Modding Discussion Novakid Mod Discussion

If you haven't figure it out, your armor shares the same name as the human armor. You would need to go into the file and rename everything.

 

I did, but im still stuck on the loading screen

 

The log is your best friend. Just sayin'

 

Still need help though. debugged everything, and idk whats wrong

Code:

Error: Exception caught in Thread Async root loader: ItemException: Duplicate item name 'humantier1head' found
  005875EA (C:/starbound/source/game/StarItem.hpp:78)
  004DCF87 (C:/starbound/source/game/StarRoot.cpp:163)

Your armor sets look like this:



Make them look like this:



....and add a .modinfo file to this. Why isn't there one already?
How are you even running this thing yourself?

 

Okay, i deleted the humantier1 things, but when startup, it just adds them again.

 

...It, what? It adds files you've deleted back? Why would it do that?
Anyway, you may have skipped a step.

This is novakidtier1.chest

Code:

{
  "itemName" : "humantier1chest",
  "inventoryIcon" : "icons.png:chest",
  "dropCollision" : [-4.0, -3.0, 4.0, 3.0],
  "maxStack" : 1,

. . .

See a problem?

Go through every file and correct the itemName
Oh, and you'll need to change novakid.species, as well:

Code:

{
  "kind" : "novakid",
  "index" : 6,
  "nameGen" : [ "/species/novakidnamegen.config:names", "/species/novakidnamegen.config:names" ],
  "ouchNoises" : [ "/sfx/novakid/novakidhurt1.wav", "/sfx/novakid/novakidhurt2.wav" ],
  "defaultBlueprints" : {
  "tier1" : [
  { "item" : "humantier1hammer" },
  { "item" : "humantier1shortsword" },
  { "item" : "humantier1broadsword" },
  { "item" : "humantier1spear" },
  { "item" : "humantier1axe" },
  { "item" : "humantier1dagger" },
  { "item" : "humantier1head" },
  { "item" : "humantier1chest" },
  { "item" : "humantier1pants" },
  { "item" : "conceptchest" },
  { "item" : "conceptlegs" },
  { "item" : "coolchest" },
  { "item" : "coollegs" },
  { "item" : "sweatervestchest" },
  { "item" : "sweatervestlegs" },
  { "item" : "workoutchest" },
  { "item" : "workoutlegs" },
  { "item" : "burger" },
  { "item" : "vegetablesoup" },
  { "item" : "bread" },
  { "item" : "sweetcorn" },
  { "item" : "candyapple" },

. . .

It's set to use human stuff, not Novakid.

Why are you changing it to using Novakid armor anyway? It's fine using human stuff until you actually have Novakid armor to work with.

 

So, i can leave the armor for novakid empty with no armor?

 

Of course. You don't need to make new armor. The .species file already tells it to use human armor.
Your mod would be drastically improved by the presence of custom armor, but it'd take you a friggin' month to make sprite sheets for a full pack of armor. All those tiers of custom armor......... *shivers*

 

Okay great, you still here? i need help

 

What do you need help with?

 

YESSSSS fixed the crashing bug! charachter config was messy! going to release soon now!

 

You really should start including a .modinfo file so I don't have to make one every time I install a new version this mod. (selfish)

I also recommend packaging this with the Simple Extended Character Creation mod. Because without it you get this:



Whereas with SECC it looks like this:



But I guess it's fine to expect people to set it up

Oh, and the male and female seem to be using the same head?

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. The codex seems to be broken.
At the end of the 4th (and last) text line of novakidsrule.codex is a comma. Remove it.

Haven't made the female character. I'll remove the comma. and udpdate.
where do i download the .modinfo thing and character thing
i can't fix the quest thing, though. Do you think it's funny?

 

I also need help. since im making the body colors, and the default color change is brown. how do i make novakids body change color?
last time i tried it did it to face and neck

 

You don't download a .modinfo, you write it up yourself.
Basically, your \Starbound\mods\ folder should look something like this:
(this is just my own organization, doesn't need to look exactly the same)


Each mod to its own folder, and, inside the folder:



A .modinfo file with the same name as the folder.

The .modinfo tells Starbound how your mod is organized.
For this mod, it's a simple:

Code:

{
  "name" : "Novakid",
  "version" : "Beta v. Offended Koala",
  "path" : "."
}

Just put the SECC image ( http://i.imgur.com/DZR82L3.png ) in \interface\title\
and edit \interface\windowconfig\charcreation.config
you're looking for this bit:

Code:

  {
  "id" : 6,
  "image" : "/interface/title/novakidfemale.png",
  "position" : [208, 0]
  }

Replace the position with that.

 

Okay well i have a .modinfo already, just never uploaded it with it. i will now

 

You can have novakid.treasurepool, doesn't matter really, you just need to know what you named the inside, like NovakidStarterTreasure, then add that to the dropship.structure

 

The mp3 does cause a CTD. Converting to wav still causes CTD. He needs to redo the sounds or just grab them from another race.

 

Ooh, well there we are. I learned something new. Thanks!
