Description
Choose Your Fighter!

Choose Your Fighter allows you to customize your character's model before and throughout a game.

Character model is purely cosmetic and has no impact on the game itself. You can find the character model selection menu in the "character creation" window.

Updates:
  • (v1.1.0) The "tile selection" menu option now appears in the same window as "character creation" (previously you had to use a different window to pick your tile).
  • (v0.9.0) The Magic Mirror item has been turned into its own mod! If you want an item that will allow you to change your character's appearance on-demand, check out the Magic Mirror mod.

Features:
  • Choose the tile for your character from all of the tiles used by the various castes, callings, and presets available during character creation. Or, change your character's appearance at your local gutsmonger.
  • Choose a model from an existing creature or item to use for your player. Play as a crab! A chair! A sentient plasma grenade!
  • Extendable with mods to play with new character models.

Expansions for Choose Your Fighter

Several members of the Caves of Qud community have written mods to extend the character models available in Choose Your Fighter:


(Let me know if you'd like to have your mod added to this list!)

Once you've downloaded one of these mods, you can use them by choosing "Expansions" in the tile selection menu.

Check out the code repository for this mod if you'd like to add your own tiles for Choose Your Fighter: https://gitlab.com/kernelmethod/qudmods/-/tree/main/ChooseYourFighter

Alternatively, ping me @kernelmethod on the Caves of Qud Discord.

Using new tiles for characters

If you want your character to be modeled off of an existing creature or item from the game, you can use the "Choose tile from blueprint" option in the tile selection menu, and then enter the ID of an existing creature or item. For instance:

  • Enter "Great Magma Crab" to play as a Great Magma Crab.
  • Enter "Snapjaw Brute 0" to play as a snapjaw brute.

Refer to the wiki to find the ID of the creature or item you're looking for: https://wiki.cavesofqud.com

It's also possible to mod in new character tiles into the game; see the "Expansions for Choose Your Fighter" section for more details.

Wishes

This mod adds the following wishes to the game:

  • chooseyourfighter:change -- pops open the tile change menu for the player.
  • chooseyourfighter:hflip -- flip the player's tile horizontally.

I enabled the mod in the mod section menu but the tile selection menu doesnt appear still. Any guesses?

Whenever I use the command it activates some random mopango questline and the character tile option does not appear in the character creation screen. What do?

getting an issue when i boot qud where CYF fails to initialize. retrying it says it's successful, but then the game prompts a restart since my mod configuration changed, and once it restarts, it fails again. if i refuse the restart, then the mod just doesn't work.

Nevermind, my bad. I believe it's an issue with Rogue Robots of Qud - Genotype Patches. I'm unsure of how I tested it such that it seemed to be CYF's fault.

Can you share your Player.log with me? You can either send it to me on Discord or post the snippet with the error here. Haven’t heard of this issue before unfortunately

So, very weird issue. This mod makes me unable to make new characters. I don't get an error log, or I'd post it. I just can't get past the initial screen where you can choose either a preset or a custom character unless I choose preset.

tysm!!!! my friend is very happy, currently its trying on all the different bird tiles 😁

Glad you like it! I’m a bit hesitant to put it on NexusMods because it isn’t that heavily used in the community currently and I can’t commit to updating it regularly. But it is possible to install the mod locally by downloading the code from here: https://gitlab.com/kernelmethod/qudmods/-/tree/main/ChooseYourFighter

With the code downloaded you can install it without Steam by following the instructions here: https://wiki.cavesofqud.com/wiki/Modding:Installing_a_mod

I’ll add some updated instructions on how to install the mod to my repository in the next few days, I need to make some documentation changes anyways.
crowcore 18 May @ 11:14am 
Awesome mod, tysm for making this! i have a question. my friend would like to use your mod too, but bought the game on gog and so can't access steam mods. Would you be willing to upload your mod to nexusmods or some other website?

I discovered the issue. The game doesn't enable it by default like other mods you have to authorize it or something.
