Supernorn I have a plat cert for you, but Idk how to get it to you.

Advise.

Also, we're all saying the game is dead ironically right? I'm starting to think people are being serious.

Supernorn, could I ask you to pass a question on to the rest of the team for me?
It would be really nice if modders could set masks on armor that hide the base playermodel like helmet masks do for hair. This way we could have stuff like cyborg tank treads or big goofy power armor without an arm or a leg poking through.
Is this something that would even be possible?

Hey Supernorn, I've been out of modding, do you know if the next one will change everything modding wise?

I feel like you can't mod for nightlies because everything is different now, and modding was like 99% of the fun I was getting from it.q

Supernorn MAY have me on ignore, so someone quote this at him or answer me, also I was serious about the plat.

Wait, this is the Moon.
How did I even get here?

Pillbug
Tiny programmable interfaces could be cool, but has any game ever managed implementing hacking minigames that was, well, enjoyable? At best I can think of it being busywork that doesn't make you want to swear at the screen just for it being there. I know my eyes don't play well with "Find the letters in the pile of letters that may or may not be moving" sort for example.

This is on top of the fact you wouldn't be able to quicksave before "Hack this to progress in the mission, or fail and make your life hell" mission hacks in starbound.

How could he have quoted you is he had you on ignore? Granted, I'm not up on the ignore button stuff.

From the last time I delved into the nightly files, and from what's been posted,

Theres a brand new system to replace the _merge functionality that's much more powerful and apparently more intuitive

Status effects are completely new

Some assets may be renamed

lua scripting was added to a bunch of things, and objects had some stuff added in their files for wiring

We got some more stuff to play with in regards to generated guns - they can take powerprojectiles now. It's the same system used to make the bow - click and hold to fire a different projectile. It can be used to make randomly generated bows, charge weapons, and or weapons with alternate fire modes. Look what Djinn did with his Peglaci mod if you wanna see all the cool things you can do with powerprojectiles

Monsters had a lot of things changed - parts actually define some of the stats of the monster and its abilities IIRC, so you can make a poison attack matched to a snake head or something. Also color pallets are linked to biomes

There's quests and a quest system now to gently caress with

We can do GUI things

Loot tables work differently and from what I saw, much better



If your mod didn't have a whole lot of _merge bits in it, or an excessive amount of assets, it should be easy to update it to the new version, and you've got a whole bunch of new poo poo to play with.

Not saying that I called it, but these were exactly the suggestions I posted earlier about random monster generation and I'm happy to know they're going in that direction. The next few days might just make me a believer again.

I wouldn't say you called it either because they've literally been talking about changing monsters to do that for months now. Before the last update, even. We bring this up every time we talk about monsters, lol

Can't wait for the update so I can get back to modding. All the new stuff will be cool too, I guess.

Yep, I look forward to it as well. I hope my friends have more stable performance with Starbound, since them being unable to join in MP sort of sapped alot of enjoyment from it for me

You probably think that's funny, but the only people who are going to keep supporting this game to any degree after release will be the ones who appreciate a platform that lets them easily mod in their own lovely homegrown yiff gypsies to use on erp servers for only fifteen twentyish bucks.

It works for skyrim. Thousands of gigs of elf boobs and dragon dicks in return for a couple of SPERGs and SkyRe's is a good trade by my book.

I don't understand the anger at the devs all of a sudden? Did they make fun of Goons or tell them they were not special fat pancakes or something?

When did the attitude change that everybody thought the game was going to turn into poo poo, I think I missed that meeting.
