How to make a mod that edits Vanilla Characters?

How do I make a mod that changes things for Vanilla Characters, like this?

to edit a vanilla character you have to make a P_SKIN lump.
I normally do this by copy pasting an S_SKIN file from one of my other mods and renaming it to P_SKIN.

below’s an example of a P_SKIN that makes sonic’s color in single player ruby, doesn’t make him spin when he jumps, and makes his ability the double jump.

name = sonic
flags = SF_SUPER|SF_NOJUMPSPIN
prefcolor = ruby
ability1 = CA_DOUBLEJUMP

and you can make custom things that apply to characters.

Did you make this in Slade?
If so, how did you find a S_SKIN file?

The S_SKIN for the vanilla characters can be seen in player.dta.

Wait, what's "
TagTextColor = SKINCOLOR_BLUE
TagOutlineColor = SKINCOLOR_YELLOW
OppositeColor = SKINCOLOR_SKY
"?

 

[Cheeseboi!]

TagTextColor = SKINCOLOR_BLUE
TagOutlineColor = SKINCOLOR_YELLOW
OppositeColor = SKINCOLOR_SKY

if you don't want to edit the character select screen, don't change that.

So, it changes the colors on the selection screen?

Isn't that in the SOC file?

That's from the player.dta file.

So, you copy and paste the code into Slade, correct?
