Help

I'm not sure what you mean... are you trying to create a size two character? That is not possible for heroes. But a size two enemy is fine - just use one of the boss or size two enemies as a reference in how they are setup.

For heroes - I keep them at 9 squares high if that makes sense to you.

If the asset you are using is facing the wrong direction you can do 1 of two things

Open it in an art program and rotate it and then save it as a new file to use. Or when you place the asset in Spine, turn on the scale option and draw the horizontal indicator completely across - the image will skew inward and then if you keep going it will come out on the other side as opposite. Hope that makes sense. Thats what i do if I want to switch a left arm to be used as a right arm or whatever.

And how you did it?

Opened up the abimination combat - and a second copy of spine for my custom character - then carefully went through and set it up e closely as possible.

You have to make sure that you turn off skel pieces of whatever the opposite mode is. So if you have human active as an animation - all beast parts must be disabled - and vice versa.

What shagged me up is that it doesn't always stick - or I simply missed things. I had to look at the draw order which shows all pieces for both modes and make sure the right one's were on and the right one's were off for each mode. You have to use the transparency and the lock key in order to make the changes stick and that has to be setup through the animation screen.

It took me the entire day yesterday to figure it out.

You also have to do this for the trnaform animation and the defend animation.

You really gotta sit down and analyze the abomination skel and bones and animations, to start to grasp where to start with your own. This was by far the hardest class mod I have made so far.

Question, How do I make some enemies or heroes that transform, like the abomination, or bloodsuckers?

LOL - I just finished making a hero that trnasforms with spine - its was a painful process but it worked out.

No prob glad I could help - it was an issue that several people were having yesterday that the devs helped to resolve. And welcome to the modding community!

Hi, I have a slight issue with the mod uploader. I land on this error every time I drag my .xml file to the steam_workshop_upload.exe:
"Steam couldn't initialize. Are you logged on?"


I am logged on and I'd like to know what could be causing the issue. Can someone replicate the bug or is it a "me" thing?

Try this:

For me, there a "steam_appid.txt" file in the root directory folder of DarkestDungeon (Or just the "DarkestDungeon" folder). I was told to copy that file to the "_windows" folder, where the uploader is located, which worked after restarting steam.

Hey guys,

I wanted to post here for a moment to share some info with the other modders out there.

Some of us have experienced frequent users who are extremely negative to vicious in their comments on our mods. And until now I had thought all we could do is delete their posts.

This is not the case :)

You CAN block them from posting to your workshop content. If you feel that someone is constantly bothering you to harassing you and your mods - you can block them from posting to all of your workshop content.

To do this, if you feel you need to....

Open the person's steam page.
Go to "More" in the opper right area of their page.
In More select "block all communication"

Done!

Now this user can no longer post comments to your mod pages! They can try - but steam will not allow them to do post to your content anymore. They CAN still subscribe - as sometimes the hater is the fan - but they can no longer bother you any more.

I know this is an iffy topic for some - but it is worth it if is something that is weighing on you seeing such negativity. All the mods we make take a lot of time to create - none of us deserve to be berated or abused. Over the last few years of modding - from Skyrim to DD - I have seen great modders quit in making mods because the negativity was too much. For artists like myself - we can take a level of criticism in order to improve - but hate and nastiness can be too heavy to bear.

She looks stunning! How are you doing with your progress?

I recently finished my Enchantress - which was made with Spine Essentials. Working on remaking my Apothecary now. Animating the walk/idle/combat is challenging! :)

If there is anything I can do to help you out just let me know. Plus I won't have to re-make my Falconer now either lol.

@scorpiovaeden Congrats! Sorry, I have been buried in Crimson Court work so I apologize for not responding sooner, but it sounds like you managed to figure everything out! And yes, as a general rule, animations need to be named the same as their filenames, e.g. "combat", "camp", etc. There are exceptions to that, and I will try to post some more info post CC release for fx and other things. Cheers!

No worries at all - I completely understand with how busy you guys are. It was fun troubleshooting with Spine. I am almost finished re-making my Apothecary as well.

I am really looking forward to the new content in CC - so congrats to you and the red hook team for being so close to finishing it :)

Sorry for the whirlwined and turning this forum into a troubleshooting tornado - But I just figured out the latest issue!

Onward and forward!

EDIT:

OK... new question. I cannot seem to get any of my attack animations to play in combat. Whenever one should play I get an error like :

SpineSprite: Unable to Find Animation: Defend (or any other animation).

Any idea what I am doing wrong? I can only assume that attack and in-battle animations have to be saved differently than a walk/combat/idle?

EDIT 2:

YAY! I figured it out! I did not realize that for the static attack anims I still had to name the animation. She is now up and running!
