RELEASED WIP: The Viera of Ivalice 0.3.2

fun fact, mid beta we had a shield tech and energy restore tech (kinda pointless now) and a health regen tech...all removed for some reason.

But yea it would actually!

 

Are there any good places to learn to help design mods? I mean I'm a novice programmer myself, but I'm unsure if I could help. I'd like to help cause I really love this mod and the direction it's going. If the ideas you have planned come into existence it would add a whole new level of depth to the game.

 

Oh I will push myself profusely to make these ideas a reality, you can count on that ^_^ I could suggest some tutorials on mod making here. Although, I learned all that I know from just reshaping existing files to suit my needs. Have you ever made any modded objects/items? If not you should totally give it a go!

I've honestly thought about seeking help for a while, as I'm a one-person team, who always has too many goals lol. I'm just on the fence about it because I never work with others really. I may consider out-sourcing for help though ^_^

 

You sir. You have taken a bit of my idea and made it great. Frey, we need to talk.

 

Sorry for my silence lately >_< I set myself to offline on Steam so I could focus on the ship. Presuming this is Angel from Steam, right?

 

Nah nooooo not at all, yeh no it's me But yeh had an idea thanks to Gratuitous Lurking and was going to chat with you about something I think I can actually do if you help me figure out how to xD

 

Oh dear, what have I done

 

Nothing, just that I am pretty sure if he helps me figure out how to get started I may be able to do the coding bit for his spells and what not. Because I have never done this type of coding before, I kinda need a guiding hand for a bit Maybe later on add in custom stuff, but I am really interested in the whole materia/crystal/blank materia idea along with various spells linked to said thing. And since the first classes include White Mage, what better time than to start off making some heal magick, a few buffs and debuffs, and maybe even a Holy Because I can legit see Holy being used in Starbound logic as Gods Orbital Laser Strike

 

Meanwhile, while Frey works on the ship, I am trying to piece together a pseudo FF12 tribute in where I make a small (kinda large) Viera esk tower under a few floating islands and cities. Keep getting side tracked though... But thanks to another mod I think I have found a good way to make it more "levitating" than hey its just branching out of this tower. Still getting with the modder on that one, but so far it is coming together pretty well ^^

 

Commence Exterminatus

 

First look at the new Magicite Crystal ore! Next to errrm Lenneth in the image is a large crystal formation you'll come across deep underground, along with a smaller formation. It is primarily mined from the walls (foreground & background) like all other ores. As it will be a source for a great deal of future Viera crafting (as well as their proposed fuel source), it is very plentiful underground, but mainly at the lower depths close to the planet core. It glows, so it's very easy to find, as both the ore and formations glow! This was a fun and quick implementation, but I may tweak the images a bit before release.

 

Ahhhh, Those micro-dungeons take up surface world-space, (going by the ones shown on the mod page) so if they spawn, that's less possible room in which to spawn a Viera village. (or any other village)
Anything that adds "surface" structures is going to affect the chances.

But at least you found one! Good work!

 

Hmm, that makes sense. Looks like it is best to uninstall that mod, since those micro-dungeons appear quite often.

Arrrh, the missions added by this mod crash my S.A.I.L.
Is there any save editor to erase those mission from a .player file?

 

Hey there. I saw somewhere that you were hoping to possibly implement Vieran towns on Ocean worlds. I played a game (for about 5 min as it was kinda boring) called Ocean Tower. The game did have some cool art that I thought might serve as inspiration as the design of the tower was quite beautiful and suited to the Viera with some tweeking. Rather than sprawling acrossed a land mass, a Vieran tower could be created above and below the water level. Just a thought

 

Thank you for sharing! If anyone has any other ideas for villages or other spawnable locales, feel free to share ^_^ I love brainstorming!

This is lovely! I'm thinking even more greenery covering an epic tower ^_^ I'm also imagining villages strung across chains of green islands too...although I think I said that already >_< lol I can't wait to get back to building locations!

 

I'm not too sure. I did see this tutorial on the forum though: Opening .player File
Hope that helps you!

 

Thank you! I get rid of those missions and can open the S.A.I.L. again.

 

Well as is I am still working on a tower made from assets your mod has. Including one from another guy I have been chatting with. Currently trying to figure out the Vieran NPC spawners... Wonder if I am missing something... But so far I have a pretty hollow large tower that has a gravlift that goes up to this base I am going to use for a town/city thing. Making the base out of the dark mahogany and going to use the white for the floating town/city. Could show you eventually, maybe get some tips on how to improve. I think I will have to rework the tower because as it is atm it just makes me feel like I made a weird empty warehouse

 

Took me a bit to figure it out too, you have to use either the male or female "GenderModifier" and one of the Feol, Veena, or Rava "RaceModifiers", along with a colony deed.

If they've got a bed, a door, a light, sealed-in walls, a colony deed, one GenderModifier, and one RaceModifier, BLAM! you've got your chosen Viera.

and I'm still stunned at how little space they actually need for the basic tenants, but then again, I did cram 'em into a cargo-hold.
I'm sure merchants will take up at least a bit more.

Minor Edit! I forgot they'll need a lightsource too!

 

ah, forgot the deed. Will try it out later, and maybe see about adding some screen shots of what I currently have. To used to Terraria where they just auto do that stuff Had a nice lil room set up with bed, chair, table, light, and a few other things then was like "why isn't a male/female spawning " cycled through each other the spawner types and both male and female lmao.
