what to do if there is no “ship” folder in the original mod folder. This particular situation happened with the "Mechineki" race, since it is an addition to the "Neki" mod

@Hyperspec dont worry about it.. although i cant help you, i hope you find the FU variant!

i am sorry if i made you sigh i ant that thoughtfull when i type most of the time and i hope i can find my fu avali fix i cant seem to find any also i dont have the spriting skills to make my own race

@HyperSpec, that is correct, this is not for FU. This is for my BYOS, which came first. The FU creating just nicked the name. The above manual is for if people want to add their own races to the mods compatibility.You can just install this for the avali to be added, but if you want to make your own race, the text above is for how to do that

also i dont think this is for fu byos... it sais nothing about fu....

I wish it just worked like any other mod and just did its thing before anything
also yes i moved the spawnpoint or verry someties when i make a large ship i just build over it but i am gonna look for simpeler option and i hope i can find one but prob not.... i dont know

Idk if this is necroposting, but I cannot for the life of me figure out this insane tutorial. I can't find out where I'm supposed to find things like "<racename>" or "<modname>", and I think this guide might be out of date? in my workshop folder, all my mods only have an obfuscated/encrypted "contents.pak" file. Help, please!

thank you for the tutorial, you're an absolute legend.

@ibfolk2c Do the troubleshooting section of the main byos mod. this happens because you installed the mod after the character was created. following the troubleshooting section will fix it.

I have an issue, it might very well be a mod i have but when i finished the quest my old shiplocker and a drone charging dock remained floating in the air, and i cant remove them even when trying to turn off tile protection via commands

@yolo.jr: he, thats one way of fixing it. i hope you moved the spawnpoint as well? the problem you described is what happens when you install the mod after the character has been created already. the troubleshooting bit should have fixed it though. (end of post of main mod)

i may have been rude i just want to say i have a way simpeler fix for the ship still showing thing

I JUST BUILD MY SHIP FAR AWAY LOL
so far that the other texture wolt show

@nyxborne - nope, that is an entirely seperate mod, that unfortunately picked the same name as i did, for a mod that does in its core the same thing mine does.

Does this work for the BYOS that is included in Frackin' Universe?

@yolo - this here is the actual addon. just subscrribe. the text included is for additional races, but this thing here is the addon.

if you still see the normal ship textures, check the following
1: you have an avali ship mod as well as byos. remove (for the moment) the ship mod. After finishing this, you can place it back. It can also be that you created the character before installing byos.
2: do the troubleshooting bit from the main mod; specifically: remove the current shipworld file, and start the game. the ship world file will be rebuild without the backgrounds.
3: optional: place back the ship mod that you maybe removed in step 1.

well still even if i try to fix my ship befor rebooting sail it wont work
so i still cant fix ship to fix all the other things cuz im havin problems with the actuel ship png thing staying ya gotta fix this its anoying
okand sorry for all the hate i know u can modit but wheres that actuel addon? i never found it

only askin for the addon cuz my avali ship still a little broken had to start a new
wait a minut it says that itdoesent work cuz the ship damaged but theres a admin command that fixes ur ship welllllllllll ima try that i will be back with the outcome

soo i have been having problems still
the normal ship texture still apears and i cant remove it
tcould you maby post a link to the actuel addon? plz
i am sorry for all the hate

oh (hates himself)

@yolo.jr - if you want avali, you dont need to do this. the tutorial is if you want OTHER races ;) you can just get the addon itself, without having to do any of the above

that does work and if i try to place the S.A.I.L it crashes my game

so i say that the simple option is to talk to other guys who made byos for costum races and let them help u code a better version of this mod

sorry for my past things
plz just make it more simple for me to understand so i can do avali byos ok

HOW U FRACIN DO DIS
make a more simple code wich jut automaticly adds the avali race for byos cuz dis to fricin complex to understand so i sew u and u owe me 10 euro's dude

Ah, alright. thanks for clearing that up!

@••●Dawn Starburst●•• this is the avali mod (completed, no manual work needed besides installing the main byos mod as well). Beyond that, if you wanted to create support for a custom race, that is when you follow the instructions. Basically, i didnt want to be loaded with questions ever other week "could you please support this race as well", so I made a tutorial how to do it as well as the avali addon

Woah woah, ok ok. We have to make the files in the mod folder and put in all this stuff? Just being sure! I've never had to do this from a Steam mod before. And is there a BYOS ship for the avali already made with this mod? Or does this just add more avali ship objects for players to use when building our own ship from the ground up?

@yolo.jr - did you, beside this addon, also have the main mod that this is an addon to installed? if not, please do so, it will probably solve the problem. If you did, there's a trouble shoot section at the end of the main B.Y.O.S. mod available that i would ask you to go through. When you come back with the requested info i can help you better.

and jes my profile is an avali
so fix ur mod u dum dum

it dosent work
my avali cryd for an hour fix ur stuipid mod that dont do anything

Alright, fair enough. I was just looking for some kind of alternative in the hopes of bypassing the issue. I appreciate your help with the situation nonetheless, and will look into those suggestions.

Darlit, i am not going to upload for you. I dont even have starbound installed anymore, and havent for quite a while. Beyond that, it would show me as the author/uploader and i'd be stuck with the support/questions. It's not going to happen, sorry.
You are experiencing a problem with starbounds moduploader itself, not with my mod. I'd advice you to ask on the forum thread i linked you for help.

Far as I've searched after reading that, I have no mod upload option, be it in game or through steam. It just isn't showing for me
I'm currently in the process of uninstalling and reinstalling the game to see if that fixes it, but if that doesn't work then would you be fine with me sending you the files?

check out this site Darlit: https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/uploading-a-mod-onto-the-steam-workshop-step-by-step-how-to.118399/

Long time no chat, but I've managed to get it working. I don't exactly know what it is I changed that made it work, but the kitsune locker and sail are properly spawning in as rewards now. So I believe it to be complete.

Sadly, steam doesn't seem to provide me with an upload button no matter how hard I look, so would it be ok if I sent the files over to you somehow?

minor note: I just tried starting a new character that wasn't a kitsune, and for some reason the objects, shiplocker and S.A.I.L., spawned in perfectly fine.

@Pixel Planet - I checked the itemnames and they're all kitsune<item>, like so:
"objectName" : "kitsuneshiplocker" , "objectName" : "kitsunetechstation" , and so on.

My best guess is that there might be some sort of permissions conflict or something, since I can only spawn the items on the kitsune ship otherwise they become generic. But I wouldn't even know the first thing about how that works, let alone if it's actually a thing that can happen.

Do you think I should also get into contact with the kitsune mod's author as well?

@Darlit_Glitch - I've went with the most obvious naming scheme for other peoples mods. but theres a chance that the kitsune author names it "shiplocker_kitsune" or "shiplockerkitsune" or shiplocker-kitsune, or even "kitsune_shiplocker" - can you try and find out what the kitsune shiplockers name was?

All in all, this worked well! But I hit a snag on my end.

I followed your tutorial to the letter for adding the kitsune race, and it seems like one of the two mods just doesn't want to play nice when it comes to spawning items. Cause when I get the reward after clicking on the broken S.A.I.L., it gives me the avali S.A.I.L. and shiplocker instead of the kitsune one.

...and I think this this might be caused by something on the kitsune mod's end, since it takes the [ /spawnitem kitsune<itemname> 1 '{"colonyTags":["kitsune"],"race":"kitsune"}' ] command to spawn the specified items. Unfortunately, this requires admin, which I'm hoping not to use, and you have to be on the kitsune ship while spawning them, else you get the perfectly generic item.

So I was wondering if you might have any ideas or insights on how to work around these problems? I want improve the capability of the patch so that it functions properly. If need be I can send the files I'm using.

@firangiz - FU took my mod name, but wrote its own mod. this mod is NOT the same as FU, and not compatible with their implementation. I've heard people who disabled the fu byos, and added mine + addons. I dont have experience with it myself, but i've been told that that works

fu dosent have the avali in them and this one for some reason dosent kick in when its whit FU

no, this is the avali addon. and I used this addon to explain how to make them for other races.

do i need to go into the files if i just want avali?

fracken has its own implementation of a byos like system. if you opt not to use that one though, you can still opt for this one, i've heard people who preferred it this way, but havent tested it myself

is this fracken compatible?

the problem on existing characters is that the game has already deemed certain blocks "unremovable". Backup the stuff you want to keep offship. Remove your shipmod, install byos+addon. upgrade to byos, and remove your shipworld file (instruction on mainmod's troubleshooting section). Thats the only way to do it on already existing characters, and no amount of mod patches would solve that i'm afraid.

I want to use BYOS, I liked the ship at first but stopped really liking how it looked

@nerdcuddles - why would you want this though? you got a custom ship for avali, and want to combine it with a build your own ship for avali..... if you only want the byos ship for your non avali characters, dont install this addon, and dont pick up the quest with your avali characters.. the main byos mod is only for the vanilla races

That sounds to complex, Could you just add a patch for this mod? Or should i ask a friend
