Outdated Dye Mod 2.1 (Enraged Koala)

yes, it works with at least Creative Mode, and it should be active on any character you have.

I don't use the MannCo mod, and the custom ships mod has literally nothing that overlaps with the Dye mod, so it should be fine.


You should learn to experiment. If you're not sure a mod will work, backup your saves elsewhere, then try the mod on a new character. If it doesn't work, uninstall it and replace the damaged players folder with your backups.

 

thanks a ton but the reason i wanted someone to elaborate is ive had a character wipe 3 times and really didnt wanna risk it but thanks xavius

 

So... backup your characters every time you go to install a mod that you're not sure about the effects of.

 

i do but still its more just to be safe but thanks again [DOUBLEPOST=1408801588][/DOUBLEPOST]also my golden coins are not anywhere to be found
please help me???[DOUBLEPOST=1408801649][/DOUBLEPOST]oops wrong mod

 

So @MrMagical would you be okay with it, I'd like to attempt to make an unofficial nightly port of this mod. As a challenge me and a few of my modder friends are running a modded nightly server to keep our coding skills sharp and we wanted to include your mod.

Distribution would be mostly private and anything beyond that would be only with your permission and on your terms, also if you ask I'll keep you subscribed to the nightly patch as well so you can see what is being changed.

Are you okay with this?

 

@ShadowHunter12:

I'm okay with modification and distribution if these conditions are met:

• The intended audience is limited somehow (a server community is fine).
  
• Some form of credit is left in.
  
• Any unofficial versions are marked as such or renamed.

I wish you good luck. Feel free to contact me if you want to collaborate or have interesting news.

 

I'll let you know how it goes, this will be a real learning experience for me.

 

Hi, I'm a user of the mod, and I must say it is excellent, and would like to make a suggestion, add to the list of objects that can be painted, the doors that are on ships (I think his name is "apexshipdoor") of advance thank you very much for reading my post

 

Is the guide mentioned a page or so back comiing soon? Will it contain the the preferred way of making a mod compatible with Dye Mod, or is the preferred way to make our mods compatible on page 1 of the comments? Looking at that page, the directions appear to be just for armor/clothes. How do we convert objects like a chair, please? The sprites for some of my objects are already made in the basic colors, and I added the line to retain data to the ones I am working on. Any instruction would be appreciated. Will you post the current guide or a link to it on the front page please? If the instructions are somewhere in the comment section, I have missed them.

That said, wow, thank you. I love the flexibility it gives the player in wearables and decorating. Kudos!

 

crash on startup

 

If you're trying to use this with unstable, bare in mind that almost none of the extant mods (save for those designed to run with nightly) will work in the current build.

 

the nightly developments were put on the unstable branch a couple of hours ago

 

Here's hoping that someone could update this mod for unstable. :/

 

i hope this mod is updated to be used by the giraffe versions soon >.<
the koalas is fast asleep, now

edit: further hoping this mod gets implemented into the actual game! it's so silly how it's not in. lol

 

Sorry for this obvious question: does this work with the nightly build? (i dunno,but i'd like to know)

Well,i'd love to see Spacebound,Vitsou,Colorbound,Okea and this one. They were in my stable build since when i discovered the forum

 

Hey all, I've managed to update this mod on Upbeat Giraffe... I can craft the station, open the dye interface on items and it outputs a new item with the new name, however, it does not color it. Kind of a shout out to the dev of the mod... Think you could help me? I wouldn't release this without your permission.

 

With all the new items and changes in the new stable build release "Upbeat giraffe" I assume this may be a somewhat challenging update to create... but it would be unrivaled when it comes to expanding customization. It is a must have for anyone who enjoys mods in starbound, love your work and effort and wish you best of luck. Update will be so much fun if you can make it happen once again!

 

I've delved into the internal workings of starbound's color stuff, and, at least for items, they start out this orange brown color and are colored in-game by a bunch of "this hex value should be this" statements, so you could easily make it independent of data as long as that same system is used by what you're trying to dye, and I imagine that this is pretty similar to what the mod author actually did.

Unfortunately, the newest version seems to have a different way of doing player.config files, which invalidates all the old stuff. Not sure if this is actually accurate, as I just looked into the code of various mods, but all the player.configs I found are now Player.Config.Patch and have a completely different format.

 

The LUA api has changed since Koala, so you can't just re-write the merge code to the new patch format and expect it to work. The code needs to be rewritten. The LUA API documentation can be found in the modding help forum if you're interested.

EDIT: The mod page does say there's a new version in the works, but I can't seem to find out when that was written, and MrMagical Hasn't posted since September & doesn't have the recently active thing visible, so I'm not really sure what to think.

 

I want to apologize for the lack of updates. A new version is indeed being worked on.
I've tried to put time aside for this while being very busy with other things. It's difficult for a single person to make all these design decisions and implement them properly within the harsh restrictions of the game's engine.

Dye Mod 3.0 "Infinity" now contains many thousand lines of code and item properties, but it's not finished. I still have a few problems left to tackle.
