Benjamin (New Update)

Benjamin the Lepules
(2.1.1) (June 10th, 2021)
Over a year after its initial release, I'm finally releasing a visual update! (First release was March 4th, 2019)
Supports MIM (Mod In Menu) https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2415978456

Custom character and personal project of mine.
---------------------------------------------------------------
* Grows a mane. (Or you can switch back to his goatee in config.)
- Grows after 1/3/4 days and drops 1/2/4 Beard Hairs. (Can be configured to Beefalo wool, or Fur Tufts as well.)
(Beard sometimes disconnects during certain animations, This is known.)
* Slightly Insulated
* Needs glasses
- Constantly loses sanity without his glasses. (Because he can't see!)
* Speed-walker
* Weak Sanity Aura (Only works on others, Other players with the same character are unaffected)

Deals only 90% physical damage.
Gets hungry 20% slower.

-----------------
Health : 125
Hunger : 150
Sanity : 175
-----------------

This character's gimmick is his Glasses. They come in a variety of forms.
His default glasses are Bottom Rimmed glasses. But you can switch to the classic Thick Rimmed glasses in the config.


Glasses are equipped in the helmet slot and will break after taking a certain amount of damage. Upon breaking they'll drop "Broken Glasses" which can be used to re-craft his Glasses.

Glasses - (Survival)

(Default craft cost)
This is effectively 'repairing' the glasses.

His Glasses can be used to craft a couple other helmets :

Lensed Helmet - (Combat Tab)

(Default craft cost)
As protective as the normal Football helmet, but cancels out his natural sanity loss like his glasses would.
Upon breaking it'll drop Broken Glasses.

Cool Shades - (Dress Tab)

(Default craft cost)
Despite the fact that they're basically just sunglasses, They provide a pretty cool cooling effect during the summer.
Upon breaking it'll drop Broken Glasses.

Toasty Hat - (Dress Tab)

(Default craft cost)
Keeps you warm during the winter, While still providing all beneficial effects from wearing normal glasses.
Upon breaking it'll drop Broken Glasses.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Thulecite Shades - (Ancient Tab)

(Default craft cost)
Similar to the Thulecite crown, But with less durability.
The forcefield lasts five seconds instead of four, and the cooldown is ten seconds instead of nine.
They don't cancel out his natural sanity loss completely.
Upon breaking it'll drop Broken Glasses.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

In order to get more than one pair of glasses you must craft his normal Glasses through the Prestihatitator.
Glasses - (Magic)

(Default craft cost)

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

The difficulty of these crafting recipes can be changed in the configuration for the mod.

All forms of his glasses (besides the broken ones) will also cancel out dusk/night's increased sanity loss.

NOTE : I HAVE NEVER MODDED DON'T STARVE BEFORE, WHILE EVERYTHING SEEMINGLY WORKS FINE AS IS PLEASE BE AWARE THERE MAY BE BUGS I HAVEN'T FOUND. IF FOUND PLEASE LET ME NOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
Thanks =p

I did check most hats that cover the top of the head to make sure his head doesn't clip TOO much. There's one or two where a tiny bit does when facing sideways however.

2ND NOTE : The way his ears when facing sideways work is they use "hair-front". The issue with this is it doesn't get hidden when wearing hats that cover the top of his head. This is remedied, of course. However any mod hats that cover his head aren't currently supported. If you have a hat mod you'd like me to add support to, feel free to request it.

Current mod-hat support :
Glommer hat

3RD NOTE : This update goes pretty deep into the code at points. It's been running fine for me but that doesn't mean it's perfect. If you run into problems, report it in the 2.0 Bug Report discussion thread!
