Dublicate item entry found on game load, if I were to take a guess that's because of the original mod being installed and run alongside Redux, which is impossible to do due to said dublicate items.

If that's not the case then I'll need to know what other related mods you have in your install to see where the second item file could be coming from.

P.s. Copies of mods installed locally while also workshop subscribed could be loaded by the game twice and cause errors as a result, so might wanna check that as well if applicable.

Installing this mod causes the game to crash on startup. Found these in the .log file

Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks for the reply.

"Protogen race" is a separate species from the "Redux" so these 2 won't affect the latter.
Attached collection has the addons for Redux what I'm currently aware of (plus a head reskin, and a compatibility fix for Protogen Race to give it more exposure).

Hey, not sure if this has been discussed anywhere, but how does this mod interact with the protogen customization mod and its 0.9.5 patch ? Are there any issues you know of?

The blocks and other recipies are shared between them.

Why is protogen race a dependency when this adds another race to the list rather than modifying the existing one?

Is the humanoid version installed? It's shown as a required dependency to the side there.

i dont know if its just me but every time i try to make a protogen it immediately errors saying client ship world has errored

It has been resolved.

Hmm, let's discuss in DM's if you don't mind, I can send you the image there.

[09314f] [0a222b] [10141b] [080a0d]
How's this looks? (lighter to darker)

I can implement it for you no problem, but I'm gonna need the rest of the colour scheme for that. Needs to be 3 or 4 colours for 4 shades from the sprite-sheet that it'll replace.

Get the optional Head Module if you haven't already, open one of it's sprites, and pair the yellow fur colours it has with the ones you want, and send the hex code pairs to me here, and I'll drop an update.

Oi, bro, I was trying to add some more colors to your protos, but for some reasons it never worked. I tried patching, changing priority, add inclusion of your mod so my patch loads after it, nothing works, my palette just doesn't appear. Any guesses why that might be?
Or maaaaaaybe you'd be so kind as to add the color for me, pretty please? ) It's just one fur color I need to recreate my main OC, [0a222b] as main tint (I don't have shades and highlights specified since I just sorta figure them out when I draw, so you can just see what works, yes?). Would mean a world to me

Totally amazing!!

Alright, as a bit extra, I've put more elbow grease into it and (finally!) ported the fins over from the Head Module. Now all 28 ear options are unlocked in this mod by default, and will resemble each other in both versions as close as possible. There's one more thing I'll maybe add at some point, but other than that this mod is pretty much done and dusted.

Hope you enjoy.

Hell yeah dude this is amazing

It is done, check the newly created collection please.

I apologize for causing you trouble.

It's probably just a case of OCD that makes me definitely want to put some wings or something on my back along with making my character have a tail, and I appreciate your work and response.

I had actually subscribed to the mod and played through the original mainline again before I left the message, and loved it. Just try to leave a message here to see if there's any solutions, so again, sorry for the hassle. And thanks for your answer!

Why are you asking for less choice? Do you really wanna see the EPP that badly?

Fine, I'll assemble them later. It'll be a patch, so you will have to subscribe to this mod regardless.

If this is the case, would it be a possible solution to fix the tail to the body as an integrated part?

Pick one or two common tail styles as different integrated body addons for a selection of different tails? A separate addon is a body with one type of tail fixed to it? Llike, banded tail (maybe the most common tail been seen for Protogens?).I'm not sure lol)

Actually, now looking at it again... it's even worse than I remember.
There are 2 sub groups for the character sprites, hair, which goes over the head sprite, and facial hair, which goes over both. Now, with some cropping it would be possible to put the tail spritesheets in there, but.

Neither of these have any animation functionality, the game expects there to be only 1 frame of hair or facial features and nothing else. So even if I were to dump everything already assigned into just 1 slider, making people click through +200 variations to get anywhere, the end result would just leave you with 6 cardboard cut-outs to choose from.

So, one could say, refer to your username for the definite answer on this implementation.

Thanks for your answer!
Unfortunately, I have no idea what the difference between xStarbound and OpenStarbound is for me as a mod user, and what I'm supposed to do on the user side.
I've also read some of the instructions for xStarbound, and it's in serious conflict with some of the key mods I'm using right now, such as Futara's Dragon Engine.

Also, regarding merge the horns and LEDs together, if it's not too much trouble for you, maybe do consider making a separate addon?
Because it feels like a large portion of racial mods (like draconis, etc.) do use the method of merging a portion of the entity together. (draconis's horns+hair )
Kinda used to it.

That'd be 6 extra species' entries to the character editor, as I've already ran out of sliders what were available and had to merge the horns and LEDs together, I just don't think it's worth it.

On the bright side, xStarbound sourceport [github.com] has support for underlaying and overlaying cosmetic items, letting you have, say, both the tail and an EPP visible at the same time. OpenStarbound sadly doesn't have that functionality at the moment, at least as far as I understand it.

any chance with tails in character creation, rather than cosmetics?

My vision for this mod was less of a 'replacement' and more like a 'side-grade' to the humanoid version. So you basically have both a plantigrade model and a digitigrade model of the same synth line running around. But I guess there's no harm in making a small patch real quick.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3451585162

Note: if you have more than 50 species' mods installed the patch will most likely miss the "protogenrace1" value and not work. Due to the letter P being pretty far down on the alphabet.

And I also don't know any better way to do it at the moment, other than just checking for that value in 50 positions that may or may not exist, so use at your own discretion.
It'll stay Unlisted for that reason as well, at least in so long as I don't find a better implementation, not really satisfied with hackfixes like this.

naa just to disable the old version if we have the new version ^^;;
but not it's clothing or what have you since they can fit mostly every other race
like are we suppose to have both versions of the Protogens?

Hmm, what do you have in mind in particular?

would it be ok if you can make a addon that disables the old Protogen race?

Nah, I was just out of ideas for filler screenshots between the character showcases, so I used some proof-of-concept rooms for the racial intro mission as such.
Unfortunately the rooms aren't even the hardest part of making it by far, so it had to be thrown into the concept limbo for the foreseeable.

those picture on the main page.. the lab n such.. is that a dungeon? or how can i find it?

City dungeons are currently not present and probably won't in the future. There are tennants available though.

towns and cities?

say with these Protogen's can we find them in the wild?
like in town's or city's?

They're in your ship storage yeah. I tried replacing the pants option in character creator with the back but it didn't work out from what I remember.

nevermind, my eyes skipped over the part of the description about tail cosmetics several times

in some of the screenshots, the player is shown with a tail, but in game, i do not have one. Is that a seperate add-on?

Ah, that's an upstream issue I'm afraid. So it would be on either party of the conflicting mods to find a solution. This is more of an expansion type of deal and so I'd rather not mess with the master mod's workings if possible.

I'm curious about does Redux version have solve the conflicts of tiles between the Kenopsea mod. Can you tell me if you change the tile files to make it compatible when you integrating the protogen's mods to become the Redux mod?

Body sprite is the only thing what's "original" in this mod (besides the tails and the gladius), everything else was incorporated or adapted from other places linked all over this page. It'd be rather redundant to make essentially the same species again.

One could I suppose port the head from this mod specifically to the humanoid version, but I don't have any plans on doing that atm, nor am I really stopping anyone else from doing it themselves. Though imo, the re-sprite is already as good as it gets and is freely available.

i meane in redux itself.

That formatted weird but whatever.

It's predecessor
with the head re-sprite covers that perfectly.

is there any way to get humanoid legs?

Well I'm glad you solved it

sorry about the hassle. Had the ancient protogen version too

nvm I found the issue. mod conflicts.

Oh wait does it conflict with one of the races you linked?

Can't send my log file.

Haven't I asked you like a week ago what errors the game was throwing at you in the log? I thought you just fixed it yourself. Anyways, I can't help you without seeing those errors first.
Usual location is in "\steamapps\common\Starbound\storage" the file is "starbound.log".
