Skins and Hats

Skins & Hats

Looks only change how a companion looks; they never change what it can do. Choose them in the Skin Studio (the Skin Studio button on the Companion screen; skins and hats are two tabs there), which has a live preview and says how to unlock each locked look. Unlocks are per companion.

"Use" means pressing Apply in the Skin Studio while you carry the item; the item is used up and the look stays unlocked for that companion. Some hats do not fit every companion; the Studio lists only those that do.

For pack makers

Looks are data:

• data/<namespace>/skins/<type>/<name>.json, or skins/<name>.json with "types": ["*"] for every type,
• data/<namespace>/hats/<name>.json.

A file names the companion types it fits ("types"), its texture (and optional glow and eye_color) and an unlock rule: default, bond (level 1-4), advancement (id), item (item), shop (price), season (season) or hook (hook, a Neroland Core gate a quest opens). Name it in your language file: the key is skin. or hat., the namespace and the file path with / written as . (for example skin.mypack.mining_bot.camo), plus the same key with .unlock for the unlock sentence. A {type} in a texture path is filled with the companion type, for one file that fits every type. /reload sends the new list to everyone. See Compatibility.
