I would also be interested in seeing if this can be done.

Hi, I 'm not good at English, so I show some examples using patch codes. With this current version, you can make patches for Alien Races as following. That is for Android Mods.
Note: I have not tested it well, so, maybe, probably there are some bugs to use them.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Patch>
<Operation Class="PatchOperationSequence">
<success>Always</success>
<operations>
<li Class="PatchOperationTest">
<xpath>/Defs/AlienRace.ThingDef_AlienRace[defName="ChjAndroid"]</xpath>
</li>
<li Class="PatchOperationAdd">
<xpath>/Defs/AlienRace.ThingDef_AlienRace[defName="ChjAndroid"]/comps</xpath>
<value>
<li>
<compClass>FacialAnimation.DrawFaceGraphicsComp</compClass>

</operations>
</Operation>
</Patch>

Where would this file go, and could you do multiple races in 1 file? Or is it 1 file per race?
I love the mod!

I tried using that code to patch Orassians (neko patch) and Dragonians, but it didn't work. Popped up an error before, but I can't find it again

@felmane
Seems like that patch is for Androids. It looks like a template though so I'm guessing you just need to change some keywords to apply it for Orassians and Dragonians.

Where exactly would you put the code?

I've used this template to patch multiple alien races that have human-shaped heads successfully and it looks awesome. Ratkin get even cuter, if that's possible.

With non-human heads like Forsaken or Avali if you patch this in it will replace the heads with human shaped ones, which while cute doesn't fit with those races.

To use you need to place an xml file with the template in the Patch folder of this mod (or create a new local mod folder) so that the game will load and apply it.

So, I've done what you've suggested, but the animations are still not showing up on my alien races. No errors in the console, but definitely no animations either. Humans have them, but Dragonians for example do not.

cant get this to work with any other race..... i find there defined names in the code but still doesnt work

This is my personal patch for Kurins, you can check it against yours:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Patch>
<Operation Class="PatchOperationSequence">
<success>Always</success>
<operations>
<li Class="PatchOperationTest">
<xpath>/Defs/AlienRace.ThingDef_AlienRace[defName="DRNTF_Race"]/comps</xpath>
<success>Invert</success>
</li>
<li Class="PatchOperationAdd">
<xpath>/Defs/AlienRace.ThingDef_AlienRace[defName="DRNTF_Race"]</xpath>
<value>
<comps />
</value>
</li>
</operations>
</Operation>

<Operation Class="PatchOperationAdd">
<xpath>/Defs/AlienRace.ThingDef_AlienRace[defName="DRNTF_Race"]/comps</xpath>
<value>
<li>
<compClass>FacialAnimation.DrawFaceGraphicsComp</compClass>
</li>
<li>
<compClass>FacialAnimation.HeadControllerComp</compClass>
</li>
<li>
<compClass>FacialAnimation.EyeballControllerComp</compClass>
</li>
<li>
<compClass>FacialAnimation.LidControllerComp</compClass>
</li>
<li>
<compClass>FacialAnimation.BrowControllerComp</compClass>
</li>
<li>
<compClass>FacialAnimation.MouthControllerComp</compClass>
</li>
<!--<li>
<compClass>FacialAnimation.EmotionControllerComp</compClass>
</li>-->
<li>
<compClass>FacialAnimation.FacialAnimationControllerComp</compClass>
</li>

</value>
</Operation>
</Patch>

I also have a bunch of other patches that I've made.

Could someone make a patch for the Astoriel and teach me how and where to put it?

@felmane
you planning to release the patches to the public? :)

the patches are all the same, just replace "DRNTF_Race" with whatever race you want it to work for
