Modding Help [Nothing]

Tried to reproduce it on my testing bat wings, giving it a lightColor and flicker keys. It doesn't seem to work on costume parts...

 

I will probably go in an try out the laser swords at a later date, but from what I see and what I have been testing, that will not work for what we want. The "glow" status effect only creates an aura of light around the general area. What we want is to create a glowing rim of light around the object itself.

So the other problem with using drawables for the wings is that drawables are only used for weapons. I guess you could make them work if you used custom drawables for a shield...

 

i been looking into this and i found out some weird codes like this

Code:

    {
        "duration": 10000,
        "effectSources": [
            "burning"
        ],
        "initialTick": false,
        "interval": 1.0,
        "kind": "testburning",
        "mainInterfaceIcon": "/interface/statuses/fire.png",
        "primitives": [
            {
                "name": "periodic"
            }
        ],
        "tick": {
            "statusEffects": [
                {
                    "amount": 10000,
                    "damageKind": "testburning",
                    "kind": "directDamage"
                },
                {
                    "kind": "glow"
                }
            ]
        }
    }
]

which i follow later to use in game well it at first u had it at 0 damage but i wanted to kill my self in mines so i can quicky get to my ship and it did the glow effect and small fire particles so it a small code area just put it in status effects area

 

So, that last code works for what we want? I am really interested in hte glowing thing and in custom armors and Scythes. I'm a noob at modding and etc @.@

 

Nah, from what I can see, that last code does the same thing that I have gotten every time I add the "glow" status effect. It just creates a dispersed area of light around the character rather than a rim of light around the object.

 

I know how to create a armor that iluminates the room, it's adding the glow effect, but what I want, and I guess, you, and everyone else wants to know is the other thing. The guy that came here with his characters could just say what is needed for the glow ar least. Sigh.

 

So, as far as I know this could be done using normal JSON, tough I don't have any skills referring to that. Like, anyone could do this, and it seems to be super easy, the hard thing is to find out how.

 

I think I got the glowing effect. You can add on a border to images. I'm using starcheat so my maleFrames and femaleFrames for batwingsback looks like this. "back.png?border;amount, amount;hexcolor;hexcolor"

I used heinermann's post at the bottom of that page to figure it out. Thanks!

 

Nice, thanks for sharing this (to heinermann as well). Hopefully this information can now become more readily available to everyone. Good job on solving the mystery.

 

Dang, that's fantastic! Great find! There is so much more that you can do with the code heinermann shared than just a simple glowing border as well.

 

Confirmed.

 

im still confused on how to make the added glow...

 

@Kawa, is that a plushie version of yourself on that shelf?

 

Yup, part of his/her felin mod.

 

Code:

            {
                "name": "batwingsback",
                "count": 1,
                "data": {
                    "directives": "?replace;d54e4e=676f83;ad1c1c=3d3d51?border=3;d54e4e80;d54e4e00"
                }
            }

Similar for the clothes.

 

Is starcheat being used to add these borders? Or is this asset editing? Could more elaboration on the process be posted?

 

As Kawa already said, you need to

1. Get Starcheat
2. Import your player file to JSON (somewhere NOT in the game directory)
3. Open it
4. Scroll down past the blueprints part until you fins a line that says "equipment". There you should see also the clothes your character is wearing.
5. If you want to add the glow,

Code:

 {
                "name": "batwingsback",
                "count": 1,
                "data": {
                    "directives": "?replace;d54e4e=676f83;ad1c1c=3d3d51?border=3;d54e4e80;d54e4e00"
                }
            }

If you look look closely, there is ?border after the color. You replace the colors to whatever you like (you can do it here). ?border=x means how big the border should be. I don't recommend putting it bigger than 4, because it will be too big and ugly C:

 

Specifically, the extra 80 and 00 at the end of each color value are alpha, which makes the inside part roughly 50% translucent and the outside fully so.

 

why you should make people jealous not that am impressed but
your whole group of wannabe neon dudes Should stop showing your armor and if you are man enough then share it with people that like your wannabe armor

 

He/She doesn't have to tell people how he/she creates her shit just to show that he's "man enough".

And having cool modded shit makes people jealous, that's obvious.
I doubt that he just has it to make people jealous.
