Modding Discussion New Updates and how it affects you!

www.http://starbounder.org/ is the official wiki for starbound. I highly doubt it will help. We have people on here that dont even read the entire threads. They just say "I dont know if this has been asked before but... " and ask away. If people dont even check things like that, or for duplicate topics, I absolutely doubt they will be self-reliant enough to go to the wiki.

 

I'm aware of this. Just doing the changelog for my mod's last patch must have taken like an hour.

That is a lot of time, I know. I wasn't demanding that they did it though, I just wished they did do it. A person can dream

 

That's one job a source code management tool can do for you Any such tool has a feature to show a chronological list of changes that you have previously commited. You don't need a server for that. DVCS tools like Git and Mercurial can do that locally.

 

Ah, excellent, it works now. Thank you - I didn't realize there was a thread about this already. I will check more thoroughly next time before jumping to posting.

 

Not exactly sure what this means...if anyone could help out that'd be great..

Code:

Your item doesn't exist. What's with the random numbers behind the item name?

 

Does anyone know if it is now possible to remove an item from a mod without breaking character files that may have that item associated with it?

 

If you do, you will just get a Perfectly Generic Item as a result... so go for it.

 

I think I'm good with that. The issue is myself and another modder have used the same name for similar armor sets, and frankly, hers are better.

So I'm thinking of removing mine, but I don't want folks to suddenly experience the disappearing character issue. I'll obviously test myself, just wanted to see if there's anything remotely close to a "best practice" notion for going about this yet.

 

Profile ID for the forums. What do you mean it doesn't exist though, does that have to do with missing files or...?

 

It doesnt exist as in... it does not exist. Either you did not properly spell the name of the item correctly in your recipe file, or your item's name does not match.

 

Well thanks, finally figured out what I did!

I didn't add the .object extension to one of the files... boy that'll make you feel stupid.

 

I always copy a file of the same type even if it's one that has nothing to do content-wise; that way I never have problems with extensions.

 

I had this issue, it turned out to be a extra accidental space behind my file extension .sword it looked like this:
"tungstensword.sword "

But I was unable to see it until I rewrote the file name. So if your having a similar issue check that as well!

 

And? Looking at this thread helped me narrow down my problem, so if anyone else looks why not offer my personal experience?
