^also i fixed the village spawner and am working on ponex guard and merchant spawners.
Ive been reading about how the glitch and floran villages are spawned and the spawners are what make the humanoid npcs spawn.
this should help make it one step closer to ponex villages before new years.

 

Not really seeing what you did here, other than making manes and tails into items, which is not exactly an ideal solution from my perspective.

 

i think he was trying to make pony cosplay like times.
*shrugs* i dont know. i downloaded it but havent looked in it.

 

Will it be possible to make quad ponies as an alternative to anthro?

 

Just that, really. Cosmetic items, so you can wear the stuff that doesn't display right but give you stats, and still look the way you want; just as important, it offers full animation frames, so the mane/tail has some bounce to it. I felt like it was a neat trick and I wanted to see if anyone thought it was worth pursuing.

 

i think there are one or 2 here that are working on that not sure how far they are though

 

Ah, glad to hear it. I don't mind anthro, but given the choice I feel much happier as a quad.

 

Here is the post regarding it.

 

If you look a few pages back, I'm doing that right now. Sprite sheets and animation are mostly done, I'm currently finishing up the spaceship and will probably have a downloadable version later today.

It works, but it removes the ability to have alternate color schemes (or, if you do have multiple colors, it means a colossal number of items to go through), as well as the ability to have any kind of clothing. I don't feel that's worth it.

 

I think alot of people are intrested in quads, but i think anthro will have far few problems keeping up with the beta.
Quads will need lots of work to make armor work (if they can get it to work at all)
and with how small or huge changes happen with the beta patches seemingly every 2 days that sorta under taking may only have a true chance to thrive once we hit beta stage 2 or 3

i dont know they may have figure out an easyer way to get tit working. no one know its still to early

 

awsome to hear, excited to see, and cant wait to try it, i just hope the ship isnt as painful looking as the one for the the ponex

most likely going to be at work when you do upload it though

 

You can choose the color of your clothes at chargen, just like the color of your skin. I front-loaded the tech-demo with twenty different colors and it's all one config file on one item. As for clothes, it leaves the shirt and head slots wide open for Stuff, as well as the backpack slot. Still, you sound like you've got a solution of your own, so I'll wait for your release with interest!

 

Oh, I see That still runs into the problem of stats though, as anything you pick at character generation will obviously not scale well into the endgame. I currently plan to add horns, wings, and cutie marks as item equips (not optimal, but it was the best solution I could think of), which is why I can't put hair as an item. But although helmet = horn, chest = wings, pants = cutie mark may work, I'd like to be able to avoid putting anything in items altogether.

 

Well, this respawn animation's proving harder than I thought, though that's mostly due in part to not being able to get the program to do what I want it to. I have determined that I dislike spritesheet based animation. I can do it, I just gotta force my way through the first few frames, then I'm good.

 

Sure, which is why step 1 of this method is to always tuck whatever you take into your cosmetic slot, so it overrides your actual, stat-providing, not-drawn-for-quadruped equipment. That way you get to have your cake's stats and eat it too. I did try to think of a functional solution.

 

Do note that the game has appearance slots for gear, so you can keep the item that gives the visual effect in the appearance slot and the stat item in the equipped slot.

 

Hah, I completely forgot about that.

EDIT: Mod is up: http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?resources/ponybound.291/

 

Yay! the hardest part of the animation's done! now I just need to test it ingame so I can get the timing right and make sure the animation looks smooth.

 

Just wanted to let you know, Chand, that there's lots of people who appreciate your work and are hoping to see new content for the Ponex in the future. Don't let the other pony mods (Which are awesome!) discourage you from your work!

 

This is my mod of choice. Starbound is very much like star trek vs star wars in style. (all the sentient races are humanoid.) i do like quadrupeds but in this setting i prefer antro.
plus anthro means all the armor and mod added armor fit! Please keep up the good work!
