RELEASED Greckan Race Mod v1.2.5a (SB v1.3.3)

Nah, don't worry much. Just get some sleep, I started working on them already anyhow.

 

Inf_Wolf14 updated Greckan Race Mod with a new update entry:

Versioning Update

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

Hi there! Just giving an update. I'd attempted to recreate the cutscene multiplayer crash, and instead got a smooth transition into gameplay! Whatever it was that you'd done in the update, it seems it fixed it up just fine. And it seems my ship has gained one furry little friend, even on my pre-established ship, no restart needed! You're a fast worker, great job! And thank you!

 

What's the greckan biology like? Are they infected humans or their own thing or what?

 

Theres a quick synopsis in the mod page. It is pretty basic and short-winded, but I have the lore updates coming soon.
For the sake of you not having to go look, the Greckan are organic-mineral hybrids that have been infected with an ancient parasitic virus that lived within Erchius, and altered the genetic structure of various organisms into the Greckan.

 

Oh that's cool.
Thanks for making it clear for me

 

Hello again!
This is the actual status of the script, Imagine the last red mini-square to be something more beautiful and creative than a simple red mini-square (I'm not an artist )

I need better assets and perhaps a better animation than an instant destroy/spawn, but the essential code is there.

How do it seems?

 

Broken image.

 

It takes a moment for it to be loaded, is a big one, just give it a minute.

 

Haha, that's awesome. Might be useful to change the blocks that are used a bit, maybe something else to give it more... "life"? Idk.
But that is pretty damn cool!

 

Just saw it! That looks so cool! Do you mind if I use said script for building Sallokian vehicles and automatons?

 

Glad you like it! Today I'm going to polish it to make it more modular, error check, etc. that way will be useful for you both (Or for anyone else)
I will post it once it's done.

 

Excellent! I envy your scripting capabilities. (You too Inf...)

 

Ok, everything is done! I will upload the main scripts as a stand-alone core mod, that way I can update it on my own and accept request without bothering you
On the other side, I will send you both a test sub-mod to see how to use the main script, I must leave now, i will do it all later this day

Done!!! The core scripts are here: Golemancer - Core
My first mod ever... be patient while getting used to it

Attached you can find the promised sub-mod, all yours, included the extremelly ugly red square!!!!

        }
    },

  ...

  -- Only gol_main.lua at the moment, more to come :P
  "scripts" : [ "/scripts/golemancer/gol_main.lua" ],
  "scriptDelta" : 1,

  -- Array of patterns that the object can match
  "patterns" : ["/scripts/golemancer/patterns/greckan.pattern"]
}

 

Hey, the pet can be killed for some reason...

 

I'll check into it today.

 

Thanks.

Upgrading the Upgrade!

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

Steam Workshop version has been updated to 1.0.8c. Find it Here.


Also, as promised, here's a beta version that I will begin updating with the new Golemancer functionalities:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/76vvtojp1pd75e2/GreckanRaceMod_v1.0.8c.zip?dl=0

This version is unique in that the mod requires the GolemancerCoreScripts by @AlbertoRota as a dependency to function. The mod will run without them, but I can confirm the beta functionalities will not and also, all Fennix foxes will no longer spawn.
Here's a basic rundown of what I've started on:

• First, you can currently make wild Fextal foxes. (Yes, that's why Fennix foxes can be broken without the dependency.)
  • Find any old Fennix, (Or spawn one in.) and submerge it in Liquid Erchius Fuel. If done properly, you should notice the liquid level drop until eventually, you get a wild Fextal!
• Second, I have started on a pattern spawn function to create pure crystal Greckan people. (Essentially, fully crystal, part transparent Greckans.) Nothing special here, but I've been struggling with the pattern syntax and I am determined to make it work! (I'll update the pattern layout later for everyone...)

*Insert cliche farewell statement*
