Modding Help [Nothing]

No worries mate!

 

Has anyone figured out how to add that radial glow?? I am stumped

I figured out that the flames are created by adding the melting effectSource, the orange color has already been discussed, but that glow... it's not an effect, not a statuseffect, not a particle effect... any ideas?

 

Same here. We know the search parameters but dammit.

 

Yesterday one of the people I know who mod told me about his custom scythe.

He had said a few days earlier that he drew it and someone converted it into the game and changed the positions, and the other day he said that it will soon be removed because they are "going to limit the drawables to 10-30" and that his Scythe has about 300.
So they're all recolored pixels?
Maybe that's how they did to the wings.

 

"Drawables"?

Custom color remapping explains the bright color, but not the glow.

 

You know, like.

Code:

[
    {
        "image": "/items/swords/randomgenerated/bonesword/handle/1.png"
    },
    {
        "image": "/items/swords/randomgenerated/bonesword/blade/1.png"
    }
]

 

The game "draws" an item out of individual pictures (Random guns for example). I think the easiest way to get that glow would be to use the ash particles and make them a transparent orange, but I'm not sure if it is possible to change transparency yet.

 

I understand that is a directive, like ?replace.

New problem: the wings are semi-animated. If you jump, they flap. This would mean the transparent orange ash particles hypothetically forming the glow would remain in the upright position as the wings go down.

 

Maybe there is a way to change the drawables based on the player state? I'm fairly certain there's not, but it is still a possibility.

 

It seems unlikely.

 

One thing that is certainly possible is the custom weapon in the OP. Recentally people were making "goatse" weapons using the previously mentioned ash. Tiy stated he was going to make a limit on drawables due to this aswell.

 

That's horrible. And y'know what else is horrible? That limiting the amount of drawables will not deter these people. Just give them time and they'll come up with something.

 

Hmm, I knew using drawables was possible, but it seems like quite the workaround for something this simple. I can't think of any other way it could be done though.

 

Here's an idea: edit the player inventory to have one pair of bat wings for each effect. With the player in one spot on the screen and the inventory window in another, you can now quickly scan the visuals of each effect without having to restart.

 

Hmm if you liked my alt Amaterasu the Sun Goddess.

Then take a look at my Main ShiniKaze.

Once more everyone join in!

 

Woah cool! How do I do that?
Can you give me the mod??

 

Damn I'm so jelly.
Tell me how.
plz
plz respond

 

To color use SBSE http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?resources/sbse.1330/

The rest is done in Starcheat as to that glow you mentioned I wont say...

The weapons I will never say as I'm a mod on a server and I have to deal with this due to that system

Not to worry as it has no pics in the thread that shows any of it...

 

So the weapon is drawables. That solves ONE mystery.

 

Haven't messed with it or tried so not sure if it will work, but what about the code;

Code:

"lightColor" : [78, 202, 223], 

like used in projectiles for an innate glow.

Did some more research, the lightsaber mod seems to do what you want the wings to do, here's a quote from a post about him figuring it out and the code that worked for him. Also check his mod, maybe this will help.
