Setting up new UMA Race
UMA 2.10+ (Atavism 10.5.0+)
This documentation will allow you to create and define a new race for UMA without changing any bone structure or DNA. This configuration will be based on our Ogre Race.
Preparing UMA configuration
Drag Assets/Resources/HumanMale prefab into the scene.
On the Dynamic Character, Avatar set Active Race to OgreMaleDCS, remove old recipes and attach ones that should be associated with the Ogre Race. If the race is not compatible with Expression then remove the Expression Recipe in case of our races they are, so for Ogres, you can keep it.
Change prefab name in the scene to the OgreMale and drag it into the Assets/Resources directory.
Open CharacterSelection scene from directory Assets/Dragonsan/Scenes/(Demo|Core).
Duplicate Human Race Selected game object and rename it accordingly to match our Ogre race, and add Ogre Race Button into the Races list.
On the BodyPanel and HeadPanel game objects on the DNA Slider Panel component, expand DNA List, and on every bone like armLength->Compatible Races add our OgreMaleDCS race name.
On the Slider game object in the DNA Slot component expand Alternatives, and for each Element on the list define Hair by putting pair with Race: OgreMaleDCS, and filename of the hairstyle recipe, in this case, it will be M_Ogre_Hair_Recipe.
Configuration of Atavism Editor
In the Atavism Editor, open the Player Template module and adjust your Character Race accordingly to the screenshot below. You can repeat this step if you want to have multiple classes for your new race.
So, in point 2, you are defining race, if you haven’t got your Ogre race entry yet, you can create it by clicking the blue plus button
and a new form will be displayed
where you can add your race entry, in this case, Ogre, and click the Save button.
Similarly for the class, where you can use predefined ones, or create a new one on-demand using the plus button near the list like with the race, but for now, we will keep it as a Warrior.
Next, we have elements 4 which are the Race icon and the Race Description field that will be displayed in the Character Creation/Selection scene, and the same for element 5 which is related to class icon and description.
Faction defines the stance between other races and mobs. We will set it as Human in this case, but you can set it as you want, as well as you can create it on demand with the plus button.
Element number 7th defines starting instance and its position, which must be of type World, and similarly 8th, but it’s for the respawn instance and its respawn point.
Then we are defining gender, in this case, it’s a male, but you can add more genders with Add Gender button.
So, we have a model/prefab at position 10th that we created before, and it’s OgreMale and an icon on position 11th that will be displayed in the Character Creation/Selection scene.
Adjust your statistics for your Player Template like movement_speed, strength, intelligence, mana, health, etc. The most important are movement_speed which should be higher than 0, health, and health-max they should have the same values for example 1000. At the end click the Save Data button at the bottom of the form and restart the Atavism world server.

Modify scripts
Add these lines after line #452 in the UMADCSPropertyHandler.cs file
case "YourRaceFemaleDCS":
if (umaDCSEquipmentDisplay.DCSYourRaceFemaleRecipe != null)
{
avatar.SetSlot(umaDCSEquipmentDisplay.DCSYourRaceFemaleRecipe);
}
else
{
if (umaDCSEquipmentDisplay.MultiDCSYourRaceFemaleRecipe != null)
foreach (UMAWardrobeRecipe wr in umaDCSEquipmentDisplay.MultiDCSYourRaceFemaleRecipe)
if (wr != null)
avatar.SetSlot(wr);
}
break;So it should look like this
and in the UMAEquipmentDisplay.cs file, you should add one line as on the screen below
