@bad P2P

My best teacher was trial and error, but I'm certain there are some useful JSON and LUA tutorials online. If you're in the Starbound Discord server, there should also be plenty of people to help you take your first steps into modding the game!

where can you learn more in modding the vanilla guns?
Raiizy 31 Oct, 2019 @ 11:16am 
It does not need to be updated, it works perfectly fine
Elster  [author] 31 Oct, 2019 @ 8:27am 
@ 愛らぶゆ

It has not been updated, and most likely will not be.
watermelonmint_ 31 Oct, 2019 @ 3:31am 
Has this been updated to be compatible with 1.4? Checking to see if this is one of the mods causing my game to super duper lag :(
Raiizy 25 Aug, 2019 @ 12:59pm 
Yeah,it was fine,thanks!
Elster  [author] 25 Aug, 2019 @ 11:51am 
@ ♥Your local sex offender♥

If the Borderlands random-gen weapons don't replace the vanilla weapons it should be fine.
Raiizy 25 Aug, 2019 @ 2:36am 
Is it compatible with borderlands random-gen weapons?
•DigitalSpr173 1 Aug, 2019 @ 9:12pm 
Hey, really good mod. My only complain is that Pistols can't be modified with the "Weapon Assembly" mod because they lack the "body" part.
I know it may be too much to ask for a fix, but I figure I should at least let you know so you put that mod into the incopatibillities part. (Everything works fine, its just the pistols that cant be assembled nor disassembled).

@ LondonStotle
Alright, thanks.
Elster  [author] 29 Jul, 2019 @ 7:18pm 
@ Cthuloso

I haven't tested it, as I'm not actively modding Starbound anymore, but as long as the update hasn't drastically changed the way guns are generated it should be perfectly fine.
Cthuloso 29 Jul, 2019 @ 3:58pm 
Does this work with the BH update?
MerekiDor 27 Mar, 2019 @ 12:03am 
I got it, thanks.
Elster  [author] 26 Mar, 2019 @ 10:28am 
@ MerekiDor

red3dred is right, FU also changes the same items, which means one will override the other. Either you get my guns without FU's stat changes and abilities, or you'll get their guns without my stat changes and abilities. My textures will still appear in that case, but you'll have guns with incorrect base offsets and muzzle offsets, meaning you might hold guns strangely and bullets will be coming out of the wrong area of the gun. I might make a full FU patch someday, but in the meantime I recommend the compatibility version of Starbound Weapon Overhaul if you're using it alongside Frackin Universe.
Redstark Magnusson 26 Mar, 2019 @ 9:57am 
@MerekiDor From what i understand; FU weapon types (Flak Cannon, Sawed-offs, SMG's) don't get abilities or effects from this mod and weapons from the normal pool (Assault Rifle, Shotgun, etc) might not generate with FU secondary abilities.

That and the fact that the FU weapons look like a f'ing mess after installing this.
MerekiDor 26 Mar, 2019 @ 2:31am 
hold up, how is it incompatible with FU? i've been playing with this mod for a few months now and had no issues at all.
IndigoTail 21 Mar, 2019 @ 7:16am 
@Pu$$y De5tr0YeR Yes and it works perfectly.
Enlightened 12 Mar, 2019 @ 11:12pm 
Is it compatible with weapon assembly?
Knightly Lol 23 Jan, 2019 @ 1:11pm 
Will do. Thanks
Elster  [author] 23 Jan, 2019 @ 8:33am 
@ Knightly Lol

This mod doesn't edit anything at all regarding the treasure pools. All it edits are the weapons themselves. Weapons will still spawn in all the same containers they used to, and as long as Elithian Alliance doesn't edit the randomgen weapons (which I'm fairly certain it doesn't) they should be perfectly compatible. The treasure pools can be finicky though, it could be that you're just having a streak of bad luck. I recommend you continue looking on other planets.
Knightly Lol 22 Jan, 2019 @ 9:08pm 
Woud you know if this is incompatable with the Eilithian Alliance mod? I'm trying to make sure but havent found a single randomgen gun. The NPC's have them but none have shown up in crates on planets......
Miralyn 10 Aug, 2018 @ 4:35pm 
Can you also rebalance legendary guns? They feel a bit underpowered compared to weapons from this mod thanks to their old stats which were nice in original game but feel weak with this mod.
Overlord 24 Jul, 2018 @ 4:01am 
good
Redstark Magnusson 14 Jul, 2018 @ 6:09pm 
Hmm, i can assure the abilities are yours, and so are the names. Like, a Flak Cannon with a custom " slow homing rocket" that doesn't follow the cursor, instead it actually follows the laser pointer, so i can't just make rockets turn around corners, yet they do indeed have Cosmic, Shadow and Radiation elements. I can't explain this, but i guess it just works... (Praise Todd Howard). I might not have the FU special weapon abilities, but i don't miss "Globe Launcher" nor "Shatter Cannon".

Anyhow, i understand that making a compat patch is a slipper slope where once you start with one, you give the opening for people to ask for more and more, i'm okay without a Compat patch, but just saying, i think my game might somehow be a perfectly fine working mix.

EG's of the compat: Cosmic Machine Pistol, Shadow Shotgun/Rifles, Flak Cannons with custom abilities...
Elster  [author] 14 Jul, 2018 @ 10:13am 
@ red3dred

You're likely not encountering as many incompatibilities as you otherwise would be because Frackin' Universe is taking priority over my mod. If my mod had a higher priority than FU, guns would be missing all the elemental effects added by FU, their names would be different, and they would be lacking all of the stat changes FU makes, such as crit chance or new special abilities. As it stands, it sounds like only the new weapon sprites took priority. I'd recommend using the compatibility edition instead of this one, just to be on the safe side. I don't plan on making a Frackin' Universe patch.
Redstark Magnusson 13 Jul, 2018 @ 11:55pm 
So... i've been using this with FU for a while now, yet i'm not sure what are the actual compatibilities other than possibly changing the ability pool... I mean, other than short-barreled shotguns, i've found pretty much all FU weapon variants, and they seemed to, for the most part, pull from the Overhaul weapon sprites.

Anyone know of the specifics of that, or has more to report on the topic?
A kobold 29 Jun, 2018 @ 9:52pm 
should add miniguns, the longer you hold the button the faster they fire. low base damage but high fire rate and low energy used.
Elster  [author] 29 Jun, 2018 @ 8:10pm 
@ Frenchiveruti

None specifically modeled after it, no. But I am working on another Starbound project that adds a couple of bullpup rifles with similar design. Keep an eye out for it soon.
Frenchiveruti 29 Jun, 2018 @ 12:38pm 
I'm a fond CS.GO player, I have to ask, does you mod have my main weapon, lord of all games, the P90?
:D 11 Jun, 2018 @ 5:29am 
Can we have a version with only the new abilities?
Elster  [author] 9 Jun, 2018 @ 10:17am 
@ R00k13

Must have been added by another mod, if I had to guess.
R00k13 9 Jun, 2018 @ 5:16am 
I see. Thank you.
Funny thing is i found it a few moments ago.
Its legendary rarity and the name is RL-Rapid Mk 1
VERY usefull in mech areas so if anyone finds it.
Keep it. Especialy if it's tier 6
Elster  [author] 8 Jun, 2018 @ 3:10pm 
@ R00k13

There are no unique weapons added by this mod. The one new rocket launcher ability, Micro Missiles, has a random chance to appear on any common rocket launcher generated with this mod. If you can't find a rocket launcher with the ability, just turn on admin mode and spawn the item commonrocketlauncher until you find a variant with Micro Missiles.
R00k13 8 Jun, 2018 @ 10:21am 
Can i get a spawn code for the uniqe rocket launcher, please?
(the one that shoots rapid and homing missles)
Vitnir 15 Apr, 2018 @ 10:13pm 
Could you(or some other interested modder) make a version that combines all the changes this makes with FU compatability/functionality?
ReaverSP 30 Mar, 2018 @ 11:50am 
Maybe you could down scale the weapons a 25% more, give them more detailed/custom muzzle flashes and have the characters carry their guns with a more relaxed/close pose like Lyetzi's mod. This would make this mod moar purrfection!
Your Local Idiot 29 Mar, 2018 @ 3:05pm 
@LondonStolte thanks for the update hope it goes all smoothly for you
Elster  [author] 28 Mar, 2018 @ 9:57pm 
@ atomic warlord

It hasn't been implemented yet. I ran into a small technical complication that slowed my progress. I'm considering just redoing the pistol sprites to use three parts as normal, but it might be a while before I get around to it.
Your Local Idiot 28 Mar, 2018 @ 8:00pm 
@LondonStoite Have you had the time to work on what i have mentioned?
Elster  [author] 18 Mar, 2018 @ 9:42am 
@ ScrubbieDoo

As far as I can tell from that mod, it only adds new (and extremely impressive) weapons instead of altering the existing ones. They should work fine together, unless it makes some big modification to randomgen weapons.
ScrubbieDoo 18 Mar, 2018 @ 8:47am 
I hope it's not a stupid question, but is this mod compatible with Lyetzi's gunners mod?
CzechAdam 13 Mar, 2018 @ 11:43am 
i love this mod the guns look awsome and they´re amazing
Elster  [author] 13 Mar, 2018 @ 8:00am 
@ Sage Pie

Are you saying you uninstalled and it broke, or are you asking if it would break if you would uninstalled? It shouldn't be a problem, but trash any weapons with the new custom abilities before unsubscribing to be safe.
Neo_Prime 13 Mar, 2018 @ 3:31am 
what happen when i delete this mod and Starbound be broken?
Elster  [author] 12 Mar, 2018 @ 11:41pm 
@ LDeyzurada

Yes, if everyone on the server has it.
JJ - V 12 Mar, 2018 @ 11:31pm 
Are these multiplayer compatible?
Gulf of SpaceX Debris 12 Mar, 2018 @ 12:30pm 
thanks!
Elster  [author] 12 Mar, 2018 @ 12:29pm 
@ Driver Nephi from New Vegas

Yes, it does.
Gulf of SpaceX Debris 12 Mar, 2018 @ 12:20pm 
does it affect the sprites of pre-existing guns you had before you download the mod? just want to know.
Valerion 10 Mar, 2018 @ 11:22am 
Soo it looks like your a skilled modder. Could you reMod in the bone hammer, bone axe and that slave sword (heros sword) ive tried looking for mods on them already but I cannot find then, I also tried to create them myself but I am an inexperienced spriter and coder so it didnt work, So the last option I had was to ask someone who has already modded in weapons. So if you could remake these weapons please do, i have big hopes
