idea:

An item like the Commanding Hand that orders a crewmember to examine an object, so you can see what they have to say about it, if anything.

There's a mod that makes crew occasionally examine things, but it'd be cool to have more control over it, for fun.

@Idola Hello, that depends on how they are made, I would have to take a look. Good news is that I was waiting for KDE Plasma (the desktop I use on Linux) to push an update to fix the annoying bugs I'm having, which finally happened on May 6th. And it got to the Arch repos a couple of days later. After my stream tomorrow I should update my system, do some backups and hopefully I will be ready to work on this again.

This mod is great, but it's unfortunately incompatible with Arcana's crewmembers, probably because their base is "arcana_crewmember".

Is it possible to make a patch for that?

Which by the way, I said I wasn't gonna stream, but in the end I think I will, I'll just change the game to something more suitable. Because my mind is racing these days.

@Mabra Hello. Thanks for the feedback. I will keep it in mind. And I guess I will take the chance to give a bit of "good news". And that is that after my stream this weekend, I should be back to working in this project. I will see some adjustments, finish the current feature I was working on, and evaluate a move to OpenStarbound.

The reduced teleporting is more of an annoyance than anything, as crewmembers often get stuck far away.

More unrelated news! I will be streaming some Sonic nostalgia tomorrow Jan 31st at 21:00hrs CST. Went to watch the Sonic 3 movie and man did it give me the mood boost I needed. https://www.twitch.tv/corbentfrost

As I am clawing my way back and trying to recover my life... the channel has a new banner! Progress... /sigh https://www.youtube.com/@Corbent-Workshop

Hello guys. This is unrelated to the mod, but something fortuitous happened and I made a video to collaborate on a Vtubing guide for Linux. My video is about getting full body tracking working for FREE in 20 minutes! Maybe someone here can find this useful or interesting.

Specifically no. But it might be something the custom race does.

Thanks @AgentKirin

The mod doesn't make crew immortal. As for the UI not working, could be an issue oSB, but I don't think I can troubleshoot issues with that yet.

Oh, and another thing. The Crew Manager UI never works/pops open. I'm betting it's because of either Open Starbound or a mod conflict that I'm unaware of. Or maybe it only works with Stardust? Either way, doesn't seem to pop up at all.

By chance, does this mod give crewm8s immortality? One of my crew took a dip in a pool of lava for over a minute and she's not dying.

@Corbent Always glad to spread the joy of Open Starbound! o7

As always, take your time and don't rush. Prioritize your wellbeing first and foremost. We Starbounders are a patient bunch after all (been playing on and off since 2018).

@][FABER][ Hello. Stardust is only for the quickbar indeed. However let me tell you that you don't know how thankful I am for this post. I had not seen the open Starbound project and now that I checked, it sounds awesome and just what I need to unlock the potential in this mod. I will keep it in mind when I continue adding features.

Also my absence has been a lot longer than anticipated, I am really sorry about this but many really bad things happened. I think I am almost out of the woods and I intend to make my return with a video explaining the whole ordeal, my plans for this mod and a couple of other projects that I want to start as well.

It seems like I will be having much more time in my hands. (Spoiler alert: things got so bad that I lost my job, but more on that when I make that video). I am doing fine regardless, don't panic guys!

Do I really need Stardust? What's the dependencies for Stardust? If it's just for the quickbar, I have oSB for that.

@Corbent Yo ya sabes que uso tu mod porque es top para mi y no recibo ese error, tengo casi 200 mods ya, pero se que mods pueden causar problemas con el tuyo y cuales no porque "me molesto en mirarlo antes".

Puedo decir con una certeza del 100%, que los errores de ese log de abajo no existen para mi, el único error que recibo de parte de tu mod es uno que puede ignorarse y que por algún motivo está relacionado con que "no reconoce el icono de las manos y va a usar uno por defecto", pero el icono se ve en el juego, por lo que ese error simplemente lo ignoro.

I just checked the source code. Skill cooldown is set at 60 seconds. Those messages are normal, I placed them precisely to give more insight into what's going on. Seems good to me. It sends the message to trigger the skill and no errors are thrown. Maybe some other mod makes changes to the follower behavior tree. That could be another cause.

How many seconds is the skill cooldown?

I keep getting this every time I click my crewmember with the command hand. Nothing happens.

@CaptainCrazeh Hello. Sorry for the absence. Haven't logged into Steam for a few days, "dealing with some stuff". I am not sure what could cause that. Are you sure it's off cooldown when you reuse it? In any case, logs would be helpful.

Edit: quitting the game and re-joining allows use of the crewmate's skill. But then I have to quit and re-join again.

Hey it's me again. So I'm still having issues with activating my crewmember's skill. It works sometimes, mainly right after beaming down to a planet. Then the second time and afterwards it does nothing. I click on my crewmate but nothing happens. I have no idea what could be causing this.

@浮生瞥尔 Thank you! Your support is very appreciated. It has taken me a long time to come back to add the pending features. Haven't felt focused. I hope I am able to finish with my new house soon. Repairs have taken longer than anticipated. My current environment is not great for work. I hope to retake this project soon.

Good compatibility with fu and Crew Customization+ and Multiplay.
和fu还有Crew Customization+兼容性良好, 多人游戏也是如此.

Thank you very much for your efforts.

Unrelated to the mod but I'm having a live-stream tomorrow night. Learning new skills as usual. Nothing too serious but decent production value, there's a reveal and everything. haha

Hahahaha, there is a chance, yes.

I take it you're on the mend. Huzzah! Any chance you may have time to look into integrating the Galaxy in Conflict crew custom bases?

To anyone who still reads this section, I uploaded a fix for the Item Frames mod here:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3130002733

Buuuh!!, translation killer (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ ( )

No problem. Glad to help.

Yay, thank you for fixing those! ♥

Updated just now. Fixed compatibility issues with mods that alter dialogues. Did some testing and it seemed fine but let me know if something went wrong or I missed a spot.

@Mister Soyka Hello. I don't make any changes to crew member limits (active or inactive), so using this mod alone it stays as 2/12. It should work fine with mods that alter these numbers. I know it works with Earth's Finest that increase active crew to 4.

However, regardless of how many crew members your setup supports you can only give orders to the first 2 with the hotkey or the basic one-hand item, and 4 with the two-handed item. Limitations of this game's mod support.

Geek's crew alter's some stats and I also make some stat changes (although mine are very minor). The stat changes that will apply depend on which mod is loaded last.

How many crew members are supported to be with you and on the ship? And also will it conflict with geek's crew?

@Jill sandwich Hello. It's stated in the description that the game doesn't support custom hotkeys. There are three kinda hidden tech related hotkeys that a lot of mods make use of. And they will cause trouble with each other. One such mod is RPG Growth. And recently this one as of the last update. That's why I was hesitant to make use of the hotkeys for so long. But I added them as I supposed that players are free to make their choice.

For those who have conflicts with hotkeys, they can use the hand item instead. Not optimal but better than nothing.

I wish this game had better mod support.

There is a problem with this and RPG growth, the 3 special key wich use the same hotkey didn't work. I had to unsuscribe and suscribe again and now it works..

But there is still and issue there that bound this two mods, because if i try to change the hotkey for either of one it won't save and both mods still shares the same hotkey after restarting. For example if i change CIC hotkey for "P" the 3 special key for RPG growth also has the same key after restarting.

Edit: So in short there is no way to assign different keys for CIC or RPG growth 3 special key no matter what i do. The only good thing is that for some reason resubing to this mod in my already created world, fixed the RPG special 3 key to at least work now. But the issue with the hotkey still remain and the hotkey for CIC never worked for me.

The patch can wait. I wish you well with your surgery!

@kenanthebarbarian Ohhhh... I see. It shouldn't be hard to make a patch for it. Like frackin universe. I will put that on the list. As I mentioned in an earlier post I am temporarily not working on the mod as I am up for eye surgery. Thankfully next week at last (I mean, scary, but at the same time I'm glad we are getting it sorted out). Will be back when I complete my recovery.

Oops, I meant GiC (the Galaxy in Conflict mod). Commanding Hand doesn't work on that mod's crew NPCs.

I conferred with one of that mod's devs and was told GiC crew use "custom bases (but do not affect the crew LUA), so they aren't affected by JSON patches that only affect the vanilla code bases."

It's a bummer, because GiC is more tactical than vanilla, so issuing crew commands would be extremely useful.

@kenanthebarbarian Well. First what is CiG and what is the problem you are having?

Any idea why this wouldn't work with CiG crew members?

Unfortunately I don't know of a way to handle click or hotkey events without resorting to using an item or tech. Even the wizard behind the Futara Dragon mod uses items and techs.

You should make this work with the default cursor instead of an item.
Maybe click or drag a box over the crew you want to order and them click on something else.

LOL Sorry for the lack of updates. Life kinda sucks at the moment. But the mod is not forgotten, this is one of my favorite games.

Most recent of life's shenanigans, don't like to talk about these things but whatever, I have an eye surgery scheduled near the end of the month. Last year I had an issue on the left eye, now it's the same thing on the right eye. C'est la vie. Good news is that the last one was a complete success so I'm not as worried this time around, everything should be fine. Recovery is torture though.

So the bad news is that I can guarantee that there will be no updates for a couple of months! Hahaha

Corbent has very good ideas for this mod, but he has little desire and little motivation, give him a try, demand more functions, let's see if he reacts this way

This is a must have when adding or removing crew members from the party, its was a royal pain to chase them all over the ship with out this mod!!

@blake Did you do this exactly?

1- Being on the ship, we let go of our companions so that no one accompanies us.
2- We go down to a planet and come back up.
3- We take 2 companions again (any 2 companions) and go down to a planet again, the same one as before.
4- It should work.

That corrects the error for me.
