Unfortunately, I haven't seen that problem with my own characters, nor have I heard of other people reporting similar problems.
question. if i wanted to have a custom character other than the races already set for the mass effect mod and such. how would i put all the ship files and stuff onto the custom characters data and such. id wanna start a new character and be able to use the normandy for a different race.
You'll want to modify the custom race mod's player.config.patch file to change the shipworld reference to the Normandy.
How do i do that? like take the ship file out of the custom character and then copy the normandy stuff over?
Ok, so what you want to look for is the universe_server.config.patch file for your custom character mod. In it, if it has a custom ship, you'll see something along the lines of : Code: { "op" : "add", "path" : "/speciesShips/<name of custom species>", "value" : [ "/ships/smee/normandysr1_t0.structure", "/ships/smee/normandysr1_t1.structure", "/ships/smee/normandysr1_t2.structure", "/ships/smee/normandysr1_t3.structure", "/ships/smee/normandysr1_t4.structure", "/ships/smee/normandysr1_t5.structure", "/ships/smee/normandysr1_t6.structure", "/ships/smee/normandysr1_t7.structure", "/ships/smee/normandysr1_t8.structure" ] } If you don't, then add the above to the file (modifying as necessary). If you do, you can either comment the old structure lines or just replace them with the lines I pasted above. You'll need to start a new character in order to see the changes, and be mindful of commas (standard JSON parsing issues).
Are you starting a new character with one of the SMEE races? If you don't have a mod for extending the character selection screen for custom races, you'll need one of those, too.
How does one go about acquiring the codexes'? No matter what I do I cant complete the two missions where you need to get the codexes', so I was hoping for some help on this matter, Thank you.
That might have gotten lost in the update to the new version of Starbound. Not sure when we'll be updating, and sadly codexes won't be high on the priority list.
That's unfortunate but i can see you are tasked with higher priority items so it is understandable that this may take a while, thank you for taking the time to respond. Best of wishes to the people developing my favorite mod.
There's a mass effect mod set for garrysmod you should look at, it adds tons of the games furniture and even makes their bunker like colonies possible. If you need someone to help sprite the stuff I'd be willing to install what I would need to make this possible, then you could add whole advanced decor sets. While the avali SORT of have a similar style the N7 props in game would be a lot of fun.
Batteh : whatever quality sprites you create for the mod, I'll gladly include in the next update and give you appropriate credit.
