Additional Races. Stella Elf. Graphics Update.

Description
Here we go!
Fan patch to get Stellar Elves up to speed with current graphics formulae.
Note that this mod requires the original Stella Elves mod by SEEU to work, and should be loaded ABOVE it on the mode list.

I find these guys to be rather overpowered compared to Dwarfs, but I've left my own modifications out so you can play and experiment and come to your own conclusions. If you know how to mess with RAWs, there's lots to play with. If you don't, maybe this will be a fun way to learn c:

Mine are currently sized down to match dwarfs, but with the Swordstaff altered to be two-hand wielded by smaller people. Also domesticated leopards.

Mod Details

Weapon sprites will now show up properly again, changing color to match the material they are made with.

Armor has been updated, Stellar and Astral armor should use their unique sprites. Artifact armor is still having issues displaying though, I'm working on getting it fixed if I can figure it out. A few sprites might not be properly tuned, I'll have to find which ones I missed as I go.

Babies will now appear as babies! It is using the basic vanilla Elf Baby sprite. Children will still appear as adults, though wearing the telltale red cloak to symbolize they are still children.

Also statues! I was a bit messy with it but it should work I hope.

Thank you for enjoying my work and please let me know any feedback you have!

'Nother update on progress, sorry for the wait and I hope it's not impeding too much enjoyment!
I'm still learning this patch as I hadn't even played since the Ranged Update, so catching myself up and fixing things locally as I go along.

If anybody is eager for that dye update, look through the Data>Vanilla>Vanilla_Reactions folder and try to find the raws referring to dyes. If you compare it to the one in the mod files, you should be able to patch up the dependencies for yourself as you wait.

Update: I haven't gotten to it yet. I keep meaning to but I have terrible problems with procrastination! DX
But I will get to it... Soonish.

Ohhh! Okay!
That should be an easy enough fix. Thanks for letting me know, otherwise I might not have gotten to it until I noticed myself. Should be able to get around to it in the next couple days.

with the new patch there's a missing job to make Dyes that's missing on almost all modded factions. i'm looking myself for ways to fix it personally

Questions and such are welcomed c:
So far my only plans are basic upkeep to make sure the mod functions properly. If anyone has any suggestions or requests though I'm glad to hear and consider them.

I spoke to the original developer a while back and they said they probably aren't coming back to the DF mod scene.

hate to be a bother but are there any planned updates to this mod?
if not that's okay.

Well I don’t know any of that coding/modding stuff for this game so I’m excited for future stuff from you!

Thank you Cherokee! I appreciate your kindness c:

The Erinyes, that was actually the work of Pussimech. They altered the Elf profile sprite to fit on the Erinyes as well.

However for the Stella Elfs, I had tried a similar approach and there is a complication with the Shrouds. They disable features like headgear and hair. You end up with just a bunch of bald featureless elf pictures :')

However, writing this has given me some thoughts. I can't guess a timeline, but I will take a look into it and see if I can work something out.

Love this update. Is there a timeline on having a profile sprite when creating a new Elf? While not totally immersion breaking, it makes me sad staring at no picture in the bottom left corner. The one you did for the Erynyes was amazing

Ah, I'll get that in there then!
