Outdated The Amorybound Wars 0.5.3

Unfortunately, I will not be working on this modification anymore. I apologize for any inconvenience this may be to you. I give full permission to any mod author willing to pick this modification up; you may add, change, subtract and modify the files in any way you please. The only thing I ask is that if anybody wishes to take over this modification and upload it, that you kindly credit me somewhere on the mod page.

Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience this may be to anyone.

Here is the old mod page description, if it is still needed in any way or form:

INTRODUCTION
===============================================================================

Starbound meets The Amory Wars (a graphical novel series by Claudio Sanchez)! This mod includes useful back items themed with The Amory Wars story. If you're interested in what the story is about, you can check out a link here (TLDR included).​

INSTALLATION
===============================================================================

Unzip the downloaded .zip file, and place the folder in your .\Starbound\giraffe_storage\mods\ directory. If you have a previous version of the mod installed already, please delete the previous version to prevent conflicts and errors.

Before you install this mod (including using a updated version), it may be a good idea to backup your character saves (if you're unaware as to how to backup your character saves, you can read a guide here).​

UNINSTALLATION
===============================================================================

If you want to uninstall the mod, please remove all items related to the mod from your characters. This includes all items related to the mod from your equip, inventory, hot bar, and storage. After that, simply delete the folder from your mods directory, and you're done.

If you don't remove all the items and delete the folder, your character won't be deleted, but you won't be able to access your characters that have any of the mod items left behind (a simple fix would be to reinstall the mod, delete the remaining items, and then delete the folder for this mod).​

COMPATIBILITY
===============================================================================

This mod uses it's own assets (excluding certain crafting ingredients and certain crafting station interface graphics), so it should be compatible with all mods.

This mod also uses custom lighting effects for a bigger glow radius, so if you're using a using a mod that alters the way lighting works (specifically spreadMaxObstacle), it may conflict with each other. To fix this, simply delete the lighting.config.patch file located in this mod's base file directory, and you should be set.

Going online with this modification won't cause any crashes. However, due to the custom buffs, you will be invisible to anybody else online that does not have this mod installed. To become visible to those people, simply unequip any Emblem before you go online (special thanks to Rider91 for finding this out).​

MOD CUSTOMIZATION
===============================================================================

As of v0.5.3, the guide is outdated. Due to time constraints, I won't be updating the guide anymore. I greatly apologize for any inconvenience this may to be of anyone.

Please note that because the guide is indeed outdated, the current values are quite different from previous versions. The good news is that the legend still holds true for some files, and you'll still be able to edit the files to how you want them (going based on the old file names).

The transparent particle files listed in the guide still affect version 0.5.3 and up correctly (excluding non animated emblems and a new rage buff effect [listed below]), so if you prefer to still use these files, you're more than welcome to. The link to the mod customization guide is right here.

• Non animated Emblems for v0.5.3 (and upwards).
• Transparent skulls for the "Rage" buff for v0.5.3 (and upwards).
• Transparent sparkles for the "Glow" buff (all versions).
• Transparent flames for the "Run Boost" buff (all versions).
• Transparent healing effects for the "Health Regeneration" buff (all versions).

​

To install, simply place the folder in .\Starbound\giraffe_storage\mods\The Amorybound Wars vX.X.X\ directory and replace the files it asks you to overwrite with.​

CRAFTING STATION
===============================================================================

A seemingly ordinary book on a stand. It is far from logical, but you are able to craft Emblem from this book, using the power of creativity. You can craft The Writer's Book through the default crafting interface, the default hotkey for this is the 'C' key.

• The Writer's Book
  • Items Needed To Craft:
    • 50 Wood Planks

​

BOTTLED LIQUIDS
===============================================================================

The Emblems are able to adapt to the properties of these liquids, providing resistance. Higher tiers of Emblems will automatically adapt to certain liquids permanently.

    • 20 Pixels
    • 10 Oil
    • 1 Empty Bottle

​

EMBLEM BASES
===============================================================================

Each Emblem need a Emblem Base to exist, you can craft these Emblem Bases within The Writer's Book. Each tier of Emblem requires the corresponding Emblem Base tier.

​

EMBLEMS
===============================================================================

(Old versions [balanced/original] of the emblems still available here.)
(Alternative balanced version by Findanother1 available here.)

• Legacy Emblem
  • An Emblem that has lost all of its power. Some say this is because the Emblems borrow power from stars all over the universe, and once those specific stars die out, the specific Emblem will cease to function. If you had any characters with any Emblem equipped (or stored away somewhere) before version 0.5.3, you will find these in place of your old Emblems.
