I did a quick search and it seemed like no one was trying this out or had any issues, so sorry if I missed a thread where this was already explained. I wanted to start learning how to mod Starbound and my first instinct was to create a new Replicator addon that can house all of my late-gear weapons and armor (it only makes sense). I managed to get my addon item in-game, craftable from Inventor's Table tier 3, but when I add it onto the replicator itself, it doesn't initiate the connection animation and stays in an idle state. When I try to use the new replicator it defaults to the non-addon interface with no new recipes or color change. I'm not sure if anyone's tried this before, but at least it attaches to the replicator, now my next step is figuring out how to actually activate it. anyone know how?
I copied the entire anvil directory in objects/crafting/upgradeablecraftingobjects/craftinganvil into my mod and changed the files so that anywhere it says Separator, Accelerator, and Manipulator, it would also say my addon, and in the addons folder I copied the accelerator folder and renamed stuff. Hope this helps, and I can try to go more in detail if necessary, and sorry for doing this instead of patching.
No no, this is great. You see I thought I was going to be left in the dark about this, cause I REALLY want to learn how to make a Replicator add-on. Making new crafting benches seem to be childs-play and I don't see anyone with a replicator add-on in their mods so I kinda want to be the first. Have you got it working? I already copied and edited all of the CraftingAnvil3 files I could find, and created my new Add-on with custom colors and sprites. The Add-On attaches, but it doesn't activate and It doesn't allow me to craft anything from a new crafting table (It still says Replicator in the crafting menu). Am I missing any files I should know about? (I have Recipe too)
i'm.. 100% interested in this. that little fire thing reminded me of magic - maybe this can also be made into a magic separator addon thing xD and even better: to make a module for all of the main tier3 crafting tables o.o
If you've never seen or heard of Runeterra, its the home world of League of Legends. I want to create a mod that ports weapons from League of Legends into Starbound. My first one is Nami's Staff, and the assets for it and everything are already done, I just ran into an issue with the main attack saying "<elementalName>" instead of Ice. The Fire was a place-holder image acting like a use-all for every weapon I'm going to make But it does look magical. Glad you liked it, and Honestly im hoping we can get a Dev in here or something to shed some light, because I've ran out of options in trying to figure out what is going wrong and why my add-on won't activate.
i've only ever played LoL once xD people were very unfriendly and mean, so i left idea seems solid though ^^ hey, do you by any chance have any idea why my container mod isn't showing up when i put it onto the wall, despite the fact that it works? lol it's friggin invisible.. and i can't figure out why Dx
Ill go ahead and give my thoughts, but next time, try not to use someone else's post to ask questions about your own issues. Not only is it rude, but it tends to lead off-track and the OP may never get their issue resolved. I've only started modding yesterday and by what it sounds like, you seem to be lacking a wall-mounted image to be displayed when it is anchored into the background. Such as when torches are on the ground or the wall, they have two sprites. If you have a wall-mounted .png sprite, then im not sure what the issue would be. maybe recheck the coding. Try copying some code from torches into your container mod or even the ship-containers for each race you get in late-game and see what looks similar, and what isn't.
hah sorry xD wasn't really thinking at the time ^^;; didn't mean to be rude or derail anything heh just.. this gave me a huge headache trying to figure out >.< copied code from all over the place - even made it one-handed lol i'll keep looking i guess will look forward to your mod being fixed =x will you be adding it to steam when it's done?
Haha, Maybe. If I can learn how to add it to steam. Hopefully by then ill have figured all this add-on nonsense out and have 10+ weapons ready.
Yes, I have it 100% working. You have to edit the craftinganvil.object on several places. If you find a place where it says any of the names of the vanilla addons (I used Accelerator), copy the whole part of code for that addon and paste it just below. If it says something about filters, change the filter from "craftingaccelerator" (or the one similar to it) to whatever your addon's crafting filter is. You will also need to change the file "craftinganvil3.png" if you want the replicator to turn an entire color when you place the addon. You don't have to do this (I didn't) but it makes it look better. I recommend for editing text files WordPad if you don't want to download something or Notepad ++ if you're fine with downloading. For the image editor, you just have to get one that supports transparency, (paint.net, gimp, photoshop, etc) so no paint. These are the places you have to change or add in craftinganvil.object. (With the names of your things, of course. Synthesizer is the name of mine.) I'm not sure if this is all you need, so tell me if you need more.
As you can see, I have all of the files I could find that relate to anything similar. This is my craftinganvil.object ...

I can craft the addon fine from my Inventor's Table 3 and I even have 1 weapon (that works, but has a buggy primary name) as a recipe for the new Addon, but it does not want to activate when I place it on my replicator.
I'm new on the forums, so if you could tell me how to do the spoiler thing, I could probably help a lot more. (Not that I'm not trying to.) [EDIT] Nevermind!

I don't know whats wrong anymore. I copied your advice exactly; I had "runeterra" instead of "runeterraaddon" for most of my glow edits, but I changed to your advice to see if it would work. Im ready to give up; I DOUBT its because I have to recipes, but at the same time, I have a staff that's SUPPOSED to be made from Runeterra Addon, but even then, shouldn't it activate anyways? And this is when I use it: (Still no Runeterra at the top, even though I have the correct images)
