Broken memories does more damage, the projectile is different, and the blade glows brighter. So YES it's worth the upgrade if you like this weapon.

Anyone know the difference between the base Project 42 and the Broken Memories version of it?

good mod TY

Thank you for making it and sharing it generously! This cool sword directly changes the entire combat experience of the game.
I had a lot of fun using this sword in the castle defense battle

@Aikiro42 I will.Thanks.

I think I remember already giving someone permission to do that, and I think I remember having seen a Chinese translation of the mod.

Please do your best to avoid duplicate translations and coordinate with someone who already made a translation of the mod. If that isn't possible, you have my permission to upload your own translation, but please specify the version number of this mod for which you're making a patch for.

Can I translate it into Chinese（by patch）and upload it to Steam?

Does this mod compatible with FU?

Memories broken, the truth goes unspoken
I've even forgotten my name
I don't know the season or what is the reason
I'm standing here holding my blade

A desolate place (Place)
Without any trace (Trace)
It's only the cold wind I feel
It's me that I spite as I stand up and fight

The only thing I know for real
There will be blood
Shed

Essentia+ and this is pretty op... (Kill punchy with altfire)

1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=42

Thanks for the reply, and good luck on the exams/studying!

Hi @Mr. Run It Down, apologies for getting back to you late; when univ hell week ends I'll add a discussion detailing the primary and alt ability fields of the weapon so that people can more easily balance the weapon themselves

I'll rework this weapon once I've released the current project that I'm working on here

Oh, also the dodge feature on the sword I wanted to tone down greatly, but I can't seem to find that code either. The stamina usage is very low, which allows you to basically fly if you get enough vertical height to spam the dodge infinitely.

Sorry for the walls of text. Love the mod, just trying to tune it down to be balanced for a reasonably challenging playthrough. Thanks

Okay so I figured out how to tweak most of it - the only parameter I can't seem to find is the movespeed/jump bonus and the health regen rate when holding shift. I also wanted to take off the blocking ability the sword has (the yellow bar overtop) while attacking, as it seemed to basically make you invincible as long as you kept clicking, but could not find that either.

I would greatly appreciate pointers in the right direction to get this super toned down version functional so I can play with it. Thank you.

Is there any way to edit the mod's damage numbers? I absolutely love the sword, but it's completely broken balance wise. I'd like to lower the damage numbers on the abilities and regular attack significantly so I can use this in my playthrough without destroying the balance of the game.

nice TY

A work of art.

Fucking turbo killer... TURBO TURBO KILLER

Yes, it was intentional - in retrospect it was bad design because I didn't incorporate max energy into more dps options besides the damage of parried projectiles.

Thanks for pointing that out - I'll see if I can find the time to update this mod and rework how energy is used with this weapon.

All attacks with it take a percentage of energy rather than just a pure amount, so extra energy does nothing. Is this intentional?

@Aikiro42 Hey, thanks for the speedy response! I figure I didn't notice the changes due to the numbers being kind of all over the place with the blade increasing damage based on health lost. Nice to know that the combo counter does affect things, after all! I'll be sure to experiment more now that I'm aware of what it does.

If you ever feel like it, it would probably help anyone who gets the mod in the future if this info on the combo counter can be found in the weapon abilities tab.

Thanks again for making such and unique weapon. Probably the most fun I've ever had in Starbound. Fighting the Swansong with nothing but this blade is one hell of an experience, lol.

(2) Depending on how high your power is, the damage may be capped by the game. I've observed this behavior while I've been working on my current project: if an attack is strong enough and doesn't ignore defense, the attack usually gets capped to 1000 or 2000 damage. (Disclaimer: I use starextensions, and idk if that really affects the damage cap)

Try limiting your power or using a damage uncapper mod (or a mod that changes how damage reduction is computed) and see if the damage numbers are calculated correctly; otherwise, it may be a bug - I plan on revisiting this mod once I release my current project, which will take a while to finish.

Cheers!

(1) Hi @Elldar, thanks for the question!

Each combo count supposedly increases normal attack damage by 1% per combo by default. If the max combo counts of the base and upgraded version are 12 and 42 respectively, then normal attacks and heavy attacks (projectile and direct hit) deal x112% and x142% more damage @ max combo, ignoring other factors like critical damage and lack of energy.

Hey, awesome mod! It just about blew my mind when I've started playing with and it's basically the only weapon I use now, but I do have a question, if you don't mind. Is there some purpose to the combo counter, or is it primarily for flair? The weapon abilities page isn't really clear on what it does and I haven't seen it increase damage in the game, itself. I would presume it's meant to empower the ranged attack, since it resets the counter when used, but either the difference in damage is miniscule or it doesn't actually affect it.

Thanks in advance, and thanks for the absurdly fun weapon!

@Eggward send me the log file (and ping me) in #mod_dev in the starbound community discord

For some reason my game crashes everytime this mod is installed anyone know why please tell me

Perfectly balanced.

the hyperlight hud is one of the rare finds
almoste complete hud use if not indeed is (dont remeber if the bar with quests and stuff in the right is changed

Thanks.

I was (and stil lam) using the Hyper Light Drifter HUD - it should also be here on the steam workshop

Anyone have any idea what UI this dude was using? Mob HP UI looks sick in the vid.

My memories are truly broken.

When the character is looking to the right, the position of the sword is strange Any guesses?

Best wapon mod ever created for starbound. Fun, effective, versetile, cool, creative... somewhat balanced(at least you arent oneshoting everything). Best for the late game, and it even helps you travel waaaay faster (cince the rmb teleport is limited only to your screen, by maxing out the zoom and getting ur cam all the way to the left you can pass miles in 1 click), witch even better for a late game and someone with a lot of hours in sb. I was playing as a "guns only" character this time, but i coudnt resist of using this thing, so now its "project 42 only", i guess...

Fool,you would know if you've ever wielded the blade that:

The only one left will ride upon the dragon's back,because mountains don't give back what they take.
(P.S: If you think things are too easy,here's an easy difficulty tweak; Take off that def 999+ armor and go full glass canon)

Not recommended: A cheating weapon that defeats the purpose of the game and breaks the rules of the game! This weapon is extremely difficult to acquire, and in return for a single kill damage! Right click accumulator attacks can do amazing damage, the original boss is almost seconds to death and knife! Even the enemies in fu mod are fleeting!! The Energy barrier can withstand and bounce back from any attack and is indestructible (even though it punishes the player when used, it can't hide how powerful it is!).
Many players cheat to get this weapon, from now on, the player will be goodbye to the game!
If you don't want to ruin the next few thousand hours of your playtime with this weapon, don't use it!

Could you do the 3 katanas from the game ''Akane''? it's similar to katana zero but top down @Aikiro42

I'll post an update on this mod plus a clear description of Broken Memories when I find the time; I've started on another project some time ago and I'd like to finish that first before I come back to this

@bwreofkappus
If i'm not wrong,it drastically lowers the amount of health drained via right click,and maybe also the energy used in left click.
Damage might be increased too,but it seems that the amount of crit percentage stays the same.

in future , can you make some kind of this set weapon ? i'm interesting how it work if it isn't sword. maybe a handgun , assault rifle. something like that ?

what exactly does upgrading to "Broken Memories" via treasured trophies change about the weapon... what does it do versus the base weapon and is it a worthwhile investment.

nice mod

I don't the season...

i even forgotten my name...

The truth goes unspoken...

Memories broken...

How do i crfat the sword

Could you make a shirasaya (white wooden sheath katana) version of this? i would really love to see a beautiful shirasaya katana with these movesets and and combos!

show me a good time Jack!
