How to make a character.
Download the base character from here.
Place the extracted folder it in the herbloader characters folder in the games data folder.
On windows this is at "%appdata%/Brotato/herbloader/characters"
In the folder are some images and a .json file
The images are named as to what they will add on the character and can be edited in any image application.
Technically only the icon.png file and character.json files are required so you are free to delete any image parts you do not want/need.
Edit the .json file to change the name, stats and starting weapons of your character.
The current weapons in the game are:
Melee:
cactus_mace, chopper, circular_saw, dagger, fist, flaming_knuckles, ghost_axe, ghost_flint, hammer, hand, hatchet, knife, knuckles, lightning_shiv, plasma_sledgehammer, power_fist, rock, scissors, screwdriver, spear, spiky_shield, stick, sword, thunder_sword, torch, wrench.
Ranged:
double_barrel_shotgun, flamethrower, ghost_scepter, laser_gun, medical_gun, minigun, nuclear_launcher, obliterator, pistol, potato_thrower, rocket_launcher, shredder, shuriken, slingshot, smg, taser, wand.
If you have not yet unlocked a weapon, they will not show up as selectable starting weapons on characters.
There should be a comma between each starting weapon you want, as it is stored as an array.
All stats are already listed in the .json file simply change the number to whatever you want and save the json to have those be the stats when you load into the game.
