[oSB] Universal BYOS Patcher
This mod relies on functionality from OpenStarbound[github.com]. The script will not work without it.
You will also need at least one of the supported BYOS mods below. Without one, the script will do nothing.
Build Your Own Ship
Frackin’ Universe
This mod will detect if you are using one or more of the supported BYOS mods (above) and automatically add BYOS support to all of your modded races.
For example, if you have BYOS loaded, this will update relevant files as if you had a mod like BYOS Megapack installed.
Likewise, if you have Frackin’ Universe loaded, this will update relevant files as if you had a mod like FU BYOS Modded Race Patch installed.
The only difference is that this will, in theory, support ALL playable races!
After nearly 9 years of not playing or modding Starbound, I randomly decided to reinstall it. It turned out other Starbound modders are far more dedicated than I am. The workshop exploded with a ton of really cool mods since I was gone. The game even got the OpenMW treatment! After downloading a gazillion mods, I have far more content than what my tiny smooth brain could ever handle.
But wait! I wanted to play a Mechit. I also wanted to build in space in the space building game, and there isn’t a BYOS patch for them! I could make one myself but I am incredibly lazy.
Inspired by mods such as Silver Sokolova’s [oSB] Universal Instant Crafting for All Mods, I wanted to make a mod that takes advantage of OpenStarbound’s expanded Lua API to do all my hard work for me.
Shouldn’t be too hard. It won’t be frustrating, right? OpenStarbound’s assets.patch function won’t return a value indicating a successful application of a patch while a couple hundred lines down will be the message that he patch had actually failed to apply, right?
The lesson that I am never going to learn in life is that automating a process tends to be harder than just going through the process. But that process is now automated, and now maybe you will enjoy it.
That’s right! The machine now does my job for me. I’ve been replaced. All hail the machine!
As before, I need images of people’s builds.
Send me an image of what your ship build and I will add it to the workshop images!
If you run into an error, provide your starbound.log file.
A mod list would help too.
