First Mod!

Excellent! This means I can make the Linear Pottery Culture, entirely!!!

Game architecture has been created to add multiple cultures in different eras and locations affecting all the elements in the game. And can be added as mods or shipped with the game or other dlcs.

So as a start what folders need to be copied over to create a new culture and renamed which is what I’d normally do as a starting point.

\Ancient\Entity\Local\Human\Culture[New Name]

\Ancient\Entity\Culture[New Name]

\Ancient\Entity\Region\City\Culture[New Name]

\Ancient\Entity\Region\Human\Faction\Culture[New Name]

Any others I’ve missed?

@lotus253 I’ll update this as I find things if you want to keep an eye out.

Better Body Tattoos!!!

Okay everyone, I have a working mod up for body paints!
I’ll add onto this mod (if you sub on Steam, you should get my updates).
Also, I am planning body paints for different prehistoric cultures based upon years of study! \o/

I am starting with these three pretty designs, but I will add more.

Coming Changes:

  1. Male body paints
  2. More body paints, total
  3. Child body paints (why are they not painted?)

P.S. Thank you all for your help in finding my silly file path problem! I cannot believe I screwed up the paths. I flip things around in my head, easily lol

Maybe child graphic setup has no tattoos.

I’d have thought tatoos were part of the entry into adulthood

I can change that lol

The folder is called tatoos, but these are really body paints.

In fact, body paint, scarification, and tattoos are used on children in lithic societies, today. I’m not really in favor of the scarification/tattoos for children, but that is what they do.

For the kids, I will make them really simple body paints, as that is how contemporary lithic cultures usually do it. Such as a simple plaint line across the face. Adults get the cool looking, complex stuff.

Is there a decent way of seeing what parts of the body the body paints apply to? Like a skin template so you can work out what goes where?

02 - Copy

The current templates take a bit of trial and error working out what goes where.

I can likely work out a REALLY crappy template if you like.

If its not to much fuss that’d be a help!
