Tutorial MOD-TUTORIAL 3: How to make your own Gun (OUTDATED)

Then somethin aint right
Did you try using the template and go from there? What do your logs say?

I know that feel bro... Same to you, what do your logs say? it's probably a .config or projectile by the sound of it

 

Look in your log file, it should have an error at or near the bottom.

 

im going to try and redo it

I figured it out, it was something with the projectile... how do i fix it????

 

Duplicate projectile asset typeName MyNewGunProjectile.

You have two projectiles with the same name. One of them is mynewgunprojectile.projectile, you're going to have to find the other and rename one of them. When you rename it, change the name inside the file as well.

its actually this problem... i found the other projectile and deleted it..

 

Does dubstepgun.projectile exist? If so, could you upload it so I can take a look?

 

{
"projectileName" : "dubstep",
"frames" : "dubstep.png",
"animationCycle" : 0.25,
"level" : 3,
"energyCostPerDamagePoint" : 1,

"action" : "config",
"file" : "/projectiles/explosions/plasmaexplosion2/plasmaexplosion2.config"
}
]
"power" : 50.0,
"damageKind" : "default"
}

 

You need a comma on the line before "power"

Any idea? Do you need the rest of the info?
Using muzzleflash1 animation because I thought the other one was the issue.
Everything's named correctly and the item loads up and all that...

{
"frames": "xblastermf.png",
"variants": 6,
"frameNumber": 1,
"animationCycle": 0.03,
"offset": [
0,
0
]
}

*realized i had 6 frames in taht animation so i changed value to 6 for variants, but it still crashed. Also tried 1, no luck*

*** Now copying from muzzleflash to have exact info ***

 

It loaded up, but i went to go craft it and there is nothing there

 

I'm going to need the actual error the slow asset warning isn't the issue.
*look for something staring with this - Error:

 

Did you add the recipe to player.config?

@M4X_L10N, the log info you posted wont really be useful, that's just the game closing down. I'm not really sure about the animation bit, I haven't messed with them too much yet.

 

Hey i got starbound to start, but my crafting didnt show up...

 

where is the config???

 

Starbound/assets/player.config you will want to use something like notepad++ to open it for readability
*personally I avoid the player config if I can, like by modding the .species files instead, but that's not allways the most efficient course.

 

Yah I edited it out, seemed worthless.
I'm using the exact default muzzleflash1 renamed and it's giving me that slow asset crash.

 

can you drag and drop your log file into a post for me

 

ok so now how do i add the recipie??
