so first you have to make sure the horse .png files are in the actual customhorses folder, as well as the .horse file being saved in that same folder when you save that horse.
Also ! You can make folders inside the the customhorses folder for .png files organization but not the .horse files, that's also give you an error like that
You just create a horse and then you click on load horse skin and you choose 1 lizard then you will click on load horse BG color and click on the same lizard (if the horse you want to load have a BG then use it) and if you want you can choose a color with the RGB bars to change the color of the smoke and the paint it lets around. Finally you click on "Name and save horse" you save it in customhorses folder and you will get your horse. (ALL THESE STEPS ARE IN THE FILE IN THE GAME FOLDER "HOW TO HORSE.txt")
made an account just for this. various msm workshoppers! they're not really colorable due to me being stupid and not understanding anything BUUT you can make them race!
very cool! is it possible to make a custom horse with a static image like from the real horse race tests, and do disable animation on the horses when they run? thank you!
As far as commissions go, can I do Commissions for custom horses ( drawing a custom horse for MONEY ) assuming that I don't directly use the template ( So not just filling it in, but rather drawing over it, drawing over it both being something completely different or just following the shape/tracing it)?
Made a custom horse of my character Buddy <3 didnt make a bg layer for this one. These are really easy and fun to make, so I'm planning on making, uh, 8 more. for the bit.
My Rain World inspired maps! I'm trying to put together some lore as the lizards race through the map for my friends, I was wondering if it's possible to add custom tiles? especially for obstacles like the Punchers?
decided to make Nubby from Nubby's Number Factory into a horse. Not the greatest artist, so he's a little scuffed looking, but hopefully somebody gets a kick out of seeing the goober roll around the screen
You likely didn't save the image, or horse in the "custom horses" folder, if its something else you can see the "HOW TO HORSE.txt" or "TROUBLESHOOTING.txt" for more help
this is my son, wob, made to test nothing else more, i made him in like 5 minutes, love him very much(ignore the name of the file) and invisible bg something
i assume it just means "after drawing your horses, save the file as a png, then place them in the customhorses folder" you can make pngs with almost anything, if you dont have a drawing software i recomend paint.NET as it supports transparency out of the gate

Does anyone know how to move the spawns?
When you have the carrot selected, you press the 1-7 number keys while hovering over where you want the spawn of that specific number to be

Use right click for dirt and click for other things (idk how to get rid of grass tho)

Yes you can you only need to create a horse and copy the same pose for each sprite.

hi. this is really cool but i dont exactly understand how to make horses can someone tell me in detail
what i mean is:how to make new sprites and stuff like that for the horses, the HOW TO HORSE thingy doesnt really explain much to me
"
In the customhorses folder, you have two images: customhorsetemplate.png and customhorsetemplateBG.png!
The first one is the drawing on top of everything, the black lines.
The second one is the part you can recolor. (You can ignore this part if you want, and bake in the color in the first image!)
When you have your set done, leave them in the customhorses folder. They must be PNGs!" this part confuses me. where do i do the drawing?
i assume it just means "after drawing your horses, save the file as a png, then place them in the customhorses folder"
you can make pngs with almost anything, if you dont have a drawing software i recomend paint.NET as it supports transparency out of the gate
i will update with my findings in like a hour btw i havent actually used this yet
i can now confirm it is that easy
