    Look online for a tutorial for extracting the correct pak file. Currently, Starbound has all the assets compressed in a .pak file and you need to go through a series of steps to extract it all. Mind you, extracting is primarily for referencing. Editing the files in the extracted folder won't change anything as Starbound draws from the stuff within the pak file itself.

    It doesn't quite fit here, but how do you recolor armor in Starcheat?

    Actually, there seems to be a bigger issue at hand, for the section specifically on Melee Weapons for the Astora Claymore of Light coding, there is a spoiler section with the whole code with these values:
    -20
    0.3
    4.7,
    -10.5
    70

    Without problems, but there seems to be a mistake of the ranges for the "Idle" spoiler section (Exclusive to explanation) which means both Idle sections don't match up.
    -90
    0.1
    0.5,
    -7.5
    -90

    And yeah i still don't even know how to sheath my weapon but im workin' on it. Sorry for being pedantic if at all cynic o_-

    Does anyone know if there's a way to put a flashlight beam on to anything other than a flashlight?

    Is it possible to make new sprites for armor, or is recoloring the extent?

    To my knowledge it is not possible to make actual armor sprites due to the file properties that are hardcoded into the game, however you can create a held weapon that would overlay your armor. It would take both hands however, and I have yet to perfect this, so, attempt at your own risk.
    As for this, you have no idea how long I slaved over this problem with the same outcome. Its impossible. The flashlight is coded into the game as a tool, allowing it to output light, while say a weapon is coded in as a generatedweapon, and therefore cannot use the same coding and file extensions that the flashlight can. I'm still holding out some hope it can be used, but so far the furthest I have gotten is putting glow on a weapon, and that....meh.

    This might've been mentioned in the OP or somewhere else on the thread, but im too lazy to search. How would you make it so that, say, your weapon only consists of one or two parts rather than all three?

    Hours upon Hours of drawing, positioning, testing, repositioning, retesting, tweaking, etc. For the tank, anyway. And there arent really any good guides for Starcheat. It is easy to learn, but hard to master, and those who have dont like giving away their secrets. Im inching my way up the ladder, and already have to push away the "Miiiiiine" thoughts when asked for help.

    Hi, i'm having an issue with primary stances for two handed swords. whenever i move the armAngle, the arm always looks half finished and not in the arm socket. I'm not sure what's wrong.
