Modding artwork

[leftnoodle]

Hi guys,

First of all I want say how much I love Chasm, amazing work! I missed the kickstarter by a few months and have only had the demo to play until recently, but I bought the full game as soon as it was released on Steam

I have recently been modding the artwork (specifically the characters) painting over the ones in the .XNB files as I am practicing pixel animation and this seems to be a great way to learn! I was hoping to be able to find the animation frame information in a readable format to assist with identifying the correct locations of the animations (as some appear to be split) but this file is a JSON.BIN file and cant be read by any text/bin viewer that I can find. I assume its some form of c# binary/serialization file?

Are there any official/unofficial tools to help with this? I can understand why this might not be allowed/supported.

Thanks again for making this game, its beautiful and loads of fun!

Kind regards,

Simon

Thank you! One of our community members is working on an unofficial modding tool to modify all types of assets including the animations. I don't have a direct link to it at the moment, but it's on our Discord channel somewhere

Oh wow that's great news, thanks for answering so quickly! I will hunt around and see if I can find it

Sadly I wasn't able to find it, does anyone have a link for it? Really interested to try it out

He's been updating it for 1.050 thats on the Steam public Beta branch at the moment, so I'm not sure if its completely compatible with the latest non-beta release or not. Regardless, 1.050 will be out publicly very soon.
