RELEASED The Empress' New Clothes - invisible cosmetic items

i've had a problem using this in mulitplayer servers. If i beamed to a planet with any of the stuff equipped, no monsters will spawn except mini-bosses and dungeons monsters. Also these monster act like i'm invisible, letting me walk pass and open chests. Furthermore, I can't attack anything, but i can open stuff, chop wood and dig up ore. Anyone else had this happen before?

 

Wow - I can't even imagine how that would happen -can you un-install the mod and see if that still happens? do you have any other mods installed? If you could give me an X, Y I'm more than happy to go check and see if that happens to me

I actually posted it at "In-game Support" thinking it was the new patch making mods screw up in multiplayer. These are the mods i was using at the time:
-Homesick
-ExtraLanterns
-StasisBed
-Porta-Porter
-TStechnologies
-Logic Gates
-LIssar's Hair Mods
-Empress New Clothes

When i first got the problem, i disabled all my mods through bootstrap.config( which i assume is telling Starbound to just not load the mod files). Then multiplayer worked fine. When i did this, all my mod items became green generic blocks. That was fine, and sorta expected. What i did next was enable each mod one by one, then logging into my friend's server each time and trying to kill something. Each time it was fine. At this point, I had all my mods activated and multiplayer was working fine. "Maybe it was a one time thing" I thought. Then i proceeded to remake some of my mod items.

When i beamed down to a planet in my friend's server and starting wandering around, i realized that i had forgotten to make the empress helmet. This was when teh problem appeared again. If i beam down with the helmet equipped, the problem occurs. Everything is fine so long as i don't equip it before i land in the planet, meaning if i beam down and THEN equip it, it's ok.

I just tested it on my own local server( multiplayer connected to my own server) and it works fine, so it could just be the server needing the files as well. Also, I installed all my mods through a mod folder in the Starbound folder and modifying bootstrap.config and player.config.

 

Thanks for the detailed reply - I'll try and replicate it tonight. Having it on the server should really help - but I have no idea what would be causing this What happens if you beam down to a planet that you have a friend already on, or a friend beams down to you when you are experience this bug?

 

it was just me with the problem. Me and my friend were on the same planet at the time, It maybe that i couldn't see him either, but i'm not too sure cause he tends to go far ahead.i haven't tried asking him to beam down after me. I'll give that a go when i see him again

 

in order to avoid this very problem you have hypothesized you could simply make the checkbox only appear when equiping the headgear. (would you like to see this headgear?) y/n

 

Whoa.

 

Is there a reason this mod doesn't use a player.config? Because all it took was a couple of minutes and I had a working file that didn't require me to edit a game file, which is a sure path to things breaking.

Code:

{
"__merge" : [],
"defaultBlueprints" : {
    "tier1" : [
    { "item" : "invishat" },
    { "item" : "invischest" },
    { "item" : "invispants" },
    { "item" : "invisback" }
    ]
  }
}

 

Because when I wrote this, there was no way of doing this I agree the new system is much better, I'm just updating the mod now

EDIT - updated

 

Very nice
What about a checkbox, I think this idea isn't worth digging into.
For example, Terraria has Familiar clothes for the same purpose, except that characters in Terraria have slightly more "built-in" clothing than underwear
Also, this functionality perfectly fits the purpose of cosmetic slots, that is, defines what you see instead of armour.

Also encountered this while browsing mods, if anyone is interested:

I'm not sure if it's because I'm terrible with files and computering (lol) in general... but this doesn't work for me. =/ Granted, I'm on Furious Koala, now. Not sure if this mod just isn't compatible or if I'm just bleh. HELP ME. I MUST GET RID OF THE HELMET. IT KILLS ME.

 

It currently doesn't work with this version working on it now!

 

Ok, it is working again New version uploaded here - if you have any issues with install, please let me know

 

Thanks, Works like a charm Love it

 

Glad you enjoy it Feel free to spread the word about it

 

Just to post it here: You may want to update the mod for Enraged for those who use it if you're not working on it already. Last post was on the 2nd so I thought I'd be nice and inform ya.

 

slime I have put all the files in the mods directory, but when I launch the game, the blueprint doesn't show up. Any idea why?

 

This mod is causing a crash on startup for me.

 

Even if I get this mod, how do I install mods if they aren't connected to my steam account?
