Would someone be willing to make a compatibility mod for the Taurikin race? I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing with any kind of code, and work too much to figure it out. Here is a resprite for the Taurikin mod. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1678944265

 

Much appreciated! Also;

Hello, I've been trying to add support for a custom race, however despite changing all the sprites, the character keeps using human expressions during the animations, causing brown eyebrows to appear instead of the matching color.
I've tried looking around, but I can't seem to find what's causing this, normal emotes work fine, but the ones triggered during sex animations seem to just use default human ones.

Does anyone know how I could fix this?

Hi there! Do you have of you have any advice on how to seek permission from Steam Workshop's mod authors when it comes to patching their modded races into SxB? 

I'm currently working on a patch for the Kyterrans, which fall under the guidelines of this mod:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1103027918

The dev gives me free range to alter assets, and upload addons without consulting them, so I'm good to go for this one.

But for future reference this is something I've actually been curious about. Is there any good way to go about doing it? Because you can't exactly just message someone on the workshop just like that. And approaching a dev in their mod's comment section isn't really an option when your project is 18+ xD

Open .../Starbound/storage/starbound.log and search [Error]. If you tell me the last line that is returned from this search, I may be able to help you.

In the race patch I'm making, for some reason the sex emotes do not read the body color correctly even though the colors change just fine when using emotes normally. Any ideas what is causing this?

For extra clarification, the colors used in emote are white and blue. If I make a character that is black and red, the emotes show up as white and red during sex, but black and red outside of sex.

 

Update: It only happens for the player. NPCs show the correct color.

Hey, new modder here, just wanting to ask. Is there a way to give your species custom sounds? Like, I'm making my own species to submit to the workshop, but I'm also making a support mod for here as well, and I want to add my own sounds for the support.

@SkrubzAfterDark   First off, you are gonna want to go into your species file and find the line "ouchNoises". This array should contain two items that are both file paths starting in the root folder (in this case, the folder with your metadata file) and leading to your .ogg's you use for custom sounds. The first item is the hurt sound used for males, the second is for females.

Next, you want to go to ./npc/base.npctype.patch (make it if you don't already have it) and add to that file:
{ "op" : "add", "path" : "/scriptConfig/chatSounds/<race id>", "value" : "male" : [<any number of .ogg paths>], "female": [<any number of .ogg paths>] }
That will give your race custom sounds when you talk to npcs of your race.

For sexbound, you want to make in your root folder a file named sxb_plugin.moan.config.patch and write in it:
[ { "op" : "add", "path" : "/moan/soundConfig/<race id>", "value" :
"male" : {
   "interval" : [2.0,4.0],
   "pitch" : [1.0,1.0]

   "soundEffects": [<any number of .ogg paths>] },

"female" : {
   "interval" : [2.0,3.0],
   "pitch" : [1.0,1.0]

   "soundEffects": [<any number of .ogg paths>] } } ]
This will give you custom sound effects during sex.

Извините, я наверное тупой, но не понимаю, что делать с этими тремя архивами и куда их закидывать .. нужно создавать для них отдельные папки или закидывать все в сам мод sexbound? First time playing starbound

Does step #7 need to be done if I don't want to fuck NPCs?

Hey I wanted to know how to add multiple races into the config patch file. Do I just copy/paste the same line with brackets under the previous one, then rename the species or do I have to somehow redirect it to a folder?

I'm working on the sylveonoid and I'm running into a weird issue. I have completed most of the sprites but whenever entering a sex node, the colors of the character get messed up. Sexbound is changing the color of the sprites, and I have ensured that the exact same colors are being used from the base mod as in my sprites, yet the colors go wrong.

It seems it is trying to replicate the hair color palette. The sylveonoid species has a bodyColor section and a hairColor section, and it seems that sexbound is pulling from the hairColor section for any character color changes.

 

Is there a way for me to fix this within the mod, rather than needing to patch the original species mod?

Taurikin race is like the arachne race, can't be patched without big changes to sexbound bc head positions are hardcoded so races with wider sprites can't be patched.

That's so sad! There are a lot of races that haven't got patched. I wish I could understand all of it so I could patch them. I am a stay at home mom, so I got nothing better to do lol. But I don't understand how to patch at all.
