DrPvtSkittles  [author] 8 Dec, 2023 @ 12:27am 
You can either add me on discord (same name) or use pastebin.com to send it here.
Gender Wizard 7 Dec, 2023 @ 2:04pm 
thanks! how do i send you it?
DrPvtSkittles  [author] 7 Dec, 2023 @ 12:13pm 
Show me the log for any mod you are havin issues with and ill take a crack :)
Gender Wizard 7 Dec, 2023 @ 7:28am 
a friend managed to fix it by using your basic template and copying all properties. i can send you the log and a different mod im working on suffering the issue if you'd like
DrPvtSkittles  [author] 7 Dec, 2023 @ 3:28am 
Can you send me your log? You can use pastebin

Can I also check your folder structure for your images?

Starbound\mods\yourrace\interface\title
Gender Wizard 6 Dec, 2023 @ 12:26pm 
there are literally no errors in the log, i have no idea why it isnt working, the pngs are "vulperafemale" and "vulperamale" and using both lower and uppercase didnt fix it, both in the folder and in the script. also replacing vulperamale and female with "humanmale" and female also didnt work even when i pasted the appropriate images into the folder. plus the image is the correct size 25x24 iirc
DrPvtSkittles  [author] 6 Dec, 2023 @ 11:59am 
There can be a few reasons why your icon is not showing, and it can be unrelated to the image itself.

Are there any other errors in your log?
Gender Wizard 6 Dec, 2023 @ 7:43am 
so i have the icon set up as "characterImage" : "/interface/title/vulperafemale.png" unchanged from the template, but its still not showing up, what do i do, and how do i fix it?

@Defiant.Gamer
Ah I just used 'myfirstrace' as an example. Choose a name that will be unique so you don't have a clash with any other race. Doesn't have to be 'Axolootl', but if there isn't another race with that file name I don't see why not.

And you are spot on about the hairstyles
DefixntGxmer 12 Jan, 2023 @ 1:06pm 
and for me not to do so many hairstyles for each gender, do i just delete the ones i don't need plus the names of those hairstyles on the .species file?
DefixntGxmer 12 Jan, 2023 @ 12:44pm 
I do have a question... i named the species my first race. all the assets that have 'myfirstrace' in them, do i need to rename them to 'Axolootl' to match the .species file?
DrPvtSkittles  [author] 12 Jan, 2023 @ 12:09pm 
Nice! :D
DefixntGxmer 12 Jan, 2023 @ 7:37am 
I'm currently working on an 'Axolootl' species with this! thanks for the great format!

@Morbid Curiosity
Can't wait. I wonder what they'll be.
Morbid Curiosity 12 Sep, 2022 @ 5:06pm 
@maxtgamer2017
You totally can dude, I'm dropping a mod next Thursday that comes with two species.
maxtgamer2017 12 Sep, 2022 @ 2:24pm 
Cool! :steamhappy:
DrPvtSkittles  [author] 12 Sep, 2022 @ 2:04pm 
You certainly can!

Check out the 'Adding multiple races to one mod' part of my guide.

I personally haven't done it, so I hope I've listed all the files you gotta tinker with :P
maxtgamer2017 12 Sep, 2022 @ 1:28pm 
Am I able to make multiple Race Mods with a single subscription. I wouldn't be super surprised that the solution would involve copy-pasting the folder containing the mod.
DrPvtSkittles  [author] 29 Mar, 2022 @ 11:19pm 
Sweet xD
Morbid Curiosity 29 Mar, 2022 @ 2:27pm 
Nevermind, I think I got it
Morbid Curiosity 29 Mar, 2022 @ 12:45pm 
Might be a dumb question, but... HOW exactly do you use 7z to open this?
DrPvtSkittles  [author] 4 Sep, 2021 @ 8:52am 
Fixed the treasurepools.patch file

Removed the items that are found in the starter treasure, and replaced it with the line

{"pool" : "starterTreasure"},

This allows for other mods to tweak the vanilla starter treasure, and have it apply to the custom race.

I am sorry for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall of the race mods that have my error in them >_>
WhisperingFishu 22 Aug, 2019 @ 9:28pm 
oh hi there ! I made a fix for anything using those boosters (AIraceShipFix) on workshop

It fixed it ! yay thanks for answering though

I have to make patches or mods this is for my dedicated server on pingperfect.
DrPvtSkittles  [author] 22 Aug, 2019 @ 7:26pm 
No uppercase
DrPvtSkittles  [author] 22 Aug, 2019 @ 7:26pm 
I think the AI race used an older version of my template where I made an error naming that booster file, or something. It rings a bell.

Go to ships\[RACE]\blockKey.config and make sure 'bigboosterflamesktest' is bigboosterflame[RACE]

Where [RACE] is whatever the ai race calls its files.
WhisperingFishu 22 Aug, 2019 @ 6:53pm 
Hi there Skittles !

Heeeeelp my dedicated server is crashing I'm trying to save one of my user's characters.

He's AI race and the AI race fix doesn' repair it either

[16:56:25.372] [Error] UniverseServer: exception caught: (ObjectException) No such object named 'bigboosterflamesktest'

Is there a way to use this pack you've got here to fill in the missing objects ?

Thank you

I can't open it.
pelxyu 10 Mar, 2019 @ 9:48am 
I dont know how to run it:lunar2019madpig:
DrPvtSkittles  [author] 25 Nov, 2018 @ 5:21pm 
This mod should only clash with anyone who didn't change the metadata file for their race.

I am assuming you downloded from the chucklefish or nexus website? Because I have not made this mod available to sub to.

Check your log file. Its called starbound (no numbers)
Starbound/storage
You can paste it here using pastebin.com

I managed to get around this bug by going into admin mode before interacting with the SAIL and using /spawnitem shipT1. Not sure why this happened.
RaptorWithAnAxe 25 Nov, 2018 @ 4:48pm 
When i started up the game after creating a character, there was no teleporter on the ship. I also could not enable admin (or even any commands, nothing showed up when i typed them)

Could this mod be clashing with other mods?
PrelawGunmir 24 Aug, 2018 @ 10:39am 
ok
DrPvtSkittles  [author] 23 Aug, 2018 @ 8:39pm 
@Gunmir
If you need some help with that, I can help you.
PrelawGunmir 23 Aug, 2018 @ 1:23pm 
maybe adding custom things like the nova kid symbols on ther face
DrPvtSkittles  [author] 21 Jul, 2018 @ 9:25am 
Emily 21 Jul, 2018 @ 9:24am 
wow how thoughtful
a mod for modders
DrPvtSkittles  [author] 9 Jul, 2018 @ 5:58am 
v2.9
Removed cottonwool and duration timer from recipes

Fixed bigboosterflames name. Unfortunately this meant it wasn't renamed with the .bat file.
Kevin Furey 11 Jun, 2018 @ 11:44am 
Cool
DrPvtSkittles  [author] 10 Jun, 2018 @ 10:16pm 
Yes
Kevin Furey 10 Jun, 2018 @ 7:33pm 
Can one publish custom races
DrPvtSkittles  [author] 8 May, 2018 @ 1:52am 
Grizzly Goober 13 Apr, 2018 @ 8:43pm 
neat
DrPvtSkittles  [author] 4 Mar, 2018 @ 3:44pm 
I wouldn't use caps or spaces for race names.
Gelopsys 4 Mar, 2018 @ 8:44am 
like in the mod folder the name of the race mod
DrPvtSkittles  [author] 4 Mar, 2018 @ 1:35am 
Define everything. I wouldn't use caps or spaces for race names, item names and object names.
Gelopsys 4 Mar, 2018 @ 1:07am 
does everything have to be no caps or spaces
