So, I'm not aware if you all know, but I've been working on item generating programs that allow for easy ways to make new things in Starbound. Currently it only supports .item files, what would you like to see added to the list of generating possibilities? In case you're interested in checking out the program, go here: http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?resources/item-generator-modding-tool.2409/
I didn't know this, is actually amazing. There is an always boring part to me... merging the player.config And now more than ever since they made the merging even more troublesome.
I thought about that, but there is literally so many possibilities for player.config.patch files. Personally I use this website to generate patch code for me, then I just format it and toss it into the required file
You should be wary of that site. It doesn't handle complex patches well. Especially nested arrays. Instead of giving you a proper patch - it uses overwrite instead which would cause incompatibility with other mods.
A tool to create collision polys would be really great. I've used Grapher so far but its not really the best way to create collision polys. I've created a mockup how a good poly editor could look like:
Yeah, I encountered that a while ago. Instead of using anything nested I just do it one section at a time. Takes up a lot of time but it's good for double checking.
Writing it by hand is probably faster in the long run - I am planning on rewriting my tutorial to a more diagramatic colorful version where it will be a bit more easier to understand. But next few days busy with new years and all.
Maybe a Editor to create your own craftable blocks from Ingods and other Materials? (I dream of building an Background Gundam Image, but havn't found the right colorful blocks now...)
Oh god, I would do that but I absolutely hate dealing with reading/writing to image files in Java. It's something I've never gotten too involved in and I have almost no clue what I'm doing in there
Actually I kinda liked Crystan's idea and started doing something on Java aswell. I'm going slow since I'm doing a project myself and helping with another one, but It'll be done early January!
Nice! If you want any help shoot me a P.M., I can help with some other stuff besides writing to images.
