Short description

This PR aims to add additional markings to vox.

Why we need to add this

As vox are now, they severely lack customization, especially compared to other servers. You are not able to color their limbs or beak, for example. This PR changes that.

📝 Summary

Summary

Adds 16 Vox and NeoVox customization markings.

  • Adds colorable beak variants, hands, feet, arms, and legs.
  • Adds feathered left and right leg markings.
  • Adds VoxShaggyTail and VoxPlumage.
  • Adds per-state copyright attribution in meta.json.
  • Adds English localization for all new markings.
  • Enables players to customize more Vox body parts and tail features in the character editor.

Notable file changes

  • Adds marking prototypes in Resources/Prototypes/_Starlight/Entities/Mobs/Customization/Marking/vox.yml.
  • Updates Vox sprite-state metadata in Resources/Textures/_Starlight/Mobs/Customization/vox.rsi/meta.json.
  • Adds marking names in Resources/Locale/en-US/_Starlight/markings/vox.ftl.

Gameplay and user impact

Players can select additional Vox markings for beaks, limbs, feathered legs, and tails. The markings appear in the character editor with localized names and use the corresponding Vox sprite states.

Risk areas

  • Each marking must match the correct body part, sprite state, direction count, and layer order.
  • Shared sprite states between related markings must remain intentional.
  • Incorrect localization identifiers can leave markings unnamed in the editor.
  • Incorrect copyright attribution can violate asset licensing requirements.

Guideline gaps

  • The PR context does not state why the new markings belong in the Starlight namespace.
  • The PR context does not include Starlight ownership comments.
  • The PR context does not identify whether Shared-first placement review was completed.
  • The PR context does not state whether the added markings create breaking changes.
  • The PR context does not describe the design rationale for the new colorable body parts and tails.

Walkthrough

Added 16 Vox and NeoVox marking prototypes for beaks, limbs, feathered legs, tails, and plumage. Added English labels and per-state copyright attribution for the corresponding sprite states.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 97226

The PR adds new Vox customization options, but the current version still has missing readable labels and localization identifiers that do not follow repository naming rules. These issues can make the customization picker confusing or incomplete, so follow-up is needed before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Replace the copied prototype YAML with localization entries.

Existing Vox localization in Resources/Locale/en-US/markings/vox.ftl:22-32 uses base and state-specific Fluent keys. This file contains only type: marking YAML, so it defines no labels for the new marking IDs. The picker can therefore display unresolved internal identifiers. Replace this file with a supported .ftl file and add the required keys for all 16 markings.

As per path instructions, player-facing text must not expose prototype IDs.

Align voxfeatheredfeet with a marking definition.

The state and PNG have no repository-wide marking reference, while the other 16 states are referenced by vox.yml. Remove both files if unused; otherwise add the matching marking prototype and localization.

Sprites approved, but be sure to use 'State based copyright'. Even if you're the only person with textures in a meta.json now, you might not always be.

Use lowercase kebab-case for the Fluent IDs.

The IDs on Line 1 and Line 2, such as marking-VoxBeakColor, contain uppercase letters and concatenated words. Apply the same conversion to every ID in this file. Update the corresponding marking lookup contract together so labels continue to resolve.

As per path instructions, localization IDs must use kebab-case and must not contain capital letters.

Only now do i realize what state based copyright is, the copyright for the vox body and beaks is a bit long but i'll put it in.
