RELEASED Kangaru Race v0.5A

I covered this mod in a Mod Race Showcase. I covered several others as well. I didn't say it in my video, but I will say here yours is probably my favorite. I hope you flesh it out completely. Also, i'd love to see a variant with one straight ear and one floppy xD
Here's the Vid

 

Thank you for reviewing the mod. I've got plenty of stuff planned including a new revival animation which will be added in v0.3.

 

Mod was working perfectly fine, was playing with two other friends. Then when we ended the game and tried to start again, we got an issue with JsonParsingException: Error Extra data at end of input at 7:1 and so on. Checked the bootstrap.config for any command errors but it was the same as I put it in the first time, no idea what made this happen Can't even start the game now without removing the mod and the Mods folder as well as redownloading bootstrap.config from steam.

Tried to redownload the mod too, no dice.

Otherwise, we had a ton of fun, def our fav race of the new ones, great work.

 

If you need to, you can copy/paste the starbound.log (located in your Starbound directory) and the bootstrap.config over to pastebin so I can check.

Also with multiplayer, it's still very experimental and the devs have said to expect issues (not always caused by mods but people are still tinkering with the code that could cause crashes). I personally witnessed last night just how finicky the servers are for some people (a guy doing a stream got stuck in midair due to a server hiccup refusing to load chunks) but also how easy it is for the game to have syncing issues when too many people are on the server (why people want administration tools to adjust the max-user cap on the fly). I doubt it's the mod causing bugs per-say but rather the game still has a habit of causing itself to hiccup every now and then with random errors out-of-the-blue.

If you're having issues with downloading the mod from here due to it being unavailable, there's always the Starbound Nexus as an alternative.

Do I have permission to add this mod into a modpack for a youtube series, viewers will be able to download the mod via the modpack link. I will give full credits to all the mod developers, who decide to allow there mod to be apart of this modpack.

 

Sure. Just know it's still being worked on and might also be best to link them to here and over on the Nexus to the mod so they're informed of updates.

 

Will do

 

I Think You Could Have Put More Time In To This Like Its Own Story A Custom Ship Its Own Sound And A Birth Animation I Am Hoping This Is Some Friendly Advice On What To Do Next

Or don't write like that at all, cos it's actually a little annoying. The choice is yours.

 

Sorry

 

Now, why would you be sorry for giving me a joke opportunity?

Don't bother answering that

espilonarge updated Kangaru Race with a new update entry:

Updates and fixes

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

Awesome...

Now if the site actually let me download it that would be great

Has the nexus version been updated? :/

 

i hope one day you make it CCmod Compatible so i can have this with other races

 

Updated it a little bit ago.

Unfortunately there's a reason why it isn't currently compatible with CCmod or any other mod management programs.

Each race requires it's own unique ID code which must be manually set in the files as the Starbound engine does not automatically do this. Without setting an ID code to each race, the game has ID priority issues where if two or more ID's when selecting a race on the character creation screen are the identical, it automatically selects the highest available race on the list that owns that ID. This is sadly the only way to install the mod to avoid the problem (I personally wish the devs would get around to doing something to negate the issue).

 

A very good race. Any chance we can get some animation to the basic facial stance though? A simple eye-blink every now and then would be great.

Other than that testing it out seems very functional and very well animated and made, though i haven't got any armor yet.

Id like to see some racial specific lore for these guys too, if that was possible (codex, perhaps you could flavor-text the inspection tool too)

 

There are emote animations in. Blinking happens only every 10 odd seconds (not sure of exact timers) and you can always use the directional keys to use emotes.

Armor is still in place-holder status as doing the sprites would take a while (also originality since I don't want to just have another generic "tribal" set).

The same goes with codex related stuff. I've been pre-occupied with doing sprite art at the moment that I haven't had to time to sit down and write up a back story or lore to the race properly but I do have a fair idea of what I want to do. I'd also love to be able to do the cinematic intro that explains what's happened but sadly the devs haven't gotten around to enabling them yet (most likely because they're getting someone to voice the intros and a lot of the story art is place-holders for a few races). Adding flavor-text to stuff will also take some time since my main focus is making sure all the primary stuff is out of the road.

 

Hey Espi, looks good! =) Was considering doing one of my own here also. Are you able to point me toward any tutorials on how you make your own face for the game?

 

It's currently a big learning experience for me as there aren't any tutorials at the moment I can really point to (at least that I know of but hopefully someone will have something available later down the track). The best I can suggest is take a look at a number of peoples race mods to see how they're setup from how sprite sheets are designed and how each of the data files are configured. Other then that, I'm not the best person out there to teach others how to do stuff. n.n;
