Someone on reddit mentioned that. Two people in the thread mentioned it, but others had no problem. Dump it and craft another to replace it?

You shouldn't need to do this, if you just override the file in your mod directory it will do the same, but without completely switching what assets the entire game uses and potentially breaking future updates or getting reverted.

Do you know if you have to repack your mod files or is it just default assets? Cos I guess I could just leave default files somewhere unpacked for reference.

I'm having the same choppy slow-downs. There doesn't seem to be any change in disabling the Steam Overlay or switching between full-screen and windowed mode. It slows down at random, regardless of what creatures/buildings are on screen.

Whatever they changed internally totally broke the game for me. What a great update.

drat, they did a good job with the update. No slow-downs so far. The loading is so fast, I think they really nailed the asset loading part.

I haven't seen any new content, yet. I haven't even beaten the first boss yet.

Honestly, there isn't much new content. It really was just big engine changes in terms of making the whole "no more character wipe" thing. Pretty sure any "new content" they added was pretty last minute.

I have a feeling this is because of the new pak system, but the inconsistency is getting to me. I'm loving with the Mantizi to get them to work for this patch, and for some reason all of the clothes and armor have disappeared. At the same time, though, you have no problem spawning with your starter weapons and other stuff. It's only the armor that's messed up. Anyone know what changed with armor?

They were added last patch I believe, by one of the writers who wants to do something with them. They're just NPCs now, although you can get their head and wear it into battle.

Yes. They'd need to be updated regardless since the version changed from Angry Koala to Furious Koala (so you need to change that in your .modinfo file) but on top of that clothing doesn't seem to be working correctly and shows as perfectly generic items. Weapons seem to work fine though so who knows what will need fixing and what won't.

Open up your Log file in your starbound directory, and scroll down until the wall of text breaks. Look there.

My primary issue is, upon looking at working race mods like the Felins, their clothing and biz work. Then I load up my files right next to theirs, and I cannot see anywhere that's different enough to have mine not work.

Sorry, guy.
I know the game can load long, but I'm booting up for the first time after quitting/restarting steam and it gets past the Chucklefish Chuckle and then the loading screen and it sits there for like 5 min. I had to force quit (Mac).

Any ideas?

Is there a way in Steam I can confirm it updated?

Babe Magnet
Jun 2, 2008

If it's a mod, usually that means someone forgot a comma somewhere.

If you've got no mods, you can verify your cache or reinstall. Restart steam and try again first.

No, you don't need to repack files. I've just unpacked the files for reference and I've been creating mods in the old way with merge files as if the whole pak thing wasn't there.

The devs have said that the automatic loading of mods via pak files isn't in game yet but will be there "super soon". Once that's in, presumably you'll be able to package your mod files into a single file for distribution, but you'll probably still want to keep it as individual files when you're developing it.

Yeah, I just let Starbound run on it's Loading screen for like 5 min and it quits "unexpectedly" on its own. I am not sure where in Steam I can check to see if I'm on the current version?

Ah, on their page:

We’re aware there may be issues with a Steam update crashing the Mac build at the moment! It’s an issue with Steam– disable the Steam overlay to fix it in the meantime.

I just found my problem. In the old .head/.chest/.legs and whatever files there is a line like this:

quote:

"statusEffects" : [
{
"kind" : "ColdProtection",
"amount" : "1"

NOW you actually have to remove the "" from the amount number, leaving it like this:

quote:

"statusEffects" : [
{
"kind" : "ColdProtection",
"amount" : 1

That allowed my items to show up correctly.

Steven doesn't want me watching him sleep anymore.
There's a pretty good deal of content in this patch, too - the Glitch mech is freaking awesome. Looking through the files there's just a ton of random stuff sprinkled around, new monster parts, items, weapons, etc. The procedural "level design" seems vastly improved, it's way less sparse than it has been. I'd say there's a ton of new micro-dungeons, which is great underground.

A lot of the "behind-the-curtain" additions are also exposed to modders, meaning new options are opened up for mods. The "damage" folder is new, right? If so it seems the modders now have control over creating new types of damage. That may not sound exciting but every new tool available for modders is gonna make things that much better. I'm hopeful I may even be able to use this new feature to create bouncy objects, since it seems to let you define how knockback works for various types of damage.

It's sort of hosed right now, you have to unpack the assets into a new (non-existent) directory for it to work. Fix for that in the upcoming hotfix with the stuttering & spear-crash fixes.

You don't use it like that...you have to use it via the command line

so so to unpack you Shift right click in the win32 Dir and select "run command line here" then "asset_unpacker.exe "<YOUR STEAM DIR>\steamapps\common\Starbound\assets\packed.pak" assets"

and to pack up is the same thing but
"asset_packer.exe "<YOUR STEAM DIR>\steamapps\common\Starbound\win32\assets" packed.pak"
