Argonian Spin-off Mods: Ships!
I'm greatly appretiative of you bringing this mod back from the Grave but I really wouldn't mind a version of this that swaps out the teleport and A.I with yellow versions and the ship of the Frigate or SOMA vessals (or even the human vessal) I tried several variants of mixing up the files and just came up with an array of issues myself.

I know its very typical of modding fans to just snap their fingers and expect the modders to miraculasly make whatever they desire, If I had more free time between a job and starting a company I would attempt to make something from the ground up. but if you or someone like you with a greater understanding on how the files communicate with each other and archive then myself could possible have a whack at it, that'd be great! If not, fair enough.

Not even looking for some elaborate finished mod. I just want to play an Argonian in space. with a nifty ship for exploration and.. yellow energy/A.I themes. I would even just follow the human template with everything else if I need to (actually attempted mergin a human template with the Argonian one.. kinda sorta got it working but was unabel to change horn and skin-color.)

Only reason I make this a kind of discussion thing is, well given the Argonian culture from Elderscrolls as much as I despise the Floran, their ship/architechture style is the closest vanilla style to use as a base!

For personal use I would prefer those styles of ship in black/red Variants. though if someone was interested in picking this up for re-upload I could understand more brown/green tones being used c:

>:C I would eat you. but you'd probably eat me first. :O I just wanna play a space lizurd in a nice sci-fi space ship asplorin' the galaxy! I don't wanna be flying a tree (although The floran ship does have the observation deck for planting plants which is pretty awesome) it doesn't fit the theme I wanna play personally c:

Here's a quick little patch mod that should set all 3 to human and make it easier for people to edit in another race too. Install it alongside the main mod.

wwwDOTmediafireDOTcom/download/ulbz3uk4mcln0mx/argonianhumantemplate.zip

Pretty much "ai.config.patch" controls the AI image, "teleport_argonian.cinematic" controls the teleport, and "universe_server.config.patch" controls the ship. You'll want to replace human with the intended racename for the .png and .structure values for each.

Additionally in argonian.species.patch, the
"?replace=FEFFFFFF=FFFFFFFF?replace=9bd4ffFF=ffea63FF?replace=31a6ffFF=f5bc00FF",
line controls the teleport color outside of the cutscene, you'll have to find what color you want from the default .species files in the unpacked game assets.

You might have to start a new save for the ship to change.

Feel free to modify or reupload it.

Oh I plopped that in my Mods folder and I got the error when trying to launch the game.

'Fatal Exception caught: (ApplicationsException) Application threw exception during start up' Followed by a bunch of lines ten what I think is prolly important

Asset Source 'argonianhumantemplate' is missing dependency 'argonian'

Hmm, looks like workship versions of mods won't work for that metadata requirement thing :x

I changed the above upload to a new version without that requirement line, re-dl and it should work. If not, then you might have to use the non-steam version of the core mod over on the forums[community.playstarbound.com].

If only the Argonians had vehicles... then we could get an idea of what the ship would look like.

I play as a floran... ._.

Your point? People can dislike certain races. I personally love the Avali, but dislike the Avians. Funny how that one works, huh?

I think an aesthetic style that could work is one based off of the "ebony" mineral from ES canon.
Ebony is a common, but very strong and durable material in the Black Marsh, and it makes sense that once their tech or magic reached space-age, the argonians would employ it. It has a kind of sweeping, primordial aesthetic to it.

What I'm thinking of is a sleek, slightly "mayincatec"-looking magitek cruiser that starts out as a stylized shuttle, like all other starter ships. But then, as you upgrade it, at level 4 or something, you end up with a small hist tree at the center of an atrium. As you go into the final upgrades, the little sentient tree grows bigger, until you end up with a full grown hist.

The hist, being the key to argonian sentience (apparently? whats the ESO lore say now?), religion, and community would be crucial on any major argonian spaceship.

Hiya Grimmers, would you mind to reupload the patch file you've uploaded before? Apparently Steam dislike that link and removed it in some way.

I don't know why they feel the need to block Mediafire, which is as old as Steam.

Thanks!
