Hmm excuse me, I love your work with the Familiars race and I love them deeply, but I was wondering about how difficult was it to update the race from its older version to 1.0? I would like to try updating a race whose author has not been around and havinga modicum idea of how big a task it is would be greatly appreciated.
It wasn't easy, but I did have experience in digging through those files and learning the syntax and variables once before. I'm sure you can do it if you download someone else's race mod with similar features and basically just port over the sprites and stuff. That's assuming it's mostly just a simple visual mod and not too complex with items and such~
Yeah its mostly a visual race, only thing worth mentioning would be their unique "voice sound" when hit.
Hey, I think I've updated your mod as much as I could to Glad Giraffe. I fixed the sword crashing, armors, made the recipes tiered, etc. You can take a look if you want and update the mod on your post or I could upload it but I don't know how permissions stuff work with copyright and crediting. https://www.dropbox.com/s/svwl9okigiwuacd/Familiars.Stable.Dev.rar?dl=0
Thanks! I'll check it out~ It's been a while and I've been keeping up with the game a lot less but I do intend to actually comb through some day and update this messy thing x3 Mostly waiting for the actual non-beta game release, been waiting on it so long I've stopped checking very often to make sure the mod's even working still
hi i tried your familiar mod with the most recent ( unstable ) version and it works as well, if not better, than it did before. do you plan on adding the ship back at some point, as that was pretty cool? ^_^
Thanks~ ^^ I wish I could add the ship back in, but I didn't plan on the game having ship upgrades as part of the progression, so I don't really have a way to make that work now. ^^;
i have finish the drawing but i don t know how i can send you the drawing i have make a description of he love and hate i m sure you can love it please help me how i can send you my draw PS: it s a drawing on paper i have no material for draw in PC sorry DX
You can sent it through Conversation, or by uploading picture on image hosting site (e.g.: http://imgur.com/).
i have a present for you... i made a drawing of my character in the universe of "Bit" (your character) i will show you this later...
srry for the really long message, i just couldn't think of a way to tell you my idea and how it might work without it being really long unless i told you in person + i have been known to go so far into detail that people start to fall asleep or just get really impatient. once again i am really srry if this is too long for you. thnx for reading my message and i hope you can get back to me on this soon.
It's a decent idea but it's such a massive one I'd have no idea where to start. I've had a number of people ask me to make other ones (usually as commissions) but it was already so much work to make this one and do upkeep on it. I really don't like the idea of doing another, especially not one that's so huge.
i know its a lot but if you have the time and you know how you could do it (if its possible) can you at least try, and if you can't do it plz tell me.
and if you can think of a way to do this maybe you can have lest say like 4 ultimate creatures for each class and you get to choose one of them to make but once you choose which ultimate you want and make it you can't go back and make the rest of them. I also don't know what ultimate to have for the mythical class... maybe you could make something up or just have it be something godlike creature such as Cthulhu.
then once you get to the last tier you can combine them all to make the ultimate creature of your class. the ultimate should be something that's not real such as a megalodon for the craniate.
after each tier you can make more tech for stronger, bigger, and more epic animals (still of your class) for example lets say you choose reptilia, the first tech you get should be a small snake, then a cobra, then a crocodile, alligator, komodo dragon and so on.
after you choose your class and character at the CCM, you spawn and based on the your class you have your new ship, items, quests, and abilities such as faster mining, more speed, higher jumping, better archery, and better melee. after starting the the game off and getting the "iron anvil" (or a new crafting station) you can make tech for an animal of your class.
i would imagine that when you are making the character you have a side menu that is used to pick a class such as canids, felines, Aves, Amphibia, Reptilia, arachnids, craniate, and then any mythical creatures (i don't know what i would call them) such as dragons, gorgons, unicorns, wyverns, hippo griffs, and harpies.
(this message will be in 8 parts dew to the high amount of characters in it)hey i know this might be a bit too much and you might not have the time to do it (thats why i am telling you about this idea but i am also telling a few other modders that have made races that i have really liked) but do you think you could make a race of shapeshifters or changelings?
Also, by settlement, I meant the small huts, as I'd like to see their furniture and such (hopefully not as spiky as that ship!) but hut NPC's are infuriatingly weak and always get killed off before I can reach them, so unless they're given their own guns, I guess they're better off in towns. I guess craftable furniture can come separately maybe?
Couldn't directly reply to your response, so... Avians seemed racist towards them though? And they didn't seem particularly rare, over half of the avian town were familiars instead. If it was just two or three, it'd make more sense.
Sounds like you got a "lucky" roll, then. I've run into a number of Avian villages and I would usually only find 2-3 in a large one. It's still more than I want to see usually, but I only changed like 6 rooms out of a possible 30 or so.
Oh, I also meant to say, about half the things Avians can say to familiars are actually fairly nice. Race-wise they tend to get along fairly well. Though it turns out that as an adventurer type running all over the place and fighting with aliens and splashing around in various liquids on planets, you can get extra smelly. :>
