Yesterday got help with how to change the sprites in the game. This works out fine for the most part, but some Madeline sprites are hairless. There is a hair.png file, but this is just a white circle. How can I change the models for these files?
#I'm trying to create my own character models, but some of them don't make sense.

Are you adding additional frames to existing animations?
soft mural
Maybe for some of them

Then I suspect it has to do with the Sprites.xml. I'm not well versed in this so I can't help you beyond pointing you in the right direction, but check out the <Metadata> part of the player sprites definition

I'll see to it, but I'm very bad at code and modding so I doubt I can find it out
What if I don't add extra frames?
vast meteor
Then it should just work
I think @solemn meadow is the expert on the hair part of the Sprites.xml and might be able to help
soft mural
Alright, thanks for the help
vast meteor
You know about the hair definition part of the Sprites.xml right? Or am I misremembering?
soft mural
Oh hellp! I need help with changing the hair on Madeline sprites
solemn meadow
I know a bit.
What's up? 
More importantly I know who to point you towards if I don't know lol

So very simply I am trying to change the Madeline sprites to create my own character. Some files in the Graphics Dump are hairless. How do I add my own hair to these files?
I just tested it out in game and the character I created shows up normally, only you can see Madelines old hair behind it
solemn meadow
Oh!
Hair is code generated
If you want your characters hair to look exactly like madelines, you can make your sprites without hair and the game will render it as usual if you want. If you're just changing the color it might honestly be easiest to just link something like hyperline as a dependency, as changing the color requires some code.
If you want to remove her hair entirely and draw your own, you can do that and it's pretty easy, if a bit tedious. But you won't have any indication on how many dashes you have without it
soft mural
And there's no way to add that?
solemn meadow
There's ways to change the hair location and generation, but I don't know how to do it myself haha
You might get a better answer from asking coders. I just know how to make the funny art 
soft mural
Do you knwo who I can ask?
vast meteor
If you want to remove her hair entirely and draw your own, you can do that and i...
If you want to do this option and also indicate dash count, I think Skin Helper's colorgrade functionality might be what you want
soft mural
Oh? That sounds promising
vast meteor
I thought I'd heard that, I could be wrong
solemn meadow
If they did I guess I should learn how it works
I wanna impliment hair generation to completely normal Madeline but idk how
soft mural
For now I'll just change the bodies then, and change the hair at a later date I guess
solemn meadow
Best of luck! If its just the art side I'd be happy to help or answer any questions you have later down the line :>
soft mural
Thanks alot for the help!

Welcome to skinmodding!

I'm not sure. I think it'll close itself after a time
vast meteor
I can close it, but I'm just checking to try and confirm that skin mod helper does have the thing first
Yep found it
