Bug or Typo Reports
If you run into any issues with this patch, please report them here!

Note: I have NOT tried this with Frackin Races standalone, and I doubt it would function since it has a lot of FU specific things in it. (such as BYOS compatibility)

Also let me know if you spot any typos or errors in the text. I tried to check it but I also edited this so much that I might have missed something.

Not entirely sure if this is the right place to post this but, when I start with a fu-byos ship, the vanilla ship background remains.

You are in the correct place! and huh, odd, can you tell me which ship you selected? I'd like to see if I can recreate the issue -- & while I'm at it, can I get a pastebin of the log file? I'll try to figure out what's up!

It appears to be the case with any of them, when you hit confirm you get a notification informing you of such and gives you a link to install the Frackin ship modded races patch if you haven't already. as for the pastebin of the log, here you go: https://pastebin.com/Xgx6BSb4

Thank you! Yes I see what you're talking about.

It's odd because I did try running this without the official BYOS patch & it functioned, even with a new character... but if I delete all my storage and universe files & start that way, it causes the same issue you described.

Odder still is that I can run other BYOS patched races (like the De'nelaun) with a totally different issue. But when I tried to unpak some of the others I find I have essentially identical files.

I'm also seeing an error regarding the treasure pool on your pastebin, which is showing up for me too now.

I'm honestly at a loss at the moment, so I'm going to keep working on this when its not nearly 1am; but! 1) Thank you for bringing it to my attention, 2) I'm sorry it's doing this!

As a temporary fix I'll probably link in the two FU official patches for modded race additions until I can figure out how to get it to work as a standalone
Vycrius  [developer] 18 Mar, 2021 @ 1:08am 
Ok so it still works on my old files (similar to how the other race is working) with brand new characters, and yet I still can't get the same result on an entirely new universe/players run...

I'll... yeah. I'll figure this out! but it might take a couple of days lol bear with me this is well above my paygrade xD

In the character selection screen the racial stats don't show up, does anyone know what causes this?

I can try and figure it out! Could you send me a copy of the starbound log file in a pastebin?

Hello! I'm hoping this update fixes both of your issues, if not please let me know!

You'll have to delete any characters that started with broken BYOS files to fix those, but any new characters should show both BYOS & the descriptions properly now?

@arafel I'm slowly thinning out the list, opening logs doesnt work (dont have the things for it) so i'm taking the long way around.
whenever playing on my friend's list it works perfectly, and the modlist i use is mostly stuff from my friend's, so far leaving a few candidates as to what it is

-The loading icon but it spins properly (((probably not it)))
-BYOS
-Less Floaty Movement
-Shoggoth Arcana Liquid Fix
-Make the Universe a cuter place (Heemi's version)
-Fists of Fury : Every stage
-Upgrades for Quarterstaff Armory
-Betabound
-explosion death ((((100% sure its not it)))
-Difficulty+
-Compact Crafting ((((a hud mod so probably not it either)))
-Saturnian Villages on Arcana Planets (((doubt it)))
-Expanded Weapon Generation


Whenever i try to load the Mollopod characters it says "Client side ship has errored". so the theory so far is SOMETHING might be messing with the IDS of the custom stuff in the ship throughout these.

doing more testing as we speak i'll keep updated

Part 2 of testing what works or doesnt in the list, looks like using the old mollopod i used in my friend's modlist works just fine, but resubbing to all of those mods (AND PURPOSEFULLY EXCLUDING THE ONES THAT WERE LISTED PREVIOUSLY) and this one while playing a new one totally scuffs it.

also the ship error is probably due to a misloaded character not item IDs i just realized this doesnt add items i'm just stupid lol.

TLDR we might have to comb through all of it together because i'm at a loss of what's the issue, if you wanna go forward from this i'll send you the two lists and we'll check together what might be the problem here. mama didnt raise no quitter

hoping this tags you here so we can look further into the issue! :D

1) Do you have windows? If so you should be able to select "notepad" to open the log file, windows doesn't immediately recognize it as a notepad file but it works well with most of starbound's files.

2) You noted "BYOS" -- that might be your issue, BYOS and FU's BYOS are two very different things iirc, BYOS is built IN to frackin universe, so if you have frackin universe you don't need BYOS. Alternatively, if you don't have frackin universe, this patch won't work with the non FU frackin universe!

I've tried it without BYOS, same old results.
though some very interesting things are going on, the old character DOES run FR even if you noted its a patch for FU and not R so.... maybe we accidentally found compatibilities somewhere lmao:UltimateChameleon:


my options are either trying everything out one by one which would suck (and i'd have to do a universe reset mid playthrough with a friend so O O F) or getting some software to see the crash logs



also yeah i use windows 10

ALRIGHT! got the patch to open after a quick computer reset and i'm 100% sure i figured it out.

"[16:10:43.559] [Error] Exception caught loading asset: /ships/fu_byos/fu_byos.structure, (AssetException) Could not read JSON asset /ships/fu_byos/fu_byos.structure"

AKA

even if its an already made character it somehow tries to load the FU starter ship, no clue as to how thats the case though to be fair this is an FU patch not an FR patch.

TLDR : it wasnt some incompatibility it was just my incompetence smh. though to avoid further confusion like mine i dont think making an FU and FR version of this mod would hurt anyone, completely your decision of course :steamthumbsup:

Yeah that is weird! I'm glad you managed to open the .log file tho, these things are almost impossible to resolve without it aside from doing the whole tedious 'check each mod individually' lol

I can say I think this is a different issue than others were having with mod priority... So, that's good because hopefully that issue is resolved. Bad cause idk whats up with yours yet but heyyy progress xD

Could you copy the entire log file & put it in a pastebin[pastebin.com] so I can try and see what's else is happening?

When I have a bit more time I can also try adding those mods you listed & see if I have any of the same errors. But hopefully I can spot something faster than that with the full log. <3

well good news! me and a friend were talking about it checking crash logs and files and doesnt look like there's any issues, it really is just FR and this patch being weird (fair enough since this is for FU and i was just oblivious to it like an idiot), so making a hotfix for an FR patch should be as simple as just removing the fact you spawn on the BYOS starter ship, right?

Aah yeah this does have some dependencies for FU xD -- since I've seen some interest in it, I figure I'll make a FR standalone version -- it should just be a matter of deleting some files.

There's a couple of things, but the universe.config is probably the main culprit. That is the file that runs the "replace" command for the mollopod's species ship to be replaced with "fu_byos.structure"

Still I think you might run into other issues even by adding a hotfix to this one, especially when the research tree is implemented (because that will be another thing that is FU dependent and not compatible with just FR)

So! I'll work on making this into a FR only patch as well <3
