How can I quickly iterate my custom?

In the mod settings you can enable "Quick start" and select the custom character index the list to auto start quick.

Also the commands using the the developer console in game (opening it pressing ' )

SetTeams [red/blue/neutral], to set the team and refresh

SetHat '1/2/3' to set hat and head

you also can enable: Drop Hat, on Right stick to the Right while Idle (Or L key) Kill yourself, on Right stick to the Left while Aim an arrow (Or K key)

* Do I need a short portrait for the 8 player version?

No, the mod will crop the image automatically. Still, the support two elements on Archer Data to handle the 8 player version:

  • EightPlayersNotJoinedPortraitTopOffset : add a top offset to crop the portrait to allow you to select the part what you want to see (like CYAN butts) for the Not Joined Portrait

  • EightPlayersJoinedPortraitTopOffset: the same as above but for Joined Portrait

Ie in your archerData.xml for your custom:

<EightPlayersNotJoinedPortraitTopOffset>10</EightPlayersNotJoinedPortraitTopOffset>
<EightPlayersJoinedPortraitTopOffset>10</EightPlayersJoinedPortraitTopOffset>

Any tips and guide lines for the atlas?

  • You can use the Atlas Creator (From Terria) already full configured and use the other archers as base for you creation check it here

  • I do suggest using Visual studio Code to replace all places where the character name is present for instance: if you character is named "badAssArcher", replace "madeline" to "badAssArcher" (please, mind the the camelCase [it start with a lower capital])

  • Keep the images at the power of 4, 64x64 128x128 256x256 512x512

  • Leave the smallest transparency space possible.
