Lemmie know if you ever have a server up and what id need to join, id love to take part ^^

I unfortunately, lack the ability to host a public server, also the mod list I use is over 100 mods or something crazy like that, so that’s probably out of thr question. I do believe there is a post on this forum though for a 24/7 server that runs just vanilla starbound and big fatties if your looking to play with people

Well dang, iv never really modded starbound before but what in your opinion is some of the best/required to enjoy the mods on here?

Alright new update with the textures touch-ups is out

A friend of mine showed this mod to me and complained about how difficult it is to install. I’d like to offer some help in that regard. It’s an easy addition, and will allow installing by simply dropping the mod into the mods folder.

What you want to add to each of the mods is a _metadata file, placed beside the items folder. Open it with a plain text editor (E.g. Windows Notepad, don’t use Word.) and paste the following into there. You can edit the red highlighted values as you see fit, as long as they keep the double quotes around them.

{
  "author" : "John Doe",
  "description" : "A description for the mod.",
  "friendlyName" : "The name shown to the player",
  "name" : "Another name, used only by the modloader itself",
  "version" : "Anything",
  "requires" : ["Big Fatties"] // for Granular, use "Big Fatties Granular WG"
}

The important part is the “requires” entry, which tells the modloader to load these other mods before this one. In the case of your mods, it tells the loader to load the base mod first, and then apply your own mod on top, overriding the base sprites with those you have provided.

The “friendlyName”, “author”, “description” and “version” parts are just for show, and are displayed to the player in the mod list:

Looks good, I can’t wait to install it

Ohh I see thank you, ill give it a try when I have the time

Okay, mod updated, you should be now able to just drag the folders into your starbound mods folder and they should work(theoretically speaking)
as for the flabby blob add on and the glitch replacements, well you now just have to merge those files into this mods folders

Not quite sure what or why, but the Tubby and Corpulent sizes do not feature the chubby face textures for me, is this intentional or am i doing something wrong?

For wich race?

Also have the textures for the body even changed?

Its because I named the metadata file wrong, it easy fix, just change the metadata file in the folders name to _metadata

Yeah the textures have changed, but the face keeps swapping for some reason, i’ve already changed the name of the metadata folder and it still looks like this:

Those arent even the updated textures, you installed the older versions the way I had it done before?

Also just to double check, you changed both of the metadata files in both of the folders correct? It looks like the granular textures are not working if that’s the case

I’ve installed both 3.6 versions, changed the metadata files to _metadata and this is the result

ill be real, I have no idea why its not using the granular textures, by all means it should be, is the mod showing up under the starbound mod loader?

The Grandular version, yes, but not the normal BF version. Seems wierd

Well, you can always install it the old way, just dont copy in the metadata folder.
But yeah I have no clue what’s going on with this stuff
