Racially Appropriate Ship Backgrounds 1.02 for 1.3

Better default backgrounds for your ship, based on race. - Cheerful Giraffe Compatible

    Racially Appropriate Ship Backgrounds
    Better default backgrounds for your ship, based on race.

    Now not every vanilla race uses the same background on their ships.


    No need to make a new character, automatically activates on your next ship upgrade.
    Will only change background "Wall Panel", "Support Block", and "Metal object" blocks.
    Any painted areas will remain painted.
    Note: I'm not sure how to change a fully upgraded T8 ship... yet. :/

    I recommend these mods as they work very well visually:
    Hanty's Human ship mod: http://community.playstarbound.com/resources/space-hamsters-express.2508/
    Jack Jasra's Novakid ship: http://community.playstarbound.com/resources/jack-jasras-black-novakid-ship.2472/

    Apex: Uses the normal background - I did not change this in mod

    Great mod,but it think you should switch the apex walls with the human walls.

    The lack of consistency in between the ship and the walls always annoyed me, love it! I also like the Novakid named "water"

    Love the mod, But really needs to fix the Tier 8 Part of the ship (That being the front, And at times some open spaces within the tier 8 upgrade parts. like glitches, where they have 2 door parts, and in the middle theres nothing. I had to manually put it there, And I'm not saying thats bad but meh. Wish it would do the whole thing. anyways Im rating this 4/5 as its a exceptional mod, but till upgraded and updated, It's gonna stay 4/5. I hope you continue working on it :)

    Love it so far. A simple edit that makes a big difference. I can see potential compatibility issues with custom ships that also edit the ship's blockkey.config.

      Yes, I need to find a way to use patch files instead, if it's possible. That's why the version isn't 1.0. ;)
