This mod causes an infinite traceback error when Novakid is rendered in compatibility with certain mods. It took me forever to find it..

[Error] Exception while invoking lua function 'update'. (LuaException) Error code 2, [string "/scripts/colorutil.lua"]:43: bad argument #2 to 'insert' (position out of bounds)
stack traceback:
[C]: in ?
[C]: in function 'table.insert'
[string "/scripts/colorutil.lua"]:43: in global 'hextorgb'
[string "/scripts/spectra.lua"]:16: in function <[string "/scripts/spectra.lua"]:11>

say does this work with Novali's?

on the black light should add the color for black lights in lazer tag arenas

update, yes this seems to work completely client side with other people even being able to see the glow

For those asking, this does seem to work client side, however I have yet to test it with people around (I've tested on a server that doesn't have this mod, but nobody was online)

alright, thanks

@ashen: after reviewing the code, yes, only the hue (of the second colour, of which there are four) effects the glow. if that colour is black, it'll cause a white glow, because the hue of black is also the hue of white. the main problem is that, in starbound, a black light is just no light.

if you show me what the "inverted dark blue" palette looks like, maybe I'd have an idea for how best to make it glow nicely

it seems to only be white when dark, thanks though

@ashen: it works with any colour, but was calibrated for vanilla colours so dark colours may look strange, not sure

@VariableVixen: not sure honestly, it might work client-side though

probably not but, just incase. and if it doesnt hope someone can make a mod patch for the inverted dark blue color

question, does this work with modded colors?

Is this client-side or does the server also need the mod?

idk if it's my mod combo but no matter what color Novakid I play as no colored light will show up its just the normal (super bright) uncolored light.

I wish this mod was compatible with Narrator's Racial Abilities, both add glow for novakid
different colors are super cool but I'm too lazy to switch between mods if I want to play as different race
anyway very good mod makes sense for novakid to actually glow

Could you perhaps also add support for the spirittree race? Aka the ori race. Perhpas it could even be a seperate mod/addon? https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2191906942

Solar Spectra - Radiant Snuggets when?

Hello Azulaloi! I was interested in using this system for my own race to make their eyes glow, but the eyes are on the secondary (undy) color. I can't figure out how to make it work together, and was wondering if you'd be able to help me? I don't know how to work with lua coding so i'm very limited in what i was able to figure out.

It works with Omeruin's Nebulac race too!

this works with novali and that makes me have stroke

I love this mod, but it's a bit too bright for me. Would it be possible to get a version that uses the same brightness as the default white glow, except with the color-matching ability?

thx

This is incredible! I'll never need torches again.

ok thanks!

It should work with any color, but a black light would be interpreted as a very dim light

Will this work with things such as black core novakids (where the colors are x color on outside black on inside) or novakids with sorta invis colors?

Yes, it should match the colors correctly

does this work with vibrant novakids?

Does this mod only affect the player? I have a Novakid crew member and he doesn't glow any brighter than the default.

To change any values, you need to create a local version of the mod. There are two ways to do this.

The first is to unsubscribe from the workshop entry and download a copy from the git repo, and put that in your mods folder.

Alternatively, go to [steamapps\workshop\content\211820\1590402990] and make a copy of contents.pak, then unpack using the asset unpacker. Then unsubscribe. Put these files into a folder in the mods directory, like this [steamapps\common\Starbound\mods\az-solarspectra].

The specific value to tweak is in [az-solarspectra/scripts/spectra.lua] on lines 18 and 19. "hsl[2] =" sets the saturation and "hsl[3] =" sets the lightness, on a scale of 0.0 to 1.0. Starbound interprets lightness as the brightness of a light, so you may need to increase the saturation as you increase the brightness to prevent it from getting washed out. You can save the script and use the /reload command in game to quickly test different values.

Hope this helps.

Would it be possible to make a slightly less bright version?
Or potentially knowing which value to change to make it dimmer?

awesome

Yeah, I originally added a new status, racial effects are saved in the player file so without the mod it wouldn't be able to load. Now it just switches the script attached to the existing novakidglow status so when you uninstall it just goes back to norma

It still functions the same, just doesn't leave changes in your save so you can uninstall

As of v0.2, you may uninstall at any time. If you previously used v0.1, load your character with v0.2 at least once before uninstalling.

Does this mod cottupt with the Novakid Glow Mod?

Fishoni is a liar. I had to fix it for her because she doesn't even know how to open .zip files.

Yeah took forever but I fixed it with your guide (;

Don't you know that you'll go blind if you keep looking at the bugs?

Not sure how much more clear I can be about how to fix your character, it's two comments below you and also in the description

RIP fishoni

This corrupted my novakid character file

No problem, I know the pain of editing statusEffects, just wanted that to be put in the mod description for others to be aware, is all ;p

and? uninstalling it does the same

Removing mods risks invalidating character, ship, or universe data, and you should make backups before installing/uninstalling anything. Fortunately, manual correction is, in this case, possible. I have written a guide here. [pastebin.com]

My apologies. I should have used a more invasive method to overwrite the existing novakidglow so that it could be uninstalled more easily. Unfortunately, making that change now would cause problems for existing characters.

FYI, removing this mod will brick your Novakid characters.

Congrats on front page! and YES PLEASE WE NEEDED THIS YOUR A GOD.

hey could anyone tell me if this is server or client side?

Oh yeah. Congratulations! You made the best mod ever ^D^

if I were to guess @Chaya2766 I would say it is server side, for the glow to work for everyone then the server would need to see it. Woudn't make scense if only the one player could see in the dark.

is this client-side or server-side?
