it?

Also, can I move the flowy hair part?

[serene wing]

Makes sense, I'll do it

[gilded bramble]

It moves along your bangs texture if you change the position in the xml

[dawn swallow]

Damn it

[gilded bramble]

You can just shave off one pixel from the hair00.png. If you want a ponytail with more controlled width you can set the hair scale in the hairConfig.yaml. Reference smh+ documentation.

[gilded bramble]

That's why I suggested the meta.yaml thing. Or just wait until AAA adds the feature in.

[gilded bramble]

Thanks. I should've suggested this a year ago lol.

[dawn swallow]

Hmm, where can I get the smh+ documentation? In my template I have standard hairconfig with two settings

[gilded bramble]

For changing the scale replace the haircolors with something like. Not on computer so can't check if this is correct.

HairAttrWithDashes:
- Dashes: 0
   Color: "9B3FB5" 
   Length: 5
   Scale: 1,0.25
- Dashes: 1
   Color: "FF3F25" 
   Length: 5
   Scale: 1,0.25

https://github.com/AAA1459/SkinModHelper/blob/release/docs/guide/skinconfig/HairConfig.md

The template is using an old format. I really need to update it.

[dawn swallow]

So I change the Haircolors line with that, right?

[dawn swallow]

Thanks

I mean this
HairColors:

• Dashes: 0
  Color: "84232D"
• Dashes: 1
  Color: "EDC13D"
• Dashes: 2
  Color: "56D15A"

[gilded bramble]

Yep

[dawn swallow]

Alright, thank you very much
