Custom Skins Guide

After my skin posts I saw some others popping up so I decided to make a guide with a template to help others make skins. The template is lined up using the coords in the characters.json file, so it should be accurate, but some of the sprite sizes are inconsistent so it might take some fiddling with

To Make Custom Skins

1 - Go to steam, right click on Vampire Survivors, properties, and click "Browse" under local files.

2 - Go to [resources/app/.webpack/renderer/assets/img].

3 - Save a copy of characters.png (In case you don't want skins anymore)

4 - Open characters.png and use the overlay to help line up the sprites.

5 - Draw to your hearts content.

6 - Save & Play the game.

Hey sorry to comment here but your profile has comments disabled. I'm interested in your work with modding Backpack Battles and I have a few ideas for some quality of life modifications. My intent is to make these a separate client which will not connect to any of the games online features and will merely allow simulations and testing of builds. Please accept my friend request so we can discuss further, you can delete this comment if you please.

There are numbered folders in the same directory that resources is found in, that contain the files for the DLC stuff. I was trying to edit the characters.png to customize Maruto's skin, but had to find the foscariChars.png that was located in \Vampire Survivors\2313550\assets\img and edit that one instead for it to work.

Many thanks for the response! :)

Guess could at least experiment with recoloring the Sprites...

@Tyrax Lightning I saw people on the discord making custom characters but i'm unsure of how its done. It would require atleast a basic understanding of javascript though, and sadly i dont think we're close to a mod manager for this game yet.

Thank you so much for this Guide! :)

Is it also possible to make Custom Skins for Custom Characters?

[Ghoulcel]

@Outsider I'd check their official discord. I've been away from this game for the past two weeks because of work but they've been working on some cool modding stuff in there from what I saw.

Is there a place where people share/upload their skins?

[Cybexx]

Very simple, thank you!
