RELEASED A.V.I.A.N. Avian Core

Would any of the assets I edited for AVIAN FreeWare Edition possibly come in useful? I already made working portraits and questportaits, as well as tech stations for every race.

 

Good to see this is being updated. I absolutely love the Avian AI you've done.

 

Ooh that tech station is cute!
Though, I will probably completely redraw the tech station, or maybe make a new design. Not sure yet. But I'll think of it!
As for the portraits, I will try to make them as complex as the regular AI. But if it doesn't work out, and it's limited to the small amount of frames, I'll consider using yours, sure!


EDIT: I just noticed that all animations in the radio messages actually play backwards! It's not noticeable in the vanilla game as most animations are 2 frames anyways...

 

yay i miss avian!

 

Hm, come to think of it, having her dialogue in reverse would make for a pretty good glitch-out in the beginning. Everything's dark, broken, and sparking and AVIAN's over in the tech station shouting "pihs eht toober!"

 

Hah, I like that idea!


EDIT:

All the radiomessages are done. Now I have to do all stuff in relation to the terminal. Changing it to have her face on it, and modifying the dialogue.
Then, I noticed there's also quests from the ai, so I have to change a bit about them aswell. But first I have to figure out where they get their images from and stuff.

 

i think y need to explain how to instal this mod it wont work for me a nice tut will be good with more details

 

its outdated,
if you really want it you can get this one

its not quite the same, but it works!

 

thx mare

 

Lol, I spent most of yesterday making an animation for the broken techstation, only to realize that broken ones aren't used anymore. Whoops >_<


Ahwell...

 

that sucks, still a cool animation!

 

Did the non broken version today


Tomorrow I'll do the alternatives for the other races

 

looking good!

 

Did the other versions today:



I've been thinking about giving her different colors for each race. But it would make the file size much bigger, for barely any real benefit. So, she stays blue...

Now, there is a quest or two started by the ai, and I gotta find out where the icon is so I can replace it. Same goes for the chat bubble that pops up in the beginning

EDIT: Did the chat bubble. I think the techstation is completely done. I also had to mess around with the intro cinematics as the part where the ai wakes you up in the protectorate mission is part of a cinematic, not a radiomessage. Slowly I'm getting used to using patching...

EDIT: omg I'm such a dummy! The quest portraits were in the ai folder all along xD

 

Thank you for working so hard on the mod and sticking with it!

 

keep the good job! you are work is great!

 

Sooo, I did the quest icon and such. I can't change the name from SAIL to AVIAN though. It's not a biggie though.
Worse is the fact that once you finish the gaterepair quest, and receive the coordinates for a mission, like the Erchius Mining Facility, the AI will send you a radio message about that they have received the coordinates. The thing is, this message is not part of the radiomessages and I have no idea where to find it.
Searching around in the assets...
Sadly the log doesn't seem to tell me where it is

Aka this message: "I have received the coordinates for the Erchius Mining Facility. If you return to the ship you can teleport there using my mission interface."
Dunno where it's from

 

I searched for it myself and here are the results:

Code:

Search "Erchius Mining Facility" (6 hits in 2 files)
  C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Starbound\assets\_unpacked\ai\missionhuman1.aimission (2 hits)
    Line 8:       "buttonText" : "Erchius Mining Facility",
    Line 9:       "repeatButtonText" : "Revisit the Erchius Mining Facility",
  C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Starbound\assets\_unpacked\quests\story\human_mission1.questtemplate (4 hits)
    Line 4:   "title" : "The Erchius Mining Facility",
    Line 6:   "text" : "I can repair that ship, but it's gonna take 20 ^orange;Erchius Crystals^reset;... You'd better ^green;get yerself over to the Erchius Mining Facility^reset;. I've sent the location coordinates to ^green;yer ship's SAIL^reset;.",
    Line 29:       "findCrystals" : "^green;Fetch ^orange;Erchius Crystals^white; from the ^orange;Erchius Mining Facility^white;",
    Line 40:       "text" : "I have received the coordinates for the ^orange;Erchius Mining Facility^reset;. If you ^green;return to the ship^reset; you can teleport there using my mission interface."

Best bet is \quests\story\human_mission1.questtemplate.

 

Oh my thank you!
All the radio messages for having received the coordinates for the missions are in the mission files! Neat!

The AI really is all over the place! I already have to alter so many different sections of the assets. Ai, cinematics, interface, items(for fun), objects, radiomessages, and now the quests!
I hope I can finish the update tomorrow. If not, then at least this weekend!
Who knows, maybe I find some more things that I need to alter...
