How to use:
Custom Songs:
Make a new folder in assets/data
Name it what you want the song name to be but lowercase and replace spaces
with "-"
(like Life Will Change > life-will-change)
Add json files to folder
Rename each file to the folder name + the difficulty ending, if applicable
Make a temp folder in assets/music
Add the music to the folder
Rename them to the name of the song with hyphens ("-") with the suffix
(like Life Will Change > Life-Will-Change)
Drag them out to assets/music
Go to freeplaySonglist.txt
Add the song name to it, with the same name as the music files
(like Life Will Change > Life-Will-Change)
Launch FNF
For each difficulty:
Open the song
Hit the '7' key
Go to the song tab
Click on the text box
Replace what is in there with the name of the music files
(like Life Will Change > Life-Will-Change)
Hit 'Save'
Save the file and remember to add the difficulty suffix
After finishing this add the saved file to the folder and overwrite.
Custom Characters:
Go to assets/images/custom_chars
Drag in the mod png and xml (if no xml grab the base game one)
Rename them to the name of the character (should be lowercase)
If there are custom icons:
Add the iconGrid.png
Rename to (character name)_icons.png
Open custom_chars.json
Add a new property:
"(character name)": {
"like": "(character this is based on)",
"icons": [(alive icon number),(dead icon number)]
}
Remember your commas!
Characters also now support portraits.
If your character has a portrait drag it in and rename it to your character
name + '-portrait'
They also support custom death sprites.
If your character is based on pixel bf:
drag in the death png + xml
rename to '(character name)-dead'
If it is based on bf: Great! Everything is already done for custom death!
