So I fixed it. Note, this makes automatics considerably more powerful (use it with the high-difficulty mode if you want it reasonably balanced).

Note too, this is a core mod. You must add...

I know how to do biome like planet, but there are no information about how to do new asteroid field biome.

My biomes spawn in world, but they have no changes.

Couple of questions:

1. Does this game have an open world level design, where you can wander around? Or is it a linear set of missions that you have to play in a set order?
2. What are the pixel dimensions of each tile?
3. Does the game have thin walls like X-COM, or does every wall take up an entire tile?
4. Does the game take into account line of sight? Can...

I was looking into exporting all of the Halfway files to edit your (Robotality's) assets directly but I don't know how to (I can't find any "objects001.png" or similar or any "/images" folder in any "tools" folder). Am I using the Image processor wrong?

What I wanted to do was... well, use your units, characters, and then just paint on top of them to remain thematic to your art style (That way the campaign/mod or...

I want to exchange the graphics of Morten Lannis with those of Gina Nia. Is this at all possible?

I've tried copying and then renaming the .png:s of Gina Nia in MyMod/particles. This seems futile as I can't also switch out the animation .png:s since I can only find the ones corresponding to Lannis.

Another attempt was made where I simply switched the "unitTypeName": "lannisMorten", for "unitTypeName": "ginaNia".

This had more or less the desired results but...

Read the official announcement for the beta here:

Please note: This is only for people who want to get their hands dirty and help us test the mod tools. The propre release including Steamworkshop support will come soon.

We are looking forward to what you are going to create with the modding tools! ]]> 14 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 18:52:00 +0000 https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/modding-is-here-tell-your-own-story.85664/ https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/modding-is-here-tell-your-own-story.85664/ invalid@example.com (Seminus) Seminus The modding tools are finally here and you can read everything here:

Additionally we released a little bonus for our existing players a "game mode +" which gives the game an extra hard game mode for everyone that thinks the original was too easy.

Enjoy! ]]>
