It's been a while!

I have been looking all around for a bit of help regarding how to implement new Weapon Abilities for a particular weapon you might've seen already craftable in the Ryophi mod- The Training Glaive, which is supposed to be the first in a series of polearms with a special ability. Unfortunately, I came into a big roadblock that stopped me from being able to make the weapon ability on my own, so I was searching through mods that had custom weapons, looking for how to implement my own ability- Which was hard, because a lot of mods out there use pre-established abilities in their code.

Eventually I found a very Helpful Thread [community.playstarbound.com] on the Chucklefish forums that got me in the right direction, and now the Somersault Slash is an actual ability in the game! You can check out my little demonstration of the ability Here! [www.tumblr.com]

### Crafting Update!

A couple of new furniture items up in this update! I wanted to also make sure that everything I've made with the spritework up to this point was craftable- So the chair, desk, and bed have been added as craftable objects for the Ryophi species!

There was also a mistake I made that resulted in the Tier 2 armor and a couple of clothing options not being craftable for the Ryophi (Unless you had admin permissions on), so those armors should now be actually makeable!

Finally, I did some spritework on a painting and a coat of arms item that can be placed on the background wall to display! These should be craftable as well- on the tier 2 and tier 1 furniture crafting stations, respectively!

Finally!

I finished up the sprites, descriptions, and edits for the Ryophi's second tier of armor- Tungsten and Leather stuff. They should be craftable at an anvil, just like any other species can do!

These should also start to appear on Ryophi NPCs in the world, as well- Of course, there'll still be those that have the incorrectly-placed, default armors, but that's sorta to be expected. Hopefully, with this little update, they'll at least be a bit more likely to have the intended armor sets!

Have fun with the segmented/centipede set~!

No serious updates this time around- However, I do want to take peoples' attention to the "Discussions" tab on this item's page, since I've recently set up a blog for the mod! You can check it out there!

I've also added a section for errors and issues- So I can keep a better handle on things I need to fix/work on!

Another bunch of Object Descriptions put out here! I forgot just how large the list of Starbound objects is- I'm only about 25% of the way through!

Now, though, there should be some more unique descriptions for Small People, Flower, Geodes, Foundry, Crystal, Eyeball, Sandstone, Flesh, Shadow, Cellular, and Bone Objects!

There's also the secret objects I looked at first before any other objects on the list, but I don't think anyone's actually found out what that secret object is- Or its implications with the Ryophi~

Hope y'all are still enjoying this little race of creatures! Until next update-

FURNITURE!!!

I don't have a lot of furniture done, but I'm happy to say that the Ryophi now have a table, chair and bed of their own style! I've also taken time to write the descriptions of each of the objects for the core species and Ryophi- Hopefully everything will be working on your end too!

I'm considering some wall decorations too- But haven't quite gotten to it yet. I'm not the best at pixel art, unfortunately- So they may take a bit of time!

But until then (Or whatever next update I come up with), enjoy! ryophiwoodenchair, ryophiwoodentable and ryophiwoodenbed are all now objects in the game with unique sprites (At least, I hope they're unique)!

Made a few more additions to the Ryophi's Codex entries- Some short diary entries that are from the perspective of a Ryophi explorer! They're very little things, but give a little voice to the species as well, which is nice!

Edited Interfaces, so that Tech Upgrade screens will now show the Ryophi's actual body, rather than just a generic, human body- Given that they Ryophi are serpentine, it just didn't feel right to leave them humanoid in Tech Upgrade interfaces.

Started working on a wooden desk and chair for the Ryophi- Hopefully going to make their collection of furniture and objects a little more diverse over time! To try and tap into that Ryophi mindset of adapting cultural ideas, I tried to emulate some of the concepts in other species' design into these two furniture pieces- Making little hooks on the edges, like the bone rib corners on Floran design, and also with the standard, wooden models from Apex furniture and such, while still keeping the design creatively unique! I hope they look nice-

A little bit of lore!!!

I figured I'd start writing a little bit more for the Ryophi- After all, what would they be in the world of Starbound if they were just a reskinning of the player and offered no sort of lore significance?

These aren't all the Codex Entries I have planned for them- Rest assured, I have a lot of thoughts in mind- But, rather than leave this silent for another few months while I complete them.

However, since I haven't worked on structures yet- And gods, I need to learn sooner or later from my friend who made the Mechit- They don't naturally spawn in. I have, however, tested, and you can spawn them in if you want to read it!

The commands are as follows:

/spawnitem ryophihistory1-codex
/spawnitem ryophiresearch1-codex

Both of these are a bit... long-winded, compared to most other Starbound codex entries- I'm a wordy writer, I can't help it- But, if you like the length to them, let me know! It was fun to write a 29-page codex entry for these guys, and while I will NOT make every codex entry that horrendously long, if it is enjoyed and appreciated then I definitely could make a couple more-

Anyways, happy holidays!!

This one's mostly for more item descriptions-

Hello again! It's been a while- I've died down on the hyperfixation for this mod, unfortunately, and I've been mostly taking time between developing a personal game on the side (One I'm really proud of so far!) and working my real-life job, so I'll probably be slowing down a LOT on updates here!

But I will say that more of the item descriptions have been added- And by the gods, I didn't realize how many different items were actually in this game and how many I'd have to write lines for;; This's gonna be a big ol' project once it's fully complete, but it's one I'm kinda hype for, honestly!

I've completed all the Avian descriptions, as well as Classic furniture, and through Items from Alien and Bioluminescent areas, as well as a few other, miscellaneous objects as I'm going down the list of all the items. Enjoy those little flavor texts!

This version implements the use of Tier 1 Armors- The basic, iron armor for the Ryophi. I started playing around with the concept for a while, and I think I like what it turned out to be! Even the headset- Which is supposed to be a bit of a mix of a few other species' head armors (On purpose! After all, the Ryophi are known for mixing cultures together~). Hopefully I released the update for the Armors properly- Let me know if any issues arise!
