Tutorial MOD-TUTORIAL 3: How to make your own Gun (OUTDATED)

i'll look into it this evening...
btw there could be errors because of the update i have to update the tutorial

 

Done. Still won't work

 

Whenever you have time. Thanks!

 

Woop, I noticed something else that I didn't see the first time. You're also missing a quotation mark at the end of this line:

Code:

"fireSound" : [ { "file" : "/MyNewGunMod/sfx/MyNewGunSound.wav } ]

should be

Code:

"fireSound" : [ { "file" : "/MyNewGunMod/sfx/MyNewGunSound.wav" } ]

I'm reeeeeally sure I don't see any other formatting errors now, so if it still doesn't work after fixing this you've probably got an incorrect file path to one of the other assets like one of the images, or your projectile file could possibly have errors.

For what it's worth, the weapons I had added before the update still work fine, but their damage was way off. I'm not sure how CF made the item level affect damage, gotta fiddle with it.

edit: Well, I think they're actually working as intended. Sort of. The big numbers caught me off guard.

 

Hey i finally discovered how to make/edit any thing in the game, and like, create a gun using others guns parts, then give it a name, and i will be able to play with it in multiplayer, i will make a crazy weapons mod and post it here, like under 1 week, i created a crazy blue gun (i draw in paint) and i shoot red explosive lasers in a crazy velocity, 1 hit of the laser to destroy a 5x5 area or kill someone instantly, off course it is made by impervium and diamonds ( but if you edit you can make it be 0 coins) i'm making a lot of crazy things in the server, (like trapping people in their ships) now after the update my name is: vhmercenario
If you want a fishaxe or anything just ask me , ghoul one question, i can only give my "special items" when i use a container , if i drop on the ground it become a green box with the name "perfectly generated item" and it don't turn back, so i need to craft again, why this happens, the others can see i using the weapon and can use it too, but if it fell in the ground, it is turned into that green thing

 

ok.... i want a randomly generated gun to be craftable, i cant find a tut on how to do that.

i have my recipe

Code:

 {
  "input" : [
    { "item" : "money", "count" : 1 }
  ],
  "output" : {
    "item" : "legendarymachinepistol",
    "count" : 1
  },
  "groups" : [ "plain", "objects", "all", "tools" ]
}

and my .gun file is the one already built in im not creating my own gun...

and my player.config file has this line for the gun

Code:

      { "item" : "legendarymachinepistol" }

thers no comma cause its the last in the list.... now i KNOW this wont work... for random generation you have to put a definition parameter in there somewhere im just not sure what the format is.... if anyone knows the proper code for randomly generated items that would help out alot =) thanks

 

yea the "level" parameter in ".gun" now counts more or less as a multiplier...

 

how do i change the energy per shot?

 

it's the multiplier... change it to 0

 

In your "PlasmaCutterMF.animation" you named the image you want to use "plasmacuttermuzzle.png" but it's called "PlasmaCutterMF.png"
nice item image btw

i don't know if it's possible to do that...

it sounds like the icon image of that weapon is missing or just an error because of the changed parameters

 

it appears normal until you trow it using the "Q"

 

im sorry? im a newb with this stuff. i dont understand, what do you mean.

 

in your .gun file youll find the line with "multiplyer : [some number] change the number to 0 and itll get rid of energy cost.

 

he meant this parameter "energyCostPerDamagePoint" : 15,

 

It was possible pre update... u had to put some weird code. friend of mine showed me how to do it cause i had no clue but he isnt answering me now... (i lost my player.config file when the update happened and didnt think to back it up.)
it was something like

Code:

{ "item" : "legendarymachinepistol", "definition : "generatedgun", "count : 1", "level : 10" }  

but im assuming that wont work anymore considering they got rid of the level factor. idk.

 

yeah i just tried almost exactly that code... but still no luck...

 

I like the new damage system, but man it did hell on all my modding.. spent about an hour or 2 redoing everything. =) as for the generated guns, ill have to wait till some1 smarter than I figures it out. thanks for ur time tho. ill keep a close eye on this thread. if u ever figure it out feel free to post it since like i said i cant find tutorials on making craftable random weapons ANYWHERE.

 

I made the chainsaw(in progress), the fishaxe, the mining laser, the paint gun,the buster, bubblegun(in progres), diamond drill and all the instruments be made by free in the anvil soon i will be posting the mod
Edit: the mining laser sucks :http://prntscr.com/2a8hf5
the buster: http://prntscr.com/2a8hpk
Fishaxe:http://prntscr.com/2a8i24
Diamond drill: http://prntscr.com/2a8ikh
insta-sword: http://prntscr.com/2a8ivq
NOW THE "SPECIAL ITEMS" THAT I'M MAKING ARE SECRET , basically what you need to do to add and item to the anvil, create a file with this code:
{
"input" : [
{ "item" : "money", "count" : 0 }
],
"output" : { "item" : "ITEM_ID_HERE", "count" : 1 },
"groups" : [ "anvil" ]
}
AND SAVE THE FILE as "itemname.recipe" , take the file and place it in \Starbound\assets\recipes\starter\anvil
now go to \Starbound\assets open the "player.config" and simply add in the tier 1 section
{ "item" : "ITEM_ID_HERE" }, below the [ (like that: http://prntscr.com/2a8l14 ) open your game, to an anvil and craft your item OH and look down in the "player.config" you will see the max health,energy,breathe,food... you can edit they up-to 9999

 

chainsaw is pointless... just set the block damage of the fishaxe to 100 and then use SHIFT click to chop trees..

 

Thanks this is really helpful, and this is coming from someone who has almost no modding experience ( i have attempted modding minecraft before but i didn't really succeed)

The devs have really nailed it and made it really easy to mod.
