How to make a Custom Character Template

Moon_Dew · 2013-08-25T23:38:42.000Z

I’m trying to create a “Just-for-fun” character with perfect twenty stats and no negative traits, but when I tried editing a character template I get nothing but a bunch of gibberish. Does anyone know how to make a new character template from scratch?

For the record, I’m using the latest experimental build (0.7.1-1041-g8feb37e as of this edit).

Open the game and make a character and press ! to save as template.

Create a new template ingame spending all points on strength (or something).
open the template in whatever text editor and replace the 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th number with 20.
Profit. (unless the template format changes)

Tried it, it made my game crash when trying to start it with that profile. Yes, it’s still a TEMPLATE file so I don’t know what went wrong.

Go into options and set the number of starting points to some absurdly high number.
Create your character with perfect state.
Save it with !.

You wouldn’t happen to be reusing a template / data folder from an older game version?

If this template don’t work, something is very wrong.

Think you could remake your template for the latest experimental build?

Nevermind, edited a file myself. I’m attaching it in case anyone else wants to use it.
