Description:
Adds new wall holograms & a full body wireable Avali hologram, new ribbons types, a new rail tram, new windchimes, some decorative augmentation pods like those of the apex, and a drone you can capture to protect you while you’re out exploring!

Changelog

New in 1.1.2:
Added a new hologram of an avali sitting in two different chairs. Can be craftable at the Nanolathe.

New in 1.1.1:
Redid the colored ribbons to more closely look like the colored tapestry and trim tiles. I noticed the ribbons in the default mod are not colored, but stay tuned for that 😉

New in 1.1:
Everything, execept for the rail tram, is now able to be recolored through the Avali Coloriser with the Avali (Triage) mod. (Not the Avali Colored Items Addon – Holograms & More, but I highly recommend that mod as well).

Keep in mind that the objects that are colored with the coloriser will retain their default preview sprite, as it’s just a quirk with the game. (It does this with the default avali objects as well) in the inventory and while placing. So long as the name has a "(Red)", or "(Blue)", Etc tag at the end, then it should work fine. Try placing the object before reporting a bug.

Go to drone segment to read on how to recolor it, as it can not be recolored through the Coloriser.

–Fixed–

Fixed the pod’s lit sprite.
Slightly redid the colored occupied pod’s sprite to be compatible with all colors.
Minimized pod’s cover sprite and changed to a neutral gray to maximize compatibility with all colors.
Added missing texture for rail tram that was throwing a benign error otherwise.
"Fixed" the wind chimes to start at the first frame instead of second.
Made full body hologram able to spawn in avali tenants.
Corrected the description for the aerogel chimes. Thanks, firebudgy!

–Issues–

Any objects that are wired to be a light, i.e. The pods and full body hologram are unable to have colored lights now due to them being patched to be able to be colored. I toned down the radius of the lights so users can decide on what ambient lights to put around the objects.

Includes:

– 7 New Wall holograms similar to those found on the vanilla space stations. 6 Are animated while the medical one is not. (Craftable at Nanolathe)
– 1 New Full body wire-able Avali hologram. (Craftable at Nanolathe)
– 2 and a half augmentation pods. Empty one can be interacted with like a force prison cell and will heal your character and prevent hunger decay. (I tried making the pod cover the entire tail of the Avali hence why the character is so far to the side while in the pod. If the Avali is in the center, then their tail would be sticking out of the pod.) (Craftable at Nanolathe)
– 10 new ribbon types. Half length and torn. As well as a full length, half, and torn of the trimmed and tapestry variety, which can be stuck on the ceiling. (Craftable at Nanoloom)
– 2 Wind chimes. One made of aerogel and the other made of crystals. (Craftable at Nanoloom)
– 1 New Rail tram that functions just like the rail trams added in the 1.3 update. (Craftable at Rail Station)
– 1 new drone monster that can be captured with the vanilla capture pod. The drone is assembled from the Avali Drone Assembler (Craftable at the Pet Capturing Station. The same place you craft capture pods.)

Server Use:

This mod is not client side. In other words, your server must have this mod included in its own mod file in order to run correctly.

Mod Info:

This mod contains a lot of ids so I will not post them here, instead I’ll post a link to the ids here:
https://pastebin.com/nm0aLnVD

If you wish to spawn an object in with command, use the following command while in admin mode (/admin in chat)
‘/spawnitem ****** #’
where ****** is one of the file names listed above of your chosing and # is the amount of objects you wish to spawn in. So if you want so spawn in 4 full body avali holograms, type in ‘/spawnitem avalihologramfull 4’ without the apostrophe.

About the Drone

The Drone is based off of the original concept art of the Avali.[avali.fandom.com]

Due to the nature of the game engine, I figured the best way to obtain the drone is through the way I implemented it in the game.

It can not be found in the wild, only able to be obtained through the drone assembler. The actual behavior of the drone has been modified compared to vanilla behavior so it acts different than normal monsters you’ve captured. It has a 100% capture rate at full health–unlike the vanilla monsters–so you don’t need to damage it before capture. It should follow you more reliably than the vanilla monsters and prefers to use its gun over just bumping into other monsters when attacking, but it might not be that accurate when aiming for small monsters. It has an innate resistance to elemental attacks and heals itself slowly over time, but it can still be healed and revived like all other captured monsters.

Warning about the drone

The drone is not aggressive when spawned from its assembler pod before capture, but if you accidentally damage it, it will become hostile towards you and it can be permanently killed if you kill it before capturing it. If you leave the area or teleport away from it, the drone will also be lost and you will have to craft a new drone assembler. Have a capture pod ready before releasing the drone for capture. I’ve tested out spawning over a hundred of these things, and VERY rarely (like twice) it can receive damage when spawning in, immediately becoming hostile or dying. You can still throw a capture pod at it if it’s hostile towards you. Throw the assembler in a large enclosed space in order to maximize success.

About the build requirements

The build requirements are quite outrageous, but I decided on that for two reasons.
1.) To prevent griefing on servers form spawning in many monsters at once.
2.) This is a very powerful monster compared to the default monsters. It should be expensive to make one. Once you’ve captured one in a vanilla capture pod, you don’t need to spawn in another one if your first one is defeated in battle. Just use a Pet Healing Station[starbounder.org] and it should be good as new.

How to recolor the drone

Recoloring the drone is a bit more tricky, but not impossible so long as you have access to your console commands. Refer to this pastebin link and decide on the desired paint color to use for your new drone:

Remember, the drone will spawn in where ever your mouse cursor is pointing, so make sure to direct it to a spot where you can get to:

Disclaimer

This mod was mostly made for my personal use, but I figured that many people online would enjoy using these as well. I’m not that good of a sprite artist or programmer, so if I broke anything, please let me know, but no promises that I can fix them. Any issues I could foresee arising is a form of incompatibility with other mods with the item ids/names. Feel free to do whatever you want with it. Download it, open it up, see how it ticks, modify it, set it on fire. Whatever. Just don’t pretend you made it if you decide to re-upload it elsewhere, please. And of course, make sure to have fun!
