Hey, I'm new to this and this is the first mod I've tried to make - I'm just wanting multiple races mixed in with humans and no new factions or anything. I've written all the xml code for the first race using the online tutorial provided, which was great, though I'm not sure how to use custom textures (Head has multiple colours so can't use the usual way of generating colours) I've made the textures on paint.net and not sure if I need to format them or anything after editing from the default texture assets or if maybe I've done something wrong in the xml, or even if there's something wrong with the way I'm laying my folders out. Anyway - point is that this new species isn't appearing when I start a new colony or at all for that matter. I just need help sorting out this problem, after I make the first race work then the others should be fairly easy to make (in theory).
Thanks for taking the time to read this and sorry if this is a fairly nooby question - looked everywhere for tutorials and even looked at other race mods to try to sort the problem out. :S
