Outdated Temperature Returns [UG] v0.5.1 ( Hot Fix )

don't know if it was already in or they added it in one of the lastest patches but there is (i think new) script in assets. entityproxy.lua . So maybe it will be usefull?
EDIT: i just downloaded v04 of this mod and on the first planet i can't live i'm dying because of overheating but i can jump much higher and walk fast (before i die )

 

Just tell me when it is ready to be tested and I'll jump on it.

 

In player.config.patch, line 54:
>"maxStat" : "armorHeatdMax"
Do I detect a mistype here? It looks like you copypasted the block for armorColdMax and then hastly edited it.

 

The mod seems to make characters dependent. Learned it the hard way, where I have a character prepared for a RP server, but as soon as I remove the temperature mod, it disappears off the character list. Is there maybe a way to reverse this? I wouldn't really want it all to go to waste.

 

I am fully aware the mod is in such a state and that's exactly why I've decided to give it a try.

I had no clue that the mod would render the only character I had at the time unusable and have only jumped on the game for a few minutes to see how it's working.
Perhaps it would be for the best to include that specific warning, so that others avoid what happened to me. By saying that it's only for testing purposes, many don't quite know what exactly could happen.

Thanks nonetheless and.. cheers!

 

Fantastic mod! I'm working on something to make biome hazards more interesting, this might be a big help. I have some questions, if I may.

I'm very confused by the directory structure of your status effects. Does the name of the folder just not matter at all? For instance: the "garden" statuseffect is in a folder called "biome", and I'm not sure how Starbound is able to figure out to look in that directory to find that status effect. Does it just sorta look everywhere, and the names of the folders don't really matter?

The bigger question, though, is about Ephemeral Effects. I notice you use some, but I'm not really sure what the difference between them and normal status effects are. Even weirder, you have them containted in their own special subdirectory (\temperature\stats\effects\biome\specialEffects) of a normal status effect. Why is that? And what benefits do you gain from using an ephemeral effect in the first place?

I hope you can answer my questions. Thanks a lot for this mod.

 

So, the reason hunger was removed was because basically all it did was make you use an item every minute or so, or else you die, and it wasn't very interesting, right? Thing is, hazardous planet types have a similar problem right now.

Let's take moons. They have this special unique biome type, so it should make exploring that planet more interesting, more fun. But it doesn't work out like that - if you head to a moon without a Breath Protection suit, the only thing that happens is you start suffocating and slowly taking damage. And, what's even worse, is that once you get the Breath Protection suit, it completely removes the moon's only unique property. These nanosuit techs actually remove features from the game.

In practice, what this means is that there are two possibilities:

1. Either you visit a moon before you get the nanosuit tech, you'll be forced to keep using bandages, or else the breath bar will be depleted and you'll die... almost exactly the same mechanic as the old hunger system that was judged uninteresting
2. Or you visit a moon after you get the nanosuit tech, and you find a moon that's had its uniqueness removed, and feels exactly the same as every other planet type

Not great. There's a general issue in this game that although the various planet types have very varied looks, they mostly sort of play the same. The biomes with unique hazards are one of the exceptions, but you have to choose between completely disabling the unique hazards, or playing with them but having them kill you! And even if you play with the hazards, they're not really fun or interesting, just punishing in a boring way.


My mod, then, offers more of a middle-ground. I'm changing the hazards to be more unique and more interesting to play, and changing the nanosuits so they don't completely remove the hazards, but just make them less harmful. For example, Ice worlds would no longer damage you or slow you down (that's just frustrating), but they make you very slippery and hard to control and make your techs freeze up* and stop working. The nanosuit enables your techs, but leaves you with a very small amount of slipperiness - not enough to make it hard to control, but enough to make the planet still feel different.

I was excited to see your mod, because right now characters get "chilled" as soon as they beam down to the planet. It'd be more interesting if you slowly get cold over time, and hopefully your mod will give me some insight about how to make that work.

*I actually still haven't figured out a way to disable techs without just disabling the entire energy bar... I don't want to prevent Novakids from using their guns, that's too harsh, they basically won't be able to attack at all... I just want to lock out or disable tech use. Hopefully I figure out some way to do that!

 

I like this mod can you make it more than a proof of concept you could really got it good,so if you could plz improve and refine it be more than a proof of concept

 

Im not sure if you have though about it but incase you havent. For the object "AOE" effect, there use to be a status on torches and camp fires thatd give "warming" or something like that which activated at a distance from the object. If that fails the buff capsules have a AOE but its very small. Using a system like that but making it constant rather then single use could work as well. I love the idea and I cant wait for a non dev version.

 

Well i liked the old system before the updates and plz and modded races,so if you could remake that but with modded race sport,oh and racial bonus. That's me feedback

 

I've been experimenting with something similar, but more simplified, during my spare time, so maybe I'd better take a look at this. I wonder if this could be tweaked to add more kinds of environmental hazards, like high radiation, high pressure, and high chance of catching a disease...
