SBSE - Easy Player and Armor Coloring Without Mods (0.10.0 RELEASED - Pleased Giraffe supported)

I remember trying to recolor a quiver and loading my character in SBSE gave me error messages. Hmm.

 

For some reason I cannot save some of the changes I make to my characters. Some of the colors on the characters body get all wonky and an error message appears when I try to save.

 

Please try and provide more detailed feedback. What race(s) did you encounter this issue with? What were you editing before the error happened. What gear did you have on? The more precise you can be, the easier it will be to locate possible bugs.

 

The creator of SBSE is aware of the problem and stated three weeks ago that he had a fix for it that was coming out with the next update to SBSE. It seems to be an error with SBSE itself, though many have speculated it is because of an incompatibility with Starcheat.

I would advise using the 9.3 version or whatever version came before that if you still can.

EDIT: To make sure everyone is aware.. the issue is with the 0.9.4 version of SBSE.

 

Thank you.

 

Not sure if this has been asked or is mentioned in the OP (I've only skimmed it), but is there a way to get asymmetry? For example, I'm hoping to give my character only one cybernetic eye?


Another thing - I recently tried using it and encounted an error. I've tried wiping all SBSE files, reinstalling and redownloading the .exe from the website. The error code is pretty generic, it says: " Warning: Encounted SBSE Error Operation may not have completed"

Help, anyone? Could it be looking in the wrong directory or something? I haven't changed the location of the starbound file or anything, and, to my knowledge, it should be working fine. :/

 

Don't mind it. It still works. The error usually doesn't affect your character, or your changes.

 

It seems I'm having a bit of an issue. SBSE isn't letting me change the color of the Seeker Helmet. Armor and greaves work just fine, but the helmet refuses to change color. Every time I select a new color, the helmet doesn't change to said color and remains at that glaring bright teal. Am I doing something wrong or is the program not changing the right colors?

 

I can quickly try that out in SBSE and see if it works.
You said Seeker's Helmet?

 

I've looked at the Seeker's helmet, and I know the issue.
In Advanced mode, I looked at it's directives and saw this;

So, I tried to change a few of the variables like you may have.

But those changed nothing. The real issue is that those boxes on the left are supposed to be the main color of the headgear meant to change into the ones on the right. Chucklefuck might've messed something up in that for this specific helmet.
So, I clicked add new, and a new set of boxes pop up, both entirely black.

As I said previously, the color in the left box will change into the color in the right box. You click the left box, and you move your mouse over to the part of the helm you wish to change, and click it.

From there, you can change the right box into any color you wish. Let's say if I wanted it green with a blue visor, my screen would look something like this;

You may have already known how to use SBSE's Advanced mode, but this is just incase you might've not known how to use the Add New feature. You can do a lot with Advanced mode.
And, yeah, a lot of it you'll need to do yourself, sadly.

 

Thank you very much! You're a life saver, buddy. Specifically a life of obnoxiously clashing teal helmets.

My personal guess (knowing next to nothing of how the application is programmed) is that Chucklefish changing the helmet's sprite in the update (it used to look horrendous, as I recall) messed up what the program was originally supposed to change. Or something like that.

Either way, thanks for the work-around.

 

No problem! Assuming this helped you out, use it for any other clothing items you have and you can end up making something very unique and creative.
Here's the same example with the Seeker's Helmet, but only I made the visor transparent. (That's a thing I forgot to mention, you can use advanced mode to make some things transparent, others not)

Funny, cause with this example, the eyes don't even show. They might show ingame, but I don't know.
Thanks, Chucklefish.

EDIT; You can make things ha;f-transparent, or completely transparent, too.

 

I'm getting this error when I try to edit a character. I'm running the latest version on Mac.

 

Happens with certain items your character has equipped.
I had it with the space marine armour.

Only happens AFTER you edited them.

 

Bug report!
If you have the Perfect Leggings item (or whatever it's called) equipped, you won't be able to edit your character at all.
To my knowledge, the chestplate works but I'm not sure about the helm.

 

As of recently, this mod needs to be updated. Program notes unable to edit.

 

Is there no way to run this on Linux?

 

The utility, to my knowledge, is completely broken. The man or woman who's so graciously offered our community this seems to be on some sort of hiatus.

Well, almost completely broken. Extremely buggy with this update.
Sorry to break it to you!

 

Ah, bummer. I was digging around in the save fives with a text editior, but thats understandably more difficult that a UI.
