As of writing, Barotrauma doesn't support human variants yet. So, if you want to create a human-like character, you'd have to copy-paste the Human character from your contents folder to your mod folder

Sadly, I cannot guide you on how to fully create a character, but what I can do is tell you to add UseHumanAI="True" to the Character tag's attributes (it is completely undocumented)



Because of my lack of knowledge on custom content types technical limitations, this mod requires you to make a Lua file to register your character as a playable species. It's not as hard as you think it will be

• Once you've finished creating your character, go into your mod's main folder
  
• Create a folder named "Lua"
  
• Create another folder inside of the "Lua" folder named "Autorun"
  
• Create a new file and change it's file extension to .lua (you can name the file anything, it doesn't matter)

After that, your filepath should look like this:



Now, open the lua file you've created in any text-editing program (really, any!), and paste this code snippet into it.
Here's an example of what it would look like if you had a character with the species name "Lizardperson":


And now you should be done. Starting a new server with all the mods enabled should list the species in your menu


Some species may have special behaviour that requires them to be opted out of some NHR features. They can do so using a parameter table as a second argument when registering a species.
These are the current parameters:

• uses_default_husk: (bool, true) If the registered species should also opt-in for Human affliction targeting. If false, they will not be able to gain the base game husk afflictions (husk, spineling spines, mudraptor beak). Useful if you have your own implementation.

• Trying to join a server that doesn’t have this mod enabled could crash your game. Maybe
  
• Certain UI elements won't update correctly
  
• Yes, registering species is not the most developer-friendly experience. I'm looking for a better method
  
• Saving characters could break... really badly
  
• Mods that alter the default human character currently have broken sprites if they are loaded after (under) NHR. Loading it before NHR will make them appear correctly.
