RELEASED Super /sbg/ Race Mod 0.17

Heeello~! I downloaded your mod for my friends to play as your races~ We only recently came to be at the end of the current missions in the Stable/Unstable Version. However... they cannot craft Violium and Co. Armor. I had to craft my own and give it to them haha.. Is it because this is a step that has yet to be done?

 

Blimey, I should work on this more often. Got the mod updated for the most recent nightly, but I had to temporarily cut the Beldehor weapons because weapons seem to currently be fucked in Nightly. Haven't finished the Ichthysian ship, either, but the Barometta have a starting outfit now and I've got some work done on dialog.

Code:

[
    { "op" : "add"
    ,"path" : "/greeting/barometta/default/"
    ,"value" : [
        "Hi there!",
        "Hey there, cutie.",
        "Sal-u-tations!",
        "What's up?",
        "Howdy!"
        ]
    },
    { "op" : "add"

At some point down the line, I figured "yeah, 5 lines per segment is probably reasonable".

As usual, I'll leave the Carodont/Snosti stuff up to carrion, but I'll add any suggestions anyone posts.

mfw I just realized I completely forgot to add the Golgians

 

I do like the mod, mainly for slimepeople (now if I could just find some slimy techs, sorta like the morphball/distortion sphere), but I kinda wish they had..... better heads. I know they're the size and shape they are though because the race's based on the slime set, but it seems odd to me somewhat, alongside the other races.

Also I guess I wish I had a better purple color option, and... well I've seen it elsewhere, maybe it's possible to add a little bit of transparency to the body.

 

Hm...

I decided to make copies of another head and use that to make substitute heads for the slime race in this mod, but of course, the hairstyles that currently exist were made for the original "Slime Mask" head. I'll either have to pick a hairstyle that doesn't leave too big a gap, or readjust the existing ones.



Also I have no idea if someone can download these files and have 'em work as they are as I've never uploaded anything here before. Let's see...

...

...Ah, excellent, it still retains its transparency. Lesson learned.

I should try editing the hairstyles to accomodate this new shape, but I kinda wanna just play Starbound for a bit.

EDIT:
One more adjustment for the heads. I forgot about the facial expressions, they don't look right with big eyes.


It's amusing that they're the exact same image...... which I suppose means I didn't need to upload it twice but whatever. Now to see how it looks for myself.

...

I looked at the other races, and remembered how their eyes are, so I tried it, but... in my personal opinion, even though beady eyes might bug some people, it feels proper when I try out the various default facial expressions. I'll leave it to whoever to adjust it as they see fit. I used GIMP, myself.

HOPEFULLY LAST EDIT:
Bah, I'm getting amused by this now. I decided to edit the head so it keeps its shape, but retains some of the Slime Mask's style. How's this?


I could almost get into doing up sprites... but thinking about a whole set is a bit much.

That'll do it for me tonight. Time to finally play a bit.

 

Hey, I noticed there is an incompatibility issue with the Create-A-Friend mod. There is a super simple fix, as basically you just replace the text in the Player.config patch file in the SBG mod with this. It was just a minor formatting issue.

[

{"op":"add"
,"path":"/species/-"
,"value":"beldehor" },

{"op":"add"
,"path":"/species/-"
,"value":"sheepgrills" },

{"op":"add"
,"path":"/species/-"
,"value":"fishgrills" },

{"op":"add"
,"path":"/species/-"
,"value":"slimegrills" },

{"op":"add"
,"path":"/species/-"
,"value":"snosti" },

{"op":"add"
,"path":"/species/-"

{"op":"add"

{"op":"add"
,"path":"/species/-"
,"value":"bunnygrills" },
{"op":"add"
,"path":"/defaultBlueprints/tier1/-"
,"value":"tailoringtable" }

]

Also, sorry if format is weird, not used to this.​

 

I'm probably not going to release any more fixes for the current version (I've been really busy lately, so I'll probably hold out until the 1.0 launch), and I've already changed that file around in my dev build (so whatever the issue was may already be fixed), but I'll keep that in mind.

 

I actually posted it here so anyone that wants to do both can fix it themselves. I figured it was too minor a thing to message you for just to make a whole fix, and all you need for this solution is to open the file with notepad.

 

I think it's been a week or so since i last messaged Wall of Knowledge about those little edits I was messing with, but when I looked closer at the way my idea of a head edit appeared on the body... it's probably best to leave well enough alone. I'm just picky about the size of the head in some cases.
Not that I want to seem like I have anything to do with this mod. I'm just messing around with things.

Here's hoping 1.0 is closer than we might think so we can see the next update to this mod sooner. It'd be nice for the races to be recognized by NPCs... though of course, the developers deserve all the time they need to get the work done properly. Rushing it does no one any good.

Also still wish I had a better purple color option, something a little more... vibrant,
like the color of liquid Erchius,
or purple crystal blocks.


...I like purple too much lately.


Some little part of me wants to take a stab at an alternative body style for these slimepeople (mainly just the inside appearance), as opposed to just using the slime costume set, but there's nothing wrong with what exists (the chest and leg costume parts are just slime-styled human parts anyway with no shape adjustment), and I've been playing as a Golgian for a while now, no real complaints, just happy to be able to play a slimeperson... although when I run, sometimes it looks like the legs are kinda short, and the rear seems a bit big, hehe... but that's just the way the sprites in Starbound have always been.


OH! Thought just came to mind! I notice you've got invisible chest and leg options for some race options, like the Golgians, but nothing for the head. Why is that? And... do you think you could throw one in, perhaps? Or maybe it exists already somewhere in the modpak and I just haven't looked hard enough.

EDIT:
Maybe Liquid Erchius and purple crystal aren't really good ideas, I dunno, what do you think?

The first color is the purple shade I've been using. I should probably use the second one, but it doesn't feel like it's a deep enough shade to me. Too faded.

I just want something that stands out a bit more than the existing options.
Also that + shape really stands out on the forehead to me, but that's just the result of the hair covering part of the head.

 

Wall of Knowledge updated Super /sbg/ Race Mod with a new update entry:

Starbound 1.0!

Read the rest of this update entry...

----------------------------------------------

Happy Starbound 1.0, fellas!

Anyone conversant in Lua; do you know how I could make the 'nude' status effect work on NPCs? They appear not to have a 'nude' status variable.

 

Can you also host this on the Steam Workshop? If not now, then at least when you finish the mod to your desired level.

 

Eeeeeeeh I'd rather not. Firstly because I've been hearing that Steam Workshop implementation has been really fucky out the gate, and secondly because I'm not a fan of the idea of suddenly having a bunch of people I don't know hassling me over Steam.

If I do set it up on SW I'll post about it here, so if you see someone hosting it before then, let me know because someone nicked it.

 

I'm sure, given the nature and origin of this work. Well, alright. Was just suggesting this based on the convenience it would bring for when we get to make servers, while having members of the server get the right mods installed with the click of the "subscribe" button in SW. Hope CF gets the SW implementation well-tweaked.

 

Wall of Knowledge updated Super /sbg/ Race Mod with a new update entry:

Crisis Averted

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

Whoo, updated already! Can't wait to get this after waiting for the main game to fix the inevitable bugs and temporarily cut/delayed content. (Probably a week or two more)

 

The emotes need tweaking to work with the larger eyes of these races.

Also, I've run into a server host who didn't want to bother with downloading this, since every individual player would have to download it as well, as opposed to the Workshop method. Not a major thing, but unfortunate, since they're missing out, and people seeking a home with this mod may have some trouble.

I hope this kind of thinking doesn't become the norm for server hosts. I only saw one listed server using this, but it uses 40+ mods (which were conveniently in one download marked "current"), and the game auto-closed after the Chucklefish logo. Seems there's some conflicting files. Can't find anything else.

 

Wall of Knowledge updated Super /sbg/ Race Mod with a new update entry:

Crisis ACTUALLY averted and also some other stuff

How would I, say, install the mod into current 1.0 Starbound?

 

Same way as you'd manually install any other mod; just unpack the .zip archive in /Starbound/mods

Make sure you have a character creation screen extender installed, or none of the added races will be selectable.

 

ok

BTW, Patchouli Knowlege, I'm pretty sure that I alone am taking umbrage to the Lunarian's backstory since there are like two other Touhou fans on the site, one of which is gone forever and the other one doesn't know about this.

Seriously, make their backstory educational to those of us with no knowledge of Japanese magi-mythology.
--- Post updated ---
That's weird, when I tried to launch Starbound with this mod, it would not run. Can I have some help here? Should I take the folder one folder down and place THAT in the mods folder?

Mine auto-closes after the little Protectorate emblem at its best.

 

I'm pretty sure you are, and I'm not sure I understand why? I just double-checked the lore I wrote up, and... it doesn't really need any? The Touhou inspiration is a bonus if you get it, but it's still a sci-fi origin in its own right.

Also, the folder heirarchy should be /Starbound/mods/Super SBG Race Mod
If you extracted it into a Super SBG Race Mod0.13b folder, then yes, you should.
