Outdated Avali Race Mod 0.12.4

Out of curiosity, is anyone (Ryujin or otherwise) interested in making some sort of Avali compatibility for madtulip? Starting with avian stuff on an avian ship be weird, yo.

 

Strangely, mad tulips' ship mod gives avali an "avali" ship

Whereas the other races simply give players a human ship, the Avali have their own folder and ship world file which is a duplicate of the avian ship, I suspect he intended to give them their proper starter gear but for some reason changed his mind.

 

I'm curious, does anyone think the Avali will ever be officially implemented into the game?

 

Almost certainly not

 

On the other hand, they can't exactly claim the novakids as a stretch goal anymore...

*shrug* Silliness abounds.

 

If cloning is illegal by the Avali's laws, how would you explain the respawn mechanics? For every other race, it seems there's a clone made of your character... I get the feeling for the Avali it's less "whoops, you died and now you need a new body" and more "whoops, you nearly died but it's a good thign you have those handy-dandy implants to yank you back to the ship, right?"

 

the novakid and their lore fit the general theme. the avali lore is far more detailed to the point that, in my opinion, the lore of the other races is akin to fingerpainting by comparison.


its all good lore.

they are just different. Theme-wise I mean.

 

They... definitely can. Novakid will eventually be implemented in the core game. They're also, you know... humanoid, whereas the avali aren't.

 

Are you sure you aren't looking at a download from a modpack, I know there's a few unofficial and poorly distributed avali patches (I made one with apex tilesets).

 

You sure do like second-guessing literally everybody, don'tcha? ;P

 

ah, so that's how big they are to humans. to be honest, I truly adore just how small, yet clever they can be. just goes to show you, size really does not matter. it how you use your size that counts.

 

I'm just saying there's a possibility, there's an incredibly small chance he may be looking at the one from the modpack for the private server, better safe than sorry.

 

Not that, I meant the whole 'there's already a mod for it' thing. :v

 

...and? Doesn't change that they'll be added to vanilla as promised.

 

Yeah, but a stretch goal implies that it's a stretch and actually takes significant work.

...know what, forget about it. It was a silly post to begin with.

 

Sorta speaking of lore - what are the odds of item investigation dialog getting customised for Avali as time goes on? It's honestly one of the most jarring things for me when playing a custom race, that anything which isn't specifically theirs tends to go right to human item descriptions.

(And I don't even like the human descriptions. The other races paint a picture of their culture, kind of in reverse, by how they look at items. Humans just make a bunch of quips that I quickly find growing stale.)

 

Well, I wouldn't imagine examine info is incredibly difficult to add, but it's almost certainly time consuming and low-priority.

I'm sure it'll eventually happen, but don't hold your breath.

 

Hey, Ryuujin? Can we get some ship art? I'm curious as to how the rest of the fleet looks

 

He already said this was planned but it's currently low priority.

Also low priority, he's busy working on making the weapons go up to all the tiers instead of just 4 because that's a much more pertinent issue.

 

I love how you second guess me when i make a statement about modding (Something I think i know a thing or two about) telling me I'm probably wrong, and then you speak for me on another topic.

As it happens i plan on drawing up ship art in the next day or two, simply because it's becoming increasingly important for fleshing out the wiki. While low importance for the mod, for the wiki/race development it's becomign increasingly rpessing

It'll be a thing eventually, just not at this time. I'll be addressing the melee weapons and guns first, and adding a few more props.

You even think i've even downloaded your mod pack? - i have to keep my installation very clean and carefully tracked to ensure no cross-contamination. If I just unzipepd the mod pack into my game for exmaple, I'd over-write my current build
