Is it possible to add another shirt or pants for a specific race? I wanted to have an Apex npc to spawn with glitch clothing without using Create-a-friend mod. "genders" : [ { "name" : "male", "image" : "/interface/title/male.png", "characterImage" : "/interface/title/sapemale.png", "hairGroup" : "hairmale", "hair" : [ "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16", "17", "18", "19", "20" ], "shirt" : [ "apexcommanderjacket", "apexnavyjacket", "apexofficerjacket", "apexspecialistjacket", "protectorateshirtchest", "protectoratevestchest" ], "pants" : [ "apexcommanderpants", "apexnavypants", "apexofficerpants", "apexspecialistpants" ], "facialHairGroup" : "beardmale", "facialHair" : [ "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16", "17", "18", "19", "20" ], "facialMaskGroup" : "", "facialMask" : [ ] }, { "name" : "female", "image" : "/interface/title/female.png", "characterImage" : "/interface/title/sapefemale.png", "hairGroup" : "hairfemale", "hair" : [ "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16", "17", "18", "19", "20" ], "shirt" : [ "apexcommanderjacket", "apexnavyjacket", "apexofficerjacket", "apexspecialistjacket", "protectorateshirtchest", "protectoratevestchest" ], "pants" : [ "apexcommanderpants", "apexnavypants", "apexofficerpants", "apexspecialistpants" ], "facialHairGroup" : "beardfemale", "facialHair" : [ "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13", "14", "15" ], "facialMaskGroup" : "", "facialMask" : [ ] } ], This is the part of a code from apex.species in my unpacked assets, the shirt and pants are highlighted in red for both genders, I'm not sure if this is for character creation only, or if it also affects what the entire race is wearing as well. So I am wondering is it possible to add more shirts and pants to "shirt:" and "pants:", making any newly spawned apex have a chance in wearing the clothing I added to the code? Sorry if I am not being specific enough.
if you look at any mod that adds clothing to vanilla races, u'll see that they just add it to the list
So I take it as a yes. But I don't know how to unpack mods, so can you give me an example on how to just add it to the list?
The apex.species.patch would look like Code: [ {"op": "add", "path": "/genders/0/shirt/-", "value":"apexspecialistjacket"}, {"op": "add", "path": "/genders/0/pants/-", "value":"apexspecialistpants"}, {"op": "add", "path": "/genders/1/shirt/-", "value":"apexspecialistjacket"}, {"op": "add", "path": "/genders/1/pants/-", "value":"apexspecialistpants"} ] Unpacking mods is done the same way as unpacking assets.
I tried this Code: [ {"op": "add", "path": "/genders/0/shirt/-", "value":"floranfurnivourchest"} ] But it did not add the Floran shirt to the apex during character creation. What am I doing wrong? Does it have to be in a specific file, because I only made one called "add patches" and put the code in there alone?
I found out how to unpack mods, but it did not help me figure out how to add clothes. The mod uses a similar structure for its code, but when I tweaked it it still did not work, how do you people do this?
These Mod should all contain at least one .patch file whic contains all the patches made to the specific file (In your case it would be the apex.species.patch file) It has to be a json patch file witch matching structure, internet tools are often quite good in finding mistakes in those files. Also when you add custom clothing , make sure, that your clothing items are working and all names are spelled correctly. For figuring out all these problems the output log is a very place to start !

Code: [ {"op": "add", "path": "/genders/0/shirt/-", "value":"kimonochest"}, {"op": "add", "path": "/genders/0/pants/-", "value":"kimonolegs"}, {"op": "add", "path": "/genders/1/shirt/-", "value":"kimonochest"}, {"op": "add", "path": "/genders/1/pants/-", "value":"kimonolegs"} ] Here is a more recent version of my attempt, I am using notepad++, the file name is apex.species.patch I used both Jsonlint, and Json parser, both of which confirmed that this code is valid. I assume that an output log is a small pop-up when your game crashes and shows and error, if so I did not receive any error messages. The game did not crash or anything, I just wanted to add default clothing to the apex but this did nothing, nothing changed. So it might not be the code, but either the location of it, or I am just missing more content that goes with this such as a picture or something. This is where I placed the patch file at...(I wish I could take a screenshot instead believe me ) ThisPC > Documents > Combiner's Toybox > Starbound Modding > mods > test mod > patch > species I don't have anything else in the species folder except the patch file, so I do hope this at least clarified the situation.
Okay it seems to be a valid patch indeed... Your Log file isn't a window, it is just a file (thats why i called it file) the file i located in the Folder .../starbound/storage It should be called log.txt, if you have more than one file called log , take the last modified one,if it matches your current time it should be the actual log. Alternatively there ist a file in your Starbound64 folder called stoudt.txt (or something like this) , I haven't figured out yet whether its real log file or just another unused file from older versions... When you found it please make a post with the full log in it Based on personal experience, not on knowledge i think it should not make any difference where the location of the patch is because the game is going to load it anyway...
I believe I found the error in the log you've mentioned, but I am going to post the whole thing with it anyways. Full log: Code: [16:23:45.940] [Info] Root: Preparing Root...

Yes, your patch file needs to be in the same "folder" architecture as the file it's patching things in is, in order for the game to use it. For example here, in order to patch /species/apex.species from the assets, your patch will have to be, in your mod's folder, in a (otherwise empty) species folder: at /species/apex.species.patch. If you were trying to patch the stonebed.object in /objects/biome/alpine/stonebed/stonebed.object, your patch file should be, in your mod, in the folders /objects/biome/alpine/stonebed/stonebed.object.patch An error in the logs about patches would look like "failed to apply patch X"
