RELEASED Avali Race Mod, The second thread!

Just to confirm so far. It does work with the new unstable branch. Just a few minor things like the pet and some other little changes I think then it will be compatible! (Though you are the coder here not me, so dunno how hard or easy it would be )[DOUBLEPOST=1428019254][/DOUBLEPOST]Ok my bad. It crashes when you try to tele down to the planet. I assume that might be due to a few changes with the start or whatever.

 

Oh, that's another thing that needs fixing. The teleporter. Might want to look into that. I believe they changed the config file.

 

I think the cat would be the best from existing pets, but would it be possible to make a custom pet that used the new pet AI? Something like a super-puffy kiwi bird or archaeopterix would suit them so much better.

 

I'll probably just include a pet module that is more or less a 'choose-your-own' thing, like
"Avali - ferret pet" "Avali - cat pet" et cetera. These would be small addons to Avali that give you that certain pet for your ship.

Again, I'll likely just copy/paste from vanilla for this.

 

hmm. i think i've found a problem (that or i'm being dumb), a few recipes in the nanolathe call for "steel block", and i can't find it in the metal crafting table or the metalwork station... i don't think i'd need a robotic crafting station for steel stuff, but i'm not sure. the closest i can make is "smooth metal", is it possible that they changed steel blocks into smooth metal, and can the recipes be changed to reflect that? also is there currently anywhere that someone can get a nanostove? i don't seem to be able to 3d print them yet, and i think that was where i got one in enraged koala...

 

Yeah it's supposed to be craftable on the metalworking station, but it isn't. You can still make it using a portable pixel printer though, costs 25 pixels per block.

 

You need to use the POrtable Pixel Printer to craft Cheap Lights, then you can use those to make the nanostoves (Which are also unlocked via pixel printer)

 

ok, thank you, sorry if that's already been asked about

 

New coder? So someone actually followed on the authors footsteps?

 

I haven't exactly coded much myself. Mackinz did most of the work, but his computer ran into some problems and had to be sent to the shop, so I picked up where he left off. I focused solely on first regaining the features that were present in Enraged Koala, then on making sure everything ran without crashing.

To that end, I launched and relaunched Starbound probably 50 times over the 3 days I first started working on it, trying to get Dungeons to work right. (Turns out that all those edits I did to the structure of the .dungeon file were unnecessary, and simply plugging Ryuu's version straight from the official download link fixed all but like 2 issues, and those 2 don't have much impact at all.)

Going forward, I'm going to be focusing on keeping the mod running smoothly, not on adding items. This means bugfixes, for the most part, and keeping any new vanilla features working with the mod. Once the new Stable update hits, I'm going to have to spend time getting the teleporter working right (Because the current teleporter crashes the game in Nightly, I've heard), as well as releasing a set of modules for you to select your pet. Hopefully this all works with no issue, but if the selectable pet causes issues I'll probably put up a poll and the winner of that poll becomes the 'official' pet of the Avali (Unless someone designs a new pet, in which case I'll gladly add that in)

Additional credits: Thakyz did a few of the files, and (Apologies, I've forgotten the name) did the ship, and someone else from the forums here did the AI. (Please speak up, I'd like to compile a list of credits for the unofficial update)

 

I did the ship and AI, I had help from Mackinz with the suits.

C'mon I said a lot of things on this forum and even sent you PMs Fevix, lol.

 

I'm glad to see there's unofficial updates floating around. I wish to be this good at modding, someday.
For now, I shall continue to be supporting by adding the mod as it updates.

 

most I can do is re-write basic (existing) code for standalone mods like space assassins. but even that confuses me and can take a day, not to mention I work 95% of the week away so don't even have time to mod/rebalance(mods) for rimworld anymore. T-T.

 

Just a quick comment on the pet, since Avali use drones a lot, maybe the pet could be a drone...... Just an idea. But there is one main flaw with my idea, what do drones eat? But then again, what do the glitch eat..... Just food for thought.

 

Some AAA batteries sound like a great treat for a drone... if they take that kind.

 

Drones, fluffy kiwis...

I suppose someone is going to make a More Ship Pets mod at some point. It's inevitable.

 

just saying something quick... I LOVE THIS MOD AND EVERYTHING/EVERYONE TO DO WITH IT!...
so yea... this one is right up there with frackin universe, your starbound crew and ghilzoka's Andromeda ship, best race mod by far!

...although I kinda like the mantis mod second best, I have a biased towards insects, if only they had ship upgrades ^^

 

I wanted to ask about some of the other mods that add to this one, but I wasn't sure how to search for it.
There were a couple other mods like Catalina Industries that added more vanity items, but they don't seem to be compatible with Upbeat Giraffe. Is there any of that stuff in this mod at the moment?

 

I do really hope that the avali mod gets updated to be with the current version (upbeat giraffe), it was the only reason I really got back onto starbound and now that its gone under, i'm eh heh slightly... less inclined to play the game.
it was a very awesome mod, I enjoyed the lovely fluff balls ^w^

 

The community made the patch for upbeat its right here:

If that didn't work its here:
