@Kasplodicus - having the same problem but with crew members. :/

were do you craft the tools for the shrinking and growing?

Starbound seems to not be saving my characters heights anymore. When I reload the game, they are reset, and when I use the Fermion Resizer, it just assigns them a random height.

how exactly do i set a species' default size range? I'm using the irken mod and irkens typically are rather small.

Any chance of unlocking more size options past 87 and 350?

I doubt it can "erase" the save file unless the mod is uninstalled. From my understanding, a property attached to the player needs to become nil for Starbound to hide a player. Getting shrunk to zero size won't make anything nil, I'd only suspect it to cause runtime errors like dividing by zero (game would error out after loading the save).

But again, I've never had that issue crop up on its own, so I'm sorry to say I can't help with debugging it.

the character shrink bug, yeah. one person mentioned it erased their save file

What exactly do you mean by 'character erasure bug'? The only thing I'm aware of is when you uninstall the mod, Starbound itself is too stupid to handle missing mod data, so it hides (not deletes) the character. That can happen with the uninstallation of any mod that attaches a status or the like to a player. If you ever experience this, you can probably see what's causing it in starbound.log.

But again, that's only for uninstalling. The only other thing I can guess is the character constantly shrinking, but that doesn't quite sound like an erasure bug (and I've never experienced that without invoking it myself).

please im trying to get this mod added to a server because other character scaling methods are going to make me die of blood loss from ripping my hair out and unfortunately the owner doesn't want to risk it

did you ever fix that weird character erasure bug thing?

I see, maybe it is my cpu chocking on this game after all, oh well not the hardest problem to solve. Thanks and sorry for nagging you.

It's when a crew member asks the player for the confugred size (when you set a custom size for them)
Sometimes it fails, there is no harm.

Any idea what's causing this error? Trying to pin it down because it's periodically causing microfreezes for me when I'm on a crewed ship.

"[Info] Error while asking the player for a crew body size: Unknown entity"

Thought it'd be due to a missing patch for the species I'm running, but after making one the error persisted. My next best guess is OpenStarbound, which wouldn't be great if so.

Moving the item sell location can be done, but not adding it to the quickbar because it's the item that sets the info to be edited.
A separate mod can be done to apply it on player spawn, it's not included because it can cause crashes.

I have two admittedly small nitpicks I'd like to request if at all possible.
First, could the items of the mod be moved from Infinity Express to Penguin Bay? (If no custom shop or npc is ever added for the items themselves)
Infinity Express is already a popular shop mods like to add various items to, making it quite a long list with tons of mods. But also it is a bit weird for a general store to be selling tools to alter the sizes of people. Where it might make more sense for it to be sold by a black market vendor who isn't actually given love by modders and generally doesn't have much stock to begin with.
Second, could this mod get built in quickbar support? It would help circumventing needing to get to the outpost if you wanna adjust the size of a new character. As well as making it a bit more convenient with deaths not keeping sizes.

yo can this work with opensb?

Taking a glance at that mod, it's probably overwriting the same size scaling of this mod. StarExtensions already adds a breathing idle animation, so you don't really need Futara's mod if that's all you wanted. But if it does other things you like, then I guess you'll have to pick one or see if you can toggle off any size scaling the other mod does.

Nevermind i think i found it, probably, it doesn't work for me probably because i have a mod called Futara's Dragon Life Character Animation active. Seeing as that adds and changes sprites i guess.

Not sure if it should save client side, after letting go of item my size resets, but im either in the floor or floating. Also not sure if this is an already known bug, thought i should mention anyways.

Can't use the fermion resizer on myself, and trying to use it on an npc pops up the menu with "no npc in range" displayed, and no other buttons but to close the menu. the shrink rays work fine on other npcs tho

Healthiest internet modding community

you’re absolutely right, I apologize.

Please don't be like that. No modder likes to be told what they "need" to do with their free mod.

felmast you need to look into the problems of this mod man

I've noticed that when a player respawns after dying, their size isn't reset to what I had configured. It's quite inconvenient to manually use the Fermion Resizer each time. Could you consider updating the mod to support this feature?

also a reset size option for crew customization would be nice

i noticed that some weapons (probably modded ones) reset my size to the default. this was happening with the cigarette from galaxy in conflict and a weapon from arcana

ah sorry for the late reply, but the bug occurs when size is changed multiple times by clicking the arrows on the slider or by manually dragging it over nodes.

how can i change my character's body size

fermion resizer broke

Crouching needs to let the vanilla collision exist for a frame before the size mod can multiply it. According to a code comment, it needs to be this way.

nope, nevermind, not an interaction with that mod.

when small, has anyone noticed you start hopping when you crouch? or is that an interaction I need to iron out? if the latter, I may have an idea which mod is causing it. it's the mod where the platforms act more like how they work in terraria (slow down at every platform instead of just falling past)

The character isn't exactly deleted, rather Starbound is hiding the save because a status on the character is nil or something. You can probably see what's causing it in starbound.log. The game has some pretty terrible error handling with mods in general since it thinks a fail state is better than removing the invalid item. Unfortunately, cleaning the save of the error requires replacing the mod's files with dummy scripts that delete themselves, which is asking a lot from anyone.

I'm guessing the shrink glitch is happening because of some behind the scenes status stacking. I had the opposite problem of constantly growing when I was making a custom status, and in order to fix it I switched my code to "replace" mode. To the author, it's apparent the "modify" mode needs a bit more debugging. To Myahster, I know everything I just said probably doesn't help you, and I'm sorry for that.

Oh yeah, sorry. Did I mention it deletes the character?
Because it does. That bug outright deletes the save file.

Yeah the bug where your player shrinks infinitely while using the tool to change yourself, and the game closes is pretty dire. And apparently that can also just happen at random as well.

You basically shrink down into a singularity, causing a black hole takes the game with it.

As fun as having different sized characters is, that bug alone makes the mod not worth it until it's fixed.

With this mod + SE 1.9.25 installed, pasting the lines above into my .species file causes the game to crash on launch with:

[Error] Application: exception thrown, shutting down: (JsonException) Could not find 'baseMultiplier' or 'effectiveMultiplier' or 'amount' element in stat effect config

What did I miss?

my character started becoming automatically so small that disappeared and crashed my game

The hitbox gets a little drunk while debagging.

Are the misplaced jumping and landing particle effects a known issue or am I doing something wrong with my custom status?

Another one with a nonfunctional mod. Can't use the fermion resizer on myself, and trying to use it on an NPC pops up the menu with "no npc in range" displayed, and no other buttons but to close the menu. This text overlaps with the stats panel as well. The beams work fine, but I can't use the resizer in any way. There's an error in the log file.

stack traceback:
[C]: in ?
[C]: in field 'sendEntityMessage'
[string "/items/active/unsorted/npcsizetablet/npcsizet..."]:47: in field 'onError'

If that helps.

@FelmastProMcLane Installed StarExtensions and it fixed not just the crouching issue but all issues related to this mod with the Draconis.

for some reason the fermion resizer doesn't seem to work at all, the shrink/grow rays work fine.. but the fermion resizer doesn't activate on the player, the interface does pull up when I click on an npc but it states no npcs are nearby, which is.. odd, not sure what could be causing this.

@FelmastProMcLane No. the world just doesn't start, if I delete this mod, then there are even more errors, but unfortunately I won't find those logs anymore. Sorry

On it, but, are there any more errors?

shipworld file is dead

My save does not loading
[Info] Error while asking the player for a crew body size: Unknown entity

So, I found out that in my testing I always used Star Extensions and that seems to fix the offsets.
Hopefully it shouldn't cause problems.
Fixing it seems to beyond this mod's reach, as changing offsets dynamically is something that is out of my reach.

@FelmastProMcLane I just tried it with a very minimal mod list and the crouching issue still exists for both, however the walking issue only applies to the Draconis (Using full dragon reskin) which I'm assuming isn't really in the scope of this mod to fix. (being an interaction with an old species mod)

So, story NPCs now have their default (%100) size to avoid problems.

@ERROR2401: It does sound like a problem of the interface not putting limits.

@Screamo Cereal: Yeah, it's a bug, it tries to avoid making the player stuck on the ground when teleporting, it supposedly grows slowly. What size was your character?

@Solar dragon: Do you have another mod that changes sprite animations?, also, weapon/shield melee hitboxes are a too dificult to change, I do have an idea for another mod that may also help me with that, but I don't know if it will work.
