# STEP 1 (REQUIRED): Add an image file to the same mod folder this file is in. The preferred file type is webp but png will also work. Now the character can appear at Leo's tattoo parlor.

##

# STEP 2 (OPTIONAL): If you only do the above step, tattoos that go beyond the body will not be masked. To have proper masking, add a second image file to the mods folder with _mask appended to the original filename. So if your first image file is cool_character.webp then its mask should be cool_character_mask.webp

# HOW TO MAKE A MASK: This requires some image editing. The mask simply needs to be transparent in the area you want to allow the tattoo.

# STEP 3 (OPTIONAL): If you'd like to write dialogue for your character, Leo, and/or Sakura, you can add a rpy file to the mod folder as well with the same name as your character. So, to continue our example, it would be cool_character.rpy

# HOW TO MAKE RPY FILES: You can make rpy files using Notepad. When you 'Save As' make sure to click 'Save As Type' and select 'All Files' before manually typing '.rpy' at the end of your filename. Encoding should be set to 'UTF-8'. Obviously you can also use an IDE like Visual Studio Code but you probably don't need my help if you're already doing that.

# RPY TEMPLATE: Below is sample code for an added character. Notice that the label name must match the filename of your original image (minus the extension). When your character speaks, do NOT use their name, but 'mod_speaker' instead.

label cool_character:

    mod_speaker "This is how you have your mod character say something."
    sakura "If you want Sakura to say something, this is how it is formatted."
    leo "This is how you have Leo say something."
    mod_speaker "You can write as much dialogue as you want."
    
    return
