Post Dollmaker Scripts and Resources Sticky

I am looking for more dollmaker scripts, bases, and other things to add to the page! Godot, Unity, Gamemaker, just code (like my own JS), etc! All kinds are welcome also. 

THE ONLY THING is that IT MUST BE ABLE TO BE SELF HOSTED (including being hosted on Itchio). By that I mean: It can not be an external doll site like Picrew or it's other equivalents. 

The one I have on my website uses this script:

https://github.com/ninique/Dollmaker-Script

It won't work out of the box, though, since it needs a few older script functions removed. Once those are fixed it works fine.

Oh yeah haha I actually have a version of this script that works out of the box on the page!! It's the Ophagirl dollmaker script!!! It's a fork of Ninique's actually cx

https://ophanimkei.com/you/tools/dollmaker/

Sooo my favorite option is kind of defunct since the creator, Lampy, took down the itch page and no longer provides support for their programs, but MousePSD has been kind of a life saver for me since you can just pop a photoshop file into it and get a working dressup game! It can be a little bit finicky due to the nature of PSD files but it can export for html5 as well as .exe files.

There is an archived version of the original itch.io page here, which contains instructions on how the program works + readable comments in case you happen to need to troubleshoot one of the couple of issues or have a question that people have asked about there. However, since Lampy took down the itch.io download  (what I gather is they got tired of people asking support questions and just took down all the pages), the download isn't available there.

But! From what I understand of the license (included as a .txt file in the program download), distributing your own forks of the program is completely fine so long as the license file remains in tact, and someone has reuploaded it packaged to archive.org so it can be downloaded there and run once you unzip the file!  Should work right out of the box as long as you have a .PSD file set up according to the right structure as listed on the page.


I am not an expert but I have downloaded this copy and it functions the same as the one I downloaded directly from Lampy's itch.io in 2023 and it did not explode my computer--an extra virus scan can never hurt lol but I haven't found anything fishy w this upload.

Hope that's not all too long, and to state clearly, I'm not affiliated with lampysprites or the archive.org uploader, I just deeply appreciate what this program can do and its been a total lifesaver for me--will likely be what I use for the jam if I don't go a different route with an old WIP project made in Clickteam Fusion lol! There's a demo on the original archived itch page, and not to plug my own stuff but I have examples here and here of things I made with MousePSD. (Second one has music, watch out LOL) and just wanna say btw, thank you so much for hosting this jam!! If you can't tell, I'm passionate about dollmakers and it just breaks my heart that they're not so common and accessible like they used to be. Putting together the effort for a movement to make more and make that more approachable people is super cool of you to do  ^_^

Host

Omg thank you! I actually saw this around when I was going through the dollmaker tags but saw the page had gone down and was unsure of where to find it!! You posting this is very fantastic aaa especially since it makes things so easy!! The very large dollmaker in the second is very appealing!! I think I want to give a try using this. Thank you so much!!!!

I'm also happy to see someone else passionate about dollmakers T_T

ahh yay!! ^_^ I'm glad I could help make that accessible, and I'm rly excited to see what comes out of it with all these tools being available!! And hyped to see what you might end up making with it! :3

I am still looking into good resources for Godot but so far these two videos have probably been the most useful:

this one is a little bit dated and some of the code doesn't work in the current version of Godot, but folks in the comments have some good suggestions for fixes - helped me with figuring out how to set up a system to cycle through different options and load in the textures for each sprite correctly.

this I found useful for assigning colours to specific parts of the doll - the first part of this series mostly goes over how to break up sprites into different pieces and how to animate them consecutively, which isn't as relevant for a doll maker

I am extremely new to Godot so there's probably more stuff out there I'm not aware of, but I think this is a good starting point at least!
Host

Wow these are awesome!! Tysm !!! This gives me really good starting point if I try to use Godot. I am thinking I may end up trying to work with these as I have fallen in love with Godot in recent times and this will hopefully get me more into it!! Super appreciates!! I'll add these to the tutorials section!
