Outdated 03-K64 - 'Firefly' EK - 1.2

" Midbulk transport, standard radion-accelerator core, classcode 03-K64 - 'Firefly'. "

"... You don't see the whole. The parts are crap, but you put it together you got a Firefly. Thing'll run forever they got a mechanic even half awake... Some people ain't lookin' for flash. She's a good catch."

Firstly to clear one thing I know a lot of hardcore fans will be annoyed about, yes the engine is in the wrong place. I was working off this image and mistook the Main Reactor for the Radion-accelerator core. There are also a few more discrepancies and cupboards/rooms left out.

This is my first attempt at modding and (aside from a few Minecraft skins) my first attempt at pixel art.

This project was started a while ago (15th Dec according to the files). Everything seems to have got in the way of it since then . I did most of it in between studying for and doing my Uni exams. After that I had to go back to my parents house for Christmas, which involved *shudder* socialising. Then I had a bit of a creative block (when I posted this). After that cousins came round for New Year. Since then I finished it (was mainly interiors needed doing at that point).

Ifrix's Firefly - v1.2
Starbound version Enraged Koala

(instructions borrowed from DeadSquirrel's Firefly shipmod)

=INSTALLATION=
1) Unzip contents into Starbound/mods/
2) Create a new Human character

=NON-HUMAN RACES=
The ship files work for other races too! Just rename the ships/human folder to the race of your choice.
But! The Ship Chest will contain Human starter items. To fix:
1) Inside the mod folder, open dropship.structure with a text editor.
2) Search for the line:
"treasurePools" : [ "humanStarterTreasure" ]
3) Replace "humanStarterTreasure" with your race. ("avianStarterTreasure", "apexStarterTreasure", "floranStarterTreasure", "glitchStarterTreasure", "hylotlStarterTreasure")

=USING THE SHIP ON AN EXISTING CHARACTER=
Ok! So ... to use an existing character on pc:
1) We need to find the existing character's codename.

• Load up the existing character in-game, then exit Starbound. (This way the existing character's files are the most recently saved)
• Open Starbound/player/ in explorer and arrange the files by date. The most recently edited one should represent your character.
• You should see sets-of-3 files with the same name, but different type: xxx.metadata, xxx.player, xxx.shipworld. Where "xxx" is an identical string of numbers and letters.
• Make a BACKUP of these files. If something goes wrong, you can always paste the old files back.

2) From here we have two options:
A ) Human character: You can delete the .shipworld (Or cut and paste it somewhere safe). Starbound will automatically make that character a new ship from the startership files. Remember to move all the loot on your old ship into your inventory or onto a planet first. You can always replace the old .shipworld if you want your old ship back. (You did remember a backup, right?)
B ) Non-human character:

• Make a new Human character. Load the dummy-human in-game.
• Now go back to the main menu. Load your existing character. Exit Starbound.
• Open Starbound/player/ in explorer and arrange the files by date. The first 3-file-set is your existing character, the second set is the dummy-human with the ship you want.
• Copy the first character's shipworld codename ("xxx.shipworld"), then delete the file. Now rename the dummy-human's shipworld with the codename you copied.

• Keep up to date with Starbound versions
• Take suggestions for changes
  
• Make at least one variant of the ship
• Animate engine?
