Nillians

Omschrijving
Concept

This is an add-on playable race of blue and purple, long-eared folks who deeply value knowledge and are excellent at getting it.

Features
  • Civilization:
    • Nillian civilization that values knowledge and curiosity, with a side of revelry, it'd be a good idea to make guild halls and libraries full of books for them, with quick access to a fun tavern.
  • Creatures:
    • Nillians have sharp minds, and they'll learn skills twice as fast as any other creature, and forget them slower!
    • While a Nillian mind may be sharp, their physicality not so much, and so they have a lower strength, endurance, and agility than most other creatures.
    • While Nillians may enjoy a good drink and a party, they don't mind being sober.
    • Nillians value romance and so are much more likely to get into relationships (less bedrooms!), and they won't care about gender.
    • Nillians are crepuscular, so they'll be most active during the twilight hours.
  • New items:
    • Modular bookcase system for making grandiose libraries. All modules behave exactly like a vanilla bookcase. This is for looks only.
    • Craftable scholar hats (wizard hats) and eye glasses.
  • Graphics:
    • Fully original spritework for Nillians and for some extra items. All done by the great LJneko (username NiloValentine).
  • Language:
    • Nillians speak a simpler, less flowery version of elvish. You will see this in their names being simplified versions of elvish names.

Values
  • Nillians value the pursuit of knowledge above all.
  • They greatly value friendship, truth, eloquence, merriment, craftsmanship, skill, hard work, perseverance, and romance.
  • They dislike cunning, tradition, and stoicism.

Lore bits / Minor features
  • Nillians call their leaders "spines".
  • Nillians are an offshoot of elves, it is believed that their different values caused a split, and Nillians left to live on their own.
  • Nillians have no qualms with using wood, they understand the practicality of it, and think it looks neat.
  • Nillians can make capes and headscarves, to stay cozy and look great.
  • While they originally spoke elvish, their preference for passing on scientific knowledge and stories through spoken word led to them dropping a lot of the written intricacies.
  • The name "Nillian" comes from their word for "know", "nil". Nillian translates to "knower".
  • Nillians tend to prefer the company of dwarves to that of elves, as they see elves as too pretentious and proud, and have the same dwarven passion for craftnilship.
  • Nillians smell faintly of rain.
  • It is a common myth that when a Nillian has a bright idea, their hair will shine brighter than usual for the day.

Credits
  • LJneko (@js.ravaglio) for his full Nillian resprite, couldn't have asked for a better artist.
  • The modding community over at the Kitfox discord, y'all are super helpful!
  • Barely_Creative for their Roclet Mod, which I used to learn how custom races worked. You should check out their mod, metal birds are cool.
  • Maria Meeshau, who I commissioned for Finch, the nillian in this page's preview image (who was previously a D&D character). Check out her art here.[www.artstation.com]

Not much, last time I was working on it I added in 2 additional weapon types, and mainly went to work on the portraits. I burnt out on working with them sadly, haven't touched it since. I will come back to it in the near future, though, I think.
I do gamedev as my main hobby, and that sucks up a lot of my time.
I really appreciate y'all still playing with it tho!

@Tapioka Sure! I forgot I was missing those, I'll get on em soonish (3-4 weeks)

My nillians run has been so fun, and their visuals are great! Tsallast can you consider making sprites for baby or children Nillians?

Right on c:

I wish you luck tsallast! I'm glad you're still keeping up with things.
tsallast  [auteur] 29 jan om 17:01 
@2chuu4u Thanks! I fidgeted around with the issue but could never get it right, it'll be whenever I update the project next, still trying to find a pixel artist for the portraits.

I noticed a small oversight in your mod!
There are Nillians going around bald despite having "extremely long hair!"

This is because creatures hair grows continuously through their lives, and as Nillians are ageless, theirs will go far beyond the parameters set in the graphics_creatures_nillian.txt

It is easy to fix though. Simply removing the TISSUE_MAX_LENGTH parameter from the Hair 13 categories (there should be six) will apply the final Hair graphic to all Nillians sporting hair longer than 275.

@Fake Antivirus I'd love to! It's always on the back of my mind, I'm starting to look around for an artist that'd be willing to make them -- I certainly don't have the pixelart skills for it.

is there a chance we'll be getting a portrait update to this mod? Only race mod i play with consistently, thank you!
