Races Framework

[John Doom]

I'm working on a mod to make possible adding new races.
It works already, but is not polished yet. Before releasing it, I'd like to test it making a new race. My only problem is that I'm not very good at drawing and I'd need new sprites for faces.
Does anywant want to make a new race or help me with drawings?

P.S.: Before this thing dies off, I've decided to share my source code here:
"Races" is the "Races Framework" necessary to add new races;
"OrcRace" is the mod I was trying to create, use it for reference to make new races.

Damn, that's quite the game changer you're working on there, I'll be keeping an eye on it.

But since choosing a race in Daggerfall is map-based, how did you approach it? Do you edit the map or did you find an alternatitve solution?

You press a button for a list of the custom classes

Another potentially amazing mod!

Just a couple of questions out of curiosity:

1. Do you already have idea about which other races you would like to implement?
2. Are you planning to include some specific stat boosts for the races? For example, orcs can have an higher average starting strenght than the other races, but maybe less intelligence or personality?

Thanks!

This sounds similar to an idea I had a while ago:

As for sprites, perhaps you can try use the ones from the Playable Orcs mod?

1. Orcs
2. Yes, within DFU's technical limits

I thought about it, however the original mod is long lost and I couldn't get an answer by its author yet. The sprites on his website are actually resized and would look ugly

Hi there.

If you still need an artist, i can contribute. Never done any work for DFU though. What are some things I should know? (dimensions, palette, no huge tusks or gigachad body?)

Grab these sprites and edit them as you like, just don't resize them. Could you turn them into orcs?

No. They ain't aldmers

Before I dive further, are these ok? (Face and body files in the zip. Males will receive hair and scars later. Edge is smoothed btw. DF has too many pixels to look pixel-art-y)
