Outdated Avali Race Mod 0.12.4

http://nooooooooooooooo.com/





Also, Does this orange name thing happen for anyone else?

 

Now that I'm actually back in the game... god damn it, the "connection lag"-like bug from the Enraged Koala update is STILL there T_T I hate that, it breaks my enjoyment of the game somewhat. I don't like how the monsters and engine actions just randomly stop for a second before catching up, much like an MMO's lag.

 

I wish.

 

I'm having a problem... I've downloaded the mod correctly (put the folder labeled "Avali" in the mods folder), but its race option doesn't show up when I try to create a new character. Can anyone help with this?

 

You may not have a character extender installed.

 

Oh my gosh they look amazing... Can somebody perhaps direct me to a more detailed image of one, besides the in-game sprites? :L

 

@DarkusTheFirst Here you go - some useful concepts and some of the major types of sleeves that "work". You don't need to mimic the exact original sleeves afterall if they don't work. (I had these in my mind a while, useful to put pen to paper anyway ) - I mean... hell; technically speaking half those sleeves are going to be identical anyway right, just different coloured tubes. Just leave players to pick their own sleeves and recolour them to suit (In a patch or two's time I'll be adding dye bucket compatibility)

xD

I like seeing you around here
Makes it easier to keep an eye on my rivals fellow race modders

Here you go

Character extender? Never heard of that... think I'll find one.

 

I'd recommend http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?resources/kawas-xbawks-mode-character-creator.81/

 

Actually, TTU, the mod's front page tells you you need the extender, so... it's your fault for not reading that no offense meant.

EDIT: Also I'm not the only one who notices the "lag spikes" in the game right? The most recent patch still didn't fix it...

 

It generally occurs when you're moving too fast through an area for the game to load, hence the slowdown. Same concept as when Minecraft slows a bit to load missing chunks from the area you're entering.

 

Yet another awesome thing to look forward to.
I'm sure the shading will be cleaned up by the time these are released, but if it helps, here are some references: (1, 2, 3.)
The only other thing is that the banners look a bit too long, so maybe a bit of trimming is in order?

Also, will we be able to place these on the underside of blocks?

 

Yes, there'll likely be an "underside" version. And yeah that's just a test sprite, to see if the idea a) works, b) people like and c) how realistic multiple variants will be

 

No literally like a "connection lag" type of thing in an MMO, where everything freezes in place while moving and then everything catches up. Like a monster who's jumped at me midair and freezes or when I'm mining things and what I've mined occasionally gets delayed as the engine "lags".

 

Many thanks @RyuujinZERO , that helps a great deal. And the brown outfit is what I was aiming for to be honest. Having it be held by a strap between the fingers is much better ^^

 

Oh. Derp.

 

I have to say, for the first mod I ever installed, I think this was the best choice I could make! Too bad it isn't an actual race, that would be soooo cool!

 

Oooh, that's what the wings look like from behind. Thank you for that!

 

It happens occasionally. I think it has to do with people you've been in a conversation with? I dunno.

Wow... That's pretty cool. As for the bottom left one, though, if they flipped their feathers upward (is that even possible?) or perhaps when they're decending downwards, I'd think the lower portion of the sleeve would start to flip up a bit. Would be an interesting extra bit to see (it could also happen with the upper right one)

 

Feathers tend to be anchored deeply, on terrestrial birds there are even bony nodules at the base of the biggest feathers, so the direction of the feathers matches that of the arm, so if they were to rotate their forearm/hand, then those feathers would be "upside down" relative to the diagram yes. But the strap over the hand would twist the sleeve through the exact same pattern, so the sleeve and feathers would remain in roughly the same alignment. If you mean how the sleeves might "billow" as part of the animation, yes, that kind've cloth movement is incorperated into some of the animations

EDIT: Though, testing that theory for myself; I'm not sure birds can twist their forearm nearly as much as that; try it for yourself... the ulna and radius slide under the skin. If the feather/skin position is relatively fixed on a bird, then that sliding motion cannot happen...
