You might be asking about the Hero Printer and yes, you can!

The Char Workshop is just a bundle of sprites - sprites now integrated to the Hero Printer, which is an actual tool for building characters - that the buyer must piece together themselves. The Printer also includes the sprites contained on the Face Workshop. Both the Workshops are considered obsolete if you wish for a character builder with access to both their assets combined, plus an easy to use tool. I just kept those workshops online for people who are still willing to get only the sprites for one or another.

I just purchased your program, but I was wondering if there is a guide available on importing custom parts? Thank you. The readme is not opening for me. Maybe you can email it to me? edwindiaz060589@gmail.com

The Hero Printer, right? There is a file named NEWASSETS.txt inside the ZIP, it describes the whole process with an example. It is nothing too hard, just requires replacing/adding a couple of files on the right folders and reloading the tool :)

EDIT: Let me know if you run into any difficulties after giving it a read and trying it out.

Thank you. So you must create a version for both 3F and 6F or it won't show up?

Well, only if you really need both of those. If you are going just for one of them, it is alright to create either just 3f or 6f, the terminal will tell you there is a missing file, but it will still work!

Okay. I might br doing something wrong then :( i tried to make a copy of hat for example and named it 07 if the other one was 06. I even tried the new_hat or something along those lines. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm sorry for thr constant messages. Also am I able to add custom skin as long as it's 48×48 max? Thank you again.

Oh! There is one thing you can try.

I am assuming you are doing only the 3f version, right? Place an empty file, with the same name as your new hat on 3f, under assets/charsets/6f/hat. It always lookup at 6f first and builds the list from there, there is just no need to have anything on that file, it just has to be there, even if it is a blank PNG.

And yup for the skins. Remember that, if you are also doing facesets there are some extra steps to get everything right for the facesets as well!

EDIT: Keep in mind that the 6f being verified first is also true for skins, so if you are doing only 3f, remember to create an empty file on 6f as well, with the same name as your skin on 3f.
