Hello! Sorry to ask of this but I got a problem while trying to add my custom pet to starbound. I've looked on how other mods add them to see how. Added all the respectful files as they do. And renamed stuff properly to fit the pet I'm making for my race. My pet is some kind of alien lizard version of a cat like creature. I've done the animations file for it. Renamed it to what it should. And respectfully looked over the monsterpart file and renamed things properly in it for that part. I've looked at the other petfiles in the game to get an idea of how things should be located and named. Also fixed the monstertype name and all that. Ok great! Then I added the pet type name to the techstation for the race. also the name of that techstation on my pet monstertype file in the correct location. Now adding it to the game. Poof! Pet is not even there. Invisible or not spawning at all. I'm not sure how to fix this or what to do at this point. Can someone give me some advice on what to do please? Would be highly appreciated. I've worked hard on this mod for some time now and don't want it ruined of small things. Since it is very similar to the cat in the game I used the existant cat pet file and renamed things. Maybe work further on it later when I make it work. But I'm not sure what is wrong at this point.
Always check the starbound.log if something is not working. That should be the first step in everything.

If no pet is showing up and no error in log. You have to check the script it self to make sure it is even attached to your tech station.
Yes it is attached to the techstation Here is a copypaste from that part of the code Code: ], "scriptDelta" : 20, "shipPetType" : "petlizcat", "spawnOffset" : [2, -1],
Is the lua script attached though? If Lua Script is attached. Change pet -> vanilla pet name see if it works. If pet spawns -> issue is with your pet. If pet still doesn't spawn when replacing name with vanilla Issue is with your script.
Ok this is how I have setup the modlocation for the pet in my mod mods\fizarian\monsters\pets\lizcat: > petlizcat.animation petlizcat.monstertype parts: > whiteorange.monsterpart whiteorange.png Only one color so far to make sure it works before I do something more.
Here you go https://mega.nz/#!jo5xURTY!FTUXfQVYQ9rHWCVagEPo-pMjC6nzqvAFYcUcX5TZUKk Half of the animations are not finished and replaced by a temporary pose until I'm sure I can make the pet work. Don't want to waste more time on it until this is sorted out.
So 3 issues. 1. You gave the wrong log file The actual issue was, Code: [10:25:09.243] [Error] Exception caught loading asset: /monsters/pets/actions/starvingAction.lua, (AssetException) No such asset '/monsters/pets/actions/starvingAction.lua' 2. You were either using an old reference mod ( my own - which hasn't been updated in a while. ) or you need to unpack your assets again, so you have the latest versions of vanillia files. The new pets do not have a starving.lua 3. You had no frames file. I attached a working version of your pet - you can see it in Avian race.
Thanks for helping me out. Yes it is possible I'm using an old unpack since I used files from unpacking the game as reference to make the pet. I will re-unpack the game to be sure.
