July 24 - Character Deletion is in

cute.... no more opening directories and manually delete em.
Now, add a "backup" feature for specific chars and universes ^^

 

Ah, I think I'll do what Kawa suggesteed.
Remember, I only PRETEND to know what I'm talking about.

I've worked with Strings more than hex strings (i.e. never even heard of hex strings), so I'll just scan for the word "Rampaging." I would have to update to get the new names or hexes anyway.

It is really cool to get advice from so many cool people, though.

 

I don't mean to sound like the only one complaining about this so-eagerly-expected feature but, is there any chance they make the Delete button a tad smaller? Being so big increases the chances of a disastrous misclick, and it also partially covers the Difficulty Indicator (Y'know, that part that says ''Normal/Hardcore/PermaDeath'' ).

 

More basic functionality added - big news!
I almost thought Tiy was going to have a 'death animation' upon character deletion.

 

It's quite obviously a work in progress. Because it's in the way of the difficulty indicator.

 

Not to mention that I said in the blog post that it was a work in progress and that it was too big and we're going to fix that.

 

I've only said that thing about reading comprehension a hundred times now.

 

Sweet!

After the new Progression System & Ship Tiers reach Unstable Branch, (What I play) i'll try this option out, delete my Character, re-make him, then test the new Progression & Ship Tiers properly!

 

How dare you, sir!

I'll have you know I'm proud of every man, woman, flower, bird, ape, robot, and fish in that glorious wall of honour that gave their lives pushing the boundaries of space ever further, or just poking around someone else's mutated sentient suicide-bombing excrement... oh, the indignity!


Edit: I just wish they weren't in the way of those who yet draws breath... is there any way to sort our characters that are active so that they are placed at the top of the character roster?

 

Hmmm... Still off topic, but I have ONE more question for you, @OmnipotentEntity.
Is there any possibility that I could be allowed to access the download links for Starbound Stable/Nightly? (not through Steam)
I think if I could, my launcher would exponentially better than it could be otherwise.
I still have to do some research on how I could use said links, so I don't need them yet, but permission to get them in the future would be great.
Thanks in Advance,

You don't have to say it in advance. It already happened.

 

@Type1Ninja

An in the clear download link probably isn't going to happen any time soon. Why do you need one?

 

I know. I'll be sure to do that when I get home. I'm on tapatalk (which you recommended me, remember?).

 

Sorry, I was out and couldn't respond.

I would like the link because with it, my launcher (which is designed to allow players to use the latest stable and nightly) would have a much more streamlined instruction set. Press button, whichever version of Starbound is downloaded and named the right thing, press Play and *Shazam!* you can now choose which version to be playing on. If I can't have this, I can just have the player download the stuffs via steam, but the more human input there is the more room for error.

 

I cry from happiness.

 

too bad there isn't a mini cutscene when you delete a character, seeing its entire reality get deleted.
a lot of nightmare fuel potential there, I'll tell you that.

 

Nice addition! Now I don't have to delete folders manually
