Fevix updated Avali (Triage) with a new update entry:

Demilitarization

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

Gee, what a coincidence. I was just thinking about how The Avali should be due for a patch, soon. In fact, I was just thinking about it only 2 hours ago.
Thanks for the update.

 

I try to get patches out on Fridays, so that servers can update just before the weekend. It's a steady stream of updates rather than just "Oh hey here's this one tiny change! Everyone update! Oh, and in about 3 hours there'll be another update!"

The only time this cycle breaks is if I'm being lazy (Like that 3-weak deadzone with no updates), the team hasn't made any commits (Hasn't yet happened), or if there's a game-breaking bug that needs a fix (happened a few times before)

 

outta pure Curiosity, has anyone known if Ryuu uploaded teh Orginal Avali while it was still a Spore thing to the Sporepedia? (aka if anyone still has it's .png if it ever was) as it'd be something to play between days of Starbound to keep from burnin out.

 

One more thing....WHEN did the tile generation/placement change??? Because I like to check my work against the original and all, I noticed that tiles are kinda wonky now, not a huge deal I suppose in the grand scheme of it all BUT still kinda bothersome. Anybody have ideas on how to change how the tiles display? That ones beyond my scope here, haven't dabbled in tiles...yet.

Look at the attached images and tell me I'm not crazy here Especiall at that little techy panel above the cushion between the crystal lamps...

 

Draw order randomly changed...

 

Hmmmm...AND I actually just noticed something else, nanocanvas tiles and horizontal tiles were at some point switched. I'll be sure to get that fixed for the next update too

 

Wait what?

How?

 

Yah, not even remotely sure dude. When I joined the team I hadn't even touched the dungeon files...until now. Anywho, you can see in those images what I'm talking about. I'll push an update to Fevix with the switcheroo.

 

No worries. Even little things can mean a lot. But don't mind me. I'm just building my Avali Settlement on a frozen ocean planet. I just thought it was perfect timing to when I mentioned it, to my self.[DOUBLEPOST=1445220718][/DOUBLEPOST]

Oh thank goodness, I'm not the only one! I thought I was just crazy and that the tiles were always like that.

 

Yup, seems like a draw order issue. I've looked at the two images, and aside from the nanocanvas somehow changing in the second, the two tents are the same, minus the draw order. In the first, where the led panels appear smaller, the tech panels around them are being drawn over the led panels. In the second, the reverse is true.

It can also be seen on the stairs to the left.
... Not sure I like the random dirt bits inside the tent in eh stairs area.

 

The thing is, if you go back to Ryuujin's version, the tech panels render on top of everything, but for some reason I'm not grasping they now layer beneath almost everything, it's like the draw order is reversed or something.

There's an image right on the mod page that illustrates my point.

 

Yeah, I get that. No clue why it'a happening.

 

Makes two of us Fevix...curiouser and curiouser.

 

finally found a Settlement aftre burnin thru alot of Fuel.


(thier large bellies is just a Modified Female body sprite sheet. )

 

Buncha fatties

 

Have you guys checked the z levels in the tile files? Wonky things can happen if tiles have the same z level. You might have to go through and make sure the z level values are ordered the way they need to be, if you haven't already.

I also vaguely recall there being two different types of LED tiles, and one of them was old. If that's the case, they may use two different z levels but otherwise appear to be the same block. *shrug*

 

I knew I was forgetting a thread that I wanted to respond to.

Yeah, mess with the zLevel value to change what tiles overlay what. Chucklefish recently decided to change the zLevel values of all vanilla tiles and maybe Triage just did not get with the times.

Also, I could supply a file to allow Avali crops to be sold in the Terramart if you want.

 

I wasn't aware this was a thing.

That would be appreciated, just toss it at the github.
