RELEASED Avali (Triage) 1.11.0

I was kinda dissapointed when I saw certain weapons labelled as "Fist Weapons" and they turned out to work like Knives... Might be a nice idea to have craftable Fists.

 

Maybe it's only me, fates knows I've had my share of snags with adding in mods. But, are the Avali Crafting Stations (Weapons bench, Nano Loom, etc.) supposed to be looking 'half inched'? That is so say, I've seen the sprites for them from likely older versions where they were full crafting tables, not just little...half stations. Am I experiencing a glitch or are they that small on purpose? And if so, why?

 

Yes, they're that small on purpose. I... don't entirely know, they were made like that before Ryuujin (Original creator) left

 

If I remember correctly, the Crafting Stations were meant to be placed on Tables, or somesuch.
On that note, though, Avali are supposed to be short as all hell in canon, so, it does rather make some measure of sense that the Crafting stations are small.

 

any clue what this is? my game won't even load up if i try to use the mod only getting to the loading screen before crashing with a pop up saying that error.

 

Some have had a similar crash. delete your universe folder (This will remove all planets, unfortunately) and you should be able to load up.

 

Why not living by ALL the peaceful oceans?

 

Tempting... But I've already started setting up my ocean base.

 

The patch file into friendlyguard.npctype is all kinds of messed up.

To compare, here's the patch file contents:

Code:

These changes end up causing errors with other race mods (namely the Orcana) which patch into the same file. I think this issue should be resolved as soon as possible.

Edit: ... I just realized that my problem stems from not having updated my Avali version in a while, as the latest version does not have this issue. Oh well. *shrug* Never mind.

 

nope did not work. i'm going to trying something else though.EDIT ok i did a sttupid and did not let the unvirse folder regen so after loading the game up vanilla stile and making a human char and getting out of the game wonce i beamed down then adding the mod back in did it work so i feel really stupid....staying up for 3 days does not help

 

do you guys think the creator of the avali will return or gone for good....

 

He may, eventually, once Starbound reaches a more stable state that doesn't require near-constant mod updates and tweaks.
To be perfectly honest, seeing how much Chucklefish changes regularly, I don't blame him one bit. They certainly don't make it easy to keep things running smoothly, changing files and formatting all over the place. I get that they're trying to make a better game, and I'm not saying they should stop, but come on, give us a break... AND QUIT CHANGING VARIABLE NAMES.

 

So are you ever gonna fix the avali can't hold fist weapons thing, or..?

 

For a temporary solution, many of the avali cloaks hide the arms well whilst holding fist weapons. I personally wish they changed the knife weapons to be fists because that's pretty much what they were designed to be.

 

Oh, okay then. Yeah that totally looks like something that's supposed to be there.

By the way how can I stop my character making stupid faces while on the hoverbike? Because I don't feel like looking like an emotional wreck while I'm riding a badass sci-fi motorbike.

 

....is it bad that i want to see that stay in?

 

The Faces thingy is in the regular game. You could just delete the .png files for the expressions, Granted you can't make any more expressions then.

 

We're not in the liberty to fix vanilla features, sorry.

Many other things may await, however...

 

I didn't ask you if you could change it. I asked if I could change it. The other dude actually read the question.
